- Lot Description
Andy Taylor (American, b. 1949). "Antelope House" oil on canvas, ca. 1983 to 1986, Signed on upper right. A monumental landscape painting by American artist Andy Taylor depicting an overlook of the ancient Anasazi ruins of Antelope House in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. Taylor captured the natural beauty of this mystical place with his signature gestural style and colorful palette of tangerine, fuchia, scarlet, spring green, turquoise, violet, lavender, magenta, salmon, and creamy white hues. Some have compared his hard-edged style to that of the legendary Georgia O'Keeffe. The Antelope House Ruin complex is comprised of two main building areas that border a central plaza. It was inhabited by the Kayenta Anasazi Indians from about 1050 to 1270 CE. Scholars believe that this complex once included more than 91 rooms and rose 4 stories high. Taylor's awe-inspiring birdseye view pays homage to the history held within the sandstone walls of Antelope House, an ancient treasure of the American Southwest. Size: 41.875" L x 66.125" W (106.4 cm x 168 cm) Size of frame: 42.875" L x 67.375" W (108.9 cm x 171.1 cm)
Andy Taylor studied at Colorado College (BA cum laude, 1971) and he has lived and painted in Carbondale, Colorado since 1975. Taylor has had solo exhibitions at Ann Korologos Gallery, Basalt Gallery, Western Colorado Center for the Arts, Grand Junction and more. His work has also been featured in the Coors Western Art Exhibition; the Biennial at the Loveland Museum; the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio; Four Corners States Biennial; Roaring Fork Annual at Aspen Art Museum, and the list goes on.
Andy Taylor's Artist Statement: "For almost forty years (now nearly 50 years) I have lived in Carbondale, Colorado. Most of my art world exists within a day's drive: the 250 miles to the north, south and west, across the Colorado Plateau, with its spectacular canyons, high plains, distant mesas, skinny rivers, and infrequent trees and sundry shrubbery. I love it: the colors, the shapes, the weather, and the occasional place where water changes everything. For me painting is about exploration and discovery: exploring different ways of seeing or different ways of expressing what I see and discovering what I want to paint and discovering things as I paint. And, if successful, the result is hopefully an engaging visual treat." (artist's website) For further information about Andy Taylor, please read "Andy Taylor paints his journey through the Southwest" by Elizabeth L. Delaney - Southwest Art - December 15, 2017
Please note: This painting was purchased at Kyle Belding Gallery, Denver, Colorado in the 1980s and has been in a private Colorado collection every since. It was among the largest works Taylor was producing at the time, and values for his paintings were directly related to their dimensions. Currently, Andy Taylor paintings of this size sell for $9,000 to $10,000.
Provenance: private Eagle, Colorado, USA collection, acquired in the 1980s
