For the 24th year in a row, the Autry Museum of the American West is hosting [*Masters of the American West*](https://masters.theautry.org/?ref=hyperallergic.com), an art sale of paintings and sculptures by contemporary Western artists. The event launches this Saturday, February 27 with a special sale of charming miniature paintings, the smallest of which measures just six by six inches.

The miniature paintings, which have been a popular tradition of the sale since 2005, are at a slightly more affordable price, ranging between $800 and $8,000\. For those aiming to go bigger, the Major Works Art Sale launches Saturday, March 13, with works selling for anywhere between $5,000 and $100,000.

Amy Scott, a curator at the Autry and the executive vice president for Research and Interpretation, says the works featured in *Masters* depict "classic frontier stories" and "contemporary Native visions," all in service of celebrating "the history and contemporary beauty of the West." Expect paintings of trout streams and sun-drenched deserts, portraits of majestic horses and Native American Chiefs, and lovely sculptures of crawfish and prickly pear trees.
