Tomás Lasansky sells major work in Great Falls
During March’s Western Art Week in Great Falls, Montana, a number of important pieces were sold during a show at the Hotel Arvon and Celtic Cowboy. One major highlight came from Bill Faust, owner of Faust Gallery in Arizona and New Mexico, when he sold a large mixed media work by Tomás Lasansky. Known for his large-scale portraits, Lasansky is collected at a high level by collectors who are drawn to contemporary American art, as well as Western imagery.
