“Random Thoughts and Memories” Book and Framed Lithograph SET [SOLD]

A rare and intimate offering from renowned Indigenous artist Fritz Scholder (1937-2005), this set includes the limited-edition miniature book Random Thoughts and Memories, bound in black leather with cloth sides, gilt lettering, and marbled endpapers. Housed in its original slipcase, the book is signed by Scholder and includes a frontispiece portrait of the artist. This edition is part of the highly sought-after Buffalo Room Collection — one of only 100 copies printed by ARC Press in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1979.

-Scholder's writings in this volume are at once insightful, poignant, and at times humorous — reflecting on everything from his experiences in Rome and eating cornflakes to his first love. Originally inserted within the book, the limited-edition lithograph Buffalo (65/100) has been carefully removed and professionally framed, making this a complete and display-ready collector's set.

A significant piece from a groundbreaking artist who challenged conventional representations of Native American identity, and whose work is held in major museums worldwide. Scholder was an enrolled member of the La Jolla Band of Luiseños and was posthumously inducted into the California Hall of Fame in 2009.
