Tribal Art - More on the question of authenticity
The Tribal Beat reports on the San Francisco Tribal & Textile Show recently held at Fort Mason.
His take on the state of the market is interesting. Realistic, if a little depressing. But I am convinced that the market for tribal art will come blazing back.
He also writes about the motives of "experts" called in to vet objects proposed for inclusion in the show. It partially agrees with my feelings about asking other dealers for opinions. I continue to feel it is a good precaution. Yet, as the Tribal Beat suggests. Everything is not fair and always in the buyer's (or the business's) best interest.

San Francisco Tribal Art Show Review
A recent blog from Tribalmania reviewed the recent San Francisco Tribal & Textile Arts show in the San Francisco area.
The review was generally positive with reports of substantial sales by many dealer/exhibitors. Specifically mentioned were Joel Cooner, Vicki Shiba, Michael Hamson, Michael Evans and Tribalmania Gallery.
Not all was "upbeat' about the show, however. The reviewer speculated that sales were off by 10% to 20%, which was attributed in small part to US economic conditions and to greater degree to the weakness of the US dollar vis a vis the Euro, the currency of European dealers who are frequently sellers.
