Background: we collect good quality collectible art from any place we (or our unfortunate kids) travel… Not very expensive but not trinkety touristy stuff. Think Muranos from Italy, nice hand painted oil paintings from Paris, folk art from Puerto Rico… You’re talking about people who lugged a 3 ft totem pole (with matching price) from Alaska :).
Our older daughter will be spending a week in NYC next March for school. If you had a budget of $500-600, and wanted to buy a couple of pieces that stand out as classic NYC, what would you buy and where?
