Writing for FAD Magazine, Vittoria Benzine has selected Donald Ellis Gallery as one of five “must-see booths” at TEFAF New York Spring 2023. Presenting an extraordinary collection of drawings by Cheyenne warrior artist Nokkoist (Bear’s Heart, 1851-1882) alongside an important collection of historical Native American art, the installation is a “canon-expanding collection of Indigenous art […] hailing from centuries back in the past.”
