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.
Welcome to the March issue of Western Art Collector! According to Google (and the rest of us), March signals many things: rebirth, transformation and new beginnings. In the world of Western art, it signifies big shows. The Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Night of Artists is one of the biggest Western shows of the year. Michael Clawson and I will be there and look forward to seeing you during the opening weekend festivities. Many of the invited artists are not only incredibly talented, but they are also friends of Western Art Collector. We attend the show and are major media sponsors—we believe we have the best job on the planet! Meanwhile in Great Falls, Montana, multiple other shows are going on within a four-day window. These include March in Montana, Out…

1 Chris Hunt brings new work to Night of Artists Returning to the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s annual Night of Artists exhibition is charcoal artist Chris Hunt, who creates incredible portraits of Western figures, including cowboys and Native American chiefs, warriors and children. Hunt is also an accomplished bronze artist. For the artist’s charcoal images, he works the entire piece in charcoal and will often accentuate one element using color. For his Night of Artists piece, Cooling His Heels, Hunt paints the distinctive red color of a Coke can. See the piece at Night of Artists in March, and more work on his website www.chrishuntstudios.com. 2 Tina Roy makes a huge impression in Arizona When the tents opened in January at the annual Celebration of Fine Art in Scottsdale, Arizona, one booth…

Craig Macnab was born in South Africa and received his MBA degree from Drexel University in Philadelphia. He says, “My Western art has been accumulated over the past 30 years generally from artists who have become friends and acquaintances.” His early collecting wasn’t as focused as it is today, confessing that in New York in the early 1980s, thinking he wanted to purchase contemporary art, he couldn’t really tell the difference between good college artists and, say, Jasper Johns. “I couldn’t make an informed judgement,” he admits, “and I couldn’t afford it. I went shopping for another genre. I became captivated with the West and started learning about representational art. Today, I am a Western art/representational art nutcase!” And that’s always a great state to be in to pick out…
