Director’s Choice • At the heart of a gallery are its owners and directors who curate the roster of artists whose works fill its walls and pedestals. In this promotional spotlight, our editor worked with the galleries to feature creatives living in the American Southwest or specializing in art of the genre. The work highlights the breadth of what is available in the art market today.

Artist's Choice • To mark our annual Collector’s Issue, this special advertising section is a way to celebrate the signature styles, subject matter and techniques of the artists featured. Every artist creating work today has an individual point of view and way of expression that is reflected through every brushstroke or form of clay. It is their works that keep the market moving forward, so take a look and find something that will enhance your collection.
