The simple exterior of this gallery - housed in the historic c. 1880 Willi Spiegelberg House - gives no hint of the rich treasure trove inside. Known internationally for its extensive collection of American Modern, Historic New Mexican, Spanish Colonial and Pre-Columbian artworks, the Peyton Wright Gallery is presenting its 23rd Annual Exhibition - The Art of Devotion - Historic Art of the Americas - and it is gorgeous.
When you walk through the front door, this elaborate Spanish Colonial painting at the end of the long central gallery, commands your full attention. The gallery and the exhibit is a photographers dream. Thank you John Wright Schaefer for the free
reign with my camera!

The duality of the magnificent art in this gallery - one wing houses the vast collection of Historic Art of the Americas and the other American Modern Paintings and Sculpture - makes a visit all the more intriguing.
