"Nikolai Blokhin, Walt Gonske, Alyce Frank, Jerry Jordan, Zhiwei Tu and Bill Acheff have all committed major pieces to the auction, and we expect to have more than one hundred pieces before the Gala."
Tickets start at $175 and may be purchased in advance at the museum. Items may be viewed beginning mid July in the Fechin Studio or by clicking here. Arrangements for phone−in auction bids can be made by contacting 575.758.2690 x 4.
Background
The Taos Art Museum is housed in the home of Nicolai Fechin (Fechin House), who with his family moved to Taos in 1927. Born in Russia, Fechin is one of the most important portrait painters of the 20th Century. His paintings of Native Americans and of the New Mexico desert landscape are considered among his best works.
The Taos Art Museum is located just two blocks from the Historic Taos Plaza, at 227 Paseo del Pueblo Norte in Taos, New Mexico. For more information call 575.758.2690.
