Description
You’ll love this issue of Southwest Art if:
- You’re interested in the economic health of the art market.
- You love great artworks and stories from western artists.
- You want to revisit with artists we introduced years ago to find out what they are doing now.
The October issue of Southwest Art has you the collector in mind. First, we take a look at the health of the art market by visiting with eight experts in galleries, events, and auctions to learn more about the trends they are seeing as the economic market moves into recovery. In addition they share their strategies and suggestions for making great art purchases. You’ll also meet Retta and Mark Dunn, collectors from Colorado who started buying animal paintings they found in pet-supply stores. Read more about how those humble beginnings grew into a sizable and inspiring collection of fine art and how their early acquisitions will soon be going to the dogs.
In the October issue, you’ll meet Texas artist David Griffin, who, after years of following a less-personal path, reconnected with his Texas roots and discovered a new depth and honesty to his art. We also feature artist Carol Jenkins, who at the suggestion of a college professor, shifted from illustration to pursue studies in the fine arts, a path that she’s followed for more than four decades. Find out why one gallery owner says “Carol’s works impart an immense send of peace and joy.”
Also in the issue, we preview art shows, auctions, and events around the country from Los Angeles, CA, to Naples, FL, and Charleston, SC.
