Blending History
Welcome to the March/april issue of American Fine Art Magazine! We are happy to introduce our Collector’s Guide to Decorative Arts & Antiques.we follow the interests of collectors of historic American art and, in addition to traditional portraiture, still lifes, landscapes and sculpture, more and more collectors are now adding decorative art, antiques and period furniture to complement and elevate their collections.
Starting on Page 35 you will find a Market Report by the head of Americana at Christie’s, insights from the curator of decorative arts at the Yale University Art Gallery and exhibition previews, as well as a Dealer Spotlight on Roberto Freitas American Antiques & Decorative Arts, which specializes in fine art and objects from the 18th and 19th centuries. Freitas is a staple at the country’s fine art and antique shows.you can also contact his gallery directly to learn about the exciting pieces in his inventory and for guidance on how to curate your collection.
This issue is full of new opportunities and fresh-to-market pieces for collectors.this month, we are proud to be a sponsor of the Philadelphia Show, one of the preeminent fine art and antique shows in the country. I attended in 2023 and it is rich with historic art, furniture and so much more. Its backdrop is the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a palpable sense of American history resonates throughout the show.
In our opinion, attending a historic art show can mean the difference between struggling to find a collection piece on your own and building a partnership with galleries and dealers at the show to help make your collecting desires a reality.these experts are there to guide you on your collecting journey. Inside American Fine Art Magazine you will also find the best experts to connect you with and educate you about the art you are seeking.
