Over the past six decades, Richard (Dick) Johnson has collected, both as an essential part of his duties as a museum curator at The Sports Museum and as an expression of his passion to search for additions to an eclectic personal collection he started in grade school. In due course, he has assembled one of the best libraries of sports publications in America while also seeking out affordable pieces of original art by artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas, Nast, Andre Gill, and John Held, Jr., among others. This presentation will focus on the means by which to collect in a multi-dimensional, ever-changing marketplace and, most importantly, the thrill of the hunt.
The ABAA Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair (BIABF) celebrates its 46th year November 8-10, 2024, at the Hynes Convention Center in Downtown Boston. This three-day event welcomes the top international dealers offering the most sought-after collections of fine and rare books, maps, illustrations, and ephemera on the global market.
