Erotic Folk Art Carved Figural Pipe collection Jim Linderman
For decades, the Erlich Pipe Company in Boston was one of the longest surviving pipe shops in the country, and in the window of their store on Tremont Street, they often had a master carver at work. There were actually two locations for a time, and each window had a resident carver. George Bushee carved on Tremont, Gustave Fischer carved at 33 Court Street. I am guessing this was done by one or the other.

| Abraham Lincoln anonymous circa 1940 Collection John and Teenah Foster |
John Foster taught in the Fine Arts Department at Burroughs for 11 years (1976 - 1987). It was then that he and his wife began what was to become an extraordinary art collection, now recognized nationally for its depth and focus. Beginning first with American folk art, the collection evolved over the years to include art by those people marginalized in society, self-taught people who found a singular vision. In 2005, Art & Antiques Magazine named John Foster one of the “Top 100 Collectors” in the United States. The exhibition at Burroughs includes drawings, paintings, and sculpture as well as a portion of their vernacular photography collection which has been exhibited at nearly a dozen museums across the country.

Nude Woman with Rhinestone Pasties carved from a Peach Pit Erotic Folk Art
Yes folks, step right up! A Nude Woman with Rhinestone Pasties carved from a Peach Pit! Even Abe Lincoln seems amazed, and he should be. This little (nay, microscopic) miracle of precision carving and a fevered brow comes to us from the astounding shop of the amazing and curious CURLEY'S DEN of ANTIQUES.

Balsa Bighouse ! Cardboard Clink! Handmade Prison Model Folk Art Greybar Hotel
Handmade Folk Art Prison Model. A patient and talented prisoner who lives up the river likely made this model of his home, but I have always had a problem with "prison art" when it involves a knife. Isn't that the first thing they TAKE from prisoners? Still, prison art is a legitimate collecting category, and I don't mean those ghouls who like to collect horrible clown paintings from Gacy or the handmade spiders Charlie Manson has been selling of late. Plenty of confined artists do good work...even if only marking the wall daily.
