At Fish Out of Water (FOW), we concentrate on Mexican folk art and antiques. The FOW collection spans over ten years of traveling to and living in Oaxaca, Mexico, and acquiring artwork directly from the artists. The collection includes many unique carved and hand-painted figures and animals, nichos, textiles, two-dimensional works, and ceramics as well as a variety of multimedia artwork. Our antiques include American Folk Art and primitives.

FOW is located in Old Town in Chicago. Please feel free to make an appointment to acquire or simply to admire.

Additionally, if you know the Oaxacan artist or have a specific subject matter and price range that you are looking for, please contact us to make a custom order. FOW is happy to email or mail photos of current stock or take special orders.
