Author Description

Organized for the Katonah Museum of Art, this exhibition presented over 80 objects from the permanent collection of the famed Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum. On exhibit were 19th-century primitives (Ammi Phillips, Edward Hicks), watercolors of fruit baskets and flowers, landscapes, household utensils, needlework, face jugs, toys, whirligigs, weathervanes, carvings, and more. Barbara Luck, Guest Curator, has written an intelligent and thoughtful essay entitled “Folk Art in the Garden of Good and Evil.”
