in the lare 80's in my late teens we took a family trop to Remingtons museum im Ogdensburg NY. ai was awstruck . The most captivating part for me was his study . When entering the room you could almost swear he had just stepped out of the room just moments before. In the corner of the room was a big vase with his canes and umbrellas in it and there was a huge feathered Native headress with a bow and quiver of arrowes and hanging at the top of the bow were 3 real human scalps . And i thought to myself ... hey if he comes back into the room id love to ask him to share the story of the 3 scalps. What a life he must have lead out there in th3 Wild west!
Us older folks think to ourselves what were they doing out at that hour. Then remember we were young once and were out at that time sometimes. Such a shame. Just hope it was a total instant passing for all three.
Statues attributed to Remington are almost always fakes. He is so beloved in the parts of the central and western US that it's hard to quantify. If you want to see works by Remington, come to my hometown of Tulsa to the Gilcrease Art Museum, where there are at least 25 pieces by Remington and where the entire theme of the museum is Western (US) artwork.
How can he possibly put a value on something that is either , spurious, or historically important , he gave both ends of the scale , now for a trip to a chemist .
One of the real failings of the BBC version of this show is that they rarely ask where and how the person acquired the object.............................
Remington was a fraud! Charles M. Russell “the Cowboy Artist” is/was the real deal and his art shows the very fact that Charlie LIVED what he painting and sculpted. CMR is the GREATEST Western Artist to have lived.
This is one that deserves a follow-up.
Just thinking exactly the same thing. 🤔
there would have been one if it was genuine Id think.
No foundry mark not really much point

That would be a great piece of history to own.
I’ve seen the Remington collection in the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Very impressive
Stunning ❤

The Remington museum in Ogdensburg, NY has much of his work.
Seems like a popular piece. If it's so popular and well known and was at an auction, the price he paid would tell all.
3 0r 4 thousand or 4 million

a video about this original bronze by Remington ( The original in the museum) ua-cam.com/video/B4ikI2_1p1o/v-deo.html
Is that drip of wax not a gun sight
NO It is in the wrong place.
Nope.
That being said, I really don't have a clue what this is worth.
It later turned out to be a fake and worth around £50.

Actually they usually do
The video starts by the person saying he bought it in an auction three or four years ago
You must be watching a different show to the rest of us lol
He's also forged a lot ...
Bronze usually is......

Thank you, Mr. Picasso.
