Howard Terpning™
Breaks the Million Dollar Ceiling
A $1.45 million bid and the drop of the gavel secured a record
place for a Howard Terpning original at auction at this July’s
Coeur d’Alene Art Auction. And that was only one of two
Terpning pieces that passed the million dollar mark! Search
for the Renegades and The Stragglers found
new homes for $1,456,000 and $1,064,000 respectively.
Art buys such as this represent savvy collectors and investors
confirming what we at Greenwich have been telling you for years.
Not only is Terpning an important figure in the contemporary
Western art market alongside Remington and Russell, but he resides
in the rare air of classic and contemporary American art with
the likes of Church, Moran, Sargent, Wyeth, Rockwell and even
Warhol.
Greenwich couldn’t be prouder for Howard and of our association
with him. The simple fact of the matter is we approach every
Fine Art Edition we create for Howard, as well as every artist
we publish, as if it represents a $1 million work of art. That
is a responsibility we have on behalf of the artist, and just
as importantly if not more, the collector. Ninety-four Howard
Terpning Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Editions have Sold Out
at Publisher.
Another pleasant outcome of the Coeur d’Alene Auction was
the continued climb of Mian Situ (page 7) as a force to be reckoned
with in the contemporary art market. His sweeping narratives
of the Asian-American immigrant experience as part of the wider
story of the opening of the American West are striking a deep
chord with collectors. The Entrepeneur: San Francisco,
1890 sold for over $200,000. Three of the first four
Greenwich Workshop Mian Situ limited editions have Sold Out
at Publisher.
The recent bustle of activity at the auction has led to even
higher demand for Terpning and Situ limited edition canvases.This
is the time to get your orders in if you want to own editions
by these modern greats! |
Vanishing Pony Tracks
by Howard Terpning
“Horse stealing was a sport among the Plains Indians and an
important way to gain honor and prestige among other members of
their tribe,” says Terpning. “The man in the foreground
has his horse stealing medicine attached to his belt with a miniature
rope. These four Blackfoot warriors have been following a large
band of trappers just waiting for the right moment to capture some
of their stock. They no doubt took these ponies in the middle of
the night and are now trying to put as much distance as they can
between themselves and the trappers who are certainly attempting
to track the Blackfoot and take their ponies back. These raiders
are using every ruse to elude their pursuers including crossing
the river in hopes that their tracks will be lost or at least delay
their pursuers.”
