Western Art Collector October 2022/ No. 182

In this issue we showcase many of the largest gallery shows of the year. The artists read like a Hollywood Western movie. We have Legacy Galleries’ Kyle Polzin and Z.S. Liang show this month. Moving through the pages you will see a preview for Blue Rain Gallery’s Doug West show and Insight Gallery’s John Coleman show. All in October! The spirit of collecting is full of life this October.

These are some of the best people to know in all of Western…
