FaraHNHeight Fine Art — Attraction in Santa Fe

Run, don't walk to FaraHNHeight Fine Art in Taos, NM. If you are a local and haven't been in yet, finish those enchiladas at Michael's Kitchen (which happens to be practically across the street) and stop in to check out their extensive collection of Contemporary Native Art truly rooted in time and place. If you are visiting from as near as Santa Fe or as far as Germany (where Native Art is extremely popular), this place is a "must." Though relatively new on the scene, this gallery features everything from jewelry and pottery to large scale paintings and sculpture from both established artists and relative newcomers. It is obvious that the gallery director Greg Farah, knows the native art scene backwards and forwards and is approaching this genre in a new and interesting way. He is knowledgeable about not only the art displayed in the gallery, but about its context and place in the art historical canon. I spent a lot of time looking at the featured show in the open, airy, large gallery to the rear of the building. This space mostly features one or more contemporary native artists that really shine in what they do. With a decidedly more "street art" appeal, the art of Jaycee Beyale with its central figures surrounded by brightly colored intersecting rectangles and lines reminded me of Russian Constructivism mixed with the modern portraiture of another featured artist (and mostly muralist) Nani Chacon. One thing about the entire space that really stood out to me was the use of intense and bright colors in much of the contemporary works - it makes for a space that is both intellectually stimulating and visually exciting. The prices listed on all of the items I thought I might like to buy in the gallery were beyond reasonable for the beauty and uniqueness of the art featured there. Ultimately, the gallery director said he would work with me on the prices of the many things I liked. I'll definitely be back in for that Navajo ring and some of the gorgeous original prints I was admiring. And I'll certainly be suggesting FaraHNHeight Fine Art to my friends, family, and anyone that intends to visit Taos, NM, although it is definitely worth a...

We first saw this gallery in Madrid, NM and we were blown away. The owner, Greg, has an amazing eye for finding fun and contemporary Native American pieces. The artwork is youthful and vibrant. When we heard he had another galley in Santa Fe (by apt only) we immediately booked an appointment and we were excited to see the Madrid vibe extended to Santa Fe but with so much more inventory. Greg led us from room to room showing us some amazing work and giving us the educational tour we were hoping for. He and his staff are so knowledgeable and it’s clear that he has so much love and passion for the native community and their art. Visiting the gallery will not only give you an amazing cultural experience but you will more than likely find something that you can not live with out and it will remind you of you of your southwestern experience daily. We found a few pieces and Greg was willing to give us a great discount since we were buying a few. He is also so knowledgeable about Santa Fe and Madrid and can make some amazing recommendations. I will visit these spots every time I am lucky enough to go back. Two very...

I am a repeat client of FaraHNHeight Fine Art. The gallery carries some of the most exciting contemporary Native art available today, and is the main reason why I have purchased there. The first purchase was a commissioned work by Craig George; the second was a purchase of an oil by Orlando Allison, part of the exciting Sovereign exhibition the gallery organizes annually in Santa Fe. Each transaction was very professional; in the case of the commissioned work, the gallery worked closely with artist and client to ensure clear communication throughout the creative process. I am thrilled with the outcome, and would highly recommend the gallery to anyone interested in...
