Santa Fe Art Auction is honored to offer select artworks from the Collection of Marlene & Grant Wilkins. The Wilkins were avid lifelong collectors of Native American art, with an appreciation founded via frequent visits to Santa Fe, Taos, Denver, and Phoenix where they studied outstanding private and public collections in such institutions as the Denver Art Museum, the Heard Museum, and the Millicent Rogers Museum. In addition to his role as a prominent art collector, Grant Wilkins served on numerous museum and foundation boards prior to his 2018 passing, including those of the Millicent Rogers Museum, the Heard Museum, the Mesa Verde Foundation, and the Colorado History Museum.

Grant and Marlene’s collecting began in 1965 when Navajo friends paid the Wilkins a visit and brought gifts of wedding baskets and weavings. These pieces sparked the beginning of their collection, and for the next twenty-five years Grant and Marlene purchased both contemporary and historic pieces. Items were acquired through prominent dealers, through auctions, from other collectors, and from the artists themselves. Many of these pieces came with charming stories that generated fond memories of the collecting process. For example, they have a photo of the son of the dealer from whom they purchased a large San Ildefonso storage jar nestled inside the piece. They boy had to be removed from the pot before the Wilkins could take possession of it.

A standout piece in the collection, Allan Houser’s “Pueblo Woman” was featured in Barbara Pearlman’s Allan Houser (p. 177), and was displayed at the United Nations prior to the Wilkins’ acquisition of the piece. The artwork was also featured in the Smithsonian Institution Museum of the American Indian debut exhibition, Native Modernism: The Art of George Morrison and Allan Houser, exhibited from September 21, 2004 to November 6, 2005. This, and the many other highlights from the Wilkins Collection, stand as fine examples of the artistic fruits of a lifetime of thoughtful and careful collecting.

Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado, Arizona. Burbank would use the trading post as a home base while he traveled Hopi and Navajo country. During these visits, he began using red Conté crayon which he thought enhanced the texture of the Indian faces.

Elbridge Ayer Burbank, of Harvard, Illinois, painted or drew approximately 1200 portraits of Native Americans from more than 125 of the nation’s tribes, as well as still lifes, landscapes, and scenes of Indian domestic ritual. His works, especially of the Indian chiefs and warriors such as Geronimo, Chief Joseph, Chief Gall, and Standing Soldier among others, are essential because he painted his subjects from life, they are ethnographically honest and in some instances, the only portrait of the sitter. As art historian Ashley Waechter has observed, “Burbank’s choice of subject matter and the skilled portrayal of his sitters’ individuality led to great success, and he found that painting these portraits was less stressful than painting portraits commissioned by the more demanding upper echelons of society.”

His autobiography, Burbank Among the Indians is highly collectible in early editions. Even though Burbank has never attained the status or reputation of George Catlin or Karl Bodmer, his works are crucial because they are unromantic realizations of a culture in crisis and decline at the turn of the last century. His portraits are unsentimental, his subjects gaze back at Burbank (and us) with dignity and candor.

In time, Burbank’s technical ability and attention to detail attracted the attention of patrons and entrepreneurs such as Joseph G. Butler Jr. and Juan Lorenzo Hubbell. Butler purchased more than 100 of his portraits and later founded the Butler Institute of American Art. Hubbell founded and owned the

54 BOB KUHN (1920-2007) High Plains Lothario, 2007 acrylic on panel 18 x 34 inches signed lower right: Kuhn inscribed verso: ALL REPRODUCTION RIGHTS ARE / RESERVED BY THE ARTIST / ―――BOB KUHN / 2007 A name synonymous with wildlife art and excellence for over 50 years, Bob Kuhn was born in Buffalo, NY and educated at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn NY. He made numerous expeditions to Africa, Alaska, and throughout Canada and the American West. He credited Paul Bransom, known as the "dean of animal artists", as a major influence because of Bransom's insistence on good, accurate drawing. Kuhn himself became renowned for his superlative drawing and a painting technique that gave his work a “sense of flair, spirit, and grace that literally soars” (Robert Bateman). In turn, Kuhn assisted many younger wildlife artists in their careers.

He was an illustrator for most of the top outdoor magazines during the 40's, 50's and 60's and in 1970, turned exclusively to easel painting of wildlife. His many awards and medals include such distinguished shows as the National Academy of Western Art and The Cowboy Hall of Fame Wildlife Art Show. In 2001, the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming held an unprecedented retrospective spanning Kuhn's 60-year career.

In 2011, a Wildlife Art article labelled Kuhn as "one of the last direct descendants from the Golden Age of Illustration...(a period) that produced the most competent legion of realist painters this continent has ever known." His work represents the best of wildlife art and has been described as having the ability to take its viewers into the very midst of nature's places, almost into the minds of the animals themselves.

This painting from Bob Kuhn at the very peak of his powers and the end of his career clearly celebrates the perpetuation of this grandest of species that came so close to extinction. Peter Hassrick, in his catalogue essay accompanying the exhibition Albert Bierstadt, Witness to a Changing West, references Montana historian Michael Punke’s book, The Last Stand, published in 2007, the year of Kuhn’s painting, in which Punke says, “The story of how the buffalo was saved from extinction is one of the great dramas of the Old West…and more profoundly, it is a story of the transition from the Old West to the new.”

Woolworth, New Hampshire Private Collection, Connecticut Private Collection, New Mexico As a member of the Texas Army that fought against Santa Anna after the Alamo in San Antonio, William Ranney was one of the few Americans to see the western frontier prior to 1840. He was in the Texas-Mexico area in 1834-35 where he witnessed the events leading to the Texas revolt which culminated in Texan independence from Mexico after the victory at San Jacinto and the capture of resident General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Ranney later recorded his western travels in paint.

Ranney completed an artist's apprenticeship in 1833 and painted the American Revolution for a short time. He saw much frontier life as the army made its way to Texas via New Orleans and assuredly made sketches and small paintings during his voyage, as did other early artist-travelers such as Alfred Jacob Miller and Albert Bierstadt. $100,000 - $180,000

60 NATALIE CURTIS BURLIN (1875-1921) King’s River Canyon, Sierra Nevada, ca. 1917-1920 oil on canvas 36 x 60 inches signed lower right: BURLIN To tell the truth, we don’t know how author, preservationist and renowned ethnomusicologist Natalie Curtis Burlin (1875-1921) managed to find the time to be an artist and paint the large oil on canvas of King’s River Canyon in the Sierra Nevada, California. It is not known exactly when it was done — scholars have narrowed it down to one summer during the years 1917-1920 during a California excursion, to escape the heat of Santa Fe, NM where she lived — but it’s similar to a group of her signed Luminist-style landscapes produced in Southern Europe, during the first decade of the 20th century.

A product of the Victorian era, she began her career in New York City as an undereducated but talented musician. At the turn of the century — pushing the envelope on what a “proper” young American woman could accomplish —Natalie Curtis’s travels in the American Southwest ignited her interest in the music and folklore of the American Indian. As her awareness and appreciation of Native American art blossomed, she worried that, in the face of white assimilation and government hostility, much of Native culture would disappear. At Hopi in Northern Arizona, she began transcribing and recording Indian music. This was a tumultuous time at Hopi as officials in charge of the Moqui Reservation forced children to attend the government school, cut their hair, forbid them to speak their native tongue or sing their songs in school. Surreptitiously, she kept recording and eventually, befriended many in the Pueblo.

Her interests were varied and her passion for her subjects was matched only by her devotion to scholarship. Not surprisingly, these passions led her to Santa Fe and its vibrant culture and art colonies. They also led her into the arms of respected painter Paul Burlin, and they would tie the knot in 1917; they lived in Santa Fe until leaving for France in 1920. Paul participated in the 1913 Armory Show in New York.

But who was Natalie Curtis Burlin really?

All we know for certain is her lush, tranquil landscapes owe more than a passing nod to other noted Luminists such as Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Edwin Church. What she may have absorbed in terms of Northern New Mexico’s enchanted colors, skies and vistas, she’ll take to her grave.

Because of her untimely death, (she was hit and killed by a taxi in Paris after delivering an address to an ethnomusicology conference), she didn’t have the opportunity to strategize her works into a coherent academic whole and give closure to her otherwise exemplary career.

Outraged at the conditions she observed on the reservations, Natalie returned East and enlisted the help of family friend, President Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy responded to the Indians’ dilemma with his trademarked compassion and vigor, and dispatched Natalie back to the Southwest with a personal letter authorizing her to record the songs of the Navajo and Hopi and other groups.

All reproduction / rights reserved by / the artist Gerard Curtis Delano was born in Massachusetts to a family that traced its ancestry in America back to the early 17th century. As a young boy, Delano showed talent at drawing cowboys, Indians, horses, and storybook adventures, but his family was not enthusiastic about his ambitions for a career in the arts. They suggested that he consider becoming an architect, which he initially pursued by working as a carpenter’s apprentice. Regardless, he began his art studies in New Bedford, MA, and by 1910 was studying at the Art Students League in New York under George Bridgman. Delano also studied with Dean Cornwell, Harvey Dunn, and N.C. Wyeth at the Grand Central School of Art. In 1919, shortly after his release from service in the U.S. Navy, Delano had a chance to “go west,” and took a job at a ranch in Colorado on the Blue River near Kremmling. In 1921 and 1922, he claimed a homestead on over sixty sagebrush and aspen-covered acres in the Arapahoe National Forest. It was after his return to New York City in 1923 for further study at the Art Students League that he sold his first western cover to Ace-High Magazine. This led to work with other publications, and soon he was firmly launched as a cover artist and illustrator for Ace-High, Western Story, Adventure, Cowboy Stories, Ranch Romances, Colliers, and others. Despite his initial success, with the advent of the Great Depression his career as a commercial artist began to unravel. Delano ended up “flat broke,” but ultimately considered this to be “the finest thing that ever happened to me.” Leaving the big city and the precarious state of his finances behind, he returned west to his homesteader’s cabin in Colorado in 1933, and began to consider his talent in a different light.

Delano continued to work as a commercial artist, but by 1940 he had decided to stake his future on producing paintings rather than illustrations. Delano visited Arizona and the Navajo Reservation in the fall of 1943, and was enraptured by the majestic beauty and pastoral serenity of the landscape and its native people. He spent summers painting in Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly. In the Navajo, he found a proud and noble people that he wanted to convey on canvas; the Navajo people and their unique environment became the dominant theme in Delano’s art, and the inspiration for many of his best-known images. He became known as the “Painter of the Navajos.”

According to scholar and historian Donald J. Hagerty: “Gerald Curtis Delano’s art is concerned with distance, clouds, silence, the Navajo love of place and the informal domestic life of the Navajos themselves. Through his sympathetic and close association with the Navajo, Delano has left us meaningful memories of a recent past, recognizing through the personal voice of his art the ancient rhythms of the land and lives of its inhabitants.”

86 THOMAS HART BENTON (1889-1975) Study for Desert Still Life oil on tin 6 ½ x 7 inches signed lower right: BenTon Thomas Hart Benton is known as the leading exponent of Regionalism, a movement characterized by its celebration of rural American subject matter, and combining elements of modernism and realism. Born in Neosho, Missouri, in 1889, Benton studied at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington and the Art Institute of Chicago intending to become a newspaper illustrator. In 1908, he went to Paris, where he enrolled in the Academie Julian, and briefly experimented with Impressionist techniques. Benton eventually returned to this country in 1911 and settled in New York. He held a variety of jobs working as a commercial artist, a decorator of ceramics, and as a set designer for a motion-picture studio, located in New Jersey. From 1914 to 1918, Benton experimented with Synchronist style paintings, a style that depended to a greater extent on color contrasts. Benton soon left New York for Norfolk, Virginia, where he was stationed with the Navy; it was there that Benton began to question the modernist ideas he had been exposed to in France and in the New York circle. Shifting away from abstraction, Benton started to portray realistic small town scenes, and increasingly grew to believe that art should express one's surroundings rather than abstract ideas and that the ordinary person most exemplified American life. Benton has some renown as the teacher of Jackson Pollock at the Art Students League in New York in the 1930s, but it was his strong belief that art should be accessible to the average person. Throughout the rest of his life, Benton continued to paint in his distinctive regionalist manner. Fellow Missourian and former United States President Harry Truman said that Benton was "the best damned painter in America."

Study for Desert Still Life is a small jewel from his post war travels and observations of the West. The final painting, Desert Still Life, 1951, (tempera with oil on canvas mounted on panel, 27 1/8 x 35 3/8 inches) for which it is a study, was bequeathed by the artist and is part of the permanent collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

Martin Hennings. The surfaces of Hennings’ bright, sun-drenched landscapes, rendered with a thick yet meticulous brushstroke, have a tactile quality not unlike those of Victor Higgins. Yet, his commitment to detail and use of dramatic shadows affect a degree of hyperrealism. Frozen in the moment, Hennings’ cowboys and Indians, and even his own children, seem like fixed inhabitants of a timeless world.

Hennings was born to German immigrants in Penns Grove, New Jersey in 1886. When he was two, his family moved to Chicago, which then served as the primary metropolitan link between the East and West Coasts. Hennings was drawn towards Chicago’s bustling art community, which was then centered around the Chicago Art Institute. After his first visit to the Art Institute as a teenager, Hennings knew his life had been profoundly changed, boldly proclaiming: “I know what I’m going to do; I’m going to be an artist.”

Upon finishing high school, Hennings enrolled in the Art Institute, graduating with honors in 1904. He continued studying there until 1906, and returned briefly in 1912, disillusioned by his experiences in the commercial art world and longing for more intensive study. Although

he failed to win a European scholarship in the prestigious Prix de Rome competition (he finished second), he traveled to Germany and entered the Munich Academy. In Munich, he kept company with fellow Americans Walter Ufer and Victor Higgins, both of whom he had known from his Art Institute days. In 1915 Hennings returned to Chicago, forced to leave Germany on account of World War I. As Hennings’ reputation as an artist grew, he attracted the patronage of some of Chicago’s most respected citizens, including former Mayor Carter Harrison and Oscar Mayer, the meat-packing mogul. In 1917, Harrison suggested that Hennings work in Taos for a season, with the guarantee that any paintings executed would be acquired. Despite the profound impression that Taos had on Hennings, he did not settle in the town immediately; that winter he returned to Chicago, where he continued to work for several more years.

After careful consideration of several different artists’ colonies on the East Coast, Hennings made Taos his permanent home in 1923. Already well acquainted with Ufer and Higgins, Hennings was invited to join the Taos Society of Artists later that year. A peaceable man with an appetite for intellectual stimulation, Hennings remained an active member of the Society until it disbanded in 1927.

99 JOSEPH HENRY SHARP (1859-1953) Hunting Son and Eagle Star oil on canvas 22 x 27 inches signed lower right: JHSHARP Few artists of the American West have ever approached the success or mastery with which Joseph Henry Sharp chronicled the native people and ways of that vanishing frontier. Although Sharp painted in many parts of the world, among them Europe, Hawaii and the Orient, it is the work that he did among the Indians of New Mexico and Montana for which he is especially honored. His portraits and paintings of Native Americans not only are appreciated for their extraordinary artistry, but also have long been used as a source for anthropological insight into various facets of the lives of their subjects.

Sharp was born in Bridgeport, Ohio, in 1859. Like many young men who grew up in the years after the Civil War, he developed a real fascination for Indians and the West, to which he would apply his keen and unerring talent for art. Even before leaving to study in Europe, he had begun to envision the travels that he would make upon his return. Making good his promises to himself, Sharp made his first visit to southeastern Montana in 1899. The fruits of these journeys were exhibited to great acclaim at the Paris Exposition of 1900. In 1901 President Theodore Roosevelt, an admirer of Sharp's work, directed his Indian commission to build the artist a studio at the Crow Indian agency on the site of the Custer battlefield. Sharp is the only artist ever to have been honored in this way by the United States government, and paintings from this commission hold a special place in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Sharp first visited the small village of Taos, New Mexico in 1893. Not long after, while in Paris, he extolled the virtues of this small town to the young artists Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Phillips, setting into motion events that would lead to the start of the Taos Art Colony. As a result, Sharp is generally considered to be the founder of this group.

Sharp built a permanent home and studio in Taos during the early years of the twentieth century. No matter where he happened to be, he was moved to record the rapidly vanishing lives of the Native Americans. He knew well and liked the Indians he painted, feelings that they greatly reciprocated -- and felt for few other white men. As a result, he was allowed an astonishing freedom to paint them.

102 HELEN CORDERO (1915-1994) Nativity Set, ca. 1973 polychrome ceramic, hide, willow, sheepskin 13 figures ranging from 2 ½ to 6 inches in height signed on base of 3 figurines: Helen Cordero Cochiti Pueblo artist Helen Cordero created the first storyteller figure in 1964 as a tribute to her grandfather, who had been a storyteller at the Pueblo years earlier. The subsequent iconic storyteller figures have grown in popularity across the southwest since Cordero’s initial creation rose to prominence.

The ceramic sculptures typically feature a seated adult figure, which is portrayed in the midst of an animated narrative, as evidenced by a wide-open mouth. Children alternately climb on limbs, cling to the back, or nestle peacefully in the storyteller’s lap, lulled either into excited action or dreamy repose by the storyteller’s oration.

Cordero’s ceramic figures left a lasting impact on ceramic arts, not only in her Pueblo of Cochiti, but throughout the Pueblos of the Rio Grande Valley and beyond. These intricately sculpted artworks have become some of the most sought-after contemporary Native American art objects of the latter half of the 20th century. Cordero proved to be the matron in a long line of Cochiti artists; today, her children and grandchildren continue the tradition of creating these treasured figures.

Representing two artistic generations, The Arrival of the Cloud People (Lot 107), and Corn Shucking Scene (Lot 108), by iconic mother/daughter Santa Clara artists Helen Hardin and Pablita Velarde serve as exemplary pieces from the artists’ respective oeuvres.

Stylistically, Arrival of the Cloud People is typical of Hardin’s later works, done in the decade prior to her 1984 death. Geometric motifs, recalling many centuries of Pueblo and Pre-Pueblo pottery design, decorate the figures themselves and comprise the foreshortened background space. Splatter technique, which Hardin learned and integrated into her artistic practice in the early 1960s, features prominently throughout the artwork.

This technique was prized by both Hardin and Velarde, who used it along with her preferred medium of earth pigments to achieve a grainy, textured surface to many of her artworks.

Velarde’s Corn Shucking Scene showcases an intimate domestic scene typical of her early (ca. 1940s) artworks.

Four women and two men prepare corn for drying and storage, with each figure portrayed only partially using the flattened perspective that Velarde had been taught was an appropriate style for Pueblo easel painting, based on decorative, stylized figures typically seen on Pueblo ceramics. Velarde proved to be an early feminist figure in Native American 20th century art- she was, alongside her mentor Geronima Montoya (see Zia Bird, Lot 109) one of the earliest female Pueblo artists to create easel paintings.

Helen Hardin was praised during her lifetime as being a leader in the Native American art movement towards a modernist style. Whereas Velarde established herself as a major figure in the Studio Style, promoted by Santa Fe Indian School art teacher Dorothy Dunn, Hardin sought to align herself with the progressive Native art styles that developed prominently in the 1960s. Interestingly, though Velarde and Hardin are often discussed in terms of traditional versus modern, the two artists did share ideas, techniques, and subject matter frequently throughout the course of their overlapping careers.

114 NAVAJO Third Phase Chief’s Blanket, ca. 1865-1875 handspun wool yarns 54 x 76 ½ inches There were four distinct styles of the chief’s blanket produced during the 19th century: the First Phase, the Second Phase, Third Phase and the Variant. The Third Phase appeared during the late 1850s and became popular among Anglo-Americans, who found the First and Second Phase styles too simple. While the First and Second Phase blankets were worn as garments by Plains Indians, Third Phase were purchased as souvenirs rather than garments.

Third Phases feature diagonal design elements, almost always in the form of a concentric diamond at the center, surrounded by half-diamonds at the edges, and quarter-diamonds at the corners. This blanket features a very fine weave in which the cream, dark brown, blue and green are homespun. The red and bright red are early 3-ply, possibly Saxony and raveled wool yarns. The blue is indigo, and the green is a yellow & indigo blend.

122 ELISEO RODRIGUEZ (1915-2009) Untitled (New Mexico Scene), 1940 oil on masonite 99 ¾ x 45 ¾ inches signed and dated lower right: ELiSEO RodRIGUEZ / 40 “Quietly, but most definitely, Rodriguez has made more of an impact on New Mexican art history than he realized. As one of the few Hispano painters of his era, and the shepherd of numerous important traditional art forms throughout the twentieth century, he set the course for the booming modern-day Hispano arts community.”– Carmella Padilla Eliseo J. Rodriguez was born in Santa Fe in 1915 and lived on family land on Canyon Road. As a boy he did chores and delivered wood to the more well-heeled area residents. He became friendly with the young master painters who were known as “Los Cinco Pintores”.

He was inspired by the creations of Fremont Ellis, Walter Mruk, Willard Nash, Will Shuster and Józef Bakós and soon began his first sketches. Later, his friendship with the pintores was further enriched by relationships with the extended family of the Santa Fe Art Colony. They encouraged him with informal consultations and art supplies, until by 1930 he was attending the Santa Fe Art School. In 1934 he was selling his canvas paintings, carvings and reverse paintings on glass at Native Market, on Palace Avenue.

Rodriguez was hired for the Federal Art Project (FAP) of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1936 as a painter and muralist, but his focus quickly shifted to the revival of the ancient art of straw applique (”poor man’s gold”). Internationally recognized as a straw appliqué artist (along with his wife Paula), their straw works have been collected and exhibited throughout the country, but his decades-long devotion to painting did not receive the same attention for many years. As Carmella Padilla noted, “Indeed, due to the success and exposure at Spanish Market, art historians and others who considered him a self-taught folk artist, not an academically trained fine artist, have generally ignored his work as a painter.”

With the exception of a few showings of his paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts from the 1930’s to the 1950’s, most of Rodriguez’s hundreds of paintings would not be exhibited for another 50 years. Yet, despite the scarcity of his public showings, he was quietly influencing a new generation of Hispanic artists, including Luis Tapia. He did participate in the 1952 “Thirty-Ninth Annual Exhibition of New Mexico Artists”, alongside Emil Bisttram, Randall Davey, Fremont Ellis, Gene Kloss, Olive Rush and other important artists.

As Tey Marianna Nunn has written, “Rodriguez excelled at portraiture . . . (his) painting style has been described as reminiscent of Marc Chagall. (His) color palette, composed of bright and muted shades, contributes to his passionate figurative and scenic representations.

His works emote an artistic and spiritual religiosity that transcends time and place.”

In 1985, he became the only Hispanic New Mexican artist to be celebrated with a plaque in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, alongside many of the local painters who influenced him. In 2001, 70 years after the Cinco Pintores first lit the candle of his creative spirit Eliseo J. Rodgriguez was heralded with his first ever one-man show at the Museum of Fine Arts. With “Eliseo J. Rodgriguez: El Sexto Pintor”, the long overdue exhibit gave him the recognition he deserved as one of the foremost painters of his era in the southwest.

As he has said, “Art has been a very rewarding career for me… It’s like a beautiful song: You can listen to it your entire life and it still makes you smile.”

132 LEON GASPARD (1882-1964) Russian Musicians pastel on paper mounted on board 21 x 46 inches signed lower left: Leon Gaspard Leon Gaspard’s glittering paintings are reflective of his fascination with regional colors, costumes, and rituals, subjects which formed the bulk of his work in his native Russia. His use of color and suggestive rather than definitive brushwork reflect an interest in Impressionism, yet he remained too devoted to representation to ever fully abstract the figure. Although Gaspard was advised by John Marin to “go modern,” he chose instead to emphasize the traditional values of his old world subjects. When combined with his lively palette, vibrant brushstroke, and exotic settings, this trait often lends Gaspard’s work a fairy tale quality.

Born on March 2, 1882, in Vitebsk, a small village west of Moscow, Leon Gaspard’s artistic inclinations were nurtured from early childhood by his cultured family. His father was a retired Army officer and trader in furs and fine rugs, while his mother, an accomplished pianist, kept their home filled with music. At the age of fifteen, his father enrolled him in a local art class, where he studied alongside a young Marc Chagall. Eager for more formal instruction, Gaspard soon moved to Paris, and enrolled in the Académie Julian. In Paris, Gaspard became acquainted with the work of Modigliani, Matisse, and the sculptor Rodin, whose expressive use of line impressed him particularly.

Upon his arrival in New York after World War I, he quickly assimilated himself into the art scene, exhibiting at prestigious venues including the National Academy of Design and the Vanderbilt Gallery. That summer he and his wife traveled to Santa Fe to visit Sheldon Parsons, but quickly moved to Taos.

Impressed by the Taos Pueblo, which reminded Gaspard of Mongolian architecture, he and his wife settled there permanently in 1918.

The Musicians, presented as a triptych, is remarkable for its ambitious scale, technical mastery, and engaging content. True to fashion, Gaspard transports viewers to a specific moment in time – here, an otherwise quotidian performance elevated to fine art.

He studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute and later moved to New York where he attended the Art Students League and later the Grand Central School of Art under George Wright (18731951). Falter’s career started with the sale of his first artwork at twenty years old to Liberty, a pulp magazine. He rose to become one of the most noted cover illustrators for the most notable magazine in the nation, the Saturday Evening Post.

Falter's first Saturday Evening Post cover, a portrait of the magazine's founder, Benjamin Franklin, is dated September 1, 1943. That cover began a 25-year relationship with the Post, during which Falter produced over 120 covers for the magazine until the editors changed its cover format from illustrations to photographs. Falter commented, "My main concern in doing Post covers was trying to do something based on my own experiences. … I used humor whenever possible.” He tried "to put down on canvas a piece of America, a stage set, a framework for the imagination to travel around in." His panoramic covers with long views of people were a major departure from the Post's

S A N TA F E A R T AU C T I O N

customary close-up designs. In fact, Norman Rockwell himself adjusted to the newer style for a time, which he later referred to as his "Falter Period."

Falter was honored by his peers with election to the Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1976, and membership in the National Academy of Western Art in June 1978. Falter once said, "If you are not in love with what you are trying to put on canvas, you had better quit." One theme which was prominent throughout all of his works was his deep love for America.

John Manson (1927-2012) was the Editor and owner of ‘Artists of the Rockies and the Golden West ‘ art magazine, later renamed ‘Western Art Digest’ .

Manson acquired Eastern Dudes after publishing an article on John Falter in Artist of the Rockies in the summer of 1977. He admired Falter’s attention to detail, technique, and composition, and really enjoyed the humorous story the painting tells. Also, according to his daughter, the car in the painting reminded Manson of his first car.

Later he earned a travel-study scholarship to Europe while at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1916 Van Soelen moved to Albuquerque to improve his health. After four years illustrating and painting, he wanted to observe Indian life more closely, so he moved to a remote trading post. A later stay on a Texas ranch offered the painter authentic insights into the life of the working cowboy, another theme he pursued in paint and lithography. Eventually he settled permanently in Tesuque, just outside of Santa Fe, working as a muralist for the Works Progress Administration and recording the area and its people with a practiced, disciplined eye.

161 EMIL BISTTRAM (1895-1976) Rancho de Taos Church, 1974 oil on canvas 28 x 36 inches signed and dated lower right: (artist’s cipher) / Bisttram / 74 inscribed verso: CHURCH OF / ST FRANCIS OF ASISI / IN RANCHOS TAOS 1974 Widely recognized for his radically abstract painting styles, embrace of occult philosophies, and connection to the Transcendental Painting Group, Bisttram’s work illustrates a rich array of styles and influences including realism, futurism, expressionism, and nonobjective abstraction.

The Hungarian-born Bisttram has been variously described as a modernist, a mystic, a muralist, a teacher, and a philosopher, but rarely a conformist. After settling permanently in the conservative and economically depressed artistic environment of 1930s Taos, New Mexico, Bisttram became known regionally for his then-radical embrace of modernism, and nationally for his progressive theories and styles. His highly symbolic and eclectic approach - which was greatly influenced by Native American spiritualism, Theosophy, Wassily Kandinsky, and the epic paintings of the Mexican muralists - defies categorization and extends from the semi-real to the metaphysical.

Bisttram’s family left Hungary for New York in 1906. He began his career as a commercial artist and studied at Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League. He taught at Parsons School of Design, the Master Institute of the Roerich Museum, and eventually at his own Taos Art School (later renamed the Bisttram School of Fine Art). He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1931 to study fresco painting in Italy; because of growing anti-American sentiment in that country, however, he went instead to Mexico City, where he studied under Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.

Bisttram and his wife moved to Taos in 1932. In 1938 he co-founded the Transcendental Painting Group with fellow abstractionist Raymond Jonson. Often overwhelmed by the light and landscape of New Mexico, Bisttram remarked, “Whenever I tried to paint what was before me, I was frustrated by the grandeur and the limitless space.” Despite this challenge, he remained in the state for over 25 years, teaching, painting, and passionately involved in the progressive art movement.

Ultimately it was the spirituality of New Mexico’s landscape and its native cultures that fed Bisttram’s artistic imagination and nourished his abstract tendencies. An important innovator both regionally and nationally, Bisttram’s work anticipated the influential unfolding of postwar modernism in American art.

SANTA FE ART AUCTION 927 Paseo de Peralta

GERALD PETERS GALLERY 1005 Paseo de Peralta

PETERS PROJECTS 1011 Paseo de Peralta

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE The following Terms and Conditions of Sale are the Santa Fe Art Auction Limited Co.’s (“Santa Fe Art Auction”) and its agents’ and consignors’ entire agreement with the prospective bidders, bidders and buyers relative to the lots listed in this catalogue. The lots will be offered by the Santa Fe Art Auction as agent for the consignors, unless the catalogue indicates otherwise.

1. The Santa Fe 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. The Santa Fe 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. The Santa Fe Art Auction, and its agents and consignors, make no representations or warranties as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, correctness of the catalogue or description, including, but not limited to, the authenticity, the 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 catalogue, 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 catalogue are subject to change or supplementation before or during the sale, including the sale of any lot.

2. Prospective bidders should inspect the lots before bidding to determine condition, size and whether or not the lot has been repaired or restored and to investigate all other matters relating to the lot that is of material importance to the prospective bidder.

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 by cash or check, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer’s premium of 17% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including $500,000, 15% of the excess of the final bid price above $500,000, 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, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer’s premium of 20% of the final bid price for each lot up to and including $500,000, 18% of the excess of the final bid price above $500,000, and 15% of the excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000, plus any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges.

4. Unless exempted by law, the Buyer will be required to pay all applicable state and local sales, gross receipts, and compensation tax. Proof of exemption in the form of a current Non-Taxable Transaction Certificate must be provided at registration. In the event of deliveries outside the state, it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to pay any applicable compensating use tax of another state on the total purchase price. If a buyer requests that artwork be shipped to an address in New York State, we must collect New York sales tax due to an affiliated business located in New York City under recent legislation (Part P-1 of Chapter 57 of the Laws of 2009).

• Why Santa Fe Art Auction Collects Sales Tax: New Mexico requires a seller of goods to register with the New Mexico Department of Taxation and Revenue and collect and remit sales tax if the seller maintains a presence within the state. More specifically, tax laws require an auction house, like Santa Fe Art Auction, with a presence in New Mexico, to register as a sales tax collector, and remit sales tax collected to the state. Unless exempted, New Mexico sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property picked up or delivered in New Mexico, regardless of the state or country in which the purchaser resides or does business.

• Certain Exemptions: New Mexico allows for specified exemptions to its sales tax. For example, a registered re-seller such as a registered art dealer may purchase without incurring a tax liability, and Santa Fe Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from such re-seller. As sales tax laws vary from state to state, Santa Fe Art Auction recommends that clients with questions regarding the application of sales or use taxes to property purchased at auction seek tax advice from their local tax advisors.

5. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or during the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

6. Except as may be announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalogue.

7. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the Buyer, 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 reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Santa Fe Art Auction’s sale record shall be final and conclusive. The Santa Fe Art Auction, in its discretion, may execute orders or absentee bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at the auction; however, the Santa Fe Art Auction is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.

8. If the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, determines that any bid is below the reserve of the lot, he or she may reject the same and withdraw the lot 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.

9. 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 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and is immediately obligated to pay the full purchase price. All sales are final and there shall be no exchanges or returns. Payment shall be made by cash, check or wire transfer. As set forth in paragraph 3, above, for an additional percentage Santa Fe Art Auction will also accept credit cards as a form of payment. (Visa and MasterCard only).

In addition to other remedies available to Santa Fe Art Auction by law, we reserve 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 herein.

(a) All lots must be removed by the Buyer at his or her expense not later than ten (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, or a portion thereof from the tenth day after the sale (until its removal) will be payable to us by the Buyer, with a minimum of 5% of the total purchase price due for any lot not so removed within 60 days after the sale, and (ii) Santa Fe Art Auction may send the purchased lot to a public warehouse for the account of and at the risk and expense of the Buyer.

(b) If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the Buyer, the Buyer will be in default, and in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Santa Fe Art Auction and its agents and consignors by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the Buyer liable for the total purchase price, together with all fees, charges and expenses set forth in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Santa Fe Art Auction, at its sole option, may (i) cancel the sale of that, or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting Buyer, or (ii) resell the purchased lot or lots, whether at auction or by private sale, or (iii) effect any combination thereof. The Buyer 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. The Santa Fe Art Auction and its agents and consignors shall have all of the rights accorded to a secured party under the New Mexico Uniform Commercial Code. The Buyer of each lot agrees that each lot is unique and that Santa Fe Art Auction, in its sole discretion, shall not be required to sell or otherwise seek to mitigate damages should such Buyer fail to pay the total purchase price.

Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until the Santa Fe Art Auction shall have collected good funds. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to hold all purchases pending collection of the total purchase price, together with all additional fees, charges and expenses incurred pursuant to these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

10. All lots (unless otherwise indicated by the letters “nr”) are subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price acceptable to the consignor. The Santa Fe Art Auction, or its agents or consignors, may implement such reserve by opening the bidding or they or either of them may bid up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or may bid in response to other bidders. In instances where the Santa Fe Art Auction has an interest in the lot, it may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest.

11. Santa Fe Art Auction is the owner of images of each lot offered for sale and may use such images for its own archival purposes, as well as for advertising and publicity in connection with this or future sales by the Santa Fe Art Auction.

12. These Terms and Conditions of Sale, together with the parties’ respective rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to New Mexico’s rules concerning conflicts of laws.

13. Prospective bidders, bidders and Buyers agree that, in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to a sale of any lot, the party asserting such controversy or claim shall provide written notice thereof to the other party; that any such controversy or claim

S A N TA F E A R T AU C T I O N

not settled within fourteen (14) days of delivery of notice by the other party, including, without limitation, any controversy or claim arising from, or relating to, the sale of any lot or any of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, including the terms of this paragraph, the sole and exclusive means for resolving the dispute shall be by binding arbitration in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Said arbitration shall be confidential and shall be pursuant to the New Mexico Uniform Arbitration Act, shall be conducted before a single arbitrator, and shall otherwise be guided by the then extant New Mexico Rules of Arbitration. This Agreement is deemed made in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is subject to the internal substantive law of the State of New Mexico without regard to conflicts of laws. The award of the arbitrator shall be final, and may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear that party’s own costs of arbitration and attorney’s fees.

14. The Santa Fe Art Auction is pleased to present to art purchasers shipping options which are explained in the shipping form enclosed in this catalogue. If you misplace this form, call or send an email and another form will be provided.

15. Results are posted on the Santa Fe Art Auction web site and, upon request, may be sent to Buyers, catalogue subscribers, absentee and phone bidders, and other registered bidders.

16. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17. These Terms and Conditions are not assignable by any buyer without the prior written consent of the Santa Fe Art Auction. However, these Terms and Conditions are binding on the buyer’s successors, assigns and representatives.

18. No act, omission or delay by the Santa Fe Art Auction shall be deemed a waiver of its rights and remedies under these Terms and Conditions.

19. The Santa Fe Art Auction shall use reasonable efforts to contact prospective buyers who have made prior arrangements to place telephone bids in order for these buyers to participate in the auction. The Santa Fe Art Auction shall not be liable for its failure to contact said bidders or for any errors or omissions made in connection with telephone bids since telephone bids are offered as a free service that is undertaken subject to the other commitments of Santa Fe Art Auction during the sale.

20. Santa Fe Art Auction shall use reasonable efforts to execute online bids in order for online buyers to participate in the auction. Online bidding is provided as an alternative bidding service and should not be considered a replacement for bidding in the room. Santa Fe Art Auction encourages its buyers to weigh the advantages and limitations of live online bidding when deciding whether to bid in the room or online. Santa Fe Art Auction shall not be liable for any errors or omissions made in connection with online bids or the online bidding process. Although Santa Fe Art Auction will do everything in its power to assure all online bids are recognized, Santa Fe Art Auction has no way of guaranteeing that the internet and the online bidding process will be free from technical malfunctions. In the event of a tie between an online bid and a “room” bid, the “room” bid generally will take precedence. “Room” bids include those bids taken from the live auction room(s), telephones, absentee bidders, or bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. Santa Fe Art Auction will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of connection on Santa Fe Art Auction’s or on the Buyer’s end, (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software, and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with a Buyer’s internet connection, computer or system. Santa Fe Art Auction does not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.
