Philip Garaway
Native Arts

Philip Garaway has been dealing in museum-quality antique Native American art for the past 31 years. Over the past 15 years he has also built a solid reputation as a dealer in early classic Western and California Plein Air paintings.

Philip’s first introduction to Native American culture came, when as a teenager, his parents moved from Los Angeles to the Monument Valley area in Northeastern Arizona where they were school teachers on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Through his early contacts with contemporary weavers and historic trading families on the reservation, Philip began buying and selling rugs. Soon he was holding shows in American cities across the country. In 1983, Philip opened The Native American Art Gallery in Venice, California. The gallery developed a national and international clientele with a reputation for handling historic pieces of exceptional quality. He lectures at institutions including the Southwest Museum, the Autry National Center, the Bowers Museum, UCLA, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Wyoming and many more. Philip continues his parents’ legacy by volunteering to speak to children at local grade schools about Native American culture and history.

All art pieces purchased through Philip Garaway come with a certificate that guarantees their authenticity. In addition, Mr. Garaway offers professional appraisal, restoration, curatorial, and private brokering services. We are always looking to purchase single objects or complete collections.
