Arts of the American West: A Collection from the David J. Brown Family

RESULTS

Our auction brought over $1.2 million. This collection of outstanding American Indian works and Western Art was led by Ernest Leonard Blumenschein's painting, Arizona Dam which achieved $365,000. Also performing strongly was a rare Mesquakie bear claw necklace and turban which sold for $75,000 - well over the high estimate.
