Jereis probably the dealer I look most forward to seeing at the few shows where he sets-up.He has an amazing eye,one of the very best.He buys what he likes,and puts together a booth of "high" modernismand "low" folk art.Somethingthat is not easy to do.He makes no distinctions, one is not any better than the other and that is what makes it great.Two of my favorite Jere Barnard purchases:High: A world-class Schindler plywood chair.Low: A soft-core pornographic photorealistic Tupperware cup carved with a sharpened paperclip by a prisoner.Both wereAMAZING,neither one any "better" than the other.(We DID pay just a BIT more for the Schindler....)
