Quality Up, Prices Down in Western Art

September 10, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Liveauctioneers.com promotes their own access to Cowan’s sale of Western Art in Cincinnati Cleveland tomorrow:

Henry Sharp, Portrait of Elk Foot Jerry

A superb grouping of works by the best-known artists of the American West will be offered in Cowan’s American Indian and Western Art Auction on Sept. 11, 2009, with Internet live bidding provided by LiveAuctioneers.com. The event includes strong examples from both the 19th-century master painters of the West, such as Sharp, Farny, Russell, and Hauser; and noted 20th-century Western artists such as C.S. Price, Coleman, Schenck and Phippen.

“September’s sale rivals our auction of the Marge Schott collection of Western art in 2006,” said Graydon Sikes, Cowan’s director of Paintings and Works on Paper. “Though the paintings themselves may not reach the high prices achieved in that sale, as a group they make up a more comprehensive representation of the Western art genre.”

The group is made up of consignments from three major collections, including the Estate of Dr. Edward Woliver of Cincinnati, an Oklahoma City collection, and a foundation in Columbus, Ohio.
