Jim Linderman blog about surface, wear, form and authenticity in self-taught art, outsider art, antique american folk art, antiques and photography. Dull tool and dim bulb were the only swear words my father ever used. Items from the Jim Linderman collection of vernacular photography, folk art, ephemera and curiosities. (Note: if anyone believes an image contained violates their rights or insults their intelligence, simply point it out and I will remove)
African-American Folk Art Sculpture Yard Art collection Jim Linderman
The preservation, provenance and acquisition of this outdoor African-American folk art sculpture in concrete has an interesting story. I saw the piece in situ, along with other garden sculptures by the same hand, some 30 years ago. I was too tired to stop, but noted the location for a subsequent trip. I went back two weeks later and the entire environment was gone. Several weeks ago, it turned up again being offered by a New York dealer. It turns out the pair had been, at some time, added to the collection of a prominent New Jersey collector, sold at auction and then finally sold to me. Full circle. I'll give them a good home for some time. Great things thought lost often come around again.
