Steve Slotin, co-owner Slotin Folk Art Auction

Even amid a pandemic, folk art sales remain strong. This bodes well with this week’s guest, whose Buford-based company has been conducting folk art auctions since 1994. Slotin’s Spring Self-Taught Art Masterpiece Sale takes place on April 24. They hope sales compare to their most recent event. Slotin Folk Art’s Fall Self-Taught Art Masterpiece Sale in November 2020 was one of the auction house’s most successful with total revenues of $1.48 million. Slotin joins co-host Jon Waterhouse to talk about the secondary art sales market, growing his business, the popularity of self-taught art, and much more.
