Decorative arts of New York. (Current and Coming).
Some thirty years ago John Scherer, a curator at the New York State Museum in Albany, met a visionary collector and philanthropist, E. Martin Wunsch, who at the time was interested in finding an institution with collections that focused on New York State. Soon the two men agreed that it would be wonderful for New Yorkers if the Albany museum could form a collection of decorative arts with a history of manufacture or ownership in the state. They decided to focus on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century objects that over the past two centuries would have been found in the houses not just of the wealthy hut also those lived in by people of average means in both urban and rural locales, They placed a priority on pieces with labels, stamps, or any other type of mark indicating the maker or owner. With the financial aid of the Wunsch Americana Foundation and the Wunsch Foundation, the collector and the museum were off and running on three decades of a challenging, and frequency rewarding, treasure hunt.
