"C o l l e c t i n g i s a tradition, but an eccentric one, and it is carried out most capably by freethinkers who prize self-expression, the pursuit of an individual sensibility, and the discovery — often through old things — of the new." — Michael Diaz-Griffith "The New Antiquarians do the new as well as the antique. Some mix or display objects in new- fashioned ways, while others reclaim or recontextualize history through the things they have chosen to steward and interpret. A few, brilliantly, do all these things at once." — Michael Diaz-Griffith The New Antiquarians: Michael Diaz-Griffith A rt historian Michael Diaz- Griffith is the perfect gent to introduce a new generation to the world of antiques collecting. In The New Antiquarians: At Home with Young Collectors (Monacelli), Diaz-Griffith explores 17 homes that burst with objects and curios, as well as the up-and-coming young collectors who inhabit them. Whether it's a Manhattan loft with 19th-century quilts and beadwork, a Baton Rouge home boasting an important private collection of Creole art, or a seaside house in England with 18th-century sugar casters alongside chartreuse and arsenic- green decor, every residence featured in these pages exemplifies new ways to live with history. CV: Diaz-Griffith is executive director of the Design Leadership Network and previously served as associate executive director of The Winter Show, the most prestigious antiques and design fair in the United States, and served as executive director of Sir John Soane's Museum Foundation in London.
