Legacy For Lu 2018

11/17/2018

We have a dozen paintings by the late Lu Haskew never before shown at Columbine Gallery on display, this week only. We hope you'll come by Saturday for our annual Legacy For Lu event 11-4.

Purchasing artwork this week gives back to the community with proceeds going to the Thompson Education Foundation's Lu Haskew Endowment for the Arts Fund, infusing art classrooms with additional resources.

Can't make it? You can donate to the endowment online... click here

We’ve created a sliding door to close off the main gallery when our new neighbors are open while we are away.

Berkshire Hathaway moves in upstairs this week! The upstairs gallery is now officially closed. We welcome them to the space and look forward to this new phase.

Not to worry, we still have all our 45 artist’s artwork on display, and we think the gallery and garden look better than ever.

The middle portion of this door is by Tal Walton and his father and is available as a functioning door, just have to add the barn door track.... let us know if you’d like it.

Shop online, or stop by and see all the changes we’ve made.

Collector's Corner : Metal Costs

4/30/2018

0 Comments

You may already be aware that the price of bronze has been increasing for several years due to global demand for copper. Recently, all metals are on the rise... this means your favorite artwork prices will increase too. Because we bid a lot of large-scale public art, we've been watching this very closely; we've already seen an over 15% increase in material costs since December.

While the value of an artist's work befittingly goes up throughout their career, a large factor of pricing is the cost of materials the artwork is fabricated from. Our artists absorb as much of these material cost increases as possible, when it's no longer feasible, the only choice is a price change. That's actually good news for collectors - the value of your collection goes up with each increase.

Much of the art we show is made from Bronze, Steel and Aluminum, therefore...
Our recommendation to you, the collector, is to lock in the price of that piece you've been eyeing before the next bump. Place an order with a 50% deposit and you can pay the balance over time (up to 6 months). Many sculptures may need to be cast/fabricated requiring weeks to months before it can ship anyway.

If you are placing an Order's Only purchase online, we will contact you with details of when to expect your artwork. If the artwork will take more than 2 weeks to fabricate/cast/create, we will adjust your payment to reflect only the required deposit and charge the balance with a series of smaller monthly charges, or with a single payment prior to shipping depending upon your preference.
