This is the gallery that will change your view of Western art. An extraordinary and beautifully curated collection at prices to make you swoon.By appointment only for our visit, well worth the effort.

If I were purchasing an original Southwestern piece in more traditional colors for a Ranch this would be my go to art gallery while in Santa Fe (and I went into a lot of them). Loved the art and this quiet approachable shop. It reminded me of some of the art I have seen at Frank Phillip's Woolaroc Museum in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. This is a must for an art lover. The shop is located in an area where parking is tricky because of all the art galleries and people draw. Go early for best parking.

We just walk a little bit up The Compound parking lot incline up to Canyon Road and find ourselves looking at great art. Today they had a Nicolai Fechin on their wall that was an eye catcher as soon as we walked in the front door. While looking at pieces that were Price on Request, we found a few that were reasonable and within our normal price range for purchase of art works. The owner told us that he only carried one living artist, Joeanna Arnett, and these were some that we were looking at. We ( shall I say she ) decided that her favorite was different than mine and a few hundred dollars more. To get to the point, it will be Fed Ex that delivers it next Tuesday. After we return home. Now all that is needed is to find and possibly move some pieces around to find exactly the right place for our newest art work.

Richard Lampert is a gracious host and offers a fantastic time in his gallery. My organization brought an oversees art collector to the gallery. She was very impressed with the presentation and pleasantly surprised that the owner is friendly with some of her art contacts elsewhere.

I saw the Adobe Ranch house look of the front of this gallery including colorful ristras hanging on the walls then decided to give it a look. It described itself as displaying early artists. What it had was some of the most amazing paintings I have ever seen from the 1850 - 1950 period. Admittedly the prices will be far out of most peoples range basically $20000 - $300,000, but it is a must see museum and if you can afford this art a major find! Clark Hulings striking oil of a Mexican cowboy coming home to his humble casa was one of the many beautiful pieces I loved. Highly, highly recommended.
