For the new or seasoned collector, this groundbreaking guide reveals how to evaluate contemporary American folk art as well as where to see, buy it, and what to spend on it. With the rising popularity of contemporary folk art, collectors have been asking, Who are the artists? Where are they located? Where can I see their art? How can I buy their work? And how much does it cost? This wonderfully illustrated guidebook offers answers to these questions and much more. The authors, passionate collectors of contemporary American folk art for more than two decades, have traveled widely throughout rural and urban America, searching out artists, collecting extraordinary pictures, sculptures, and objects, and gathering information. Their highly informative text, organized by region, features 181 biographies of both new and established artists and includes tips about how to evaluate the art. The book is illustrated with color photos of more than 155 works as well as forty-four black-and-white pictures of the artists. Of special value are the extensive listings of galleries and museums where the best folk art being created today may be viewed. Supplementing the text are essays by Lee Kogan of the Museum of American Folk Art and by Nancy Druckman of Sotheby's. Regional maps, a bibliography, and a price guide round out this indispensable reference book. Chuck and Jan Rosenak are the authors of The Museum of American Folk Art Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century Folk Art and Artists and The People Speak: Navajo Folk Art. Their collection is displayed in their house and museum/annex in New Mexico. 211 illustrations No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
