INDIANAPOLIS — The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art will feature an all-new virtual format during its 15th annual Quest for the West Art Show and Sale, Sept. 11-12. A newly redeveloped website, quest.eiteljorg.org, is the hub of information for the two-day sale of top-quality Western American art, along with artist information and engaging digital extras.
The Quest for the West Art Show and Sale will feature nearly 200 new artworks by 50 of today’s top artists specializing in Western-inspired paintings, landscapes and sculptures. Instead of the traditional on-site, in-person sale, the Eiteljorg this year will host the new online sale format, where collectors will view the available artworks online, enjoy personalized concierge service and then place their bids during the fixed-price, luck-of-the-draw virtual sale.
With the new format, the registration fee to enter the online sale and place bids is $25, an affordable price for first-time bidders who are starting their art-collecting journey, or seasoned collectors seeking the right piece. All registrants will have access to an Eiteljorg concierge service that can assist them with bids and other questions. To register, visit quest.eiteljorg.org.
A popular feature of Quest for the West is returning in virtual form: the Quest Miniature Art Sale, held Friday Sept. 11, the night before the main sale. For the Friday sale, the artists create smaller, more affordable versions of their paintings and sculptures, which are prized both by new collectors and by experienced collectors who have no more room for large pieces and want something smaller.
