Nebraska Art Gallery
Mark Dahle is opening a 10,000 square foot art gallery in Red Cloud, Nebraska.
You can visit the gallery while renovations are underway.
The gallery is quite a ways from any major airport, so be sure to bring snacks for the road trip.
Photographs
Photographs are often printed without restraint. Mark Dahle photographs are different.
Each Mark Dahle photograph is printed in an edition of one, meaning that each is a unique work of art.
Photographs in Mark's Endangered Photos series have been examples of this policy as are the photographic artworks in the series of 1000 Mops.
In 2022, Mark expanded this policy to include all his photographic works. This means there will only be one Fine Art Edition available of each Mark Dahle Portfolio.
Portfolios
Mark Dahle Portfolios feature the image of a colorful painting, 20 or more beautiful photographs, and an engaging story or commentary.
Thought-provoking and beautiful, Mark Dahle Portfolios can be read in a few minutes and then enjoyed for a lifetime.
The mass market editions of the portfolios are individually dated, giving collectors bragging rights and something to show people who acquire their copies later.
A single Fine Art Edition will be created of each portfolio.
See our complete list of all Mark Dahle Portfolios.
Art Vacations
Get a head start on planning your trip to the 60th Venice Biennale. Check out our report on what to expect in 2024 as well as highlights from prior years.
If you like modern and contemporary art, don't miss Miami Art Week and Art Basel Miami Beach. This is the biggest collection of contemporary art anywhere in the world, currated by hundreds of art galleries appearing in more than a dozen art fairs.
Other recommended art vacations include trips to Art Basel, Switzerland, and to New York, especially during Frieze or Armory Week.
Or if you want something different, you might check out ArtPrize, a social experiment that gets a community to be in conversation with art and art professionals.
Art Talks
Invite Mark Dahle to your group to give a fascinating (and helpful!) presentation on art.
Presentations you can choose from include:
What Makes Art Valuable
This entertaining talk helps you understand current prices for contemporary art – and how a painting can be worth more than $100 million.
Frauds and Thieves
Even Michelangelo tried to cheat people at the start of his career by selling things he had carved and pretending they were antiquities. Become aware of some of the pitfalls of collecting in this entertaining lecture.
Questions Every Art Collector Needs To Ask Before Investing In Art
A few questions will help art investors avoid traps that have caused other collectors and art institutions to lose their investments (and their art!). Some of these are traps that you may not hear about from your art dealer.
1,000 Mops
Mark Dahle says, “When I visited China a couple years ago, I saw mops everywhere. I started taking pictures of them; I thought I might do a series. But I wasn’t in China long enough, so I decided instead to create a thousand artworks based on one mop.”
The artworks in this series invite conversations about what makes things seem related and what makes them different, what constitutes "family" and "individual."
Mops are available as individual mops, as an unbroken series of 10 Mops and as an unbroken series of 99 Mops.
Endangered Photos
Mark Dahle's Endangered Photos are one-of-a-kind works of art. Subjects of the Endangered Photos currently include telephone poles, train cars, hay bales, and railroad ties.
Mark Dahle Art Museums
It's too early to predict how or when the five Mark Dahle Art Museums will be built.
Perhaps they will only exist as conceptual artwork, a collection of sketches, paintings and the like.
Or perhaps they will be developed as a Virtual Reality experience that anyone with an internet connection can visit.
Or, perhaps, they will exist in a physical location with heat and air conditioning and working toilets and a gigantic staff and lots of other items Mark may not be that great about coordinating.
You can check out their progress on our Mark Dahle Art Museums page.
