Gallery One<\/a>‘s \u00a02011 Masterworks in Miniature.<\/p>\nNow in its 20th big year, Masterworks opens March 11\u00a0\u201cEach miniature is so special,\u201d said Alan Brown, Gallery One president,\u00a0 and demand is so intense that prospective buyers from throughout the world submit \u2018intent-to-purchase\u2019 forms in hopes of \u2018being drawn\u2019 to buy their favorites.”<\/p>\n
Such \u201cintents\u201d can be filed in person at Gallery One, in Mentor, Ohio ,where all of the works will be on exhibit until Saturday, March 26. Intents can also be filed by mail or over the web at www.galleryone.com where the entire collection can be viewed once the show opens. Winners of purchase rights will be drawn at the close of the event.<\/p>\n
While some Masterworks fit in the palm of one’s hand, others are as large as 9″ x 12.”\u00a0 A rare few may be a bit larger. Regardless of size, all are exquisitely detailed and represent the high quality expected of the individual artists.\u00a0 Genres include wildlife, portraiture, still life, landscape, western and fantasy.<\/p>\n
The artists are from all over the world. \u00a0\u201cWhen such top artists are \u2018forced\u2019 to work small, their prices become really affordable,\u201d said Brown.\u00a0 \u201cCollectors of limited editions often find that they can collect such miniatures for less than prints by the very same artists.\u201d\u00a0 That may explain why art lovers – and dealers – from all over the world vie for rights to such paintings.<\/p>\n
In 2010, Rebecca was awarded the Buyer’s Choice award among all of the work in the exhibition, voted by the most “intents”. \u00a0Rebecca’s sister, Bonnie Latham, was runner-up for the award.<\/p>\n
And how do collectors display the miniatures?\u00a0 Many find their way into wall groupings while others rest comfortably on small easels, bathed in lamplight.\u00a0 Some hang alone, featured above an interesting furniture item.\u00a0 Regardless of how they are used, they are perfect jewels.<\/p>\n
Gallery One is located at 7003 Center St. (Rt. 615), Mentor between Routes 90 and 2. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.\u00a0 In addition, Gallery One will be open until 9 p.m. on Fridays during the event. \u00a0\u00a0For additional information, call 800.621.1141 or visit www.galleryone.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
