Collector’s Focus: Into the Wilderness

Now in its sixth edition in the February issue is the annual special section Collector’s Focus: Into the Wilderness, which is devoted to the lands of the West and the creatures that reside in them. The beauty of nature will be on full view as we look at historic and contemporary artists who have been captivated by the raw power of America’s wilderness. Subjects will include landscapes and images of wildlife, but also artworks that combine the two and offer a stunning look into the untamed beauty of the American West. Readers will see critters in desert landscapes, elk in snowy meadows, bears wading through salmon-filled streams and other scenes showing places where wildlife and nature collide together in spectacular ways. For the February issue, walk with us Into the Wilderness.

State of the Art: California

The Golden State is calling in the February issue of Western Art Collector. Join us as we go as far west as the West will let us when we return to California. Known for its rich beauty across a variety of biomes, California not only has deserts and sage-strewn valleys, but also dense forests, snow-topped peaks and an enchanting coastline. From the large cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, to the smaller destinations of Carmel-by-the-Sea and Palm Desert, the state of California boasts a diverse array of Western events, museums, galleries and talented artists. Join us this February in our State of the Art: California feature as we highlight this Western art hub that has a long history that should excite collectors.
