Working Wildfowl: Decoys, Carvings and the Waterfowl Tradition, an original and historically significant exhibit showcasing vintage and contemporary decoys, calls and photography, opens at The Audubon Center at Riverlands on October 11th and extends through December 30th. Free Admission to Center and exhibit.
This unique exhibit offers a rare glimpse into some of the region’s finest private decoy collections. View the works of such masters as Elmer Crowell [1862-1952], Charles Perdew, Bert Graves [1880-1956] and Robert Elliston [1847-1925]. See decoys of museum quality and meet their curators. These priceless collections took decades to compile; learn why and what to collect. See the work of modern living carver, Cameron McIntyre, already on the collectors’ radar. Make your best guess at record setting auction prices!
DECOYS ON SALE DURING EXHIBITION For the first time, decoys will be on sale during the VIP reception and throughout the exhibition. The decoy exhibitors will offer a select few decoys from their collections for sale. Start your own decoy collection! Cash and check only.
VENDOR’S MARKET: Saturday, November 8th | 10am-4pm 1pm: Informal Round Table will be held featuring local decoy collectors and interested visitors to the center. Discussions about starting and maintaining a decoy collection, and general information about carved ducks, shorebirds, calls and other sporting collectibles that we are inviting you to bring in and share with us, should help us all to learn more about our decoy obsession.
