Reminiscences: A Half-Century Among Carved Birds and Their Collectors
April 11 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Over the course of her long career, Gigi Hopkins has seen enormous changes in the world of decoys and miniatures: who collects them, how they are sold, and how they are understood by the art market and by museums and scholars. Working for many of the most discriminating collectors, she was in the midst of it all. Amy will interview Gigi about some of her most memorable experiences.
Gwladys (Gigi) Hopkins is the author of Massachusetts Masterpieces: The Decoy as Art. She has been a conservator of decoys and carousel figures for more than fifty years, and has been a guest curator for several exhibitions at the Museum of American Bird Art. Amy Montague is the Director of the Museum of American Bird Art.
