New Orleans art

Hi guys!

I am looking for recommendations on where to buy New Orleans-y type art (paintings, wall hangings, photographs, that sort of thing). Thanks a bunch!

    A lot of the art at Jackson Square is massed producd. If you see a "painting" that you like and the image goes around the edges then it is a digital print on canvas, probably cost them $60 to do. They usually sell for $200-$300. It's become very popular!
    Royal Street is THE place to go. Go into lots of galleries and ask about the artist(s) if they can't tell you about the artist, move on.

  • Royal St and others off Bourbon.  There are tons of art shops.
  • I recently bought a couple drawings from this place off Decatur near the French Market called either the Crab Trap or the Crab Net, I can't remember which.  I was looking for something to put in my kitchen and found these really neat drawings of tabasco bottles and other things (like shrimp, crawfish,etc) made into a fleur de lis.  I got them framed at Michael's and so many people ask where I got them from.  They are really unique.

    I know which place you're talking about, that's a great place we were in there about two weeks ago they do have some great things.

  • Check out Terrence Osborne - I think his site is Gallery Osborne, maybe? - his work is fantastic, and his prints run around $100. Think NOLA meets Alice in Wonderland with a little bit of the '60s thrown in.?
  • I LOVE Terrence Osbornes stuff. I have several prints. PP has it right though, but I don't think it gets more New Orleans than him!
