Biography
Eulalia Crawford Emetaz was born August 29, 1902. She operated La Galeria Escondida Art Gallery from 1946-1960 in Taos, New Mexico. "La Galeria Escondida on Ledoux St. featured modernist art from the start, making it one of the first postwar galleries outside of New York to do so." Mrs. Emetaz died June 1967 in Taos. The collection was donated by Michael B. Pulman. He found the reels in an adobe barn at 895 E. Zia Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
