Graduated from Geo. Washington H.S. NYC in 1949.

I am a retired educator, collector, dealer and former American Society of Appraisers certified appraiser, Senior Member, specializing in Pre-Columbian, African and Native American Art.

I hold advanced degrees in Ethnographic Art from both Columbia University and New York University and taught Studio Art and Art History for years at the College of Staten Island in New York. Later, I taught Pre-Columbian, African and American Indian Art Appraisal courses at New York University until my retirement from education in 1996.

I presently offer fine African and Pre-Columbian Art online (eBay user ID: RODROGRS) and by appointment.
