WELCOME
TO LAS MANOS MÁGICAS!
In Houston, Texas since 1971, we have
assembled an eclectic array of fine folk art, handcrafted jewelry,
outsider and self-taught art, and comtemporary art. We hunt
down exceptionally well-designed and executed objects
Our area of expertise is Mexican folk art and such pieces comprise
about 60% of our total inventory. Ours is one of the finest
collections of work by Mexican artists to be found anywhere
in the United States. We work with recognized artisans from
all over Mexico and have developed personal relationships; thus
we are able to choose amongst their best pieces. We are also
constantly on the lookout for outstanding young artists who
will be the maestros of the next generation.
We also sell offer ethnic art from
other parts of the world, including fine textiles, and beautiful creations from
India, Russia, Peru, China, and Indonesia.
In addition, Las Manos Mágicas
represents several regional and local artists, including self-taught
and outsider artists as well as those with scholarly training.
They are remarkably creative, exhibit high mastery of their
media, and their work fits well alongside ethnic folk art. This
group marches to a slightly different drummer than the rest
of the contemporary art world.
For your personal adornment, we carry an outstanding selection
of finely handcrafted jewelry by gifted international artists.
And we exclusively offer the chic beaded necklaces of gallery
owner Madeleine Crozat-Williams.
Please note that
we are proud to practice fair trade and pay our artists fair prices for their
work. When you purchase a work of art from us, you are not only bringing home
a piece of beauty but you are also contributing to the survival of artists and
art forms throughout the world.
We
will be happy to provide you with further information about our merchandise.
We all thank you for your patronage! ENJOY!!
