Tai Pan Trading is the premier spot to go for design in Utah. Crafts, art, woodwork, and holiday design fills the warehouse, and it's a delight to wander, especially at Christmas. We'll likely revisit that soon. What caught my idea today on my lunch break, though, was the Twiggs and Moore Art Gallery, located near the back and toward the middle of the store. It's partitioned off from the rest of the store, and features mostly religious artwork in limited edition ciglee prints. Twiggs and Moore at Tai Pan's 90th South location in Sandy is currently selling off much of their artwork, as the gallery will be closing at the end of December.
Here's the part where it gets really good: world renowned painter James C Christensen, a Utah native, is my favorite living artist. Many of his works, signed and numbered, are offered at steep discounts in the gallery. And, I just couldn't resist. I purchased a framed, numbered, and signed ciglee entitled "Angel With Epaulet." This beautiful but intricate old-world style print with high-end framing was normally priced at 495.00. I took it home for 199.00. For art lovers, and Christensen lovers, truly, this is a steal. Stop in while you still have a chance. The gallery location at this Tai Pan closes at the end of the month.
