Welcome to FolkArtMuseum.com! FolkArtMuseum.com is a highly categorized in-depth informational resource for all terms related to Folk Art Museum. About us.


Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic.

As a phenomenon that can chronicle a move towards civilization yet rapidly diminish with modernity, industrialization, or outside influence, the nature of folk art is specific to its particular culture. The varied geographical and temporal prevalence and diversity of folk art make it difficult to describe as a whole, though some patterns have been demonstrated.

Antique folk art

Logo of the Folk Art Museum Lok Virsa in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Antique folk art is distinguished from traditional art in that while it is collected today based mostly on its artistic merit; it was never intended as a category to be art for art’s sake. Examples include: weathervanes, old store signs and carved figures, itinerant portraits, carousel horses, fire buckets, painted game boards, cast iron doorstops and many other similar lines of highly collectible "whimsical" antiques.

Cincinnati or Louisville, and why?
Q. I have a job offer in Louisville and another in Cincinnati. I'd be moving from central Kentucky. Here's my analyses, please chime in with which city you like best. cincinnati: I lived in Campbell Co., KY for 5 weeks on business in 2003. While this was just a "trial" period rather than prolonged residency, i really liked what I saw of the Cincy/NKY region. I made more friends in the region in just five weeks than I have here in central KY in 16 years! Cincy has a plethora of arts, cultural, and nightlife to partake. I've always heard about how horrible and rude Buckeyes are; I haven't seen most of Ohio, but I thought the folks in this region were pretty nice. The thing? I thought most of Cincy proper was rather run-down and dirty… [cont.]

I have a piece of art and want to know what it's worth.?
Q. I have a painting with the initials A.or D. Kaufmann or Kauffman. I've gone on the internet and to some art sites and saw one with a signature that looked the the signature on mine. It sold at auction for $3,000. The image is of a empty boat on the water and is quite pretty and very well done. My question is, what's my next step? Do I take it to an art auction place? or do I take it to a museum? Or do I take it to an art appraiser? I'd like to sell it. How do I know the folks I let look at it won't just steal it?
Asked by Yam King 7 - Tue Aug 4 13:58:01 2009 - Painting - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Take it to an appraiser.
