Global Artists, Influential Galleries & Renowned Cultural Partners to Convene March 19 – 22, 2026, at WestWorld for the Biggest New American Major Art Fair in Decades
Works by some of the most influential artists of all time – including multiple seven-figure pieces - will draw serious collectors to Arizona this spring when Scottsdale Art Week presented by Scottsdale Ferrari returns to WestWorld March 19 – 22, 2026. From blue-chip pieces and Indigenous, Western and LatinX art to paintings, sculptures and mixed-media installations, the fair grants enthusiasts and collectors unprecedented access to a wide array of works rarely available in one setting.
Collectors will encounter pieces by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall, David Hockney, Alex Katz and Maynard Dixon, among many others, with more than 120 leading galleries from across the nation and around the world set to showcase their works in WestWorld’s expansive North Hall during the four-day fair.
Miami-based Robert Fontaine Gallery will occupy Booth C6 and showcase original works by Robert Rauschenberg, Pablo Picasso, Alex Katz and Cy Twombly, offering collectors access to rare, museum-caliber pieces.
New York-based Benrimon Editions (Booth D5) will exhibit art by the likes of Damien Hirst, Warhol, Yayoi Kusama and Julian Opie, while Poland’s Epicentrum Art Gallery will showcase works from the likes of Chagall, Picasso and Dali, among other major names.
London’s Blond Contemporary will also make a strong showing, bringing an array of sought-after works that span generations and disciplines. The gallery plans to present original works and prints by David Hockney, a striking shaped canvas by Sam Francis and a selection of Jonas Wood’s whimsical pot prints. The gallery will also exhibit an original Ed Ruscha work featuring racing drivers alongside several of his most celebrated prints from the 1960s, as well as new work by emerging artist Sophia Bounou and monumental American landscapes by James Vaulkhard.
Another notable highlight of Scottsdale Art Week’s second installment is the introduction of Gino Miles’ “Triumph,” a sculpture the artist started six years ago to keep his studio team busy during the COVID-19 pandemic and listed at $1 million. The largest piece Miles ever created, “Triumph” reflects 50 years of the artist’s persistence and growth and serves as a tribute to both his family and the collectors, professors, assistants and galleries that had a collective hand in shaping his career. A portion of the proceeds raised through the sale of “Triumph” support the efforts of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of the piece available here
Also joining the fair’s lineup of marquee works is “Maximus,” a 50-million-year-old fossil crocodile Logan, Utah’s Green River Fossil Company will bring to the market for $1.2 million. Measuring more than eight feet and preserved with remarkable skeletal detail, the apex predator appears in a custom framed mural presentation that positions the specimen as both scientific record and a large-scale wall installation.
Beyond the gallery presentations, Scottsdale Art Week will also feature a robust schedule of cultural programming in collaboration with Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona State University Art Museum, Heard Museum, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Center for Creative Photography, Denver Art Museum and Heritage Auctions. opics of interest and discussion include collecting strategies, global market trends, art collection care and preservation, and the intersection of art and design, among others.
The four-day fair opens with an Opening Night Vernissage sponsored by Gila River Resorts and Casinos set for 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Thursday, Mach 19 at WestWorld. The event, which benefits Phoenix Art Museum, gives attendees an opportunity to acquire works ahead of the public opening and features award presentations, live music by Lunar Calendar and a wearable-art runway show by Galina Mihaleva, from FIDM at Arizona State University.
“Today’s collectors want access to high-value works and knowledgeable perspectives, and Scottsdale Art Week delivers plenty of both,” said Amy Gause, director of Scottsdale Art Week. “This is an event that brings respected galleries, notable artists and trusted industry voices together in one place, giving enthusiasts ample opportunity to build and expand their collections.”
In addition to March being an ideal time for tourism in Scottsdale thanks to comfortable temperatures, numerous lodging opportunities and annual events like Major League Baseball’s spring training calendar, the city has also become the nation’s fastest-growing area for millionaires, giving galleries a chance to exhibit their works in front of an eager and affluent audience.
