I had Roger Eiteljorg on the podcast today. I've known Roger for a very long time and this is a unique podcast because we spoke not only about Roger and his background but also about his father. You see, Roger's dad was Harrison Eiteljorg, an American philanthropist and businessman who founded the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis. It's an amazingly difficult thing to start a museum and actually have it function let alone succeed for an extended period of time. After 3 decades the Eiteljorg Museum has earned its spot among the premier Western/Native American art museums east of the Mississippi. Throughout the podcast, you get a sense of what it's like to grow up with a father who had the ambitions that Harrison Eiteljorg had and how that would impact someone like Roger.Roger lives in Taos these days and he's involved in the Taos Art Museum as well. This is a very fun and interesting podcast, Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 208 with Roger Eiteljorg.
