    Two-Session Sale From March in Montana Auction Offers Rudolph Gorman’s Paintings, Bronze Sculpture From Bill Nebeker, and More

    This upcoming two-session sale from March in Montana Auction features a variety of Western, historical, and contemporary works of art, as well as Native American collectibles.  Leading the first day of the sale are two oil paintings by Rudolph Carl Gorman. A Navajo artist, Gorman introduced the magical Southwest desert landscape and Native American culture to the American art scene. The representations of Navajo women in Gorman's work often make use of traditional stone lithography and pastel, set against a serene desert landscape. Other notable works in the catalog include an oil on canvas painting by Lone Wolf. One of the Old West's most colorful figures, Lone Wolf (also known as Hart M. Schultz) was a bridge between Old and New West cultures. He was also a pioneer in Native American academic painting, with his people the subject of most of his work. The offered piece has Lone Wolf’s signature in the lower left corner.  Among the top lots in the second session of this event is a bronze sculpture with an inscription by American artist Bill Nebeker. The sculptures of Nebeker capture the realities of ranch life in the American West. A touch of humor and gentle tributes mark the artist's work. Bidders can also consider a collection of 13 Native American jewelry pieces, high cuff moccasins, and more.

    Beaded Assiniboine War Shirt and Woven Navajo Rug Highlight March in Montana Auction’s Upcoming Sale

    The Assiniboine or Assiniboin people are Native Americans belonging to the Northern Great Plains of North America. Known for their horsemanship skills, the men of the tribe were well-trained in hunting and warfare. Today, many of Assiniboine people live along with other tribes, including Gros Ventre. A war shirt used by Assiniboine/ Gros Ventre (circa 1885) is a key highlight of the upcoming March in Montana sale. This intricately beaded and striped piece is accented with a fringed bib. Such shirts were crafted for special occasions such as annual celebrations and ceremonies such as the Sun Dance. Another noteworthy lot is a watercolor painting titled Black Hank/A Sheep Herder by William Bill Gollings. The work was featured in A Gollings Sketchbook, A Collection of Sketches by the Cowboy Artist, by Robert H. Sherger. A Navajo rug woven with four Yéi figures and a rainbow guardian figure is a striking piece in this sale. It is decorated with a stepped border and feathers. The Navajo people view the Yéi as their spirit deities. Those related to elements of nature are regarded as the most generous.
