Dr. Albert Michaels resides in Buffalo, New York. He has been in Collegiate Education for over 50 years. He has held numerous positions and won numerous awards for excellence in teaching. He designed catalogs and a book on Buffalo architecture. From my earliest memories my Father has collected art. I remember decorative pieces adorning our living room, walls and even basement. later on in his second marriage his collecting increased manifold. Soon our residence was decorated top to bottom with paintings , scultpture and other decorative pieces similar or the same as you see in this website.Later on after his divorce from his second wife and an unequal partitioning of the collection he surpassed the previous collections in his current residence.
Dr. Michaels collection itself as you see in the photos specializes in many different areas. Regional Art, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, some Mid Century furniture, some Modernism, CoBrA works, primitives, contemporary paintings and sculpture, Art Deco to Contemporary glass and Mexican Silver The overall design of his residence is "Decorative". he specialized in the Decorative Arts. Which, if you are unfamiliar, is a large part of the Fine Arts
I haver been fortunate to watch his collection grow over the years. I have to say he has amazing zeal in his decorative style. Many pieces he has passed to me to enjoy where I reside. He has specialized in regional art and worked diligently to increase the Burchfield Penny Center to one of the great galleries.

The purpose of this website is to generate interest in the collection and the art and styles contained.. This is an online art gallery. It will be able to be viewed publicly. A private collector showing his collection to be viewed on the internet. I plan on expanding it later for record keeping but for now please enjoy the art and the style of display of the decorative fine collection and other artworks.
This website is designed as a doorway to a larger project. Sections are already backing up that need to be added. This began as an effort to begin to catalog for reference the collection. It will eventually have several sections including old collectible toys and a shop for the crafts and possibly a few fine art items.

I have thoroughly been engrossed in the photography, website design, and text. Reading many large books (and planning on increasing my art knowledge through further studies) on the different subjects and researching the works online. The four generations are my Grandmother an avid painter herself, my Father, myself, Anne Montgomery ,my Mother, who has studied several art mediums and has a portfolio of excellent work, and my Son, Edward, who in his preteens cherished the Epic Fantasy Genre. He is a teenager now and occasionally indulges himself in Epic Fantasy and Science Fiction Strategy games.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE COLLECTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME FROM THE CONTACT EMAIL. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHOW THEM WHETHER YOU ENJOY MUSEUMS OR ARE INTERESTED IN A SALE OR TRADE.

My hopes you have found some new or renewed interest in the Art and Crafts presented in my website!
