Emmi Whitehorse Retrospective opens at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian

Emmi Whitehorse: Intimate Landscapes is an atmospheric portrait of an artist whose voice and vision are increasingly vital to both national and international art discourse. The exhibition unfolds over two parts in a retrospective format, featuring 40 works: Part I: Light and Space (1980–2000s) and Part II: Line and Form (1990–2020s). This dual structure invites viewers to trace this compelling biography through color and time, which chronicles Whitehorse’s artistic evolution from 1980 through 2026. Each rotation in the Klah Gallery features 20 works, drawn from the Wheelwright Museum’s permanent collection and enriched by loans from Emmi Whitehorse Studio and select private collections. Part II will include a new painting created especially for the show. The works in the Slater Gallery were gifted to the Wheelwright Museum by Whitehorse in 1999, representing one of her earliest series from 1980.
