Best of the West
The Best of the West showcases a diverse collection of works by gallery artists, offering various subjects and interpretations of the American West—from historical to contemporary perspectives. The exhibit features vintage photographs from Edward Curtis’ monumental 30-year project, The North American Indian (1898–1928), alongside Andy Warhol’s Western pop art pieces from his Cowboys and Indians series (1986).
David Yarrow’s striking large-scale photographs, which captivate viewers with their spectacular settings, renowned models, eccentric Western characters, and trained animals, are also on display. These works often inspire a mix of curiosity, amusement, and awe.
Recent acquisitions include paintings by Russell Chatham, whose works evoke a profound emotional resonance, offering more than just a visual recognition of place. They reveal a sense of connection that stirs the deeper, more reflective aspects of the mind.
The exhibition further highlights works by notable gallery artists, including Bill Barrett, Duke Beardsley, Rudi Broschofsky, Ewoud de Groot, Kollabs, Joan Mitchell, Ken Peloke, Billy Schenck, Theodore Villa, Andy Warhol, and many more.
