Notes: Exhibit Catalog.  Not a comprehensive catalog of the baskets in the Clark Field (1882-1971) collection at the Philbrook.  “About eighty of the more important baskets…” (from the Foreword).  For as much money as both Clark Field and the Philbrook had you would have thought the photos would have been in color.  For a more recent, prettier (and more expensive) book on the Clark Field Collection at the Philbrook see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/indian/woven-worlds-basketry-from-the-clark-field-collection-at-the-philbrook-museum-of-art/
