We are pleased to announce our inclusion in The Culture Trip’s list of top 10 Aspen art galleries. For more than 20 years, Ann Korologos Gallery has been the premier source for contemporary Western Art. An anticipated experience for visitors of the Roaring Fork Valley. The spacious gallery is located just downstream of Aspen in the charming town of Basalt. Local and national painters, sculptors, printmakers, mixed-media artists, and photographers tell the stories of the American West through their work.
The Ann Korologos Gallery gives nuance to the idea of ‘Western art’, tapping into the American West and frontier culture as an inspiration for their collections. Focused on American artists working across various media from painting and photography to sculpture and print-making, Ann Korologos Gallery is an unmissable, distinctively Coloradan bulwark of the Rocky Mountains’ arts scene. Located outside of Aspen in the small town of Basalt, numerous artists featured at the gallery channel the town’s idyllic surroundings into their artistic vision, with particular reference to the town’s reputation as a mountain fishing Mecca.
