Artist Bio: Philander Begay is a celebrated Navajo (Diné) silversmith of the highest standing. He is recognized as one of the most accomplished living practitioners of Navajo silversmithing, and his work has been exhibited, collected, and studied by those who follow the tradition at its finest level. Begay's output is deliberate and limited — he does not produce work at volume. Each piece represents a significant investment of time, skill, and intention. The rarity of his work on the open market is not manufactured: it reflects the genuine pace of production for an artist who refuses to compromise on what he makes.
