Western Art Collector Reviews Top Galleries in California

January 23, 2013

Maxwell Alexander Gallery

6144 Washington Boulevard Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 839-9242 www.maxwellalexandergallery.com

Located in Culver City, in the middle of the thriving arts district, Maxwell Alexander Gallery brings a variety of quality Western and contemporary art to the Los Angeles area. With a goal to bring the best Western art to Los Angeles, Maxwell Alexander proudly represents artists such as Glenn Dean, Logan Maxwell Hagege, Jeremy Lipking, and Billy Schenck.

The styles of artwork that can be found in the gallery vary from Dean’s California impressionism to Schenck’s Western pop to Lipking’s naturalistic take on the West to Hagege’s bold interpretations of Western landscapes and the Native peoples of the West.

A group show opening February 9 features 15 artists including Lipking, Dean, Schenck, Hagege, and Phil Epp. An additional solo show featuring Dean’s work is set to open on April 6. Small works, set in craftsman-style frames will highlight “The Desert Southwest,” “The California Landscape,” and “The Seascape.”

On May 11, Schenck’s work, characterized by its unique, Western pop in a “paint-by- numbers” style, will appear. This legendary artist made a splash in the 1970s and ’80s with his bold energetic work, and has recently made a strong return to the contemporary Western art scene with fresh new works.

Promising Start for a New Art Space

The Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Culver City, California, staged its Grand Opening in mid-December with a powerful show of contemporary realist and Western art.

December 15 saw a busy opening night for the Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Culver City, California. Founded by Beau Alexander, the gallery aspires to offer new representation for California artists and to provide an innovative context for viewing their artwork. Alexander explains, “We are putting a gallery together that is based on curated shows rather than representing a long roster of artists. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with our clients and give the support that the artists we are working with deserve.” Incorporating museum-style curating techniques into a group gallery exhibition may set this new art space apart and help to fix what often feels disjointed about group shows. The Grand Opening event provided an intriguing example of just how curated shows at Maxwell Alexander Gallery will look.

The Grand Opening included works by Kim Cogan, Glenn Dean, Josh Elliott, Logan Maxwell Hagege, Jefferson Hayman, Ignat Ignatov, David Kassan, Robert Lemler, Jeremy Lipking, Mark D. Nelson, Sergio Sanchez, Billy Schenck, and Joseph Todorovitch. From Cogan’s memento mori still lifes to the contemplative figural works of Lipking and Todorovitch and the Southwestern imagery of Nelson, Schenck, and Maxwell, the Grand Opening represented a wide array of styles. The show proved a successful and promising beginning. Several sales were recorded before the opening itself, which received about 400 visitors. Thirty minutes into the show, the gallery was at maximum capacity, and from 7:30-10 p.m. visitors could expect to wait 45 minutes for entrance.

Celebrating their Grand Opening this weekend is the Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Culver City, California.  This new showplace, founded by Beau Alexander, aims to introduce a new breed of gallery, and to fill a gap in the artists represented in the Los Angeles area.  “There are many great galleries in Los Angeles and especially here in Culver City,” said  Beau Alexander. “But there are many talented artists whose work is just not available in the Los Angeles area. We are putting a gallery together that is based on curated shows rather than representing a long roster of artists. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with our clients and give the support that the artists we are working with deserve.”  The grand opening exhibition features new and moderately priced paintings by 13 artists including: Jeremy Lipking, Kim Cogan, David Kassan, Bill Schenck, Joseph Todorovitch, Glenn Dean, Jefferson Hayman, Mark D. Nelson, and Logan Maxwell Hagege.

Upcoming exhibits in the 2013 schedule will include a show of contemporary Western Art, a category of prime importance to the gallery.  “We want to show that there is quality in every genre of art, be it Western, or traditional realism,” says Alexander.  “There seems to be some prejudice on both coasts against Western art but we feel it needs to be looked at simply as American Art. Collectors shouldn’t be worried about it matching the style of their homes; certain pieces have a modern feel and can fit into any art collection.  It won’t be what people are used to thinking of when it comes to Western Art.”

The Maxwell Alexander Gallery is located at 6144 W. Washington Boulevard, in Culver City, California, 90232.  For more information about the gallery, or about the Grand Opening exhibition specifically, please contact Beau Alexander (310) 839-9242, or visit www.maxwellalexandergallery.com/exhibition/grand-opening/
