The prints in this collection span the 50-plus years of Kevin Red Star's career. The painting reproduced on the cover of the box, Crow Parfleche, dates to Kevin's early days at IAIA.
A parfleche contained the valued possessions of nomadic Plains Indians. These folded rawhide storage bags were beautifully decorated and painted to indicate owner and tribal affiliation. They were prized objects in ceremonial and daily life.
“This is the finest series of prints of my work ever made!”
