(Young Collectors)Control Issues
The Young Collector
Pandemic lifestyle grates on a person. Of course, at this point in winter, everything grates on a person, and as the anniversary of a year in shutdown rolls around for many of us, it grates all the more.
Many aspects of this are, as the kids would often say ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)Spinning a Nostalgic Yarn
The Young Collector
We are doing it again—we’re guest co-curating an exhibition. What had started out as a small show about one Ohio folk artist has blossomed into a major loan exhibition scheduled for early in 2022 at the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio in Lancaster, Ohio. The folk artist in ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)To Price or Not to Price
The Young Collector
Even as you read this, doctors and nurses are administering vaccines. We can finally begin to believe that there is a life out there beyond the toilet-paper-hoarding fugue state that we have all been brumating in for nearly a year now. That life had stopped seeming like a ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)All We Have

(Issue Story)Collector’s Lens

(Young Collectors)Experience vs. Outcome
The Young Collector
As this isolated strangeness grinds on, more and more we realize that we do not miss many big things. What we miss are the little things—shaking hands, seeing smiles, giving hugs. You know, the good old days of being able to run errands without masks, sanitizer, wipes, and ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)Take a (Different) Seat
The Young Collector
We have a large window in the eat-in area of our kitchen that overlooks the driveway, which is surrounded by a head-high concrete retaining wall. A seat here offers a vantage point for watching the kids play and interact, and Hollie was doing just that this spring when ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)We Don’t Know
The Young Collector
Humans are really bad at not knowing exactly what to do. We are pretty sure that at the current moment none of you needs us to provide examples of this. To be fair, many of us do not like to be told what to do either, thus condemning ... (Read More)
