F
rom the new Aspen Art Museum to the myriad of local artists whose abundance of talent and creativity flow through the valley, we are blessed to be surrounded by such a tremendous level of imaginative sophistication. From fine photography and oil paintings to ceramics
and lacquered abstracts, visitors and residents alike are immersed in diverse artwork in one of the world’s most spectacular settings. This year’s Art in Aspen holds a special place in the hearts of all of us at
The Aspen Times and in the Aspen community who knew and loved our
Design Team Supervisor Afton Groepper Publication Art Director Darin Bliss Design Team Malisa Samsel Carly Hoover Ashley Detmering
late publisher, Gunilla Asher. Last year, Gunilla commissioned her sister and local artist, Linda Israel, to paint an “Aspen Times Bear.” Gunilla did not live to see the bear come alive when it was finished and hung in our beautiful new conference room. She would have loved him. In her honor, The Aspen Times has established a scholarship fund – The Gunilla Israel Asher Scholarship Fund – to help Aspen youth pursue educational endeavors after high school. The corpus for this fund will be raised through the sale of 100 limited edition giclees of “G a Bear.” Information about the bear and how to purchase one is located on page 33. I encourage you to spend some time in the pages of Art in Aspen. You will be taken aback by the talent that exists in our little corner of the world. I challenge you to think differently about art – visit a gallery you’ve not experienced, attend an artist reception and get to know a talented local, or bring a group of friends to a trunk show. The opportunity to engage with the art community is tremendous and you’ll be glad that you did. Samantha Johnston General Manager

P
eter Lik is a leader in the world of fine art photography. For decades, his name has been synonymous with pristine landscape images of cascading waterfalls, ethereal mountain peaks and peaceful desert canyons. Opened in 2008, LIK ASPEN is one of 14 locations around the country, showcasing some of Peter‘s most impressive masterworks. The gallery’s interior warmly welcomes guests with its impressive stone fireplace and reclaimed wood ceiling. Local-themed landscapes line the walls—from majestic visions of the Maroon Bells to Peter‘s enormous 10‘ LIK EPIC of Aspen’s birch trees in “Yellow.” Such exceptional work can only be attributed to a photographer with innate talent and passion. Born in Melbourne, Australia to hardworking
Czech immigrants, Peter never took the gift of life‘s beauty for granted. Since his first, fateful snapshot of a spider web at the age of 8, Peter has followed his calling to capture and share the most beautiful places on earth. During a trip to the United States in 1984, Peter discovered the medium format camera, a defining moment for the accredited Master Photographer. In the years since, countless awards, exhibitions at the Smithsonian, and record-breaking sales have all marked an extraordinary career in landscape photography. Surrounded by 3,000-foot mountains on all sides, LIK ASPEN is perfectly nestled in the “downtown core,” near Restaurant Row in the historic Isis building. Visit LIK ASPEN today, and discover the world through the lens of Peter Lik.

LES CIGARETTES MEKKA Charles Loupot, c.1919, Switzerland, 36 x 51 3/4” This Mekka Cigarettes poster is a haunting, decadent design that exudes the opulence and exoticism of the Middle East combined with the leisurely luxury of smoking. This is one of Loupot’s most evocative posters. CAFE PRECIA Charles Loupot, c.1929, France, 23 5/8 x 31 1/4” This design by Charles Loupot is a bold, primitive Art Deco graphic.

ART IN ASPEN // WINTER 2014
hese posters were created by Charles Loupot. When he finished art school in Lyon in 1913, the first wave of French poster art was already history. Toulouse-Lautrec had died in 1901, Alfonse Mucha had left Paris, Eugene Grasset was almost forgotten and Cheret, the father of color lithography, was reported to be fed up with designing posters. There was yet no indication of a second, equally strong wave, and that Loupot would be one of it’s leading figures, together with Cassandre, Carlu and Colin. In 1916, when Loupot was seriously wounded fighting for France in the First World War, he returned to his parent’s house in Lausanne, Switzerland, to recuperate. During his convalescence, he was employed by a printing company where he studied lithography. In 1923, he
left Lausanne for Paris, where in 1925 he exhibited in the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs, from which the term “Art Deco” was coined to denote the emerging style. This was the MOMENT of Art Deco! For this important event, Loupot was asked to create a poster for the exhibition. His fame grew and new commissions flowed from fashion, luxury goods, automobiles, etc. making it clear that his elegant and colorful designs were highly desired. By 1923 his reputation had reached Paris and he left Lausanne. Upon arriving in Paris, he quickly solidified his position as one of the great graphic designers of the Twentieth Century. The omnibus Gallery has the largest collection of Loupot’s work for sale in the world. Or better said, we have more than all of the other galleries combined.

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 small ranch in Emma, outside of Basalt. His work shirt hanging on a fencepost, his old scruffed boots and cowboy hats soon became source material for her paintings. Soon her paintings evolved to include all things western with a contemporary twist. She is presently juxtaposing geometric lines, interspersing the organic

shapes of nature. This is representing the limitations that man and his world are imposing on a way of life soon to be lost. The days of the “Wild West” are quickly disappearing with the ubiquitous presence of cell phones, GPS and satellites tracking our every move. We’re even tracking wildlife and relocating these animals according to human needs. We’re arranging earth into a regulated and contrived system that works for the convenience of man’s appetite. This coming year, Loeschen has been invited to show her work at the popular western collectors auction and show held at the CM Russell Museum, Great Falls, Montana. Her image “Across Time” will be auctioned at the show. Other upcoming shows include the Mountain Oyster Club, Tucson, Arizona and the Phippen Museum’s “Miniature Masterpieces”, Prescott, Arizona. Locally her work can be seen at Main Street
Gallery & Framers in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs, Redstone Art Gallery and Spirits in the Wind, Golden, Colorado. 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 won Best of Show this year at the Pearce Museum’s “A New Look at the West” show, Corsicana, Texas. She also won Best in Show and Best Watercolor at the Annual National Western Fine Art Exhibition and Sale in San Dimas, California. Loeschen has been chosen to be the poster artist for several western events including Telluride’s Wild West Fest; Durango’s Cowboy Gathering; Billings, Montana’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).

ver his 35-year career, Albert Sanford, owner of Galerie Maximillian, has always held true to one principle 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 Sanford’s high standards that make Galerie Maximillian one of Aspen’s finest.

ART IN ASPEN // WINTER 2014
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 18 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 almost weekly during the high seasons, so it is virtually guaranteed that you will see something new every time you visit. Opening December 27th-March 31st, Eye Candy: Prints by Wayne Thiebaud and other Modern & Contemporary Artists, will feature an extensive collection of early works by Wayne Thiebaud, including his candy apples, chocolate cake and lemon meringue pie. Visual delights by other Modern and Contemporary Artists will include vibrant,
textural monoprints by Mel Bochner; iconic spot & butterfly projects by Damien Hirst; Anish Kapoor’s colorful, seductive engravings and the lush, layered, imagery of Brazilian superstar Beatriz Milhazes. She is having her first major US retrospective at the Perez Museum (PAMM) in Miami, FL through January 11th. Eye Candy, will also include works by internationally renowned artists: Donald Baechler, Chuck Close, John Chamberlain, Roy Lichtenstein, Takashi Murakami, Michael Craig-Martin, Yoshitoma Nara and Tom Wesselmann. Over the past several decades, Aspen has attracted a strong contingent of skiing and art enthusiasts from Brazil. This January, we welcome back our Brazilian friends with a groundbreaking show of artists they know, love and have shared with the world. The show entitled Southern Exposure: 5 Brazilian Artists, opening January 16th – February 15th, will feature works by Leda Catunda, Mila Mayer, Beatriz Milhazes, Daniel Senise and Vik Muniz. Brazil’s booming contemporary art scene has more than its fair share of talented painters and influential photographers—these five compatriots are ample proof. Great style, lively color and a carnival atmosphere heats up our coldest month, transforming the gallery yet again and bringing a bit of Brazil’s lively culture to Aspen this winter for all of us to admire and celebrate.

hen defining the importance of art and artists, gallery owner Ann Korologos says it best: “A gallery is a place where you can lose yourself in your own moment and travel to the artist’s moment. Art brings out our humanness and our instincts for something greater than ourselves.” Her gallery, while it focuses on contemporary Western art, also heavily emphasizes that humanness. To Korologos, it is important for art lovers to get to know artists personally. “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 Michael Kessler, Sarah Lamb, Dean Mitchell, Dan Namingha, and Roseta Santiago. Regional favorites Terry Gardner, Leon Loughridge, Jill Soukup, Andy Taylor, Michael Wisner, Dinah Worman and Dan Young are also exhibited. Their vibrant and stimulating artwork ranges from traditional landscape and wildlife painting to the abstract. The art of sculpture is represented by Neil Clifford, Veryl Goodnight, Gordon Gund, Amy Laugesen, Lloyd Schermer and Immi Storrs.
24
ART IN ASPEN // WINTER 2014
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. As a cultural venue, the gallery’s 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.”

Casterline Goodman specializes in post-war and contemporary art.

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.” 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.”

Limited Edition “G a Bear” Giclee, 30” x 30.” Original artwork by Linda Israel.
IN THE SPIRIT OF OUR BELOVED LATE PUBLISHER
Gunilla Asher The Aspen Times has created a scholarship fund – The Gunilla Israel Asher Scholarship Fund – to support the future educational endeavors of Aspen students. Gunilla originally commissioned her sister, Linda Israel, to paint an “Aspen Times Bear” to be displayed in the new Aspen Times office. We, with the support of Linda Israel, have decided to sell 100 giclees of the original painting as a means to fund the scholarship. “G a Bear” embodies all that was Gunilla: beauty, tenacity, strength, power and mystery. “G a Bear” is available for purchase for $1,000 by contacting Samantha Johnston at The Aspen Times at 970-925-3414 or by email at sjohnston@aspentimes.com.

Judith Ann Creations I paint on glass and then shatter it to give each painting an appearance of pointillism or cubism. This creates a unique perspective for every painting. The thousands of fractured pieces in a confined space become a cohesive whole. This whole represents how I envision the world; complex yet simultaneously simple.
