Modern West is pleased to collaborate with the St. George Museum of Art in traveling our exhibition Unbound: Art of the West.
Works from our MW artists will be on view at the museum March 28-May 30, 2026.
Unbound: Art of the West is a traveling exhibition curated by Modern West Fine Art in Salt Lake City, Utah, featuring established and emerging artists who, in varied and compelling ways, reframe our understanding of the West. Looking to modernists such as Louis Ribak and Beatrice Mandelman, who left behind their New York City lifestyle to pursue abstraction in the vast Western landscape, to contemporary artists such as Angela Ellsworth and Billy Schenck, who redefined the visual language and expectations of Western art, the exhibition is inspired by works that push the parameters of what art has been, and how it can move forward –– it is ambitious, inspiring and unbound.
Featured artists include Shonto Begay, Michael Coles, Shalee Cooper, Angela Ellsworth, Phil Epp, Kiki Gaffney, Sheldon Harvey, Suzanne Hill, Jim Jacobs, Lenka Konopasek, Beatrice Mandelman, Arlo Namingha, Kevin Red Star, Louis Ribak, Billy Schenck, Woody Shepherd, Ben Steele, Eugene Tapahe and Mike Whiting.
All artworks are available for acquisition through Modern West Fine Art. Visit the St. George Museum of Art Monday-Saturday 10 AM-6 PM at 47 E 200 N, St. George, UT 84770.
