TESTAMENT OF THE OWNER/DIRECTOR, JOSEPH SISNEROS
I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to the thousands of patrons that have taken part in the preservation of our Native American and Spanish culture through the arts. I have been privileged to have represented many of the most talented Native American and Spanish artist in the Southwest. Being native myself ,with ties to San Ildefonso Pueblo I've been part of this great cultural industry my whole life. I was raised in both the restaurant and gallery business since I was 12 years old. I've have been able to share my passion for the native arts with all buyers and educators and anyone who has been able to give their time to listen and share.
My staff and I have assisted thousands of people that have become savvy collectors, investors and local people who share this great passion for the importance and value of our cultural art.
.
The Native art is based in over a thousand years of cultural execution and time ,especially pottery that results in over 50% breakage minimum.
The over all time of production can take months before completion.
Our Native Art has the same great importance in value as all fine art and national treasures do. We have masterpieces and national treasures of great beauty and importance.
Historically the value of Native art has continued to increase in interest because of this historic process . you'll find our prices most reasonable .
Allow my aunt Sandra Martinez, General Manager at my Santa Fe gallery or our staff at the historic Rancho de Chimayo Restaurant to guide you towards what is best for your needs and passion.
We've guided thousands of people in the right direction find pieces.
You don't have to worry , we offer a LIFE TIME TRADE at current value no less than what you purchased your art for....FOR EXAMPLE if the original art piece is purchased for $ 2500 and 5 years later in increases in value 3x or more , the exchange would be 3x what was paid .. . This is part of our preservation program.
Sometimes the galley will ask to buy back a piece for resale. SO PRESERVE YOUR COLLECTION IN ORIGINAL CONDITION.
The piece must maintain it's original condition.
We certify and/or appraise everything of importance.
We truly protect the interest and integrity of the arts for both our collectors and artists. Sincerely, Owner/Director Joseph Sisneros
