23 JOHN NIETO 1936-2018
Sioux with Presidential Medal, 2005 acrylic on canvas 44 x 40 inches signed lower right: nieto verso: titled, signed and dated Provenance: From a Private Collection John Nieto brought a bold, unmistakable voice to contemporary Western art through his expressive portraits of Indigenous figures, rendered in electrifying color and dynamic form. Influenced by Fauvism and Expressionism, Nieto rejected naturalistic palettes in favor of vivid, saturated hues that emphasize the dignity, strength, and presence of his subjects rather than strict realism. His distinctive style earned international acclaim and placement in numerous museum and public collections. Painted in 2005, Sioux with Presidential Medal exemplifies Nieto’s mature vision. A commanding frontal portrait, the figure is adorned with a feathered war bonnet and a large presidential peace medal, symbols that evoke both Native leadership and the complex history of diplomacy between Indigenous nations and the United States. Brilliant blues, greens, violets, and golds transform the sitter into an iconic, almost monumental presence. Through fearless color and simplified form, Nieto elevates the portrait beyond likeness, creating a powerful meditation on resilience, identity, and cultural pride that remains among the defining hallmarks of his celebrated career. $30,000 – $50,000

24 JOHN NIETO 1936-2018
Corn Dancer stained glass 59 1/4 x 35 1/4 inches inscribed lower right: nieto estate signature verso: nieto estate signature Provenance: From a Private Collection In the early to mid-1980s, during a period of profound artistic confidence and experimentation, John Nieto pursued an ambitious evolution of his visual language. Widely celebrated for his explosive Fauvist palette and masterful acrylic compositions, Nieto sought to transcend the reflective qualities of paint on canvas. His intention was radical yet intuitive: to allow his signature color not merely to capture light, but to become light itself. This vision culminated in a rare and historically significant collaboration with master artisans Ken and John Toney of Scottsdale Stained-Glass Works. Nieto painstakingly translated his original acrylic compositions into full-scale, hand-rendered technical drawings. Each section of glass was individually selected to replicate the vibrational intensity of his brushwork—not through pigment, but through the inherent luminosity of colored glass. The process spanned months of meticulous craftsmanship. Of the five monumental stained-glass works created during this brief but extraordinary chapter, only three are known to survive today. Corn Dancer stands among these exceedingly rare works. Unlike many works that circulated through galleries during his lifetime, Corn Dancer remained within John Nieto’s private residence for approximately a decade, installed in the master bedroom of his home. Its placement speaks to the deeply personal resonance the piece held for the artist and his family. $30,000 – $50,000 — 14 —
Rodolfo Morales (Mexican, 1925-2001) was a celebrated painter from Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca, whose luminous, dreamlike images helped define the region’s contemporary art scene. Born into a small rural community, Morales studied at Mexico City’s Academia de San Carlos and spent more than three decades teaching art before his work gained international recognition in the 1970s. His paintings and collages blend magic realism and surrealism, often depicting village women, animals, and everyday rituals in saturated color, creating poetic visions of Oaxaca’s communal life.

FOUNDERS QEX modeled in 1910 cast c. 1910-1921 Frishmuth created a series of four eagle sculptures in the early 1910s: the present Small Spread Eagle, modeled in 1910; Large Spread Eagle and the Ruppert Eagle, both of which were modeled in 1911; and Gloucester Eagle, which she completed in 1914. Frishmuth exhibited a cast of the present Small Spread Eagle at the Pennsylvania Academy, the National Academy of Design, and the Roman Art Exposition in 1911. The following year she showed the sculpture, along with her Ruppert Eagle, at Gorham Galleries Exhibition of Sculpture by American Women in New York in 1912. It was cast in an edition of 16 between 1910 and 1921. Harriet Whitney Frishmuth is best known for her exuberant images of female nudes. She studied briefly with Auguste Rodin in Paris and trained at the Art Students League with sculptors Hermon Atkins MacNeil and Gutzon Borglum in New York. Her work achieved tremendous popularity between the 1910’s and the 1930’s, coinciding with the height of interest in collecting bronze sculptures for the home and garden. $15,000 – $25,000 — 26 —

72 WILHELM KUHNERT 1865-1926
Wisent (European Bison) oil on canvas 37 3/4 x 55 1/2 inches signed lower right: Willy. Kuhnert verso: signed Provenance: The Artist Private Collection by descent Christie’s London, December 2014, Lot 54 (label verso) Nagel Auktionen, February 2024, Lot 21 From a Private Collection Exhibited: Museum f. Völkerkunde, Hamburg, Germany, 1955, Catalog No. 32 This powerful painting of a lone European bison exemplifies Wilhelm Kuhnert’s gift for combining zoological accuracy with atmospheric drama. Dominating the composition, the animal is caught in a moment of wary stillness, its massive form turned three-quarters toward the viewer, hooves rooted in the stubbled grass. The careful modeling of the shaggy coat and muscular shoulders reflects Kuhnert’s training as a specialist animal painter, celebrated for his ability to render fur and anatomy with scientific precision. The bison’s dark, intelligent eye anchors the emotional tone of the work, suggesting alertness and latent power rather than aggression. Kuhnert situates the creature in a subtly desolate landscape: a thin birch tree, scrubby grasses, and distant foliage under a changeable sky of blue punctuated by drifting clouds. This spare setting recalls his practice of painting wildlife in their natural habitats, a hallmark of his career that helped define how European viewers imagined big game. The low horizon line and broad sweep of open ground heighten the sense of isolation and vulnerability, inviting reflections on the European bison’s, and indeed the North American bison’s, historical near-extinction. Overall, the painting reads as both a tribute to the majesty of wild fauna and a poignant meditation on their precarious place in the modern world. $60,000 – $90,000 — 28 —

John Fery, Jackson Hole, and the Railroad West John Fery’s images of Jackson Lake, the Tetons, elk country, and Yellowstone emerge from a formative period in the making of both the artist and the American West. Born Johann Nepomuk Levy in Austria in 1859, Fery trained in Europe before immigrating to the United States and building a reputation as a painter of dramatic mountain scenery. His first sustained encounters with the western landscape came through hunting excursions in the Northwest during the early 1890s, when he accompanied European nobles and painted along the way. By the late 1890s, Fery had made Jackson Lake, Wyoming, his base of operations. According to Peter C. Merrill’s account of the artist, he regarded Jackson Lake as the most beautiful body of water he had ever seen. He and his family lived in a cabin near the lake, at a time when Jackson Hole remained difficult to reach, thinly settled, and far removed from the tourism economy that later came to define it. At the turn of the twentieth century, he was working in an environment where travel was slow, weather was consequential, and the surrounding wildlife was a visible part of daily life. That turn-of-the-century residence helps explain the depth and familiarity of Fery’s Jackson Lake paintings. The works are not the product of a brief sightseeing stop. They reflect repeated observation of the lake, the shifting views of the Tetons, the forest margins, and the movement of elk and deer through the country. The paintings portray a landscape that Fery knew as both a hunter and a working artist: a place of changing light, seasonal weather, solitude, and immense geographic scale. His scenes of wildlife are therefore more than decorative additions to a mountain view. They suggest the rhythms of a place where animals, water, and forest were inseparable elements of the environment. Jackson Hole in Fery’s day was still in the early stages of transition. Ranchers, homesteaders, trappers, guides, and a growing number of eastern visitors all moved through the valley. Travel remained demanding. The Snake River’s braided channels could be difficult and dangerous to cross, and early crossings such as Bill Menor’s ferry were essential to movement through the region. In the first decades of the twentieth century, the area’s growing appeal to “dudes,” tourists, and sportsmen existed alongside the realities of settlement and subsistence. Fery’s work belongs to this moment before the Tetons were fully absorbed into the national-park and destination-tourism identity familiar today. Grand Teton National Park did not yet exist when he was living near Jackson Lake. The artist’s canvases consequently preserve an earlier imaginative version of the valley: not untouched in a literal sense, but still experienced as a lightly inhabited wilderness. In 1910, Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, recruited Fery for the company’s ambitious “See America First” campaign. Hill wanted large, dramatic paintings and photographs that could hang in ticket agencies, railroad depots, public buildings, fairs, and expositions, thereby persuading Americans to travel west to Glacier National Park. Great Northern supplied Fery with a studio, rail pass, living allowance, Glacier accommodations, and a salary. From 1910 to 1913, Fery produced large, highly finished views of Glacier’s lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, and peaks for display in Great Northern stations, offices, hotels, and promotional venues. The paintings were designed to make a distant landscape immediate and desirable: their sweeping scale, heightened color, and dramatic mountain forms promised prospective travelers an American wilderness as grand as any in Europe. Fery’s Glacier canvases did not simply illustrate the railroad’s route; they helped establish the visual identity of Glacier National Park for a national audience. The Great Northern commission was commercial, but it was also a major cultural project. Fery’s Glacier paintings carried the visual lessons he had developed in Wyoming to a far broader public, transforming remote western scenery into a compelling national destination. The railroad could deliver travelers to Glacier, but Fery’s art supplied the imaginative journey that made them want to go. The Yellowstone pictures extend the same broader railroad-era sensibility. Fery painted a Yellowstone group for the Northern Pacific Railroad, rather than for Great Northern, underscoring how railroads competed to transform western scenery into a compelling reason to travel. Taken together, these paintings reveal John Fery as both a firsthand observer of the early Jackson Hole country and a masterful architect of western aspiration. His time at Jackson Lake grounded his art in lived experience. His Great Northern work then transformed such experience into a public vision of the American West: monumental, abundant, remote, and yet—through the promise of the railroad— within reach.

Anna Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973) was among the foremost American animal sculptors of the twentieth century, admired for her close observation of anatomy and her ability to convey movement, strength, and individual character. Her panther bronzes capture the great cat in a variety of natural poses—stretching, descending, reaching, or pausing in alert attention. Huntington’s compositions were based on her nearly four-decade long study of Señor Lopez, a jaguar from Paraguay who was the first feline occupant of the Lion House at the New York Zoological Park (now the Bronx Zoo).

100 ALEXANDER PHIMISTER PROCTOR 1862-1950
Panther with Kill, (Cougar Feasting on Fawn), 1907 bronze 5 1/2 x 12 x 5 1/2 inches inscribed: A·PHIMISTER PROCTOR. COPY 09 modeled in 1907 cast c. 1909 Provenance: From a Private Collection The model for this bronze was a well-known cougar named Yellowstone Pete (actually a female), who had been captured in 1907 by Major John Pitcher, then the superintendent of that national park. As an admirer and former hunting friend, he sent the animal to the care of Proctor with the intention of promoting a creative result as well as donating the lioness to the Zoological Park in New York. Ultimately the sculptor borrowed “Pete” - bringing the caged animal to his studio in Westchester - in order to capture her pose, expression and musculature with closer inspection. The homage to the French animalier master Antoine-Louis Barye is obvious with similarities of composition and drama. Yet Proctor’s sculpture projects an animal that is fierce and menacing in nature. The reality and violence of the subject was not popular with Proctor’s collectors who may have preferred the single images of wildlife sculpted in a more agreeable interpretation. There are only two other known casts - one in the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming and another at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, a gift from the Proctor family. $8,000 – $12,000

Leopard, 1973 mixed media on paperboard 18 x 26 inches signed and dated lower right: Kuhn 73 Provenance: Rowland Ward Ltd., Nairobi, Kenya Acquired by the present owner from the above, circa 1985 This leopard painting by Bob Kuhn epitomizes his mature command of wildlife drama, design, and texture. Kuhn’s hallmark surfaces are everywhere: bark built from layered, knife-edged strokes and scumbled color, and a coat of rosettes rendered with just enough specificity to convince, but never so tight that the pattern deadens the form. Kuhn handles the violence in this scene with remarkable restraint, letting it register only in the quiet drama at the right edge. There, the faint form of the antelope—partially obscured by branches—suggests a recent kill without diminishing the calm demeanor of the leopard. The antelope’s pale flank and angled legs echo the diagonal thrust of the leopard’s body, visually binding predator and prey while keeping the narrative almost subliminal. Typical of his post-1970 easel work, the setting is pared back; light and space dissolve into an almost abstract pale background that pushes the leopard and tree into sharp relief, recalling the color-field influences that freed Kuhn from illustrative realism. The result is a painting that reads first as a dynamic, modern design and only second as a natural history study—an elegant fusion that helps explain Kuhn’s status as one of the great wildlife painters of the twentieth century. $100,000 – $200,000

Striding Grizzly bronze, edition 3 of 7 29 1/2 x 50 x 18 inches inscribed: BUNN © 3/7 Provenance: Scottsdale Art Auction, April 2013, Lot 350 The Collection of Mr. Anthony Greene, Jackson, WY Jackson Hole Art Auction, September 2018, Lot 275 Scottsdale Art Auction, April 2022, Lot 367 From a Private Collection Ken Bunn’s commanding bronze of a striding grizzly immediately conveys the animal’s raw power. The bear moves forward with a deliberate, grounded stride, shoulders rolling and weight shifting through its massive frame, as if emerging from the timberline into open country. Broad, faceted hand and tool marks articulate the pelt, catching light in a way that suggests sun on thick, weathered fur. The rich, nuanced patina—moving from deep umber to warm highlights—enhances this sense of living, breathing weight. Bunn’s careful balance of anatomical accuracy and gestural modeling imbues the sculpture with both presence and personality. The grizzly’s lowered head and intent gaze convey watchfulness rather than outright menace, evoking a top predator calmly in command of its terrain. This is classic Western wildlife sculpture: bold, sculptural, and museum-worthy—a cast is included in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming—yet intimate enough to reward close viewing. $35,000 – $55,000

135 GEORGE BROWNE 1918-1958
Goats, 1942 oil on canvas 20 x 18 inches signed lower left: Georg. Browne Provenance: J.N. Bartfield Galleries, New York, NY (label verso) Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, July 2007, Lot 242 From a Private Collection Literature: John T. Ordeman and Michael M. Schreiber, George & Belmore Browne, Warwick Publishing: Toronto, Canada, 2004, illustrated plate 53. George Browne possessed an uncommon ability to translate the rugged majesty of North America’s wilderness into paintings that were both scientifically convincing and emotionally resonant. The son of celebrated painter, explorer, and mountaineer Belmore Browne, George was immersed in the landscapes and wildlife of the Canadian Rockies and the American West from childhood. Under his father’s rigorous artistic training and through countless expeditions into the backcountry, Browne developed an intimate understanding of wildlife that would distinguish him as one of the finest sporting and wildlife painters of his generation. Though his career was tragically cut short by an accidental shooting at the age of forty, the remarkably small body of work he left behind has become highly prized by collectors. “Both Belmore and George were true wildlife painters. Their work is authentic because of the great deal of time they spent in the outdoors, time spent watching big game animals and birds in their natural settings. They went out and got their own reference material, and in order to be the very best, a wildlife artist has to do that,” notes Curtis Tierney, fine art dealer and owner of Tierney Fine Art in Bozeman, Montana. Goats exemplifies Browne’s extraordinary command of both animal anatomy and alpine atmosphere. Two mountain goats occupy a narrow ledge high above the clouds, their thick white coats glowing against the cool blues and slate grays of the surrounding peaks. The composition is masterfully orchestrated: one goat pauses to meet the viewer’s gaze while the second lowers its head toward the precipice, creating a quiet narrative of vigilance and survival. Rather than depicting dramatic action, Browne captures a fleeting moment of calm in an environment defined by perpetual danger. The painting’s success lies in its balance of realism and painterly expression. Browne’s confident brushwork describes the texture of dense winter fur with remarkable economy, while broad, atmospheric passages dissolve distant mountains into mist, conveying both altitude and scale. The restrained palette of icy blues, muted greens, and luminous whites reinforces the crisp mountain air and the isolation of the high country. Every element contributes to the sense that these animals belong entirely to this unforgiving landscape. The present work reflects the influence of earlier masters such as Carl Rungius while revealing Browne’s own increasingly modern sensibility – one that favored simplified forms, atmospheric unity, and a heightened emotional connection to nature. Today, Goats stands not only as a superb example of Browne’s artistic maturity but also as one of the defining images within his rare and highly sought-after oeuvre. $50,000 – $75,000

136 CARL RUNGIUS 1869-1959
Mount Assiniboine, c. 1929 oil on canvas 25 x 30 inches signed lower right: C. Rungius. Provenance: Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, July 2001, Lot 172 Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, July 2012, Lot 232 Private Collection, Jackson, WY This oil of Mount Assiniboine in British Columbia captures Carl Rungius at a mature, impressionistic peak, translating the drama of the Canadian Rockies into bold color, broad brushwork, and a surprisingly intimate sense of place. Painted circa 1929, it condenses his decades of experience as a wildlife painter and mountain sportsman into a compact, intensely felt study of rock, light, and weather. Mount Assiniboine rises like a towering pyramid above the turquoise lake, its serrated flanks articulated in planes of deep violet, slate blue, and cool white. Rungius simplifies the geology into angular masses, allowing the stark geometry of the peak to dominate, while the foreground trees and shoreline act as a dark, stabilizing base. The location on the Great Divide in the Canadian Rockies was a favorite motif for the artist, who returned repeatedly to Assiniboine and surrounding lakes such as Bow Lake and Lake O’Hara. At the lower edge of the composition, a band of spruce and fir trees anchors the scene and provides a distinctly North American wilderness signature. Their upright silhouettes, rendered in saturated greens and warm browns, lead the eye diagonally toward the luminous patch of meadow and then out across the cold, glacial water. This progression from shadowed forest to radiant alpine basin underscores the psychological journey from human-scale shelter to sublime, uninhabited grandeur. The palette is unequivocally modern for a wildlife painter often associated with realist big-game scenes. Rungius lays in broad strokes of color, using high-key contrasts to evoke crisp mountain air and shifting light rather than literal topographic detail. The snowfields are not uniformly white; instead, they fracture into patches of cream, pale blue, and lavender, catching reflections from sky and rock and emphasizing the mutable character of alpine light. His brushwork is energetic yet controlled, particularly in the sky, where clouds tumble in blocks of warm gray and off-white, suggesting unstable weather sweeping over the Divide. In the rock faces he alternates short, faceted strokes with longer, sweeping marks that follow the contour of the slopes, creating rhythm and movement in what might otherwise be static stone. This painterly language aligns with the evolution noted by historians: a shift from tight, illustrative detail toward impressionistic handling inspired by contemporary currents in North American and European art. By the late 1920s, Rungius had long been recognized as one of North America’s premier big-game and wilderness painters, traveling extensively across Canada and the American West. His repeated summer expeditions to the Rockies, combined with winter work in his New York and Banff studios, produced a large body of landscape sketches such as this, which served both as finished works and as compositional studies for larger canvases. A circa-1929 Mount Assiniboine landscape reflects this mature phase: the animal narrative is absent, yet the work remains rooted in the ethos of the sportsman-artist. The painting communicates the physical experience of being in the high country—its isolation, clarity, and latent danger—without resorting to overt drama. For collectors and historians, such landscapes are key to understanding Rungius not only as a wildlife draftsman but also as an accomplished impressionist interpreter of the Western wilderness. This work will be included in the forthcoming Carl Rungius Catalogue Raisonné, directed by Adam Duncan Harris, Ph.D., an independent project of the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming. $50,000 – $75,000

137 W. HERBERT DUNTON 1878-1936
October Aspens oil on canvas 14 x 14 inches signed lower right: Dunton verso: titled and signed Provenance: The Artist J. F. Burshears, La Junta, CO A Private Institutional Collection, CO Property Being Sold to Benefit the Western Heritage Education Campus, La Junta, Colorado A startled herd of mule deer in a Sangre de Cristo valley bottom turns to stare at the viewer of this gem by W. Herbert Dunton. Surrounded by pines, junipers, red willows, and cottonwoods, just beginning to turn their autumn splendor, these deer – likely does, yearlings, and fawns – prick up their enormous ears to assess potential danger. W. Herbert Dunton first visited Taos in 1912 before moving there in 1915. A major Western illustrator, he gave up his successful illustration career, and a home in Ridgewood, New Jersey, in favor of easel paintings and was a founder of the Taos Society of Artists. He hunted deer for much of his life and knew them perhaps better – inside and out – than any artist in the American West. For his art, Dunton harvested animals only when he felt it was absolutely necessary. After making numerous sketches of the animal, both living and dead, he would skin the animal often allowing it to freeze in a particular position in order to study musculature. After he became head of the Taos Fish and Game Protective Association in the late nineteen-teens, and his health began to fail in the late 1920s and early 1930s Dunton preferred to only “take” big game with palette and brush, pencil and paper. He also gave a radio address in Kansas City in 1924 titled “Hunt But Don’t Kill All.” During pack-horse trips into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, he mainly made “dry-hunts,” using a thumb-box and small canvas panels, that he called “studies.” He exhibited these small canvas panels but used them primarily to create backgrounds for his last paintings. These late paintings emphasized big-game animals – elk, deer, and bears – in simplified, stylized landscapes characterized by rich color. Moreover, with his mature style, beginning in the mid-1920s and exemplified in October Aspens, mule deer assumed prominent roles in his art. I believe October Aspens is related to a group of mule deer canvases and a lithograph Dunton did between about 1922 and his death in 1936. These also include his oils Heart of the Wilderness, Taos Canyon and Aspens in Autumn, and the 1935 lithograph, The First Snow: Mule Deer. (Dunton painted his earliest oil, a depiction of deer, in 1889 when he was about eleven years old). October Aspens is also part of a larger group of modest-sized oils of wildlife Dunton created in the mid to late 1920s, including images of elk, deer, black bears, and grizzlies. Dunton favored the standard sizes, 16 x 12 and 20 x 16, for these paintings, but also painted a number of wildlife scenes in square sizes, 14 x 14, 30 x 30, and even 48 x 48. A complete outdoorsman, Dunton produced his mature landscape and wildlife paintings in a Regionalist style late in his life as seen in October Aspens. Reducing the natural landscape and trees – cedars, willows, cottonwoods, pines – surrounding the herd of mule deer in the foreground to their most basic geometric forms (cones, pyramids, triangles) Dunton created a tapestry with almost no depth of field: a truly Modernist composition. Dunton’s late paintings such as October Aspens were part of larger movement in the United States during the second quarter of the twentieth century wherein artists relied on abstract formal devices in order to be “modern.”1 Like Grant Wood in Iowa, Thomas Hart Benton in Missouri, John Steuart Curry in Kansas, and the Lone Star Regionalists, Dunton’s mature work evolved into “a style of artificial geometries, clean surfaces, and relentless patterns . . . like the Art Deco decorators of his day.”2 However, no matter how abstract the formal devices he used, Dunton’s late canvases were always created using hard visual data including employing models, on-site sketches, and photographs. Paintings such as October Aspens exemplify Dunton’s skill with compositional design, his sensitivity to decorative pattern, and his growing confidence in using powerful color. He described his approach to scenes such as he depicted in October Aspens in a 1926 letter: “The inspiration for this canvas--as in my others – was my own trips in the hills. . . I have depicted no particular place – as I do in few of my canvases – changing the lines of those I see in nature to make a ‘composition.’ That is where the art comes in – taking what one wishes from a place or places and knowing what to discard. An artistic production is not a literal translation of nature. If it were there would be no sense in painting or paintings – because nature would be always superior to our humble product.”3 This painting will be included in the forthcoming Dunton catalogue raisonné being compiled by Michael Grauer. We are grateful to him for writing this essay. $200,000 – $400,000 1 2 3

Byron Price, Lougheed, Nygard & Elliott Publishing Company: Bozeman, MT, 1991, illustrated p. 79. Exhibited: Grand Central Art Galleries, Inc., New York, NY, Call of the Wild: The Primal Adventure, Oct. 18 - Nov. 10, 1984 (label verso) Robert Lougheed possessed a rare ability to unite the disciplines of wildlife portraiture and landscape painting into compositions that celebrate the grandeur of the North American wilderness. In Mt. Rundle Beyond, the artist presents a commanding bull elk standing alert in a snow-covered valley beneath the imposing silhouette of Mount Rundle, one of the most iconic peaks in Banff National Park. The painting captures a moment of stillness, where the quiet confidence of the animal is matched by the monumental permanence of the mountains beyond. Lougheed’s masterful handling of atmosphere, coupled with his intimate understanding of wildlife anatomy, transforms the scene into both a faithful record of nature and a stirring tribute to the Canadian Rockies. The composition demonstrates Lougheed’s exceptional sense of balance. The magnificent elk, illuminated by warm winter light, dominates the foreground, while a small herd emerges almost unnoticed among the willows in the middle distance, reinforcing the vast scale of the surrounding landscape. Beyond, the snow-clad mass of Mount Rundle rises beneath a dramatic overcast sky, its cool blues and grays contrasting beautifully with the golden browns of the animal and dormant grasses. Lougheed’s restrained palette and confident brushwork evoke the crisp air of late winter, while subtle passages of reflected light across snow and water reveal an artist committed to direct observation. Born in Massey, Ontario, in 1910, Robert Lougheed developed an early fascination with animals while growing up on his family’s farm. He studied at the Ontario College of Art before continuing his education at the École des Beaux-Arts in Montréal and later at the Art Students League of New York under celebrated instructors Frank Vincent DuMond and Dean Cornwell. Although he enjoyed an accomplished career as a commercial illustrator – producing artwork for publications including National Geographic, Reader’s Digest, and Sports Afield – his greatest passion remained painting wildlife and the landscapes of the American and Canadian West. Lougheed became one of the most respected painters of Western subjects during the twentieth century, earning admiration from fellow artists for both his technical precision and his unwavering commitment to painting from life. A founding influence of the National Academy of Western Art and an early member of the Cowboy Artists of America, he helped shape a revival of traditional representational painting while mentoring a new generation of Western artists. His work is distinguished by an academic understanding of form combined with an authentic appreciation for the natural world. $35,000 – $55,000

Harvey, Randy Best, Susan Hallsten McGarry, The Golden Era: A Celebration of Light by G. Harvey, Somerset House Publishing, 1992, illustrated pp. 38-39 Born Gerald Harvey Jones in San Antonio, Texas, G. Harvey (1933-2017) became one of the most widely recognized American painters of Western history and early 20th century urban life. His interest in the past was rooted in family experience: stories of cattle drives told by his grandfather and accounts of Texas boomtowns shared by his father helped shape the historical imagination that would define his career. After graduating from North Texas State University in 1956, Harvey moved to Austin with his wife, Patty, and worked as an industrial arts teacher while painting at night. By the late 1950s, he had adopted the professional name G. Harvey, and his work began appearing in Texas galleries and art fairs. In 1964, he left teaching to pursue painting full time. Harvey initially concentrated on the landscapes, ranching traditions, and people of Texas and the greater Southwest. Over time, his subjects expanded to include bustling city streets, horse-drawn carriages, early automobiles, and lamplit avenues. Influenced by European boulevard painters, he became especially admired for his atmospheric treatment of light, whether reflected across rain-darkened pavement or glowing from windows and street lamps. Limited-edition prints introduced Harvey’s work to a broad national audience beginning in the 1970s, while his original paintings attracted an increasingly dedicated following. His exhibitions included presentations at the National Archives, the Treasury Building, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. In 2009, he received lifetime achievement honors from both the Booth Western Art Museum and the Dolph Briscoe Museum. Through a career spanning more than five decades, Harvey created a nostalgic yet compelling vision of American history, celebrating endurance, community, and the rapidly changing world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. $125,000 – $225,000

Morning Glow on Powder Snow, 1988 oil on canvas 26 x 41 1/2 inches signed and dated lower right: G. Harvey © 1988 verso: titled, signed and dated Provenance: Whistle Pik Gallery, Fredericksburg, TX Corporate Collection of Electronic Data Systems (EDS, founded by H. Ross Perot), Plano, TX Private Collection, TX, acquired from the above Private Collection, Dallas, TX In Morning Glow on Powder Snow, G. Harvey depicts a group of mounted riders and packhorses making their way through a snowcovered mountain landscape. The scene suggests a working journey rather than a leisurely ride: the men travel in a loose formation, accompanied by heavily laden animals carrying the supplies necessary for life in remote country. Their steady progress evokes the practical demands of ranching, hunting, or winter travel in the American West. Harvey emphasizes the riders’ endurance and familiarity with the land. They appear calm and purposeful despite the deep snow and cold conditions, guiding their horses across difficult terrain with practiced confidence. The surrounding wilderness reinforces their isolation, while the distant hills suggest that the journey will continue well beyond the moment shown. Rather than presenting the West as a place of spectacle, Harvey focuses on the discipline, resilience, and everyday labor required to move through it. Harvey arranges the procession along a gently rising diagonal, leading the eye from the rider at lower right toward the central mounted figures and then into the luminous grove at upper left. This ascending movement gives the composition both depth and momentum. The widely spaced riders allow the white hillside to remain a dominant presence, emphasizing the scale of the landscape and the physical isolation of the travelers. Their dark horses and strongly colored coats punctuate the pale terrain, creating a rhythmic progression across the canvas. Light provides the painting’s central expressive element. A warm morning glow filters through the aspens, turning their remaining leaves to gold and illuminating the snow with passages of cream, yellow, and delicate blue. The distant mountains, rendered in cool blue-gray and violet, recede beneath a muted sky, while warmer rusts and ochres emerge among the foreground trees and riders. This carefully balanced opposition of warm and cool color gives the winter atmosphere both clarity and softness. The glow does more than describe a particular hour. It introduces a sense of reassurance into an otherwise difficult landscape, suggesting warmth beyond the cold and forward movement through uncertainty. In Morning Glow on Powder Snow, Harvey combines narrative detail, atmospheric color, and controlled composition to create an image that is both distinctly Western and broadly human—a meditation on work, companionship, and perseverance within the grandeur of the natural world. $150,000 – $250,000

151 G. HARVEY 1933-2017
Rawhide and Roughnecks, 1986 oil on canvas 35 1/2 x 47 1/2 inches signed and dated lower right: G. Harvey © 1986 verso: titled, signed and dated Provenance: Connally & Altermann, Houston, TX From a Private Collection G. Harvey’s Rawhide and Roughnecks is a quintessential vision of the American West in transition, capturing that charged moment when cowboy culture meets the emerging industrial age. Set on a snow-covered street at dawn or dusk, the painting draws the viewer into a small town poised between saddle leather and steel derricks. Harvey’s composition is anchored by two mounted cowboys riding down the center of the street, their horses stepping carefully through rutted, icy tracks. Flanking them on the left is a line of tied horses outside a warmly lit storefront, while to the right, wooden buildings, telegraph poles, and the silhouettes of oil rigs recede into the distance. The result is an evocative intersection of rawhide and roughnecks—ranch hands and oilfield workers—sharing the same frozen ground. Harvey’s palette reinforces the narrative tension. The cool blues and grays of the snow and sky create a palpable chill, but they are pierced by pockets of golden light spilling from windows and doorways. These interior glows suggest community, refuge, and continuity amid change. The cowboys themselves are painted with Harvey’s signature blend of impressionistic brushwork and careful detail: worn slickers, tilted hats, and well-used tack convey lives of hard labor and quiet resilience. You can almost feel the horses’ breath rising into the cold air, a small but powerful reminder of the living, breathing heart of the West, even as machinery looms on the horizon. The oil derricks and utility poles are crucial to the story this painting tells. Rising behind the town, their stark verticals cut into the soft, atmospheric sky, symbolizing industry’s encroachment into traditional ranch country. Yet Harvey doesn’t present this as a simple conflict. The scene feels matter-of-fact, almost inevitable. The oilfield infrastructure is integrated into the landscape, painted with the same respect and attention as the clapboard storefronts and snow-laden trees. In this way, Rawhide and Roughnecks becomes a visual meditation on economic change: cowboys and roughnecks occupy the same street, their livelihoods intertwined in a new frontier of energy and opportunity. Harvey’s handling of light and atmosphere is particularly compelling. The hazy sky and diffused glow suggest either sunrise, when work is just beginning, or early evening, when a long shift winds down. That ambiguity reinforces the cyclical nature of Western labor—days that start and end in the saddle or on the rig, regardless of season. The snow, rendered in subtle variations of tone, is both obstacle and unifying element, covering the street and roofs alike. It quiets the scene, dampening sound, and allows the viewer to focus on the figures and the emotional undercurrent: endurance, camaraderie, and a stoic acceptance of the elements. For collectors and admirers of G. Harvey’s work, Rawhide and Roughnecks stands as a powerful encapsulation of his gift for storytelling. He doesn’t romanticize the West by erasing hardship; instead, he romanticizes its character—the way men and horses move through a demanding environment with purpose and dignity. The painting offers a nostalgic look at a bygone era while acknowledging the forces that transformed it, making it a resonant work on the evolution of Western towns from cattle and trail drives to oil and industry. $300,000 – $500,000

164 WILLIAM R. LEIGH 1866-1955
Looking for Bighorn oil on canvas 24 1/4 x 18 inches signed lower right: W. R. LEIGH Provenance: Morgan Walker, LLC, New York The William I. Koch Collection, acquired from the above, 2011 Christie’s New York, Visions of The West: The William I. Koch Collection Day Sale, January 2026, Lot 102 (label verso) Private Collection, Nashville, TN Looking for Bighorn combines narrative suspense with meticulous observation of landscape and animal life. It is a meditation on risk, pursuit, and the harsh beauty of high-country sheep hunting. Leigh places a lone hunter on a rocky ridge, poised above a sweeping mountain valley that suggests the rugged terrain of Wyoming or the broader northern Rockies. The figure scans the distant slopes for bighorn sheep while his horse struggles for secure purchase on the steep terrain. Below and beyond him, the land drops away into a cascade of cliffs, talus, and timber, emphasizing how precarious and exposed the hunter’s position truly is. Leigh orchestrates the composition so that the horse and rider form a dark, diagonal silhouette against a lighter sky and distant peaks, creating a visual anchor that immediately draws the eye. The ridge itself cuts across the canvas like a jagged ramp, heightening the sensation that a single misstep could send horse and rider tumbling into the canyon below. Small details—the angle of the horse’s head, the tilt of the hunter’s hat, the careful placement of rifle and gear—reinforce a tense narrative moment: the instant of searching just before a decision is made. A hallmark of Leigh’s Western work is his use of high-altitude light, and Looking for Bighorn is no exception. Cool, crystalline blues and grays define the far mountains and sky, while warmer ochres and earth tones articulate the foreground, giving the painting a bracing, almost wind-scrubbed clarity. Subtle shifts in value separate near and far forms, creating a convincing sense of depth and atmosphere that places the viewer right on the edge of the precipice with the hunter. Beyond its descriptive accuracy, the painting speaks to the psychology of the Western hunter, suspended between danger and desire. Bighorn sheep, notoriously elusive and inhabiting brutal vertical country, symbolize both the ultimate trophy and the extreme demands of the chase; Leigh’s hunter is portrayed as small but stubborn against the immensity of the land. The work captures that solitary moment when skill, experience, and judgment must converge—a pause that seasoned sheep hunters and Western sportsmen recognize intimately. William Robinson Leigh, often called the “Sagebrush Rembrandt,” built his reputation on highly finished, dramatic scenes of the American frontier, from bucking broncos to big-game pursuits. Looking for Bighorn fits squarely within this tradition, melding narrative Western subject matter with academic drawing and polished surface. Today, the painting is valued not only for its technical mastery but also for the way it encapsulates a mythic vision of the Mountain West—where human ambition is dwarfed, yet defined, by unforgiving mountains and the wild creatures that inhabit them. $130,000 – $180,000

165 WILLIAM GOLLINGS 1878-1932
Spooked, 1906 oil on canvas 24 x 19 inches signed and dated lower right: Gollings . 06 (artist cipher) Provenance: Private Collection, Denver, CO Born in Pierce City, Idaho, in 1878, Bill Gollings spent his early years on farms in Idaho, Michigan, and New York. His family moved to Chicago in 1889, but preferring life in the West, Gollings left home at the age of 18 and traveled though Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Montana, making his way as a cowboy, trapper, sheepherder and gold prospector. Influenced by the magazine illustrations of Frederick Remington, Gollings began to focus on a career in the arts, and in 1903 he sent a mail order to Montgomery Wards to obtain his first oil painting materials. Acting as Gollings’s agent, the artist’s brother sold Bill’s first paintings to a furniture storeowner in Sheridan, Wyoming. His brother also sent pictures to the editor of the Chicago Fine Arts Journal. At the suggestion of the editor, Gollings made his way to Chicago where, in 1905, he used the proceeds from painitng sales to enroll at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. When his finances eventually gave out, Gollings moved back to Sheridan, where he continued painting and breaking horses to make his living. The last of his fulltime “cowboy” jobs was working for the government as a line rider on the Cheyenne Reservation. In 1909, determined to establish his reputation as an artist, he built a shack and called it a studio, and devoted himself to painting scenes of the Western life that he knew so well. Gollings’ primary influences were Howard Russel Butler, William P. Henderson, Charles M. Russell, W. H. D. Koerner, Joseph Henry Sharp, and Frederic Remington. $25,000 – $45,000 — 76 —

Buccaroos from the N–N Outfit on the Big Dry in Montana, 1902 watercolor on paper 19 3/4 x 28 5/8 inches signed and dated lower right: CM Russell (artist cipher) 1902 Provenance: Private Collection, Vancouver, Canada Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, July 28, 2001, Lot 180 Thomas Nygard, Inc., Bozeman, MT (label verso) From a Private Collection Literature: Scribner’s Magazine: New York, February, 1905, “Some Incidents of Western Life” by C.M. Russell, illustrated. Catalogue Raisonné: CR.UNL.61 Charles M. Russell’s 1902 watercolor Buccaroos from the N–N Outfit on the Big Dry in Montana captures the breathless immediacy of a Western roundup with a lightness of touch that belies its technical sophistication. Set on the steep, sun‑baked slopes above a wide, eroded coulee, the scene shows two cowboys in full pursuit of a bolting, red‑and‑white steer. Russell uses watercolor’s transparency to great advantage, flooding the composition with high‑plains light that conveys big sky and vast distance, while reserving his richest, most saturated color for the central actors: the bucking steer and the lead rider’s chestnut horse. The title anchors the image in a very specific ranching reality. “Buccaroos” evokes the working cowhands of the northern ranges, while the “N–N” brand and the reference to the Big Dry place the action in the open, rugged country of eastern Montana, where Russell himself cowboyed and absorbed the visual vocabulary of the range. In this watercolor, that experience translates into a convincing understanding of motion and terrain. The hillside tilts sharply from upper right to lower left, and Russell aligns the steer’s plunging body, the lead horse’s stretched stride, and the trailing rider’s forward drive along that diagonal, orchestrating a dynamic descent that feels perilously fast. Dust kicks up in pale washes at the animals’ feet, and small, scrubby sage clumps dot the slope, giving just enough foothold to suggest both danger and skill in negotiating this ground at speed. Russell’s handling of the figures shows his characteristic blend of accuracy and empathy. The lead cowboy leans slightly forward, torso twisted as his right arm whips the lariat into the air; his left hand braces against the bridle as the horse surges downhill, ears pinned, nostrils flared. The rider’s chaps, hat, and neckerchief are rendered in economical strokes, yet read instantly as authentic gear. Behind him, the second rider urges his mount on, his raised arm mirroring the first, echoing the communal effort and teamwork inherent in a roundup. Color and composition together emphasize both drama and openness. The steer’s patchy hide, modeled in warm sienna and creamy white, forms the foreground focal point, anchoring the viewer’s eye before it races up the slope along the line of the cowboys’ pursuit. Beyond them, the land falls away into a succession of soft ochres, muted blues, and lavender grays, indicating distant breaks and ridges under a vast, nearly cloudless sky. Russell leaves the upper portion of the sheet almost bare, a wash of pale yellow and blue that conveys the blaze of midday sun and the unbounded scale of the northern plains. This generous sky not only balances the busy, kinetic lower half, but also underscores the isolation and independence of the “buccaroos,” tiny human figures working in a monumental landscape. Although watercolor is often associated with delicacy, Russell proves it an ideal vehicle for Western action. His brushwork shifts from loose, atmospheric sweeps in the distance to quick, decisive lines in the horse’s legs and the coiled ropes, capturing both the fleeting nature of the moment and the enduring patterns of ranch life. In Buccaroos from the N–N Outfit on the Big Dry in Montana, Russell offers more than a picturesque cowboy vignette: he delivers an insider’s vision of the northern range, where dust, sun, and speed define the day’s work, and where the partnership of rider, horse, and land is rendered with both affection and unsentimental clarity. $300,000 – $500,000

Bunch Quitters, 1927 oil on canvas 24 x 42 1/8 inches signed and dated lower left: W. H. D Koerner 1927 Provenance: Ruth Koerner Oliver, Santa Barbara, CA (label verso) Fenn Galleries, Ltd., Santa Fe, NM (label verso) Private Collection, Sun Valley, ID Thomas Nygard, Bozeman, MT (label verso) From a Private Collection Literature: The Saturday Evening Post, April 16, 1927, “Lost Ecstasy” by Mary Roberts Rinehart, illustrated. W. H. D. Koerner’s 1927 painting Bunch Quitters captures the high drama of the Western range with cinematic immediacy. A lone cowboy, intent and urgent, drives his mount hard as a knot of horses breaks away from the main herd, their muscles taut and manes whipping in the dust-laden air. The title hints at disorder—a bunch of animals quitting the line—yet Koerner turns that moment of chaos into an emblem of grit and control hard-won on the open range. Koerner’s palette of sun‑struck tans, greys, and soft blues anchors the action in a rugged mountain landscape, where steep slopes and shifting light amplify the sense of risk. The cowboy’s red neckerchief and pale horse create a focal point, contrasting against the mass of brown horses surging forward, their bodies overlapping in a powerful rhythm. Brushwork is loose yet descriptive, suggesting speed and motion rather than static detail. In Bunch Quitters, Koerner celebrates not only the beauty of horseflesh and the sweep of the Rockies, but the working cowboy’s split‑second response to trouble on the trail—a quintessential Western narrative distilled into one electrifying chase. $50,000 – $75,000

196 ED MELL 1942-2024
Valley Tower oil on canvas 60 x 48 inches signed lower right: Ed Mell Provenance: Maxwell Alexander Gallery, Pasadena, CA (label verso) From a Private Collection Mell described his painting style as “desert modernism. Not cubism but with cubism’s straight lines to add strength.” His landscapes convey both the reality and the romance of desert vistas, but though some places are immediately recognizable, Mell’s preoccupation was in capturing mood. “Think of driving through an era like Monument Valley. Later … you won’t remember details, but you will have a lasting impression of the forms, colors, and, especially the mood.” Valley Tower is minimal and modernist, imposing in scale. The architectural rendering of the rocks carries hints of a cityscape – perhaps an oblique nod to Georgia O’Keeffe’s cityscapes of the 1920s – and reflects both Mell’s appreciation of art deco style and his technical art education. Maynard Dixon’s influence is apparent in Mell’s dramatic use of light and shadow in rendering awe-inspiring rock formations that seemingly project off the canvas. Today, Ed Mell’s work is included in the permanent collections of many museums, including Denver Art Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, Booth Western Art Museum, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. He passed away on February 21, 2024. $55,000 – $85,000 — 90 —

199 LOGAN MAXWELL HAGEGE b.1980
The Call of the Canyon, 2019 oil on linen mounted to board 43 x 32 inches signed lower right: LMH verso: titled, signed and dated Provenance: From a Private Collection The Call of the Canyon, painted in 2019, exemplifies Logan Maxwell Hagege’s distinctive “stylized realism,” in which the people and landscapes of the American Southwest are distilled into bold geometric forms, luminous color, and monumental design. Towering cloud formations echo the sculptural silhouettes of the figures below, creating a visual harmony that heightens the painting’s quiet narrative. Cloaked riders pause amid a desert landscape of rounded sage and distant mountains, evoking themes of journey, community, and enduring connection to place. Classically trained yet unmistakably contemporary, Hagege has emerged as one of today’s leading interpreters of the American West, with works held in major museum collections across the country, including the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles, California, the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and the Scottsdale Museum of the West in Arizona, among others. $60,000 – $90,000 — 92 —

Where Jackson captured the introspective cowboy in sculptural form, Solliday translates that quiet dignity into paint—using luminous color, classical composition, and a Taos-inspired palette to evoke a moment of inner reflection. The result is a work that honors the legacy of Western art while reaffirming the timeless humanity of its subject. $30,000 – $50,000

Burshears, La Junta, CO, 1951 A Private Institutional Collection, CO Property Being Sold to Benefit the Western Heritage Education Campus, La Junta, Colorado Exhibited: Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe, NM, E. Martin Hennings: The Influence of New Mexico, Sept 20, 1986 - Jan 4, 1987 (label verso) Fine Arts Center, Colorado Springs, CO, The Way West: Tourism and the Marketing of the West, Oct 4 - Dec 31, 2003 (label verso) In Watering Their Horses, Ernest Martin Hennings presents a subject closely associated with his celebrated images of northern New Mexico: riders and horses moving through a landscape shaped by the rhythms of daily life. Rather than treating the scene as a simple record of ranching or travel, Hennings transforms the moment into a poetic vision of the Southwest. The quiet pause implied by the title allows horse, rider, and landscape to become part of a unified composition, reflecting the artist’s enduring interest in the relationship between people and place. Born in Penns Grove, New Jersey, in 1886 and raised in Chicago, Hennings studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before continuing his education at the Royal Academy in Munich under the distinguished painter Franz von Stuck. He first visited Taos in 1917 at the encouragement and sponsorship of former Chicago mayor and arts patron Carter H. Harrison Jr.. Captivated by the region’s dramatic light, mountainous terrain, and cultural traditions, Hennings settled there permanently in 1921 and became a member of the Taos Society of Artists in 1924. Hennings became particularly admired for compositions that combine elegantly arranged figures, decorative patterns, warm color, and the luminous atmosphere of the New Mexican landscape. In his Taos works, Hennings’ stylized lines create poetic visual connections between the people and the stunning high desert where they lived, conveying a deep, soulful connection to the region. Hennings wrote: “New Mexico has almost made a landscape painter out of me, although I believe my strongest work is in figures.” (El Palacio, August 1946). Although Hennings largely considered himself a figure painter, it was when he brought together his uniquely stylized vision of the landscape and the people of New Mexico that Hennings reached the pinnacle of his artistic achievement. Hennings would render the background first and then consider where the figures in the piece would go. Once the figures were placed, any foliage that might obscure them was added on top of that. Because of the lengthy periods required to let pieces dry, he would work on multiple canvases at a time, finishing a stage and then setting the piece aside. Hennings would never sign his name until he was completely satisfied with his work. Watering Their Horses embodies this distinctive vision, elevating an everyday encounter into a timeless expression of life in the American Southwest. To learn more about Hennings’ life and legacy, please visit the Couse-Sharp Historic Site in Taos, New Mexico or online at couse-sharp. org. Through its archives, collections and programming, the Couse-Sharp Historic Site preserves and interprets Taos’ crossroads of cultures, promoting and facilitation research, education, and new perspectives on the Taos Society of Artists, early artists of Taos, and regional and Indigenous communities in relation to the greater story of the multicultural American West.

I. Couse in Taos, May - Aug 1998 (label verso) Catalogue Raisonné: 0063 / id # 63 In The Artist (Painting of the Skin), Eanger Irving Couse depicts a young Native artist carefully applying a narrative design to a hide. Seated on the ground with his brush extended, the figure is shown fully absorbed in his work. Small bowls of pigment rest nearby, while the painted hide rises prominently at the left of the composition. Couse uses the figure’s outstretched arm to connect artist and artwork, directing attention toward the colorful image taking shape. The dark, restrained background further emphasizes the pale hide, the warm tones of the figure, and the measured accents of red, blue, and yellow. Throughout his career, Couse became best known for paintings of Native figures engaged in domestic, artistic, and ceremonial activities. The Artist (Painting of the Skin) is characteristic of his preference for quiet, concentrated subjects rather than overt action. The painting also has a self-referential quality: Couse, an academically trained painter, presents another artist engaged in the deliberate process of creating an image. Through its balanced composition, controlled color, and close attention to the figure’s pose, the work reflects the technical skill and thoughtful observation that defined Couse’s mature career.

August Afternoon: Bison, 2002 acrylic on board 18 x 28 inches signed lower right: Kuhn verso: signed and dated Provenance: From a Private Collection Few artists can capture the majesty and raw power of wild animals in vivid detail. Far fewer can leave a lasting legacy. Bob Kuhn did both. His love for wildlife and art inspired generations of artists, hunters and anglers. Born in Buffalo, New York, Bob Kuhn attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where he studied design, anatomy, and life-drawing. For the next 30 years, he was one of the most popular wildlife illustrators in America before turning to easel painting full time in 1970. Kuhn traveled around the world to obtain inspiration and made countless trips to Africa, six trips to Alaska, and numerous forays into Canada and the American West. There is inexplicable magic in a Kuhn painting. It never grows tired. With every viewing, there are new discoveries. He is considered by patrons and art historians alike to be the pre-eminent wildlife artist of his generation. It has often been said he was simply without peer. Kuhn was a member of the Society of Animal Artists in New York, and his works are featured in permanent museum collections from coast to coast, including The John I. Wehle Gallery of Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Museum in Mumford, New York, The National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with the largest body of work on display at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. $100,000 – $150,000

269 WALTER UFER 1876-1936
The Bake Oven, 1922 oil on linen 25 x 30 inches signed lower left: wufer Provenance: The Owings Gallery, Santa Fe, NM (label verso) From a Private Collection The Bake Oven is a superb example of Walter Ufer’s mastery of light, color, and subject matter, qualities that established him as one of the leading members of the Taos Society of Artists. Throughout his career, Ufer captured both the beauty and the hardships of everyday life, imbuing his paintings with remarkable emotional depth and humanity. Born in Germany, Walter Ufer grew up in Louisville, Kentucky where he apprenticed as a lithographer before pursuing formal artistic training in Hamburg, Dresden, and Munich. During his seven years in Europe, he met fellow artists Joseph Henry Sharp and Ernest Leonard Blumenschein. After returning to the United States in 1914, Ufer settled in Taos, becoming a leading member of the Taos Society of Artists. Known for his spirited personality, he once humorously volunteered to serve simultaneously as both the Society’s president and secretary when both offices became vacant. Although often described as irascible and flamboyant, Ufer was also deeply compassionate and committed to his community. During the devastating influenza pandemic of 1918, he and his wife, Mary, volunteered as night nurses, assisting Taos physician J. W. Bergman while another local doctor was away caring for military personnel. A dedicated socialist, Ufer also supported striking miners in Madrid by raising funds on their behalf. The woman depicted in The Bake Oven is believed to be Mercedes Mirabal, sister of Jim Mirabal, Ufer’s close friend, trusted assistant, and frequent model from Taos Pueblo. While the subject is Pueblo, the setting is thought to be the historic Capilla de Nuestra Señora de Dolores in Ranchos de Taos rather than Taos Pueblo itself. In this intimate scene, a Pueblo woman tends a traditional outdoor bread oven, or horno, pausing in the quiet rhythm of daily life.

Deep Lake oil on canvas 60 x 72 inches signed lower right: Christensen © Provenance: The Artist From the Collection of Charles Iossi and Christine Culman Exhibited: Prix de West Invitational, National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City, OK, 2012 “It takes time to get back into the rhythm of nature...” – The Artist Scott Christensen’s Deep Lake captures the majesty and solitude of Wyoming’s Wind River Mountain Range with luminous restraint. Towering granite walls rise sharply from the still, glassy water, their faceted planes articulated in confident, economical brushwork that suggests both mass and movement. Snowfields drift between the peaks, cooling the palette and drawing the eye toward the distant pass, where sky and stone quietly meet. In the foreground, sun‑struck evergreens and warm rocks provide a counterpoint of texture and color, anchoring the viewer at the water’s edge and inviting a slow, contemplative gaze. Christensen’s nuanced handling of light—soft sky, crisp reflections, and atmospheric blue shadows— conveys both grandeur and quiet intimacy, evoking the timeless calm of an alpine morning. $30,000 – $50,000

“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. I know of no sculpture, painting or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on the rock and forest, and of thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters. At first the colossal aspect may dominate; then we perceive and respond to the delicate and persuasive complex of nature... Who can define the moods of the wild places, the meaning of nature in domains beyond those of material use? Here are words of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit. Perhaps age must remember the clear perceptions of youth and return to the sensing of freshness, of strength and of wonder; perhaps age needs to recall the comprehension of mood and meaning and to rekindle an appreciation of the marvelous, of being in resonance with the world.” - Ansel Adams, Introduction to Portfolio III, Sierra Club; San Francisco, 1960

The Abode of Snow, from Glacier Point, Yosemite, c. 1925 gelatin silver print, printed c. 1927 5 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches signed lower right: Ansel Adams numbered lower left: 373 Provenance: Collection of Virginia Best Adams Collection of Anne Adams Helms From a Private Collection In 1927, Ansel Adams met the San Francisco art patron, Albert Bender, and showed Bender a sample portfolio. Bender immediately ordered 50 copies of the portfolio to give to friends and other art patrons, fortifying Adams’s career as the leading photographer of the 20th century. Steeped in nature, the photographs are printed on a very thin and beautiful Kodak Vitava Athena Grade T Parchment paper. In these prints Adams displayed his mastery of the subject, of the grand and abstract landscape, emphasizing dark rich black tones and pure white tones. These 1927 masterpieces cemented Adams’s youthful work as the basic building blocks of American landscape photography. This silver gelatin print on Kodak Vitava Athena paper is signed and numbered in pencil beneath the image. This print was made in 1927 for the Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras portfolio in a projected edition of 150, of which it is thought that no more than 75 copies were ever delivered to clients. Accompanied by the original folder with typeset title. $8,000 – $12,000

353 ANSEL ADAMS 1902-1984
The Teton Range and Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, 1942 gelatin silver print, print 16, printed 1962 7 3/4 x 9 3/8 inches signed lower right on mat: Ansel Adams signed recto with printed black ink stamp verso: “SPECIAL EDITION OF FINE PRINTS / PHOTOGRAPHS OF/ GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK / AND / YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK / by / ANSEL ADAMS / Print No. 16 of S.E.G.T & Y. No 7 / Tetons and Snake River (in Ansel’s hand ink) / Printed especially for the / Grand Teton Lodge Company Provenance: Grand Teton Lodge Company (Jenny Lake Climbing Museum), September 1963 From the Collection of Byron Dudley In the summer of 1953, sixteen-year-old Byron Dudley travelled alone by bus from Chicago to Jackson Hole. “For twenty-two days during that summer of wonder in the Tetons, I camped at Jenny Lake Campground and swam in String Lake in the afternoons,” Dudley noted. “Immediately to the west rose the sawtooth summit of Mt. Teewinot. I spent days hiking into the heart of the Tetons by way of Cascade Canyon, Paintbrush Canyon, Garnet Canyon, and Granite Canyon, discovering the stunning alpine landscape. I hiked over the Paintbrush Divide to Lake Solitude. I enjoyed the impressive view of the west side of the Tetons—the Grand, Middle, and South Tetons—the view first observed by John Colter in 1808. “By late August, it was time to break camp at Jenny Lake and start the fifteen-hundred-mile journey hitchhiking home to La Grange Park, Illinois… I arrived home with rolls of Kodachrome film to be processed and journal notes to be edited. I arrived home a changed person.” Byron Dudley’s lifelong connection to the American West was shaped by youthful adventure, a developing passion for photography, and a deep admiration for the work of Ansel Adams. The photograph at the center of Dudley’s recollections is this rare contact print of Ansel Adams’s celebrated view of the Grand Tetons, produced for a special edition commissioned by the Grand Teton Lodge Company in the early 1960s. The collaboration was short-lived, leaving relatively few examples of these Special Edition Grand Tetons and Yellowstone prints. “In September 1962, before my senior year at Michigan State University, my father and I were camping at Jenny Lake and hiking in the Tetons. We stood at the Snake River Overlook where Ansel Adams photographed the Tetons and Snake River. “Grand Teton National Park in late September 1962 was a quiet place after the summer season, with autumn colors along the Snake River and the first snows on the Tetons. The small mountain-climbing museum at Jenny Lake was open. I was surprised to see the Yellowstone and Teton photographs atop the tall display cases. There were eight 8 x 10 black-and-white prints mounted on 11 x 14 white cardboard that I immediately recognized as the work of Ansel Adams. On display was the stunning, iconic photograph he made in 1942, The Tetons and the Snake River. “I asked the curator about the photographs, how he happened to have them, and whether they were for sale. He said Ansel Adams had brought them to the museum the previous day. I told him of my admiration for Adams’s photography and my desire to purchase the Teton and Snake River photograph. He said it was for sale. That is where I discovered and acquired this classic Ansel Adams photograph on a quiet September day at the Climbing Museum at Jenny Lake in the Tetons.” In 1964, Byron Dudley visited Adams in Carmel: “My visit with Ansel Adams began with a walk up a rising, curving, sandy brick sidewalk to his half-hidden home, which overlooked the Pacific Ocean at Carmel Highlands. At his front door, there was a small metal sign: VISITS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Hesitant to ring the doorbell but reluctant to leave, I decided to ring and seek an appointment with Ansel Adams. “Mrs. Adams opened the door, introduced herself, and greeted me with a smile. “Ansel strode through the studio and toward the front door with heavy steps that echoed from the bare dark wooden floor. He was not a tall man but rather rotund with a large round head, full beard and broad smile. His sharp, clear, hazel-brown eyes were separated by a sharp, misshapen, slightly off-center nose that was broken during the San Francisco earthquake in 1906 when he was four years old. He wore a gray flannel shirt, a plain blue tie with a simple silver clasp, dark gray pants and Wellington boots. He greeted me warmly as we shook hands and welcomed me into his home. “We talked of his work: of teaching, of photography, of printing, and of the Sierra Club. He expressed concern for the problems of our cities and the plight of our planet Earth. He was a personable man with interesting and interested eyes. More youthful in energy than most men half his age, he spoke with intensity and a passion for photography. We discussed photography as an art form for the humanization of others, an art form for the development of more sensitive, positive people who might become more responsive to and more caring for the environment and for each other. “Time became the dominant element of our talk: time for action, time remaining for preserving the environment, time for writing, time for teaching, time for talking, and time to meet the many demands of the day. All too soon, it was nearly noon, and we were out of time. I thanked him for the time we had shared, the time he had given me. He smiled, shook my hand, and asked me to come again. As I thanked him for his time with me, he handed me a gift, a portfolio of black-and-white prints from an exhibit in San Francisco. I thanked him for his kindness and for his photographs as we stood looking at the ocean below. “We walked to the front door, where I said goodbye to Ansel Adams.” $25,000 – $35,000 — 152 —

354 WILLIAM HENRY JACKSON 1843-1942
Ice Palace at Leadville, 1896 hand-colored silver print 21 x 38 1/2 inches inscribed lower right: 1685. Ice Palace at Leadville Colo.Copyrighted 1896 By W.H. Jackson & Co. Phot. Denver Colo Provenance: From a Private Collection Before the winter of 1895, the townspeople of Leadville, Colorado proposed a mammoth ice castle to draw sightseers, create jobs, and rescue the town’s flagging economy. Anticipating trains full of tourists, the project began by hiring Charles E. Jay, an architect who had designed an ice palace in St. Paul, Minnesota. Tingley S. Wood was hired to build the ice palace and the Leadville Ice Company got the contract to produce the ice. Construction began November 1, 1895 with a crew of 250 men working day and night. Day laborers were paid $2.50 per day and skilled laborers were paid $3.00 per day. The palace was more than 58,000 square feet – 325 x 180 feet, utilizing 180,000 board feet of lumber and 5,000 tons of ice. The palace was supported by a complex framework of trusses, girders, and timber, with the ice for appearance only. The ice was trimmed to size and placed in forms, then sprayed with water, which served as mortar to bind the blocks together. The towers reached 90 feet high by 40 feet wide, and the palace encompassed 5 acres of ground. Just 36 days later, the Ice Palace, between Seventh and Eighth Streets on top of Capitol Hill, was opened on January 1, 1896. Visitors from far and wide were amazed by the spectacular castle with its impressive size, electric lights casting a glow through the translucent walls, and American Beauty roses and 18-inch trout frozen in blocks of clear ice decorating the inside walls. Outside, the castle was adorned with gleaming searchlights with prismatic colors and when visitors arrived at night, they were awe-struck. The Ice Palace was a fairyland come true to the children who visited, overwhelmed by the popcorn machines, the merry-go-round, and the skating rink. For three months, the Crystal Carnival entertained more than 250,000 visitors until an early thaw in mid-March. The winter of 1895 and 1896 was the grandest Leadville had ever known. The visitors said that when the sun shone through the ice, it looked like 1,000 sparkling lights. Finally, the Ice Palace began to melt and the building was condemned on March 28, though skaters continued to skate on the ice rink until June. It remained standing for some time after that, as 5,000 tons of ice takes a while to melt. The Ice Palace’s last formal event was May Day’s maypole skating party. The ice was in excellent shape and many ladies and gentlemen spent an evening skating instead of dancing around the maypole. $10,000 – $15,000

Thomas Molesworth and the Brinkerhoff Legacy: Mid-Century Western Design at the Bear River Duck Club My first introduction to the furniture of Thomas Molesworth’s Shoshone Furniture Company was in 1988 when I purchased the contents of Hunter Hereford Ranch, located on Antelope Flats Road in Grand Teton National Park. We opened Fighting Bear Antiques in 1981, and I had already grown to appreciate the rustic furniture design of Jackson’s early furniture makers—such as the Kranenberg brothers, who built the Cowboy Bar on Jackson’s town square—as well as the furnishings at many of the area’s dude ranches. I immediately fell in love with Molesworth Furniture and realized it was something special and sophisticated but distinctly Western. Thomas Canada Molesworth (1890-1977) was born in Topeka, Kansas to a wealthy family. At an early age, his family moved to a ranch near Forsyth, Montana. Molesworth, an aspiring artist, attended the Art Institute of Chicago; however, due to the family financial difficulties, his father told him he was “no Charlie Russell” and so he returned to Montana. On returning from Chicago, Molesworth managed the Rowe Furniture Company in Billings, Montana from 1923 to 1930. In 1931 Molesworth moved to Cody, Wyoming and opened the Shoshone Furniture Company. The business was a general line furniture store; they even sold coffins. However, as the United States was in the height of the Depression, business was very slow. Out of desperation, Molesworth built a set of simple rustic furniture and put it in his front window. Shortly thereafter, Moses Annenberg, who had just purchased a ranch on Sand Creek, near Beulah, Wyoming, came into the store and ordered over 245 pieces of furniture for his extensive property, Ranch A. His time at the Art Institute played a pivotal role in the creation of his style of furniture for the Shoshone Furniture Company. Annenberg’s financial boost started the Shoshone Furniture Company on a very successful path that would last until 1961. Molesworth furnished many hotels, including the Plains Hotel in Cheyenne and the Wort Hotel in Jackson, Wyoming. This exposure let to many important commissions for clients such as W. R. Coe (Coe Lodge), Robert Woodruff (TE Ranch on the South Fork), George Summers (for his lodge in Glenwood Springs, Colorado) and Zach Brinkerhoff (for his lodge in Grand Teton National Park and his residence at Bear River Duck Club in Brigham City, Utah). Zach Brinkerhoff (1913-2011) grew up in Grand Bayou, Louisiana, to a wealthy family with ties to early oil discoveries in Louisiana. After attending the University of Texas in Austin (1931-1935), he worked as an oil roughneck. Around 1940, he started Brinkerhoff Drilling with his father in Illinois. When Wyoming experienced an oil boom in the 1940s, Brinkerhoff moved to Rock Springs, and he soon became Wyoming’s largest independent oil producer. Zach Brinkerfoff most likely learned about Tom Molesworth from a hunting acquaintance. He had Molesworth furnish The Brinkerhoff Lodge on Jackson Lake in 1947 as well as his residence at the Bear River Duck Club. The Brinkerhoff Lodge was sold to the US Government in the 1950s, but Zach retained the furniture in the Duck Club until his death in 2011. The Duck Club furniture is a great suite reflecting Molesworth’s Postwar style. The Couch with built-in side tables displays the modernism and functionality of his contemporary vision. The Gun Cabinet, with its three-dimensional ducks in flight and painted leather details, is an artistic masterpiece, as are the card table and sling seat chairs. The Desk is large and befitting an executive, with great original leather. Terry Winchell is the author of the book, Thomas Molesworth: The Pioneer of Western Design. We are grateful to him for writing this essay.

378 LYNNE DREXLER 1928-1999
Summer, 1995 oil on canvas 26 x 24 inches verso: signed, titled and dated Provenance: Greenhut Galleries, Portland, ME From a Private Collection Lynne Drexler (1928-1999) was an American painter whose luminous, color-rich compositions placed her among the second generation of Abstract Expressionists. Born in Newport News, Virginia, she studied at the Richmond Professional Institute and the College of William and Mary before moving to New York City in 1955. There, she attended Hans Hofmann’s School of Fine Arts and later studied with Robert Motherwell at Hunter College, who encouraged her to pursue painting professionally. “I could not stop painting once I got started,” Drexler recalled. Immersed in the Greenwich Village art scene, Drexler frequented the influential 8th Street Club and Cedar Tavern and received a solo exhibition at the Tanager Gallery in 1961. Her distinctive paintings combine bold color, rhythmic form, and patch-like brushwork, often suggesting landscapes and organic forms. In her later years, Drexler settled on Monhegan Island, Maine, where the rugged coastal environment inspired an increasingly personal synthesis of abstraction and representation. $30,000 – $50,000 — 164 —

The property will be offered by Jackson Hole Art Auction as agent for the consignors, unless the catalog indicates otherwise. 1. Jackson Hole Art Auction operates as an agent of the seller only. It is not responsible in the event any buyer or seller at the auction fails to live up to their respective agreements, including failure of the seller to deliver any property to buyers. Jackson Hole Art Auction assumes no risk, liability, or responsibility beyond the limited warranty contained herein. a. All property is sold “AS IS.” There are no representations or warranties that extend beyond these Terms and Conditions of Sale. All works shall be available for examination prior to the sale. Jackson Hole Art Auction, and its agents and consignors, make no representations or warranties as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, correctness of the catalog or description, including, but not limited to, the authenticity, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, dates, exhibitions, literary or historical relevance of any property, and, no statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalog, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Nor are there any representations and warranties, express or implied, as to whether the purchaser acquires any copyrights, including, but not limited to, any reproduction rights in any property. Contents of this catalog are subject to change or supplementation before or during the sale, including the sale of any lot. 2. Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size, and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. Note, primary (unframed) catalog images should be used for color matching. 3. A buyer’s premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. If paying Jackson Hole Art Auction directly by cash, check or bank wire, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer’s premium of 20% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including $1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000, plus any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges. The buyer’s premium is calculated separately for each lot. If paying by credit card, there is a credit card processing fee on the total purchase price including any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges. Bids placed through online platforms may incur additional buyer’s premium and service fees, which will be listed in the terms & conditions on the respective website. 4. Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to withdraw any property before or during the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. 5. Except as may be announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalog. 6. Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser, subject to reserves. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or to reoffer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, Jackson Hole Art Auction’s sale record shall be final and conclusive. Jackson Hole Art Auction, in its discretion, may execute orders or absentee bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at the auction; however, Jackson Hole Art Auction is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith. 7. If the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, determines that any bid is below the reserve of the article offered, he or she may reject the same and withdraw the article from sale, and, if having acknowledged an opening or other bid, the auctioneer decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he or she may reject the advance. 8. On the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel, the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer assumes full risk and responsibility for the offered lot, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein and is immediately obligated to pay the full purchase price or such parts thereof as Jackson Hole Art Auction may then require. All sales are final, and there shall be no exchanges or returns. Payment shall be made by cash, check, bank wire, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. (See, paragraph 3 above: “If paying by credit card . . .”) In addition to other remedies available to us by law, Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to impose, from the date of sale, a late charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) of the total purchase price, if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth. a. All property must be removed by the purchaser at his or her expense not later than (10) business days following the sale, and if it is not so removed, (i) a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale (until its removal) will be payable to us by the purchaser, with a minimum of 5% of the total purchase price due for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale, and (ii) we may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the purchaser. b.

The purchaser will be liable for any deficiency, any and all costs, handling charges, late charges, expenses, and commissions of both sales, legal fees, and expenses, collection fees, and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted and assigned the property or money to Jackson Hole Art Auction or its agents and consignors or any of their affiliated companies, and Jackson Hole Art Auction may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due. Jackson Hole Art Auction and its agents and consignors shall have all of the rights accorded to a secured party under the Wyoming Uniform Commercial Code. The purchaser of each lot agrees that each lot is unique and that Jackson Hole Art Auction, in its sole discretion, shall not be required to sell or otherwise seek to mitigate damages should such purchaser fail to pay the total purchase price. Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Jackson Hole Art Auction shall have collected good funds. Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to hold all purchases pending collection of the total purchase price. 9. All lots are subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price acceptable to the consignor. In such instances, Jackson Hole Art Auction may implement the reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor. In instances where Jackson Hole Art Auction has an interest in the lot, it may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. Jackson Hole Art Auction, or its agents or consignors, may also bid upon other property listed in this catalog.

S A LE S TA X Jackson Hole Art Auction has met the threshold for an economic nexus, and is therefore required to collect sales tax, in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. If the purchaser is shipping to any of these states, Jackson Hole Art Auction is required by law to add the appropriate state and local sales tax to the purchaser’s invoice. The following states do not currently have sales tax and/or applicable economic nexus laws, and as a result Jackson Hole Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon. Due to the variable nature of auction sales, and the small window in which they occur, Jackson Hole Art Auction does not yet know if the states not listed above will require sales tax collection, as that will be determined by the total dollar amount sold into each state—which cannot be predicted. Jackson Hole Art Auction will strive to inform the purchaser at the time of invoicing if sales tax collection is required; however, it may be necessary to invoice for sales tax post-sale if the threshold for an economic nexus in the purchaser’s state is met after the purchaser has paid. Even if Jackson Hole Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from the purchaser’s state, unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be required to pay all applicable state and local sales, gross receipts, and compensation tax per the terms and conditions. If the purchaser has a valid resale certificate, the purchaser will not be required to pay sales tax. Please provide a copy of this certificate at the time of registration for tax compliance. — 189 —
