With previews of gallery exhibitions, museum shows and auctions, Western Art Collector is the premier monthly magazine for collectors searching for works by talented living and past artists who depict the West in paintings and sculptures.
From day one of this magazine we have promised to bring collectors, galleries and artists together in a way that has never happened in print before. From our art market insights to our collector home, event previews and the often-copied but never-equaled gallery show previews, the content of this magazine has given art collectors a reliable and always-growing tool to help them acquire art for their collections. And now we announce that we’ve enhanced that tool and taken it to a whole other level. How did we do that, you ask? Well, starting with our December issue you will be able to see even more available art right on our website. Here is how it will work: All the ads that appear in the printed magazine will be present down…

Mark Sublette can claim many titles, including physician, art dealer, gallery owner and published author. Now he can add another one: podcast star. Sublette, who owns Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson, Arizona, started his podcast Art Dealer Diaries in 2018 after realizing he encounters an eclectic group of people during his day-to-day dealings in the art world. The episodes were often long-form interviews with Western and Native American artists, dealers and tastemakers. Now, after a year of weekly episodes, Sublette has racked up some impressive numbers: he has interviewed more than 70 personalities, and his YouTube channel, where he publishes video versions of the interviews, has been subscribed by 5,600 users and the videos have been viewed more 1.3 million times. “I remember my son, who is 27, he told…
A new exhibition responding to climate change and biodiversity in a changing environment is now ongoing at 516 Arts in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The exhibition, developed in partnership with the Art & Ecology Program at the University of New Mexico, is titled Species in Peril Along the Rio Grande: Contemporary Artists Respond and will explore ways that the river connects people across borders and disciplines.

Berman, Kaitlin Bryson and Hollis…
Painter Jay Moore tells a story about when he was starting up as an artist, how he spent all his money to enroll in a workshop led by Clyde Aspevig and had nothing left for lodging so he slept by the creek in a sleeping bag for several nights. Anything to watch the master work. Many artists share similar stories about the Montana painter, who’s regarded as an “artist’s artist.” Aspevig currently has work up at the Woolaroc Retrospective Exhibit and Sale at the Woolaroc Museum in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Willow Pond is one of the pieces in the show. ‘The Willow Pond is a place from my childhood where I explored the tadpoles, birds, insects, plants and animals that inhabit these wetland areas,” Aspevig says. “These places still invigorate my…
