Jane Sauer Gallery is known for its fine reputation among art admirers, collectors, museum curators, art critics, and artists.  Jane brings to the gallery 34 years of wide experience as a highly recognized professional in art.  She is known nationally by museum curators and collectors for her work as an innovative studio artist, and is often requested to serve as guest judge or curator for exhibitions.  Artists and collectors throughout the country continue to seek her advice and to remember her for her continuous activism in promotion of the arts.  Some of the boards she has served on include:

National Advisory Board to the Washington University School of Art,

St. Louis, Missouri

Friends of Contemporary Art, New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe

Studio Art Quilts Association

Craft Emergency Relief Fund

American Craft Council, serving as Chair from 1997-2000

Jane brings her lifelong experience, training, and artistic eye to bear on the selection of artists she represents in the gallery.   Her selection process is rigorous:  “I seek to present work that is conceptually sound, meaningful, and captures the essence of intellect and creativity.  Although each work must be technically accomplished, I look for a quality in the work that reveals ‘the hand of the artist.’”  

Jane’s significant reputation as artist and gallerist is a draw to artists with established national and international credentials.  Over three-quarters of the gallery artists have artworks represented in permanent museum collections.  The gallery has placed work in prestigious public spaces, private collections, and respected museums.

Throughout her long career, Jane Sauer has been at the forefront in supporting creative artists who are not limited--in their vision or in the materials they use: 

 “The field of art is ever-expanding, limited only by the range of the human imagination.  Contemporary artists are redefining our notion of art, creating a fluid field that is not tied to traditionally recognized techniques or media.”

HISTORY OF THE GALLERY

What is now Jane Sauer Gallery was formerly Thirteen Moons Gallery, founded by Mary Anhaltzer in 1999 to promote the work of contemporary art quilters.  Mary was a prolific art quilter and strong promoter of the work of women.  She unexpectedly died on July 20, 2001.  While saddened by her loss, we trust that her positive energy will continue to be felt by all those whose lives she touched directly and indirectly. The gallery has benefited from Mary’s vision and generosity of spirit, and will continue to grow and honor the work of artists as a memorial to what Mary began at 652 Canyon Road.
