Martin Grelle sells top work at Settlers West show
On February 11, Settlers West Gallery presented the annual American Miniatures show of small works in Tucson, Arizona. These popular and well-attended shows often bring out hundreds of collectors and artists to celebrate the opening. The show hangs for several weeks after it opens, but most of the action takes place the night of the by-draw sale. This year’s show featured a number of noteworthy sales, but none as big as Martin Grelle’s 12-by-12-inch painting Uneasy Crossing, which sold for $12,000.
