 Greetings from
George Palmer, Vice-Chair
I was asked to contribute something to the newsletter this month.
My own particular interest in early Texas art (ETA) is primarily
focused on discovering, collecting and then enjoying this artwork on
the walls of my home. I'm probably like many of you in that while we
also enjoy the history and background of these early Texas artists, we
are involved with CASETA and maybe a collector's organization like TACO
(Texas Art Collectors Organization) mainly because we enjoy collecting
the wide variety of interesting ETA that is out there.
The good news is that as collectors the information that has
become available on these early Texas artists has increased
"exponentially" over the past few years. As the interest in this
artwork has increased steadily over the years so have the number books,
articles and most importantly, exhibitions. This has been a boon to
those of us that crave getting to see as much of this artwork as we
can. About a dozen years ago when TACO was first originated here in
Dallas, it's primary benefit was to offer the opportunity for
collectors to view as many examples of ETA as possible. We all came to
realize that the saying "the more you see, the more you learn" was
especially true when it came to ETA. This was mainly accomplished by
the meetings that were held in each others homes where we were able to
see examples of ETA that normally would not be available to be seen.
This still holds true even today. So, even though the opportunities to
view great examples of ETA have increased significantly over the past
few years through museum exhibitions, there still is a great benefit to
be had by joining one of the local collectors organizations that have
formed around the state, as well as CASETA. There is also the additional benefit of the
friendships you make with the people you get to meet at events like the CASETA Symposium or TACO meetings.
For those that are interested, please log on to the new MEMBERS ONLY section of our website to view my "12 Tips For Assembling A Significant Collection Of Early Texas Art" assembled from my experience in collecting ETA over the past fourteen years.
Sincerely,
George Palmer
Vice-Chair, CASETA Board of Directors
