Husband and wife folk artists Walter Gottshall (1921-2018) and June Gottshall (1920-2021) lived in a log house outside of Reinholds, Pa. Walter was a woodcarver, and June painted the carvings. Beginning in the early 1970s, the couple had a decades-long career and did many regional folk art shows. They were supporters of the Reinholds Trinity Chapel craft show and also longtime exhibitors at the annual Kutztown Folk Festival. Their folk carvings have a healthy market today with collectors and is often signed “WJG.” Pennsylvania German folk art ran in the family. Walter’s aunt was antiques dealer and folk painter Hattie Klapp Brunner (18901982). Brunner marketed and sold Gottshall’s work in her shop (The Tulip Shop) in the 1970s. Walter’s parents were Luke (1899-1993) and Fannie (1891-1976) Gottshall of Reinholds. Fannie and Hattie were sisters. Luke was known for his folk art wagons, bird carvings, and fabric collages. Some of the work was a collaborative effort

An Exploration Of Himalayan Buddhist Devotional Art Throughout History
New Exhibition At The Met Now Open
This fall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art presents “Mandalas: Mapping the Buddhist Art of Tibet,” an exploration of the diverse imagery of Himalayan Buddhist devotional art. Opened Sept. 19, the exhibition includes more than 100 paintings, sculptures, textiles, costumes, weapons, instruments, and an array of ritual objects dating mainly from the 11th to the 15th century. The early masterworks in the presentation will be juxtaposed with a contemporary installation by Tibetan artist Tenzing Rigdol that has been commissioned by the Met specifically for this exhibition and inhabits the atrium of the museum’s Robert Lehman Wing. The exhibition is made possible by the Placido Arango Fund and Lilly Endowment
Inc. Additional support is provided by the Florence and Herbert Irving Fund for Asian Art Exhibitions and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. “This exhibition takes visitors on an unprecedented exploration of sublime historical Himalayan Buddhist devotional art, deepening understandings and appreciation of how and why these works were made,” said Max Hollein, the Met’s Marina Kellen French director and chief executive officer. “And at the center of the galleries, Tenzing Rigdol’s powerfully immersive and compellingly relevant mandalic installation draws on the foundation of the rich historical material to create a space for inspired contemplation.” “Mandalas: Mapping the Buddhist Art of Tibet” will
illuminate the thematic components of Tibetan mandalas, intricately designed diagrams developed to support Vajrayana Buddhist practice, and introduce how specific iconography helped individuals on the path to enlightenment. Each gallery addresses a significant aspect of Tibetan artistic production: teachers who interpreted esoteric texts and established monastic lineages; bodhisattvas who help the devout on their spiritual path; protectors that rid the world of evil and protect the Buddhist teachings; and tantric deities as evocations of enlightenment. The final gallery will contain a seminal group of mandalas, complex diagrams that integrate deities and iconography seen in the other galleries. As conceived within Tibetan
Buddhism, ultimately it is the mandala and the associated tantric ritual that has the potential to offer access to true reality. At the center of the exhibition, Tenzing Rigdol’s contemporary mandala will depict some of the concerns of today’s world, addressing issues related to climate change and the social responsibilities of the individual. “I’m trying to explore the quintessential tantric idea of universality and oneness and how intricately interconnected we all are,” said contemporary Tibetan artist Tenzing Rigdol. “It is said that when the Buddha reached enlightenment, he looked at a leaf and on that leaf he saw stars, he saw rain, he saw soil, he saw air, and, in essence, he saw interdependency.”

Collector Chats With Peter S. Seibert
This Week: When The Walls Get Too Full
By Peter Seibert
Like many collectors, I enjoy paintings, drawings and prints hanging in my home. Some are old, and others are very new. Each reflects an interest of mine at a given point in time. A few of the paintings have been with me for decades. All that being said, I prefer to hang my works salon style with layers of paintings on the walls. I am not fan of the silly contemporary look of a massive white wall with one picture framed in an oversize frame. As a
committed maximalist, I do not want to see bare walls in any way shape or form!
Okay, so this morning I got notice of an auction of frame prints. The sale is coming up in a few weeks, and there are probably two dozen lots that I would love to have. But here is the problem: I have two boxes of images that I cannot fit on the wall right now. Yes, I could rotate them, but size is always a challenge when rotating artworks. So, do I go and bid on the items realizing they may live in a closet or do I pass on them?
Collectors always are making choices about the size and scope of what they collect. A budding collector of military medals may be able to keep the collection in a drawer in the house; however, an automobile collector needs vast amounts of garage space. No way around that one. This is part and parcel of being a collector, figuring out how to store and show off your collection. Sometimes it’s easy, but often it is a complex question unless one has unlimited indoor space.
For those of us who like to hang a lot of artwork on the walls, I do think there are several options to consider in how we build a visual art collection. Beyond getting a second house, I would suggest the following:
-Use the hallways, stairwells and bathrooms (without a shower) for your collection.
-Keep the fragile items out of direct sunlight, which means watercolors need to be in the halls, stairwells and shower-less bathrooms.
-Rotate things if you can. In particular, photographs do need to be moved in and out.
-Finally, my biggest suggestion is to collect miniatures. Okay, that sounds ridiculous, but three small to medium size paintings can often fit where one large one hung on the wall. Those smaller paintings that take up less room, giving you more space for other items.
When all of this fails, you have the predicament I am in right now. What am I going to do with the upcoming auction? Well, I am going to sit and sweat and swear and
probably in the end not bid on anything. I know, I know, many would say to purchase one item and call it a day. When you have 20 items to pick that one from, it becomes darned near impossible. Better to let it all go than to go nuts trying to select just one.
“Born to collect” should be the motto of Peter Seibert’s family. Raised in Central Pennsylvania, Seibert has been collecting and writing about antiques for more than three decades. By day, he is a museum director and has worked in Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Virginia and New Mexico. In addition, he advises and consults with auction houses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly about American furniture and decorative arts.
Seibert’s writings include books on photography, American fraternal societies and paintings. He and his family are restoring a 1905 arts and crafts house filled with years’ worth of antique treasures found in shops, co-ops and at auctions.

Watching my kids have such a great time this year makes it even more special, showcasing the vibrant spirit that makes Doylestown feel like home to us and so many others,” stated Melissa Palermo, local resident. Attendees were greeted with streets lined with an enormous range of art that included large sculptures, otherworldly prints, yardstick creations, and even paintings created entirely from thousands of dots. Meanwhile, five stages positioned across the festival welcomed over 30 sets of live performances from hometown and regional bands. Activities popped up left and right, ranging from silk scarf painting and sand art to painting and throwing pottery. The Doylestown Arts Festival remains one of the largest free-to-attend arts festivals in the region and is cherished by both its attendees and vendors. The Bucks County Classic joined the festival on Sunday for their 20th anniversary, adding the excitement of high-speed bike races around the borders of the event. The combination of these events is a unique representation of the local area, which has equally passionate art and cycling communities. “We spent many years attending art festivals around our area as patrons and

the event ran smoothly. The Doylestown Arts Festival supported over 160 independent artists, 30 musicians, multiple local destinations and nonprofit organizations, and a wide variety of small businesses. By the close of the festival on Sunday, a significant number of vendors and surrounding restaurants were nearly sold out. Beyond the economic impact of the weekend event and crowds, organizers partner with local businesses throughout the year in the planning and production of the annual festival. The revenue generated the the festival itself is all channeled back into the community through Discover Doylestown’s events and beautification efforts. Planning is already underway for next year’s festival. Bucks County’s biggest weekend will return in 2025.
Experience Art In The Outdoors Like Never Before At “Chihuly In The Botanic Garden”
Epic Sculptures By The World’s Master Of Contemporary Glass Will Be On View
Witnessing the changing colorway that magically follows spring into autumn will never be more memorable than when Adelaide Botanic Garden hosts “Chihuly in the Botanic Garden” (running Sept. 27 to April 29, 2025). It is the first major outdoor exhibition in Australia of works by the world’s most celebrated contemporary glass artist, Dale Chihuly.
A once-in-a-lifetime event that will surprise and delight with every visit, “Chihuly in the Botanic Garden” is part of the artist’s world-renowned series of nature-inspired exhibitions. To date, Chihuly’s botanic gardens installations have been seen in the USA, London and Singapore. In this Adelaide exclusive, daytime visitors to our botanic garden will be able to see the exhibition free of charge.
“I have sought an opportunity to return to Adelaide since 2000 when I first presented work at JamFactory,” said Chihuly. “Adelaide Botanic Garden offers so many rich colors and textures, the ideal environment for the placement of my work, and I look forward to sharing
this new exhibition with the Adelaide and South Australian community.”
This enthralling collection of 15 large-scale handblown glass art sculptures and installations, suspended within lush garden beds, rising from waterways, and entwined within trees along a mile-long garden trail, features some of Chihuly’s most iconic work and also premieres brand-new artwork, created for Adelaide.
Accompanying the free garden trail are ticketed opportunities to experience these delicate yet epically proportioned installations in a dynamic after-dark setting with “Chihuly Nights,” and to take a deeper dive into this remarkable artist’s world with “In Full Color: Dale Chihuly.”
A curated showcase of more intimate groupings, “In Full Color: Dale Chihuly” sees the artist’s works sprout and rise from within the tropical rainforest setting of the Bicentennial Conservatory. The immersive exhibition incorporates an exploration of Chihuly’s artistic process and fascinating insights into the creation of these unique, playful and audacious works seen around the world.
Night events in Adelaide Botanic Garden have become part of the city’s unique
cultural scene, and “Chihuly Nights” are an unmissable all-access pass to the complete Chihuly experience. It is a chance to witness the artist’s playful creations transform in color and form under a setting sun and be reimagined under dramatic nocturnal lighting.
“Chihuly in the Botanic Garden’ encapsulates the world-class caliber and widely accessible nature of South Australia’s premier major events calendar, particularly its rich cultural component,” explained South Australian Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison.
“The first major outdoor showcase of Chihuly’s work in Australia and the wider southern hemisphere, “Chihuly in the Botanic Garden” gives visitors of all ages, from near and far, a choice of free of charge and also ticketed opportunities to experience a treasured natural attraction in an entirely new way. What’s more, its lifespan across spring, summer, and autumn, alongside some of our longest-running tourism drawcards in the Adelaide Fringe and Adelaide Festival, lends itself to multiple visits to explore these truly extraordinary sculptures against the changing colors of each season.”
“We are thrilled that Dale
Chihuly and his team have selected Adelaide for their next major botanic garden exhibition. The opening of this project this spring will be a very special time for all of us here. “As the days grow warmer and longer, Chihuly in the Botanic Garden’ will become a national drawcard to bring people to Adelaide.
The exquisite forms and kaleidoscopic colors of Chihuly’s artworks are often described as celebrations of what is found in nature and so there is no more fitting setting to showcase his masterpieces than within the beautiful Adelaide Botanic Garden,” said Botanic Gardens

Thomas Chimes and Roger Anliker, known for their adaptation of the Surrealists’ visual strategies and approaches.
“My work of the last decade has grown from collaborative conversations about the multiple meanings that artworks have,” states Robert Cozzolino. “As I dug into Woodmere’s collection, I kept finding works of art that depicted the tangible world clearly, but also bore the speculation of something present but not visible. It made me curious to learn how various cultures and artistic communities might interpret these complex narratives.”
“Strange Narratives/ Resilient Bodies” puts a thoughtful scope on how artistic expression often resonates with contemporary life’s profound emotional and existential weight. Dr. Cozzolino’s commitment to collaborative
curation, enriched through working with Indigenous colleagues in Minnesota, ensures a nuanced presentation of these thought-provoking works. In the accompanying catalogue, Cozzolino furthers his dedication to finding new ways for museums to scrutinize existing collections through a different cultural lens. The “Strange Narratives/Resilient Bodies” catalogue welcomes varied voices through the in-depth conversation with Robert Cozzolino, independent curator; Chief Adam DePaul, tribal storykeeper and director of education of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania; Clan Mother Shelley DePaul, keeper of language and treaty signer liaison of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania; Jill Ahlberg Yohe, Native art curator and consultant; and William Valerio, Woodmere’s Patricia Van Burgh Allison Director and CEO.
