Columbine Gallery Art Happenings - COLUMBINE GALLERY

Celebrating Machicado

7/25/2018

08/02/2018 UPDATE: We just learned that Juan de la Cruz passed away last night. We are turning our already planned feature exhibit of his artwork into a Tribute to Juan de la Cruz Machicado and his contributions as an artist. His gentle spirit will live on through his paintings. Any unsold paintings will be returned to Peru after the show at the family's request. We feel this may be the last chance to see his work exhibited in the US and hope you'll take advantage to view it here this August, and add a piece of this cherished artist to your collection. #CelebratingMachicado

Our August feature has arrived! Over a dozen large-scale paintings by our Peruvian artist Juan de la Cruz Machicado will be displayed in the second floor gallery through the month of August. Add one of these vibrant Big Paintings to your collection this August and we will cover the shipping. Just enter code: BigPaintAugust when ordering online. Please join us during our Garden Party August 10-12 as we celebrate our 26th National Sculptors Guild Sculpture Show featuring our 22 sculptors plus 22 painters at Columbine Gallery in the NSG Sculpture Garden.

Collector's Corner : Metal Costs

4/30/2018

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.
