Santa Fe: Art
I really got to liking Santa Fe in our limited time to visit. In fact, I liked it so much that I resolved to take my wife back there as soon as I returned. What follows is my story of why I liked it so much, and why you might too. First and foremost are the art galleries. So many interesting works are on display here. I was told that Santa Fe was recently listed as the third largest art market after New York and LA. Of course, even if Chicago is ahead of them, and it seems likely, Santa Fe is still a major market with over 60 galleries.
Here are a few of the pieces I liked:
This piece was wondefully intricate, and done by one of Chihuly's artisans.
