What makes a decoy “collectible”? Buying and selling carved and painted wooden waterfowl—once used simply as tools for hunting—has evolved from interest and admiration for folk art to an investment in objects of worth. Deconstructing Decoys will explore varying perspectives about decoys as art and help guests understand how collectors “read” a decoy to determine its maker, history, and significance.
Members of both CBMM and the East Coast Decoy Collectors Association are invited to the private exhibition preview reception. Light refreshments will be served. Special thanks to opening night sponsors Gourmet by the Bay, Guyette & Deeter, and Judy & Henry Stansbury.
