Michael Hamson Oceanic Art

I am a private dealer of museum-quality Oceanic art committed to scholarship, connoisseurship and integrity. With a master’s degree in Oceanic art history from the University of California at Santa Barbara and 46 extended field collecting trips to the most remote regions of Papua New Guinea I pride myself on research and unparalleled field experience. It was in the villages where literally thousands of objects passed through my hands that I gathered the knowledge and eye for age, authenticity and quality.
