Diary of Ownership

 
  Since taking ownership of a part of Maggie's African Art Collection I feel a responsibility to keep a diary of my relationship with this collection. The first thing I did was purchase more African art on ebay. I found a great dealer Mike Lee out of Nashville. The following is our email correspondence.

I am glad that you like everything and they arrived safely. It is always a challenge to find the right size box. I have never seen another sistrum like that. You have a very good mask collection.

Hi Mike,

Just got back from Las Vegas and my front door was surrounded by your packages.  Thank you very much for taking such good care of the items during transit.  I think they are all wonderful.  I love the sistrum.  The book is awesome.  The stick figure is unbelievable.  Giocometti look out.  The post office is holding the mask.

I have my own collection of African art but it has been in the $100 range although I think I have some great pieces.  In fact, Maggie didn't display her masks to full advantage.  She had on one wall all of her African masks plus cheap Japanese knock offs of Indonesian masks, an authentic Balinese mask and 2 Balinese puppets.  They look good by themselves and separate from the African art.  I think she also had an African mask more along the lines of my masks so I've set it aside also.  Pruning and reevaluating the collection helps.

Yours,

Rick

 I cannot imagine what she was able to buy back then and the potential value of some of the pieces now. Again thanks for your business

 Hi Mike,

 I see that the mask is at the processing center but since the post office is closed tomorrow I'm not expecting anything tomorrow.  Thanks for offering for auction all of those wonderful art objects.  A dear friend of mine recently went into an assisted living home and sold me her African collection.  She bought some of them at the Segy
 Gallery in New York in the 50s.  A few of the pieces I didn't get I wanted to find substitutes for and your ebay site really fit the bill.  So thanks again,

 Rick
