Below is some of the recognization Mr. Simmons has received as listed on his web site here http://www.philipsimmons.us/aboutsimmons.html
"Pieces of his work have been acquired as well by the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution; the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, NM; the Richland County Public Library, Columbia, SC, the Atlanta History Center, Atlanta, GA,"
Oh WOW! Thanks for posting this ...I thoroughly enjoyed learning about this incredible smithy! His work is extraordinary. I am so glad he was recognized and appreciated in his lifetime..."a poet of ironwork." So many arts like this have gone lost, like building a stone wall or a fireplace ..I am truly grateful for your post!
