Among the many artful amenities at Montage Deer Valley are hundreds of original pieces of art by artists that are native to Utah as well as many others, all of whose works are truly representative of the culture and heritage of the American West.

We have also developed a resort “art guide“; a 150 page, hardcover book containing artist biographies as well as information about all of the works that are housed in the public spaces of the resort. This guide will give resort guests, as well as any visiting art lovers, the opportunity to take a self-guided art tour, and to learn more about the fascinating collection of art at our luxury resort in Park City.

Fatali’s photographs are awe-inspiring works of art that capture the hidden essence of the Southwestern landscape. His remarkable affinity with nature combined with his unique understanding of light create images that are at once powerfully strong and spiritually evocative. His photographic canvases have a richness of hues and textures that harken back to the Italian Renaissance and a portrayal of light that rivals the Impressionist masters.  Twenty of Fatali’s images are on display at Spa Montage and the Fatali Gallery is a popular attraction on historic Main Street Park City.
