We've Been Scouted!
OPEN HOUSE - SAVE THE DATE!
Goetze Art & Design is thrilled to be a part of The Scout Guide Memphis, Vol. 8. We love the TSG city guides because they promote and support LOCAL businesses!

Expanding our geographic circle a bit, we are also very excited to be listed in the National Scout Guide's galleries to check out on the East Coast!

Copies of TSG Memphis, Vol. 8 are available at great spots around town, or -- even better -- plan to stop by our upcoming open house to pick up a copy!

DATE: Wednesday, November 17 and Thursday, November 18

TIME: 10am to 2pm

*As always, you can always contact me to arrange a private showing!
"I love that Amanda doesn’t discriminate when it comes to the art she sells—she has a large variety. When I walked into her home for one of her open houses, I was in awe over all the wonderful pieces,” says Stephanie Stephens, editor of The Scout Guide Memphis.

“She always knows the story behind each piece, making it easy for her to connect her clients to meaningful art, passed down for generations to come."
Have You Met Cat? Check Out the Fascinating Story Behind Her Artwork!
Cat Rigdon is a painter and fiber artist now based in Dallas and London. But she grew up worlds away in Cyprus during the late 1990s and early 2000s. As a result, she absorbed the island's strong tradition of folk art and naturalism, which you can see reflected in her work.

Cat's story doesn't end there. She graduated from Texas State University and was a Decorative Arts Specialist and Cataloger for Heritage Auctions. But she wound up leaving the auction house after a serious head injury led her to pursue a studio-based lifestyle.

Cat's obsessively repetitive works reflect her continuous recovery from the head injury, Cypriot mythology, her family's sudden emigration, and her time at the auction house working with artifacts.

The original Lidded Krater 74.51.965 can be found at The Metropolitan Museum and is an impressive piece standing nearly 6-feet tall. It was brought to the U.S. by Luigi Palma di Cesnola, who was the first director of the Met Museum. Prior to that post, he was the American Consul to Cyprus (appointed by Abraham Lincoln!). 

During his time in Cyprus, Cesnola lead hundreds of archeological digs around the island and took more than 35,000 items with him once his tenure ended. These items were sold to individuals and institutions like The British Museum and The Met.

Rigdon’s interpretation modernizes the blanket-pattern Krater using a pink and blue palette with graphite to gently describe the patterning.
