Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We have been in business since 1978.
What is your primary product or service?
Historic Pueblo Indian Pottery from New Mexico and Arizona.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Even before the end of this distinguished military career, Alexander's personal interest was in collecting pueblo pottery and was primarily what the gallery presented for its first 3 years. Eventually, the range of art pieces expanded with the addition of Hopi Katsina dolls and a few early 20th century Navajo rugs. By the 10th anniversary, adobe gallery grew to twice its initial size; pawn jewelry and 19th century southwest Indian baskets were now evident.
By its 15th anniversary adobe gallery continued its expansion. The appearance of Mission Oak furniture throughout 7 rooms of the historic Antonio Vigil home was evident. Three years later, further expansion of the gallery acquired the remaining 3 rooms of the 125-year-old building.
In 1985, he founded Avanyu Publishing, Co., (click here to view books we currently have available from Avanyu Publishing) which has published 18 books relating to Southwest subjects. He is active in the day-to-day operations of both businesses.
In its 21st year, the gallery added a Web site and inaugurated its global presence. Two years later, a gallery location at 221 Canyon Road in Santa Fe was opened.
In the last fifteen years, Mr. Anthony has lectured extensively at museums, colleges, shows, and conferences on subjects relating to Southwest Indian items. He has served as a judge at the Gallup Inter-tribal Ceremonial, the Santa Fe Indian Market and the New Mexico State Fair. He has also taught classes at the University of New Mexico.
After 25 years, adobe gallery Albuquerque was closed and consolidated with adobe gallery Santa Fe comfortably located in the heart of Indian country.

The only thing you can control in your life are your attitude and your effort. You can't control all the craziness of the people around you, the circumstances, the situations, and the failures and successes. Give it you all and have a positive attitude. It goes a long way tin the world. ~Paul Venables
