MASTERS OF THE AMERICAN WEST @ THE AUTRY

This last weekend, February 23-24, kicked off the opening/sale weekend for the Autry’s Masters of the American West Exhibition and sale.

To kick off the event, Gallery Director Beau Alexander moderated a discussion around the Art of Collecting. Joined on stage by two prominent collectors of American Art, Alexander highlighted works from the guests’ collections as well as inquired about the journey of how their collection came about.

The awarded ceremony proceeded the morning discussion with awards of high honor being given to many new artists exhibiting for their first year. The big award of the show, BEST IN SHOW, was awarded to Maxwell Alexander Gallery artist, Logan Maxwell Hagege for his painting “Time and Space,” which sold that evening during the draw-box sale. That evening, gallery artist, John Moyers was awarded the PATRON’S CHOICE award for his painting “A Warrior I Have Been.” which also sold during the opening night.

Congrats to both John and Logan on their prestigious awards!
