African-American Folk Art Sculpture Yard Art collection Jim Linderman





The preservation, provenance and acquisition of this outdoor African-American folk art sculpture in concrete has an interesting story.  I saw the piece in situ, along with other garden sculptures by the same hand, some 30 years ago.  I was too tired to stop, but noted the location for a subsequent trip.  I went back two weeks later and the entire environment was gone.  Several weeks ago, it turned up again being offered by a New York dealer.  It turns out the pair had been, at some time, added to the collection of a prominent New Jersey collector, sold at auction and then finally sold to me.  Full circle.  I'll give them a good home for some time.  Great things thought lost often come around again.
