A Conversation With Michael And Greg Hamson—Part III
Last year we had the pleasure of having an in-depth video conversation at the Palos Verdes Gallery of Oceanic Art dealer Michael Hamson, with Michael and his brother Greg. We discussed their more than fifty extended trips to some of the most remote areas of Papua New Guinea, and their pioneering methods of field collecting.
On January 23, 2022 Greg passed away after a brave year long battle with cancer. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to record some of Greg’s insights and experiences, and share his wit and humanity.
The present recording is the third and concluding portion of our conversation with Michael and greg. The first and second episodes are also on site.
“All over the world there are fantastic artists, it’s not just in Holland or France, the Old Masters, the Rembrandts, the Picassos. Every culture has their own Rembrandts and Picassos, and Papua New Guinea had more than their fair share.”
