Philip Garaway (Part Two): Native Arts Dealer - Epi. 197, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Philip Garaway on the podcast today. I knew it would be a
very interesting podcast and I also knew it would also go very
long (which it did). It was over two hours so we're going to
break this into two episodes.

Part 2 of the Philip Garaway interview is about his
transformation into a leader in the field of Native American art.
He started selling items in 1975 as a 23-year-old and even had a
show at the gift shop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York. Philip goes on to discuss the gallery that he owned in Los
Angeles, as well as his well-known friends and clients such as
artists Tony Berlant and Billy Schenck, senator and silversmith
Ben Nighthorse, and comedian George Carlin.

I've known Philip for over 30 years. In fact, he was one of the
first people I bought pottery from when I was still in the
military in Los Angeles in 1988. So a very long history of who
the players were in the Native American art field and how he was
involved in forming it into what it is today. It's quite
fascinating. Philip Garaway part two.
