Charles Loloma's deep bond with wood manifests throughout his oeuvre as well as in the personal collection he maintained at his home and studio with his wife, Georgia. He collected the work of wood turning pioneers such as Edward Moulthrop and Bob Stocksdale, he used it in jewelry and household objects, and he kept very special pieces in his studio. When the Lolomas' personal collection first came to Santa Fe Art Auction in January of 2021, a classically abstracted, well-patinaed small katsina was immediately striking as among the most significant, made and kept by Charles, and then Georgia. A fleck of shell, a particle of turquoise, a small hole in two warm, dark pieces of wood created a clear and powerful object barely 3 inches high. One of the most valued experts consulted to assist with identifying and assessing the vast Loloma collection of katsinam was also an old friend of Charles, Mark Bahti, whose father Tom before him had long carried Charles work in his gallery. Mark took one admiring look at this katsina and then thought he recognized it from a drawing Charles had made in the 1960s, which was later acquired by Mark. He soon brought the drawing in and sure enough, it was unquestionably the same katsina. Moreover, we recognized the bowl that was also in the drawing, long thought to be a ceramic pot. Instead, it was immediately recognizable by the details as a turned wood bowl by Bob Stocksdale in the Loloma Estate. Bringing the three items back together after 50 years was one of those moments in the art world when the earth seems to pause in its turning for just one beat. The last person who saw or knew of the relationship between the three objects was Charles himself. It is our very great privilege to have reunited the subjects of the drawing in this unique offering.
