Gallery Collection
Michael D. Higgins
When I was a boy growing up in Tennessee, I never thought I would be in the career I have now. I grew up hunting and fishing with my dad and my brothers and spent many hours reading books about Native Americans. After I enlisted and was sent to Vietnam, I was stationed at Davis Montham Air Force Base here in Tucson and opened my gallery in 1972.
Over the years I have developed a fine network of friends, dealers and collectors who help me find wonderful things. So please browse my collection and I hope you might find a valuable addition to your own.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Higgins

Friends, since I’m a “one man band” and out looking at collections and doing appraisals quite often, it’s sometimes best to call my cell (520) 444-3339 before coming over, as I don’t want to miss you.
I offer an appraisal service for older (pre 1945) American Indian items, Pre-Columbian Art, Mexican Antiques and Spanish Colonial items, early Western and Mexican Paintings and all other art mediums. As well as later pottery and weavings by the Matriarchs – Maria Martinez, Lucy Lewis, Nampeyo family, Margaret Tafoya, etc. and weavings by Daisy Tauglechee and all the other great Two Grey Hills weavers.
