The Spirit of the West
This show brings together a dynamic group of gallery artists, offering a wide-ranging exploration of the American West—from historical depictions to bold contemporary interpretations.
The exhibition features vintage photographs from Edward Curtis’ monumental 30-year project, The North American Indian (1898–1928), along with Andy Warhol’s western pop masterpieces from his Cowboys and Indians series (1986).
Also on view are David Yarrow’s striking large-scale photographs, which blend cinematic backdrops, recognizable models, eccentric western characters, and trained animals to create images that evoke curiosity, laughter, and awe.
The show further highlights recent acquisitions of paintings by Russell Chatham. While Chatham’s landscapes may appear as recognizable places, they transcend topography— capturing a feeling, an emotion that resonates deeper than the visual mind.
Additional works by celebrated gallery artists will also be on display, including Bill Barrett, Duke Beardsley, Rudi Broschofsky, Joan Mitchell, Ken Peloke, Billy Schenck, Theodore Villa, and more.
