[FRIAM] Santa Fe Treasure Hunt

[Barry MacKichan]

The summer we first moved to New Mexico (in 1976, to Las Cruces) we made 
our first visit to Santa Fe. To prepare a bit, I read a book on New 
Mexican art. While we were there, we went to the Fenn Gallery, where I 
saw at least one of the works in the book, and several by artists 
included in the book. He also had a small room of artifacts. I don’t 
remember much of what was in there, but there was rifle from the early 
nineteenth century. It was definitely a high end gallery. They were 
always very friendly to all their customers, even a beginning associate 
professor who bought only a paperback book.
