Ever buy something you didn't necessarily want, until you found out it's tiki? - Collecting Tiki

Posted posted on Tue, Apr 1, 2008 4:15 PM The whole focus of my relatively newfound interest is in collecting examples of tiki modernism, or mid century primitivism. I've read here about the concept of "good bad" and "bad bad" as it relates to these objects. I'm still developing my aesthetic sense in this area, so I do need to rely on more educated eyes than my own--when in this case--these objects fall somewhere in the gray area for me. The fact that these decanters were influential on other forms to follow does enhance my appreciation of them, so thanks for providing that context. From now on, it's "when in doubt, buy first and ask questions later".
