A
spen is a special place. Most of us enjoy exercise and the great outdoors
during our time here, with bikes, skis, boots or fishing poles. The recreational lifestyle of our
community is an important aspect, but the arts and culture one can experience in this town make it the well-rounded, fulfilling place that it is and keep intelligent, cultured people coming back. Aspen’s art galleries offer something for everyone from the casual muser to the serious collector. They carry small gift items, large sculptures, paintings and photographs by local and internationally recognized artists. Their owners’ passion for art shows in the thoughtfulness of their collections and their dedication to their clients. Take this guide with you as you wander the streets of Aspen and stop in a gallery or two. No visit is complete until you’ve experienced the art in Aspen.

V
alley Fine Art, now in its 20th year, has been a focal point for clients interested in important art that tells the unfolding story of the American West. Situated on Mill Street at the Historic Wheeler Opera House, Valley Fine Art features some of the greatest American artists and photographers of all time. Within the gallery, the discerning collector will also find unmatched paintings, sculpture, custom fine woodworking, and old pawn jewelry. The expertly curated selection at Valley Fine Art breathes life into both the artists and art in a new way that speaks toward America’s past and its unfolding future. Unique to Valley Fine Art is the opportunity to view a conversation in art between Edward S. Curtis, legendary photographer and ethnographer of American Indians, and pop artist Andy Warhol. Curtis’s vintage photogravure “Geronimo – Apache,” and Warhol’s screenprint, “Geronimo,” hang side by side at the gallery. It was Curtis’s stunning and humanizing photographs of the American Indians that resonated so thoroughly with Americans that many of his images became part of American popular culture. Enter Warhol, who recognized that Geronimo in particular had become a household name and drew inspiration from Ben Wittick’s photograph for his iconic screenprint. Mia Valley, owner and founder of Valley Fine Art, trains her eye on important artists who have documented change in America across
16
Art in aspen // WINTER 2013
the centuries, and with Curtis’s and Warhol’s Geronimo pieces she shows how one artist’s work enabled the masterpiece of another. The collector with a discriminating eye invariably finds much to admire at Valley Fine Art, and it is no surprise why many collectors return to build their collections. The gallery is also a magnet for new clients waiting to be enchanted by a whole new way of looking at America through the eyes of some of its greatest artists and photographers. It is because of her studied and thoughtful understanding of American art that Mia Valley has been a fixture in Aspen’s art world for two decades. Raise a glass with Mia this spring as she marks the gallery’s 20th year with an open house celebration from 5 to 9 p.m. on March 14, 2014.

“I am continually fascinated by an artist’s use of light, shadow, scale, and texture. Whether in painting or sculpture, these skills are employed by each artist uniquely with the resulting effects being visually and emotionally arresting. The importance and appeal of their works withstand the test of time.” – Mia Valley, Founder/Owner

Christopher Burkett Christopher Burkett hand-prints all of his images in a wet darkroom on Cibachrome (also known as Ilfochrome), a rare printing material. The result is a collection of images with unsurpassed luminosity, depth, color purity, and sharpness. Burkett uses no filters, and there is no retouching or any type of digital manipulation to his photographs. Burkett believes in the veracity and integrity of traditional, handmade photographic prints. An artist who began practicing photography to express the grace, light, and beauty he saw in nature, Burkett is now a world-renowned expert who travels the United States to photograph and lecture, notably at Aspen’s own Anderson Ranch. Now in his 33rd year as an artist, Burkett and his handprinting method have left a beautiful and indelible mark on the art world. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of Cibachrome discontinued it in 2011. Burkett bought a large supply of this paper, which he stores in a freezer warehouse and withdraws when needed for printing. However, once it’s gone, it’s gone forever, and these Cibachrome prints will be truly irreplaceable.

Edward S. Curtis (1868 — 1952) Curtis is perhaps the most widely collected and exhibited fine art photographer in the 170year history of the medium. His work has been exhibited in more than 40 countries and is found in thousands of private and public collections, including those of the Getty Museum, the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Valley Fine Art has the largest gallery collection of Curtis’ work in the country.

O
ver his 35-year career, Albert Sanford, owner of Galerie Maximillian, has always held true to one standard when buying art: “If I’m not willing to hang a piece in my own home, it does not deserve a place on the walls of my gallery, or in my client’s home.” It is this passionate, personal relationship to art and the experience of collecting that makes Galerie Maximillian one of Aspen’s finest. It is
20
Art in aspen // WINTER 2013
the one place where you will find work by the world’s most coveted artists, both modern and contemporary, housed in an environment that is light and airy, friendly and engaging. Clients become like family and visit the gallery season after season, year after year. This is a priceless relationship rooted in trust. “Our clients trust our knowledge and expertise, and they appreciate the fact that we are one of the longest running galleries in Aspen,” says Sanford. “Established over 17 years ago, we are committed to spending time with our clients, helping them build quality collections which they can enjoy and be proud of for generations.” The gallery is committed to changing installations on almost a weekly basis during the high seasons, so it is virtually guaranteed that you will see something new every time you visit. This winter the gallery is presenting an extraordinary exhibition “From the Atelier ... Rare 20th Century Masterworks on Paper.” Selected carefully by Sanford for more than a decade, the works you will
see are unique, dedicated or annotated impressions from the collections of printers and publishers of some of the most important artists of the last century — Miró, Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Chagall, Dubuffet, Magritte, Moore and Hockney. “In my worldwide search to find the very best works to offer our clients, I am always on the hunt for something unique or special,” says Sanford. “It is a particular thrill when I find a drawing, etching, lithograph or woodcut that is not only beautiful but also dedicated or hand embellished by the artist in some way. It is like finding two exceptional works of art in one.” If your collecting taste runs more toward the contemporary, you will not be disappointed. Galerie Maximillian has amassed an enviable display of colorful and compelling works by American and British artists Mel Bochner, Cecily Brown, Richard Prince, Ed Ruscha, Peter Doig, Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst and Grayson Perry. Mid-winter the gallery will install a show of new works by Richard Dupont, a New York-based artist producing mindbending work, merging technology with tradition, creating pictures and sculpture that defy explanation. Dupont’s work needs to be seen to be believed. So whatever your collecting interests, stop by Galerie Maximillian this winter.

T
he Ann Korologos Gallery knows that Western art is as varied as its breathtaking landscapes. For more than 20 years, the gallery has specialized in Western art and artists influenced by the West, which means showcasing work in all media by people from all over the U.S. Owner Ann Korologos was introduced to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1989 when she became a trustee at the Aspen Institute. Also a former U.S. secretary of labor and a current board member at Michael Kors Ltd., Korologos has brought in such speakers as former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Walter Issacson and Dr. Ben Carson since buying the gallery in 2007. She has also been connecting artists to each other and to clients. “One of the gallery’s goals is for people to leave the gallery with a deeper understanding of art and artists,” Korologos says. “I appreciate the past, but have a better feel for living artists. Knowing the artists brings much more dimension to the perception of their work.” Guests walk in to find works of contemporary western fine art by internationally known masters such as Dan Namingha, Dean Mitchell, Cheri Christensen and sculptor Gordon Gund. Regional favorites Dan Young, Jill Soukup, Gregory Stocks and Andy Taylor are also represented. Their vibrant and stimulating work represented in the gallery ranges from traditional landscape and wildlife
24
Art in aspen // WINTER 2013
painting to the abstract, as well as sculpture and ceramics. Korologos’ passions for connecting artists and collectors, for bringing together thinkers, writers and other cultural leaders in her gallery, all combine for an intellectual, inspiring experience. “A gallery is a place where you can lose yourself in your own moment and travel to the artist’s moment,” Korologos said. “Art brings out our humanness and our instincts for something greater than ourselves.” TOP TO BOTTOM Dan Namingha, “Moon Over Horizon”, acrylic on canvas, 28” x 28” Michael Wisner, “Terracotta Zigzag”, handmade local clay, 5” x 7” OPPOSITE PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM Colin Poole, “The Meadow”, oil on panel, 16” x 20” Terry Gardner, “Holiday Drive-In”, oil on canvas, 28” x 28”

E
lliott Yeary Gallery has been owned and operated for the past 13 years by Aspen locals Kelly Wyly O’Donovan and Kristin Yeary. The childhood friends opened the gallery in 2000 with the goal of selling exceptional art to Aspen’s locals and visitors alike. Elliott Yeary specializes in emerging artists who paint traditional still lifes, wildlife and landscapes, as well as abstract, expressionist and surreal themes. One of the staff’s favorite paintings in the gallery now is “Safe Passage,” in which Colorado artist Joan Rossberg captures the serenity, comfort and charm in a scene of two lively dogs and an old pickup parked outside a farmhouse. It’s as if the viewer is the driver glancing over his or her shoulder to see if the dogs are keeping up. While Rossberg has received numerous art awards and been featured in numerous publications and exhibitions, her art is affordable and accessible to collectors. Elliott Yeary represents a group of rotating artists full-time and hosts short guest exhibitions that appeal to art lovers throughout the year. Elliott Yeary seeks to serve the art lover and collector looking for unique, one-of-a-kind paintings that are a joy to live with. The gallery also houses jewelry for individuals seeking pieces that are more distinctive than what is available on the mass market, including some small-production designers.

asterline Goodman Gallery is the only secondary investment art gallery currently operating in Aspen. Owners Robert Casterline and Jordan Goodman have been involved in the art business in some way for many years and use their expertise to help people start serious art collections or invest in pieces that will become an asset. Casterline Goodman specializes in post-war and contemporary art. While the quality of the works and renown of the artists hanging on the walls — including Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, and Jeff Koons — makes for a museumlike experience for anyone walking into the gallery, this team’s not messing around. Casterline and Goodman deal with serious collectors and seek to educate people about what makes a work of art an investment, find pieces for clients and advise them on what they can expect to pay. Their experience helps them to verify the authenticity and condition of a piece, and clients have recommended them based on their reliability. “It comes down to trusting someone,” Casterline said. “You want to deal with someone you can openly trust.”
28
Art in aspen // WINTER 2013
Since opening in Aspen in December 2012, Casterline Goodman has also helped many local collectors sell pieces. Casterline and Goodman both have prior connections to Aspen and saw a niche in town for their type of business. “Aspen is one of my favorite cities in America, maybe the world,” Casterline said. “For me, it was time someone brought in quality, investment artwork.”

inda Loeschen didn’t get her start in painting. She studied interior design at Parsons School of Design, where she also developed her watercolor skills. When she moved to Aspen in the ’70s, her plan was to make a career in design. However, after being invited to participate in the first Aspen Chapel Gallery show and selling several watercolors there, her best-laid plans vanished. Painting became her priority, and she started displaying her work in multiple shows and galleries. Loeschen and her husband, Lee, live on a ranch in Emma, outside Basalt. His workshirt hanging on a fencepost, his old scruffed boots and cowboy hats soon became source material for her paintings. Subjects have grown to include the cacti, barns and fencelines that surround her and bears that have wandered onto the ranch and beyond. “I like to explore negative spaces and overlapping shapes that I see in close ups of bushes, grasses and aspens,” says Loeschen. She has added acrylics to her paint box and enjoys combining the two mediums. Loeschen’s work “Box Canyon Ambush” is on the cover of the book “Art of the American West.” Among her many awards was the “Artists Choice Award” at the prestigious “Cowgirl Up!” show at the Desert Caballeros Western

Museum in Arizona. “I was so honored to have my peers recognize my work,” Loeschen said. She also won Best in Show and Best Watercolor at the Annual National Western Fine Art Exhibition and Sale in San Dimas, Calif. Loeschen has been chosen to be the poster artist for several western events including Telluride’s Wild West Fest; Durango’s Cowboy Gathering; Billings, Mont.’s Northern International Livestock Exposition, and the Single Action Shooting Society in California. She is a signature member of the prestigious American Women Artists. Loeschen is always happy to work with clients to fill custom needs for size, shape, color and subject. Feel free to call her at her studio in Emma, 970-927-3243, or contact any Colorado galleries representing her: Main Street Gallery (Carbondale and Glenwood Springs), Redstone Art Gallery (Redstone) and Spirits in the Wind (Golden). For more information and to see more of Loeschen’s work, visit www. LindaLoeschen.com. Loeschen’s next local show is Colorado Mountain College’s Art Share, Nov. 8 through Jan. 19, 2014. Opening reception is 6 – 8 p.m., Nov. 8, at Colorado Mountain College’s Rifle campus.

.S. Lawrence Gallery is used to being first: first in Aspen as the oldest art gallery, and now as the first commercial gallery to set up in the new art district being established on Hyman Avenue between Hunter and Spring streets. Anchored by the new location of the Aspen Art Museum, the core of downtown Aspen is expanding. No surprise that E.S. Lawrence Gallery is the leader in creating the vision for what this block in Aspen will become. Only two blocks from Gondola Plaza and directly across the street from the Aspen Art Museum, E.S. Lawrence Gallery is poised to be a founder once again. “E.S. Lawrence Gallery strives to provide an eclectic mix of artwork created by living artists,” gallery owner Ken Johnson says. “We work to meet
the discerning tastes of everyone who walks in our doors.” A rotating display of oils, watercolors, mixed media and sculpture by numerous artists, including Hamilton Aguiar, Zvonimir Mihanovic and Anne London as well as local artists, provide for a wonderful mix of genres and variety. Many visitors stop in on their return visits to Aspen just to check out what the gallery is showing. With the new location and lightfilled, spacious gallery, everyone who steps into E.S. Lawrence Gallery will have an enjoyable experience.
