Santa Fe, NM Ethnographic Show 2008
HMN - 09/01/2008
We had a fantastic time in Santa Fe this year exhibiting at Barry Cohen's Ethnographic Show. Some of our colleges from New York City were there. I had some laughs and talked shop with David Bernstein, Bob & Maryanne Huber, and Howard Rose and Charles Moore or Arte primitivo.
The reason it is such a good time is because the town is lovely, the food is great, and not only can I sell pre Columbian and Tribal Art; but I also have the opportunity to buy it as well!!!
This double edge sword is the key to a dealers happiness at the shows and it was mine in Santa fe August 2008.
Some quick snaps to follow of our booth.
