Folk Art encompasses a lot of territory. Paintings, objects, textiles and every other media find their places in the world of Folk Art.
As a rule, modern Folk Art interpretations are not meant to be fraudulent. In fact, most currently made objects are made in homage to past ones. However, the lack of facts or removal of identification causes problems for collectors and appraisers.
Are you aware of the interpretations that are out there in the marketplace? Would you know an antique folk art object from a 20th century revival piece? If not, your due diligence becomes a significant issue for recognizing and appraising this property. It does not matter if you are a generalist, fine art or decorative arts appraiser, this seminar will allow you to see just how closely some artisans interpret antique objects. You will be shown examples of antiques against an early 20th century revival and more recent examples. You will gain an understanding of the interpreter’s work through Susan’s interviews with artisans currently making these objects.
