Visions of the West: The William I. Koch Collection

Before the era of Hollywood westerns, artists were writing the visual script of the American West.

Frederic Remington, Charles Marion Russell and their contemporaries shaped how the West was seen, imagined and remembered. Their works distilled movement and character into a visual language that would echo across generations of storytelling.

In Visions of the West: The William I. Koch Collection, these masterworks reveal how 19th- and early 20th-century artists defined the imagery — and values — that underpin the culture and mythos of the American West.
