Western Art Super Month

Welcome to the busiest month of the year and our August issue of Western Art Collector! This month we are celebrating our sister publication, Native American Art magazine, the official magazine for SWAIA’s Santa Fe Indian Market. The market is entering its second century at 101 years old and team Western Art Collector will be there August 19 and 20 to participate in the festivities. There will be 900-plus Native American artists in the Santa Fe Plaza and surrounding streets during this great celebration of art. Please come see us if you are in Santa Fe. Speaking of Santa Fe, we have some amazing shows for collectors looking for new contemporary Western art that you will want to add to your list to see in person or online. Kathryn Stedham…

The Future

People who watch the market closely talk a lot about new and young collectors, and how to get them involved in Western art so they can carry the tradition onward. These are important discussions worth having, and ones we’ve had on these very pages before. But there is another side to “new and young” that I want to focus on, and that is with the artists themselves. It’s important to remember that we need to nurture and support these painters and sculptors as they enter the art world, get their wits about them and become the artists they are destined to be. One of the roles of a magazine like Western Art Collector is to shine a light on some of these rising stars. It’s something we’ve done since we…

Each Month We Ask Leading Museum Curators About What’s Going On In Their World.

Stephanie Fox Knappe Sanders Sosland Senior Curator, Global Modern and Contemporary Art, Head American Art Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Kansas City, MO (816) 751-1278, www.nelson-atkins.org What event (gallery show, museum exhibit, etc.) in the next few months are you looking forward to, and why? A Layered Presence, part of our “KC Art Now” initiative, opens this fall and features 22 local Latinx artists. Like the artists’ identities, their art is richly layered in terms of materials and meaning. These strata combine to honor ancestors, probe histories, conjure memories and craft personal narratives. Queerness, gender, states of being, immigration and more are explored. Some of the layers reveal. Others protect and conceal. While there are points of connection, each artist and every work in the show resonates as singularly powerful. What…
