Since 1973, Western artists and art collectors have gathered at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for Prix de West, the nation’s premier Western art exhibition and sale. The 2023 Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition & Sale, the 51st edition, will be on exhibit and open to the public from June 2 to August 6, with the Art Sale Weekend held June 9-10, 2023.

“Prix de West is such a significant event because it showcases diverse interpretations of the West by some of the most talented artists in the world,” Pat Fitzgerald, Cowboy Museum President and CEO, said. “Every work of art displayed in the show tells a story, and it’s amazing to see a visual representation of the artists’ experiences and relationship to this very special culture.”

2023 Prix de West features works ranging from historical subject matter that reflect the early days of the West, to more contemporary and impressionistic artistic expressions. Landscapes, wildlife art, and illustrative scenes are always highlighted in the exhibition. The highly anticipated annual exhibition and sale is the Museum’s largest annual fundraiser, hosting a live auction and a fixed-price art sale that helps to fund Museum exhibitions and family programming. In 2022, the Museum sold more than $4 million during the 50th Prix de West.

For the 2023 Prix de West, 92 artists are expected to attend, including new artists Daniel Keys, Don Oelze, Peregrine O’Gormley and Gladys Roldan-de-Moras. Art Sale Weekend will include artist seminars, workshops, a cocktail reception, a live auction and an awards dinner on Saturday, June 10.

Artist Steve Kestrel, who will return this year for his 30th Prix de West, was selected to design this year’s commemorative bolo, available for purchase at the Museum Store. This time-honored tradition is a favorite among attendees who proudly wear the bolo throughout the weekend.

Also available for purchase each year is the show catalog which includes art featured in the show and artist biographies.

Returning for the third time this year are virtual viewing and proxy bidding options for those who are unable to attend 2023 Prix de West in person.

For more information on the 51st annual Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition & Sale, to make reservations, see a full schedule of events, or arrange to bid by proxy, visit nationalcowboymuseum.org/prixdewest.

A CLASSIC Julian Onderdonk #texas #hillcountry #bl A CLASSIC Julian Onderdonk #texas #hillcountry #bluebonnets painting, “Near San Antonio” (1918) at @sama_art. I have long said my dream den has an Onderdonk #bluebonnet painting. A Texan, he nailed the “feel” as only someone passionate for and intimate with that landscape could.
Following the bluebonnet painting are others from Onderdonk including from his time in New York, which I knew nothing about.

McNay is one of my favorite small museums in the US, wonderful Modern art collection with MAJOR figures like these and many, many others (Hopper, Rivera, van Gogh, Gauguin, Modigliani, etc).

I see so much drama in this painting, so much certainty, confidence. Of all the past artists I could have met, @helenfrankenthalerfoundation would be high on the list.

OVERWHELMED by this exhibition of #purvisyoung art OVERWHELMED by this exhibition of #purvisyoung artwork on view at @tampamuseumofart! 
What most caught my eye were all the 18-wheelers. Are these a reference to “urban renewal” and the siting of I-95 through the heart of Young’s #overtown #miami neighborhood. 
As occurred across America during 1950s-80s, so-called urban renewal was a tactic used by white politicians to destroy thriving Black communities by running interstates through them to aide white suburbanites in getting to jobs in town faster.
Young experienced Overtown on both sides of #urbanrenewal and I can’t help thinking all these trucks are commentary on I-95.
