                  A LAS LAGARE FOUNDATION INVITATION

    We're initiating an inventory exchange program; this deaccession will provide the conservation needed for newly acquired assets, while preparing for future exhibition.

                                                 

                                                   LAGARE HISTORY                  

    In 1961 LaGare opened 'The Attic Antiques,' his first storefront. Soon after he expanded to 'The Lighthouse Antiques,' an historic riverfront property. Seems Lagare had established a cultural presence throughout the Midwest while building his clientele. This included a flamboyant concert pianist called Liberace, the world's highest paid entertainer of that time. And I will never forget the legendary Tina Turner, who traveled often from Chicago to negotiate with LaGare. Coined back then as the 'ART of the DEAL'

    Expanding to the southwest Lagare opened 'The Old Goldmine' gallery in Searchlight, Nevada. Then the 1980s brought the Fountain Hills, Arizona gallery, and a short time in Scottsdale. But cherished the most was Sonoita, Arizona. This gallery operation included monthly auctions, his customer, those ranchers of Arizona's most southern border.
