Professor Fairey’s collection of over 450 pieces of Mexican Folk Art, including textiles, baskets and ceramics were primarily sourced over approximately 30 years while on plant hunting expeditions in the interior of Mexico. The majority of the work is from Oaxaca and from families of artists and artisans. There are many works by unknown artists, and many pieces acquired after multiple visits to an artist’s home in remote and hard to find sites.
