ART & ANTIQUES

Art & Antiques

by Dr. Lori

By Lori Verderame

Dr. Lori’s Kid Collectors

At my public antiques appraisal events held at venues nationwide, many of my audience members are kids. Some of these kids remind me of my childhood. I was a kid who spent many a weekend touring local flea markets and yard sales with my Dad. My Dad liked to look for old tools and military objects and he taught me about them. But, the kids that come to my events collect all types of objects from fine art to movie memorabilia and more. Young people are very keen collectors. They know what’s hot, what’s not. They learn to become good negotiators and they know how to spot a bargain and how to use their technology skills to sell and trade online. I often feature kids and their collections on my antiques appraisal tour. They share their knowledge of a collectible category and talk about diverse collections ranging from Star Wars toys to vintage pottery. Here are a few of the kids that follow me and are at the core of my Kid Collectors programs. During the early years of my tour, I met Carly age 5, who came to my event in Lancaster, PA. She brought a medal that she found in her grandpa’s button jar to one of my events accompanied by her mother and older sister. What Carly had found was a Native American peace medal that Louis and Clark gave to the Indians during their expedition under the auspices of the Jefferson administration. My evaluation of her valuable piece of western history was the impetus for a childhood filled with the joy of collecting. Carly returned to my program years later to show me a Frederic Remington sculpture of a busting bronco that she bought at an auction which she added to her growing western art collection.

Asaya from Virginia Beach, VA bought an autographed poster of Pete Rose from a thrift store. He loves baseball and although the 6 year old was unfamiliar with the Cincinnati Reds slugger, Asaya liked the piece so much that it started him on his way as an autograph collector. He even asked for my autograph to add to his collection. I met Ethan, age 11, at my show in Baltimore, MD. He told me that he and his older brother collect “unusual objects” from flea markets and thrift stores. He explained, “If there is something that I have never seen before, I buy it and then search online to see if I can find something similar. It’s like solving a mystery.” I thought that was great for creative learning and as a fine collecting method. Ethan brought me a Medieval revival base metal relief sculpture of an equestrian from the 1870s worth $500. The architectural object was interesting and unusual. Emily, age 12, brought a painting by a well-known regional artist to my appraisal event in Tulsa, OK and we became fast friends. I asked Emily why she collected paintings and she commented quite intelligently and enthusiastically about the composition, brushwork, execution, and formalist properties of the painting like a true art historian. I was so impressed with her command of the field’s vocabulary and knowledge that I asked how long she was collecting and she said that she studies art in school and has been collecting for a few years. When she is not helping out around the farm, Emily adds to her growing art collection with some pretty valuable.

ART

Features at the

Appleton Museum of Art Norman Rockwell:

The Man Behind the Canvas Now through July 31, 2016

Norman Rockwell needs little introduction. The illustrator’s idealized versions of small towns, Middle America, and simple, happy times deﬁned for millions what’s best about America and deﬁned him as the true American Idealist. His work has shaped the way we see and think about the American experience. This exhibition is a rare and unusual opportunity to get a glimpse of the man who privately, humbly, with dry Yankee wit and much wisdom, showed us a better version of ourselves. It is not meant to be a survey course in Rockwell illustration. Through the camera lens of Louis Lamone, studio assistant, photographer and close friend of the artist, Norman Rockwell: The Man Behind the Canvas introduces America’s most beloved illustrator in a never-before-seen glimpse into his private life through anecdotal and personal memorabilia and over 100 black-and-white photographs from the Charles & Joy Flint Collection. Also featured are more than 100 Saturday Evening Post covers from 1936-1963. ��

DIGNITY:

Tribes in Transition Now through June 19, 2016 After boarding a plane for an impromptu trip to Haiti, then-commercial photographer Dana Gluckstein sparked a passion that would dominate her life: photographing the indigenous peoples who comprise six percent of the world’s population. She has traveled the world, often at her own expense, to record the lives of the Goba in Zambia, the Maasai in Kenya, the Quechua in Peru, and peoples in Bhutan, Botswana, Bali and Mexico, as well as native Hawaiians, members of the Navajo tribe in Arizona and the Campbell River Indian Band in Canada.

��

Boston University writer John O’Rourke said, “When she came upon a Haitian woman smoking a pipe, Gluckstein was instantly drawn to her, but nearly talked herself out of taking the photo. ‘It was very late, almost nighttime, hardly any light, and my intellect was chattering away saying, this is going to be a terrible image, you’re never going to get it, it’s not going to be sharp,’ she said. ‘But something in me was so moved by her presence that I did it.’” DIGNITY: Tribes in Transition captures the ﬂeeting period of world history where traditional and contemporary cultures collide. The 60 black and white portraits of Indigenous Peoples span three decades and pay homage to these imperiled cultures. Whether photographing a Haitian healer or a San Bushmen chief, Gluckstein infuses each portrait with an essential human grace.

��

Gluckstein distills the universality of experience that links us all yet never sacriﬁces the dignity of the individual. “The ancient ones tell us where we have come from and where we must go as a world community. Humanity’s survival depends on how carefully we listen,” states the artist. Many of the cultures represented in this exhibition — African, South American and Asian — are also represented in the museum’s permanent collection. ��

ART

Stickwork “Fancy Free” From February 1-19, internationally renowned artist Patrick Dougherty was in residence at the Appleton Museum of Art to build one of his unique, signature sculptures on the museum grounds. After several weeks of hard work alongside a team of volunteers, Patrick constructed a large-scale, dynamic work of art that will be part of the Sculpture Walk and Garden for several years, before it naturally decomposes. Titled Fancy Free, the artist was inspired to create a sculpture with a jogging, casual footprint that works in juxtaposition to the angular, linear quality of the Appleton’s building, windows and reﬂecting pool. He also drew inspiration from Marion County’s status as “Horse Capital of the World,” creating his series of huts to resemble the natural, easy gait of a horse, with the hut closest to the museum boasting a wild mane. Volunteers came from near and far to help Patrick, including the Lowell Correctional Institution and College of Central Florida, as well as many familiar faces from around the community. While Patrick was in Ocala, he also served as the ofﬁcial juror for the 2016 Ocala Outdoor Sculpture Competition, picking the top sculptures of the 10 that were selected to be on view in Tuscawilla Park for a 20month installation. Fancy Free will remain a part of the Appleton’s outdoor Sculpture Walk and Garden for approximately two years before it naturally decomposes. The Sculpture Walk and Garden can be visited any time, free of charge. ��
