Koerner, Bob Kuhn, Wilhelm Kuhnert, Frank McCarthy, Kenneth Riley, Carl Rungius, Richard Schmid, Charles Schreyvogel, Olaf Wieghorst, Henriette Wyeth, Eustace Paul Ziegler, and more.

And, rumor has it that there will be some exciting new dynamics in motion at this year’s event, so be sure to check in with auction headquarters! In Jackson, auction headquarters are upstairs at Trailside Galleries, 130 East Broadway, just a block off Town Square. Enter the gallery (look around, it’s beautiful!) then head up the stairs and to the rear of the second floor to view many works that will be up for sale. You can also speak with auction representatives about auction details.
The Jackson Hole Art Auction is currently accepting quality consignments for 2013. Whether you have an extensive collection or a few rarities, call their office at 866-549-9278, or visit their website at www.jacksonholeartauction.com.

The Seventh Annual Jackson Hole Art Auction is taking shape and scheduled to commence on Saturday, September 14th, 2013 at Jackson’s Center for the Arts! The auction is produced in partnership by Trailside Galleries of Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Scottsdale, AZ and the Gerald Peters Gallery of Santa Fe, NM. This year also marks Trailside Galleries’ 50th Anniversary!
You know how quickly this event has become a premier “destination” Western Art auction. Though independently produced, the highly anticipated auction takes place during the final weekend of Jackson’s annual Fall Arts Festival. Fall Arts, long Jackson’s most successful, continuing event, is now regarded as a model by other entities wishing to extend Jackson’s tourism season. Western art, sometimes overlooked as a significant factor of Jackson’s economic pulse, still rules. Western art tells America’s stories and history, and in the Greater Yellowstone Region that is particularly significant. It’s our artistic bedrock.
Dixon, Maynard, (1875-1946), Remuda, 1921-1945, oil on canvas
In the deep fall
don’t you imagine the leaves think how
comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don’t you think
the trees themselves, especially those with mossy,
warm caves, begin to think
of the birds that will come — six, a dozen — to sleep
inside their bodies? And don’t you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
vanishes, and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its blue shadows. And the wind pumps its
bellows. And at evening especially,
the piled firewood shifts a little,
longing to be on its way.
~~ Mary Oliver
Oh, my dear friends, supporters, artists, peace-makers, writers, family, conservationists: ‘Tis time to prepare for Autumn. What a summer it has been. I do not think I will ever forget this season. The power of watching art created all around Grand
Teton National Park, getting to watch and herald such wonder for days and days~~~learning more secret places in our valley~~~seeing new artists venture further into new and exciting arenas~~~meeting creative, thoughtful people I’d not yet met, giving our beloved Greg McHuron over to the void and helping his spirit move to the mountains and rivers, another gleeful Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival~~~knowing fire. I am on my way to a place where Autumn is beautiful, to see my parents and family—-New England. I’ll be back next month.
Until then….Shannon Troxler Thal tells me her show, “Illumination,” opens at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts on Friday, September 21st, 5- 7:00 pm. Glowing, colorful orbs will decorate the setting, be suspended like moons, from the ceiling. As will silk banners of ink and wax drawings of dancers. Contemporary Dance Wyoming will perform improvisational dance. An informal gallery talk will also take place. www.artassociation.org www.shannontroxlerfineart.com 307-733-0378.
