He bought [[Americana (culture)|Americana]] then, too, because he loved everything he saw at [[Serendipity 3|Serendipity]]. ... the Tiffany lamps, the [[carousel]] horses, the Punches and old trade signs that helped propel him toward Pop insights. After that he bought primitive portraits and country painted furniture, then high-style painted furniture. Then on to [[Federal furniture]] in 1974 after he bought a [[Georgian architecture|Georgian-style]] townhouse."
