RENO, NEV.- The Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, known for selling the highest-quality Western paintings and sculpture from historical and contemporary artists, is pleased to announce its 38th annual Western art auction, to be held July 15, 2023, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. With over $ 325 million in sales over the last 15 years alone, the auction has been hailed as “The Biggest and Most Successful Auction of Western Art” by the Wall Street Journal, and was named “The Most Important Annual Event for Collectors of Western Art” by the New York Times. Once again, the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction is certain to be the high point of the Western Art world.

“This is the year for the true trophy hunters,” states auction partner Mike Overby. “We haven’t seen this number of masterpieces hit the market in almost 20 years.” Headlining the sale will be two once-in-a-lifetime collecting opportunities by Howard Terpning and Maynard Dixon. Paper that Talks Two Ways – The Treaty Signing by Terpning is considered to be one of the top three works ever painted by the artist. In fact, he and his family were so moved by it that they have kept the work it in their private collection until now. Estimated at $ 2 – 3 million, collectors who seek the finest won’t want to miss their chance. Joining the Terpning will be The Pony Boy by Dixon ($ 2 – 3 million). Quite possibly his most famous work, this will be only the second time the painting has changed ownership in over 100 years. The large scale, Plains Indian scene is a monumental example of why Dixon is one of the most popular early Western artists, whose stylistic canvases transcend Old to New West.

While these two masterpieces may grab the top billing, they are by no means the only fine offerings presented by both artists. Other works by Terpning include Traveling in Good Company ($ 300,000 – 500,000) and Time Stood Still ($ 250,000 – 350,000). Dixon will be represented by Migration #2 ($ 200,000 – 300,000), Thunder Over Shiprock ($ 80,000 – 120,000), and Signs of Autumn ($ 60,000 – 90,000).

Paintings by Taos Founders will be on a level not seen in decades. Major works by William Herbert Dunton will cross the block including The Race to the Chuckwagon ($ 500,000 – 750,000) and Two Braves ($ 300,000 – 500,000). They will be joined by an extraordinary painting by Joseph Henry Sharp, The Young Chief, which was painted by the artist for the Billings, Montana, Chamber of Commerce. It has remained in their collection since and has never been on the market. Estimated at $ 300,000 – 500,000, this painting could end up being the highest-selling Sharp in recent memory. It will be joined by other outstanding Taos Founder works such as: E. Martin Hennings’ Riders in the Taos Foothills ($ 300,000 – 500,000); Oscar Berninghaus’ Advance Scouts ($ 200,000 – 300,000) and Breaking Camp ($ 100,000 – 150,000); Eanger Irving Couse’s Moccasin Maker ($ 150,000 – 250,000); Victor Higgins’ Rio Grande Landscape ($ 100,000 – 150,000); and Bert Geer Phillips’ Taos Hunter ($ 70,000 – 100,000).

Additional significant works offered by the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction include an extremely rare oil by Henry Farny, The Trail Over the Pass ($ 400,000 – 600,000), which will be joined by an exquisitely painted gouache Crow Country ($ 150,000 – 250,000). Farny’s contemporary, Thomas Moran, will be well represented with The Rock of Acoma, New Mexico ($400,000 – 600,000) and Hopi House, Grand Canyon, Arizona ($ 150,000 – 250,000).




A major 30 × 40 oil painting by Gerard Curtis Delano will be one of the highlights of the sale. Evening ($ 300,000 – 500,000), comes fresh to the market from a long-time private collection.This work was signed with a “red dot” by the artist, signifying he believed it to be one of his finest offerings. It will be joined by Edgar Payne’s Desert Sky ($ 250,000 – 350,000), which is one of the artists most famous Southwestern scenes.

Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington have always been mainstays of the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, and this year is no different with rare works by Russell such as a lifetime casting of Nature’s Cattle ($ 80,000 – 120,000), a fine watercolor Pablo Buffalo Hunt ($ 100,000 – 150,000), and a very unique, original teepee model by Russell ($15,000 – 25,000). The Cheyenne #70 ($ 70,000 – 100,000) by Remington is also to be sold.

Sporting Art has been a major component of Coeur d’Alene and this year has the strongest offerings in at least ten years according to Overby. Not one but seven paintings by Philip R. Goodwin will cross the block, including: Blazing the Trail ($ 250,000 – 350,000), The Law of the Wilderness ($ 200,000 – 300,000), A Dangerous Moment($ 200,000 – 300,000), and A Strenuous Fight ($ 100,000 – 150,000). Additional Sporting works include: Carl Rungius’ At the Deadwater ($ 70,000 – 100,000); Canvasbacks on the Nanticoke River ($ 25,000 – 35,000) by George Browne; Setters on Point ($ 50,000 – 750,000) by Edmund Osthaus; and the most famous painting by Frank Stick, Riders at Lake McDermott ($ 25,000 – 35,000), which is featured on the cover of Frank Stick: Splendid Painter of the Out-of-Doors.

While Western and Sporting Art has always been Coeur d’Alene’s specialty, they are by no means limited to these genres. Notable works will be offered by some of the biggest names in American Art such as Edward Hopper’s Shoshone Cliffs, Wyoming ($ 400,000 – 600,000) and Berles-au-Bois, France ($ 80,000 – 120,000) by John Singer Sargent.

Blue-chip contemporary masters make up a large portion of the sale and will include: Morgan Weistlings’s The Family Trade ($ 80,000 – 120,000); Mark Maggiori’s Morning Above the Canyon ($ 40,000 – 60,000); Plains Monarch ($ 50,000 – 75,000) by Tucker Smith; Moonlight Warriors ($ 50,000 – 75,000) by Martin Grelle; Robert Griffing’s No Warning ($ 30,000 – 50,000); and Michael Dudash’s Waters of a Winter Thaw ($ 25,000 – 35,000).

Other notable works to include: Alfred Jacob Miller’s Lassoing Horses ($ 200,000 – 300,000); W. H. D. Koerner’s The Rustlers ($ 80,000 – 120,000); Injuns, Injuns ($ 150,000 – 250,000) by John Clymer; Custer’s Last Stand ($ 30,000 – 50,000) by Nick Eggenhofer; Sioux Lovers ($ 30,000 – 50,000) by De Cost Smith; Indian Herder ($ 60,000 – 90,000) by William R. Leigh; and Garden of the Gods, Manitou, Colorado ($ 40,000 – 60,000) by Birger Sandzén.
