Old West art revival draws artists to Arizona
Johnny Hampton of Scottsdale leads Cowboy Artists of America as Western art enjoys a revival beyond novels. The group showcased in Oklahoma City and at the Cowboy Hall of Fame sees past works valued at 125000 to 150000, while Dean Krakel notes a dealer’s long term resale plan. Hampton predicts Arizona becoming the West’s art hub as collectors winter here and artists relocate.
