Best National Appearance by a Colorado Treasure

Last August, a selection from the Denver Art Museum was reduced to a tiny canvas, but it reached a global audience. An intricate 1940s Navajo weaving by master artisan Daisy Taugelchee was one of ten artifacts depicted in “The Art of the American Indian” stamp, a series of 37-cent stamps released by the United States Postal Service. The inclusion of Taugelchee’s piece, which has a permanent home in the DAM’s Native American Arts collection, lent a bit of Colorado cachet to letters sent around the world.
