Throughout his life, #MaynardDixon showed a capacity for artistic growth anchored by an uncanny ability to develop new rationalized and reflective imagery. In 1899, Maynard Dixon brought a Hopi ritual to life for The San Francisco Call. This work reflected his growth as an artist, marking a shift from ink and crayon to painting, adapting to the new color printing techniques in publishing. By 1915, he had abandoned his earlier illustration-based techniques and embarked on a quest for a more personal and distinctive style in his paintings, eventually emerging as one of the West's more progressive artists. Head to ha.com/15234 to view all three works by Dixon and the entire Art of the West Showcase, closing tomorrow. #HeritageAuctions

"Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life."   #HeritageAuctions is known as "The auction house for collectors by collectors." So it should come as no surprise that our specialists have their own stories about how they started out as collectors and turned those passions into careers.   Meet Kyle Johnson, our Director of World Coins. How did he get his start? Here is Kyle's story. #numismatics #collectors #dreamjob

#HeritageAuctions is proud to present some of the most celebrated art created for the Boy Scouts of America in November in the #AmericanArt Signature event. The collection includes landmark works by #NormanRockwell, J.C. #Leyendecker, Dean Cornwell, and others. “Heritage is deeply grateful to have been entrusted with what is undoubtedly one of the most significant collections of Golden Age illustrations to emerge on the market in recent years,” said Aviva Lehmann, Heritage’s Senior Vice President of American Art. “We are honored to present this museum-caliber collection, which not only celebrates the artistry of Norman Rockwell and other luminaries of the Golden Age but also embodies the rich cultural heritage at the core of our mission as America’s largest auction house. Equally important to us is the privilege of supporting the Survivors, underscoring our commitment to both the arts and social responsibility.” Check out the entire collection at ha.com/8184.

In February 1983, the Associated Press profiled a woman named Christine Farrell, described in the headline as a “comic-crazed collector” from Burlington, Vermont, who “lives in a land of simple truths, where swashbuckling superheroes match wits with the world’s most cunning criminals.” Farrell began her quest in 1970 and completed it in 2007, even loaning her books to DC when they couldn’t find copies to make reprints. Over time, her valuable and vaunted assemblage became “shrouded in mystery,” as the Vermont alternative weekly Seven Days wrote in 2022. Now, that mystery is no more: From October 25-26, Heritage will present The Christine Farrell Complete DC Collection, an auction featuring nearly 500 comic books, including some of comicdom’s rarest works of original comic art. https://lnkd.in/gi_yfvt2
