1973
The Gibbes Art Gallery presented George Catlin’s paintings of Indigenous Americans in Charleston in 1973. The surviving object histories identify individual paintings and retain the exhibition’s historical title and catalogue numbers. Exact surviving examples are George Catlin’s Osage Indians (1861/1869; oil on card mounted on paperboard), listed as no. 26 and George Catlin’s Indian File - Iowa (1861/1869; oil on card mounted on paperboard), listed as no. 21. This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
Also recorded as: Pictures of the American Indian by George Catlin, Gibbes Art Gallery, Charleston, South Carolina
