Estimate: $20,000 / 30,000

NOTE: Herzog, a centenarian, was born in Bremen, Germany and began his fine art training at the presti-gious Dusseldorf Academy in 1849 under the auspices of Andreas Achenbach. Known for his highly detailed land and seascapes and ability to illuminate a scene, Herzog early in his career enjoyed patronage from some of Europe’s high nobility and ruling elite including Queen Victoria, the Grand Duke Alexander of Russian, the Countess of Flanders et al.

A true devotee of nature the artist travelled extensively throughout Europe before moving permanently to the United States in the late 1860s settling in Philadelphia. From his first trip out West in 1873 to his last in 1905, Herzog made numerous journeys throughout the West and Northwest and going as far south as Mexico. The artist was in constant pursuit to find the most beautiful, inspiring and idyllic settings and he enjoyed great criti-cal acclaim throughout his long life.

Herzog did not date any of his paintings but we can place Farralon Islands, Pacific Coast as sometime after 1873 when the artist made his first trip to the Ameri-can West. Spanish explorer Sebastian Vizcaino first charted the Farallon’s in 1603 with their name literally translating into “rocks out of the sea”. In Herzog’s Farallon Islands, Pacific Coast the artist demonstrates his uncanny ability for not only choosing an interest-ing and dramatic subject but also for conveying strong atmospheric effects, subtle illumination and capturing the poignant moment of the day.

2082WILLIAM HERBERT “BUCK” DUNTON(American 1878-1936) The Trail Boss (Settlers and Seeds - Civiliazation’s Forerunners) Oil on canvas36 x 24 inches/ 91.5 x 61 centimetersSigned lower right “W. Herbert Dunton”Frame: 42 x 29.75 inches/ 106.6 x 75.6 centimetersPROVENANCE: D.M. Ferry & Co.; to Harris Moran, Modesto, California

Estimate: $200,000 / 300,000

LITERATURE: Julie Schimmel, The Art and Life of W. Herbert Dunton, 1878-1936, Austin: University of Texas Press and Stark Museum of Art, 1984.

NOTE: William Herbert Dunton, best known as “Buck” amongst his friends, grew up as a spirited outdoorsman in Augusta, Maine eventually travelling extensively throughout the West and Mexico. Working as a ranch hand and cowboy, Dunton witnessed first hand the closing in of the Western frontier with barbed wire, sheep and cattle ranches and an increasing number of home-steaders.

Prior to Dunton’s arrival in Taos, NM. in 1912, the artist had earned a well deserved reputation as one of the nation’s preeminent commercial illustrators contributing regularly to periodicals such as Collier’s, Harper’s, Scribner’s, Field & Stream, Cosmopolitan Magazine, McClure’s et al. as well as illustrating popular novels for authors such as Zane Grey, Eugene Thwing and Gregory Jackson.

The Trail Boss (Settlers and Seeds, Civiliza-tion’s Forerunners) was acquired by the D. M. Ferry & Company for use as an advertise-ment illustration probably in 1910 (see inset). Julie Schimmel references a Trail Boss (p.222) as “unlocated” in her seminal text on the artist and goes on to discuss these frontal compositions by the artist “ . . . in which a cowboy or hunter rides toward the spectator, this formula providing Dunton with the challenge of composing foreshortened figures (p.75)”.

Schimmel goes on to state that “Dunton was a master chronicler of the Old West known for his accuracy and authenticity of detail and prior to his move to Taos, his paintings are light filled landscapes placed within sunlit environments elevating and glorifying his iconic subjects of the cowboy life . . . (and) appears as if they were cre-ated outdoors and as if the landscape and light were based on immediate perception.”(pp. 71, 75).

One of the artist’s greatest talents was his ability to lift the ordinary person and elevate him to mythic proportion as one of the celebrated icons of the Old West. As Dunton himself said “. . . the west has passed – more’s the pity. In another twenty-five years the old-time westerner will have gone too – gone with the buffalo and the antelope. I’m going to hand down to posterity a bit of unadulterated real thing, if it’s the last thing I do – I’m going to do it, muy pronto. (Robinson, F. Warner. “Dunton – Westerner.” American Maga-zine of Art 15 (October, 1924, p. 502).

Estimate: $20,000 / 30,000

LITERATURE: Peter H. Falk, Who Was Who in Ameri-can Art: 1564-1975, Sound View Press, Madison, CT., 1999, Vol. II, p. 1252.

NOTE: Gilbert Gaul, born Jersey City, NJ., 1855, attended Claverack Military Academy where he aspired to a naval career. Due to ill health he turned to fine art first studying with Lemuel Wilmarth at the National Academy of Design, NYC and then later with J. G. Brown at the Arts Student League, NYC. Gaul was awarded the prestigious Associate National Academician title in 1879 following full National Academician status in 1882.

Gaul is primarily known as a historical illustrator & chroni-cler of the War Between the States and the Old West. His Holding the Line at All Hazards won a gold medal at the American Art Association in 1881, a Civil War depiction capturing the camaraderie and exhilaration of army life particularly sympathetic to the Southern cause. Another pitched battle scene titled Charging the Battery took a bronze medal at the Paris Universal Exposition in 1882.

The artist made his first trip out West in 1876 with subsequent visits living with the Cheyenne and other Native American tribes. Between travels throughout the West, his farm in Tennessee and his NYC Tenth St. studio, the artist was commissioned as a special agent for the 1890 United States census where he was the last known artist to sketch the Sioux Chief, Sitting Bull.

The artist is known for producing numerous illustrations for the periodicals Scribner’s and Century Magazine in addition to creating work for the Philadelphia publisher J.B. Lipincott. It is very likely that Unexpected Encounter is a heretofore unknown illustration by Gaul for one of the aforementioned journals.

In Unexpected Encounter, Gaul places a lone rider ascend-ing a snow filled crag coming upon three wolves. The horse, already aware of the wolves presence, has reared up on his hind legs as the lone rider attempts to regain control of his mount through the use of the crop. Rendered in dynamic brushwork and muted earth tones, the artist captures in high drama the mortal dangers of being a cowboy in the Old West.

Estimate: $60,000 / 90,000

PROVENANCE: Private Collection, Florida

NOTE: The Caravan has been submitted to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, Cody, Wyoming for consideration to be included in a forthcoming addendum to the Peter H. Hassrick & Melissa J. Webster, Frederic Remington: A Catalogue Raisonne of Paintings, Watercolors and Drawings, BBHC, Cody, WY., University of Washington Press, Seattle, 1996.

At the turn of the 19th Century, Frederic Remington was a household name and the nation’s leading illustrator, painter and sculptor of the characters of the Old West. The artist is credited as one of the first pioneers in the use of the newly invented roll film box camera and it is known that he admired and studied the work of Edward Muyridge. Muybridge in 1877 published his seminal text Animal Locomotion where for the fist time animals and humans where captured in stop-action photography.

As the giant photograph archive at the Frederic Rem-ington Art Museum in Ogdensburg, NY attests, the artist loved being on both sides of the camera and literally thousands of photographs by Remington, of Remington or given to Remington bear witness to his use of and love for photography.

The Caravan was inspired by Remington’s trip to Algiers, Algeria in February & March of 1894 accompanied by his friend and colleague Poultney Bigelow. Poultney and Remington both played on the Yale football team and Poultney’s father, John Bigelow, was the co-owner of the New York Evening Post; a frequent solicitor of Reming-ton’s illustrations for their periodical. Poultney was a lawyer, author and journalist who travelled extensively as well as the founder of Outing Magazine, another source for Remington’s illustrations.

The painting is signed lower left “Frederic Remington from photograph” meaning it is very likely a photograph that Remington took himself. It is known that a group of eleven works of art associated with the Remington-Bigelow Algiers trip were illustrated in Harper’s Monthly in February of 1895. As the The Caravan is painted en grisaille the implication stands that it was created for purposes of book or periodical illustration.

In the painting we witness an Englishman (Poultney Bigelow?) wearing his pith helmet accompanied by a woman in hat being drawn by yoked oxen across the sands and desert of Algeria. The second ox drawn cart carries what appears to be an African spotted leopard.

LITERATURE: Included with Straight, No Chaser (Crossing), 1999 is a four-page document from Gemini G.E.L., llc., Los Angeles, California signed by the artist describing their collaboration and the specific methods and techniques used in its’ creation.

NOTE: Elizabeth Murray was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1940 and graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1962 earning a Master of Fine Arts from Mills College in 1964. Her first exhibition was in 1971 in the Whitney Museum of American Art Annual Exhibition showing an oil painting titled Children Meeting (in the permanent collection of the Whitney) evocative of human characteristics and pure feeling arrived at through an interaction of non-figurative shapes, color and line. She is particularly revered for her use of the shaped canvas.

In 2006 she was one of only four female artists to be honored with a widely praised retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA, NYC). Her untime-ly death two years later the New York Times obituary wrote that Murray “reshaped Modernist abstraction in a high-spirited, cartoon-based, language of form whose subjects included domestic life, relationships and the nature of painting itself . . .”(Roberta Smith, “Elizabeth Murray, 66, Artist of Vivid Forms, Dies”, The New York Times, 13 August 2007).

The Gemini, G.E.L. documents states that Crossing required 16 lithographic runs and 11 screen runs. The artist cut and assembled the elements and during and after the assembly stage, Murray hand colored and painted each piece. The work was then folded and manipulated into its final configuration making each piece an unique variant within the total edition of 33.

ESTIMATES OF VALUEAll estimates of value as published in our Catalogues or elsewhere are statements of qualified opinion as to the range of the price a willing buyer might pay for the Property at auction. The actual price paid at auction or subsequently, may vary substantially from the estimates. MA shall not be liable for any such differential.BUYER’S DEFAULTIf a Buyer fails to pay for purchased Property, or otherwise does not comply with these Conditions of Sale, the Buyer shall be in default. In addition to all remedies available in law, to MA and to the Consignor, the Buyer shall be liable for the entire Purchase price.

Consignor for the additional fees, commissions and costs on both sales (including handling, storage and court costs and attorney’s fees) resulting from the cancellation or resale of the Property and in the event of resale, any deficiency which may result.RESCISSIONThe sole and exclusive remedy, available only to the original buyer, is the limited right of rescission set forth herein. MA will cancel the sale of Property if the original buyer establishes to our satisfaction that there has been a breach of the Consignor’s warran-ty of title, or that the identification of Authorship* of the Property as set forth in Bold Type Heading is not substantially correct, based on a fair reading of the Catalogue (as may be amended by posted or announced changes.) IN ALL INSTANCES, YOU MUST GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, SETTING FORTH THE BASIS FOR YOUR CLAIM AND, AT YOUR SOLE EXPENSE AND RISK, RETURN THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION TO MA WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER NOTICE IS GIVEN AND IN THE SAME CONDITION AS WHEN SOLD. Upon review of the claim and the property, if we are satisfied with the bases for your claim and the property is in the same condition it was in when sold, MA will rescind the sale and return to you the Purchase price, unless we have already remitted funds to the Consignor.

When MA is to pack and ship, MA will provide to the bidder with a quote for cost of packing and handling and the UPS fee. The Purchaser is responsible for any insurance of the shipment.

PROPERTY MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED OR PROTECTED SPECIESProperty that contains any percentage of material made or potentially made from endangered and/or other protected species of wildlife are, as a courtesy, marked in the catalogue with the symbol “ * ”. Michaan’s Auctions does not accept any responsibili-ty or liability for failing to mark such lots. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods.

Prospective buyers are advised that several coun-tries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of proscribed materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the rel-evant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on property containing wildlife material. Regulations may vary as the U.S. prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old.

It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsi-bility to research and satisfy the require-ments of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. Prospective buyers must also note that the inability or delay in obtaining permits, licens-es or other permissions to import or export property containing potentially regulated wildlife material will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said property or the delay in payment of pur-chased items in accordance with the Conditions of Sale.

Definitions of Authorship:This is to qualify the relationship between the object and the named person in the catalogue. The follow-ing conventions for attribution are used by Michaan’s Auctions:

Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by the art-ist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indi-cates that in our opinion the work is by the artists named.

Attributed to Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category.

Studio of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction.

Circle of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified by distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil.

Style of ......; follower of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the art-ist’s style, contemporary or near contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil.

Manner of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date.

after Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist.

The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist.

The term bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand.“bearing signature...”/”bearing date...”/”bearing inscription...” In our opinion the signature/date/inscription is by a hand other than that of the artist.

Typical Headings:

FURNITURE

George III Mahogany Chest of DrawersThird Quarter 18th Century

This heading, with date included, means that the piece is, in our opinion, of the period indi-cated with no major alterations or restora-tions.

George III Mahogany Chest of DrawersThis heading, without the inclusion of the date, indicates that, in our opinion, the piece, while basically of the period, has undergone signifi-cant restoration and alteration.

George III Style Mahogany Chest of DrawersThe inclusion of the word “style” in the head-ing indicates that, in our opinion, the piece was made as an intentional reproduction of an ear-lier style.

BRONZES

Antoine-Louis BaryeThis heading indicates that the casting and pat-ination were done by the artist or with his direct authorization or supervsion.

Cast After a Model by Antoine-Louis BaryeThis heading indicates that the casting and pat-ination of a known Barye model were done by another, i.e., artisans at the F. Barbedienne or other foundry.

CERAMICS

Meissen Porcelain Cup and SaucerLate 19th Century

This states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century.

Meissen Porcelain Cup and a SaucerLate 19th Century

Again, this states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quar-ter of the 19th Century, but it also indicates that the cup and saucer may not have been “born” together.

Meissen Porcelain Cup and SaucerCirca 1900

This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date specified, not neces-sarily made at the Meissen factory.

‘Meissen’ Porcelain Cup and a Saucer19th Century

This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date speci-fied, not necessarily made at the Meissen facto-ry.

Meissen Porcelain Cup and SaucerThe title without a specific date simply states that the pieces were made at the Meissen fac-tory but does not specify when, implying that their age is questionable.
