Free and Fabulous…The American Folk Art Museum!

Before meeting my darling husband Will, I’m not sure I could have given you a good definition of Folk Art.  Is it art hand-carved from wood?  Is it old trade signs?  Weathervanes?  Cigar Store Indians?  Yes to all…but Folk Art is so much more, and if you are curious about this fascinating art form, you should make plans to visit the American Folk Art Museum in NYC!

The “Chief” of Cigar Store Indians: A Conversation with Allan Katz

In 2013, my husband and I made a trip to NYC, to specifically experience several antique shows taking place in mid-January.  Following for many years the ads that appear in various art and antique magazines, this trip was really a bucket-list item for Will, a Folk Art collector.  His greatest hope was to meet the legendary Folk Art Dealer, Allan Katz.
