John Foster is taking the week off to open an exhibit of his collections at James Madison University, in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

John’s extraordinary collection of the vernacular is widely recognized, and in 2005 he was name one of the Top 100 Art Collectors in the US by Art & Antiques Magazine. As he wrote in one of his many columns, “[I]t is usually collectors—not museums—who engage first with specific niches of art that fall outside of the mainstream.” Herewith, ten curations from John in which his collection has been highlighted.
