In May and June 2000 (May 5 - July 2, 2000) we showed Nicaraguan Self-Taught, a new collection of paintings by self-taught artists from Nicaragua. The artists, Alejandro Cabrera, Santiago Crespin and Rosa Delia Lopez, are members of a group of self-taught artists in the community of Sutiava, outside the city of Leon. Alejandro Cabrera and Rosa Delia Lopez, are already familiar to many of you, as they were included in our 1998 show,Primitivistas. Santiago Crespin,while new to Indigo Arts, has been exhibiting his paintings for several years. As in 1998, the work is brought to us with the assistance of Project Gettysburg/Leon. For more information on this work and these artists see our Nicaragua Gallery section.
Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.
