t’s not unusual to hear people modestly disparage their talents in any given field. However, when I say I have a severe shortcoming as it relates to art, know that I am not being self-effacing. My drawings of stick figures
don’t even resemble circles and lines, never mind actual representations of people. Thankfully my lack of ability doesn’t run in the family, as I have an extraordinarily talented sister who creates beauty for a living, pouring her emotions

from palette to canvas in her studio. Her work — and that of other local artists — allows me to be perpetually surrounded by splendor, despite my own deficiencies. This ART catalog was established thanks to the abundance of art that flows from this small community. We are all blessed by the creativity of so many who inspire and constantly reimagine the fabric and foundation of the Roaring Fork Valley’s artistic hamlet. I’m touched to be part of a place that contains such a tremendous level of imaginative sophistication, which is accessible by locals and visitors alike. We’ve lovingly compiled the information within these pages so that everyone can soak up the beauty of Aspen — inside and out — and make the most of their experience here.

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. The gallery features some of the greatest American artists and photographers of all time. Within the gallery, the discerning collector will also find unmatched paintings, sculpture, 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 evolving future. The gallery is the principal consultant/curator to many of the major private Edward S. Curtis collections, and is an Edward S. Curtis advisor to major museums including Western Heritage in Oklahoma City. In 2005, Valley Fine Art was called upon to conduct an identification and valuation of the Edward S. Curtis estate. Mia Valley, owner and founder of Valley Fine Art, has a remarkable touch for identifying artists whose work, like the iconic work of Edward S. Curtis, notably documents and illustrates America’s cultural evolution across the centuries. The gallery has been a long respected dealer of works by deceased artists such as Charles Partridge Adams, John James Audubon, Oscar E. Berninghaus, Albert Bierstadt, Irving Couse, Thomas Moran, Frederick Remington, Charles Marion Russell, Joseph Henry Sharp, and Andy Warhol. Nationally known living artists shown

at the gallery include Woodrow Blagg, Kenneth Bunn, Christopher Burkett, Michael Charron, Michael and Nicholas Coleman, Pete Hajdu, Michael Naranjo, Barbara Van Cleve, Theodore Waddell, and Richie Ryall. 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 fresh perspective of America through the eyes of some of its greatest artists and photographers. The gallery is located in the historic Wheeler Opera House Building at 213 Mill Street in the core of Downtown Aspen.

T
his is the most important poster ever. The world of modern graphic arts started here and, in a way, it ends here. This has always been the most expensive non-film poster and it always will be. The graphic is timeless, the poster is rare, the condition is one of the best in the world and the artist is one of the greatest ever. Toulouse-Lautrec’s Moulin Rouge has passed the test of time and the wallet. If you notice a difference in the color of the ink from panel to panel; colors of the inks were inconsistent at the Turn of the last Century. The word ‘La Goulue’ in the poster refers to Louise Weber who was taken under the wing of Jacques Renaudin, a wine merchant who danced in his spare time under the stage name Valentin le Désossé. That is the man in the forefront of the poster with the top hat. They danced at the Moulin Rouge when it first opened, performing an early form of the Can-can known as the ‘Chalut’. The two were instant stars, but it was Weber who stole the show with her outrageously captivating conduct. Booked as a permanent headliner, La Goulue became synonymous with the Cancan and the Moulin Rouge nightclub. She became the toast of Paris and the highest paid entertainer of her day. She also was one of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s favorite subjects, immortalized by his portraits and posters of her dancing at the Moulin Rouge. Perhaps the most famous nightclub ever, the Moulin Rouge opened in 1889, the same year this poster was created for it. It is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the modern Can-can. It became fashionable for French society to visit and see the spectacular
20

cabarets, which always included the Can-can. This poster was originally printed in three sheets to be displayed in the streets of Paris. There are very, very few of those that survived. They subsequently printed an unknown number to be sold to consumers. The houses, in Paris, at the Turn of the Twentieth Century were small so they only printed the Moulin Rouge poster in two sheets and did not print the top panel. You can see where the third panel is when you look at the top of the poster and the word BAL. This poster is the two sheet edition with the third a stone lithograph contemporary reproduction.

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 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 friends 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 summer the gallery lineup featues two extraordinary shows. Opening June 27th – August 31 Not Just Steak and Kidney Pie! Works by Contemporary British artists with new projects by four of the original YBA’s (Young British Artist’s) including: Peter
Doig, Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn and Grayson Perry. These artists, graduates of Goldsmith’s College in London in the late 1980’s, used shock tactics, with bold new techniques and imagery that turned the art world upside down. They created a “we can do anything,” attitude and it worked! As these artist’s continue to thrive and reinvent themselves, their success has paved the way for a new breed of Contemporary British Artists that will also be included in this exhibition such as Michael Craig-Martin (once a professor at Goldsmith’s College), Harland Miller, Sarah Morris and Julian Opie. Opening July 26th – August 31st Jim Dine Recent Paintings, Mixed Media works on Paper & Editions. “One of the great American artist’s of this generation, (born, 1935), we are thrilled to be able to show this incredible collection that includes his favorite themes across many mediums, says owner Albert Sanford.” His repeated use of familiar and personally significant objects, such as a robe, hands, tools, and hearts, is a signature of his art. All have a special meaning to him and reflect his feelings about life. For example, his constantly varied bathrobe, transparent to the gaze of the world, is a kind of metaphor for a self-portrait. This will be the first major show of Dine’s work at Galerie Maximillian.

A
t the crossroads of form and function is Italy’s “Stile Liberty,” or Arte Nuova. Born in the last decade of 1800, the now wellknown artistic style was a philosophical reaction to the academic art (primarily Neoclassicism and Romanticism) of the 19th century. Gone were the almostcluttered compositions of the era. Practitioners of Stile Liberty took liberties with the world, bringing organic, plantinspired motifs and flowing, curvilinear forms to the art, architecture and applied arts of the time. Practitioners often turned to a highly stylized “nature” for inspiration. The concept was simple: Art should be everywhere. No longer saved for canvasses and granite, architecture, furniture, musical instruments, silverware — all became art, and was created accordingly. It was a way to make art part of ordinary, everyday life. It was a way to make the world more beautiful. An international movement, Art Nouveau has different names in different countries. It’s called Stile Liberty in Italy in reference to the English department store, Liberty and Company, which was famous for solid modern design. It also took different forms. In Italy, entire collections of decorative art were created with the flowing, botanical motifs and dynamic lines that have come to symbolize the style. In France and England, the poster art of the time exploded with Art Nouveau and was embraced immediately.
“In the late 15th century there was an artisan by the name of Mastro Giorgio who made famous the lustreware pieces currently produced and sold,” says Judith Winick, gallery director. “The Biagoli family are direct descendents from Mastro Giorgio. The family itself operates under the name La Mastro Giorgio.” Using the red clay that is abundant in the area, each piece is carefully wrought by hand, a technique used by the family for hundreds of years. Because of the history, there’s an inherent formal element to the work, which is as distinctive as it is popular. The work of painter Luciana Fumaria is featured in the Biagoli’s Stile Liberty collection. It’s the perfect marriage of the whimsy and playfulness of Art Nouveau with the family’s long-standing tradition of majolica using reproductions of 12th century glazes and techniques. Fumaria often incorporates fanciful foliage and LA MASTRO GIORGIO blooms into her bright work, which sets the In Gubbio, a walled, mountain village in scene for beautiful women who channel a Northern Umbria, the Biagoli Family (La Mastro Giorgio) continues in the centuries- fairy-like spirit. It’s summer incarnate, and very beautiful. long tradition of making lustreware majolica ceramics. – BY WREN WERTIN 24

L
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. Linda and Lee go from coast to coast with the Western States Horse ExpoShingle Springs, CA, The Phippen Museums Miniature Masterpieces in Prescott, AZ to the Addison Gallery, Orlean, Mass. which is on Cape Cod. Locally in Colorado is the Stampede Western Invitational Art Exhibit & Sale in Greeley, a demo-workshop July 19 at the Redstone Art Gallery and 26

featured artist for August’s First Friday in Carbondale at the Main Street Gallery. Loeschen will be judging the Glenwood Springs Fall Festival Art Show & Sale 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, 970-9273243, or contact any Colorado galleries representing her: Main Street Gallery (Carbondale and Glenwood Springs), Redstone Art Gallery (Redstone) and Spirits in the Wind (Golden).

rt, after all, is about rearranging us, creating surprising juxtapositions, emotional openings, startling presences, flight paths to the eternal. In the measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility you set the context and let life unfold.” (from The Art of Possibility) In the three - dimensional art world for which Toklat Gallery is known, a beautiful stone sculpture is created by chipping away at the stone to find the beauty that dwells within. As I have chipped away at my imaginary piece of stone, within the context of passion and possibility, I have assembled a new mix of art which is, in fact, somewhat of an historic mix. There will be more unique and functional small pieces of furniture along with petrified wood tables and exquisite, very large pieces of burled wood.

Game Table, By Tom Abbott A conversation piece. An end table. An artistic statement. And, a game table lurking underneath the scorpion sentinels. This table is all of these things, fashioned in a style reminiscent of Italian furniture through the use of marquetry and handmade trim. The primary woods are cherry and walnut with various veneers, and the joinery is traditional dovetail and mortise/tenon construction. The size is perfect for two people to sit with a glass of wine and compete in backgammon, checkers or chess. The drawer adds storage for game pieces, so that the table is simply a beautiful artistic piece when not in use.

W
hen defining the importance of art, gallery owner Ann Korologos says it best: “A gallery is a place where you can lose yourself and travel to the artist’s moment. Art brings out our humanness and our instincts for something greater than ourselves.” Her gallery, while focusing on contemporary western art, also heavily emphasizes that humanness. To Korologos, it is important for collectors to get to know artists personally. “One of our goals is for people to leave the gallery with a deeper understanding of art and artists.’’ In the gallery, collectors will find works of contemporary western art by internationally known artists such as Sarah Lamb, Dean Mitchell, Dan Namingha, Cheri Christensen, Michael Kessler, and Roseta Santiago. Regional favorites Elizabeth Sandia, Dan Young, Gregory Stocks, Jill Soukup, Nathan Solano, Peter Campbell, Dinah Worman, Heather Foster, Terry Gardner, Andy Taylor, Simon Winegar, Colin Poole, Joel Ostlind, Marie Wise, Leon Loughridge, Angus Wilson, and Brett Schleifflee are also exhibited. Their vibrant and stimulating work in the gallery ranges from traditional landscape and wildlife works to the abstract. Photographers Michael Fain, Sandra Lee Kaplan, Kathryn Rabinow and Tom C Korologos are also represented. The art of sculpture is represented by Gordon Gund, Veryl Goodnight, Immi Storrs, Neil Clifford, Janet Nelson, Michael Wisner, and Amy Laughesen. Korologos’ passion is connecting artists and collectors, and also bringing together thinkers,
writers and other cultural leaders in her gallery. As a cultural venue, the gallery’s annual summer art and literature series has hosted such respected writers as Walter Isaacson, Dr. Ben Carson and Secretary Madeline Albright. Korologos sums up her gallery: “We exhibit Western art, and artists influenced by the West. But we also know that the West is as varied as the landscape and the artists living here.”
