The Art of Value: The Extensive Collection of Howard Row is a satirical
catalogue highlighting the extraordinary collection of collector, Howard
Row. To the untrained eye, Row is a well-traveled, world-renowned collector -- with friends in high places -- who is exhibiting his never-before-seen
collection at the esteemed Appraised Museum of Art. In reality, Row is a
character invented by artist Leah Vogely.From photos to character development, the book¹s source material all stems from the Antique Row shops on Howard Street in Baltimore -- hence the name. There, Ms. Vogely discovered that there is more than one way to view a collector, a collection, and the history of an object.
