Their 19th Century American &amp; Western sale featured one hundred lots and ended up a good way to start the year. Of course, the star of the sale, the painting everyone expected to shine brightest, was Martin Johnson Heade\u2019s 1871 work <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cattleya Orchid with Two Brazilian Hummingbirds<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Inspired by contemporary painters and naturalists like Frederic Edwin Church and John James Audubon, Heade frequently made trips to Central and South America as well as the Caribbean to study the flora and fauna there. The painting offered at Christie\u2019s was created after a year of traveling throughout Colombia, Panama, and Jamaica. It also marks one of the first times Heade included both flowers and animals in the same painting. The orchid-hummingbird combination would become a common subject for the artist throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Predicted to sell for between $1.2 million and $1.8 million, the Heade surpassed expectations, with the hammer coming down at $2.8 million (or $3.4 million w\/p).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50298\" style=\"width: 271px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-19-at-12.56.32-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50298\" class=\"wp-image-50298\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-19-at-12.56.32-PM-300x200.png\" alt=\"A landscape from the American West, with red and white rock formations in the distance.\" width=\"261\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-19-at-12.56.32-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-19-at-12.56.32-PM-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-19-at-12.56.32-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-19-at-12.56.32-PM.png 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Afterglow, Green River, Wyoming<\/em> by Thomas Moran<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next was one of the many landscapes the sale had to offer: Thomas Moran\u2019s 1918 painting\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Afterglow, Green River, Wyoming<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. In the hundred years since Moran created the painting, Green River has grown from a rail depot to a small city of 12,000 people. However, the cliffs and other rock formations surrounding the area, with their red and white rock layers as shown in Moran\u2019s painting, can still be seen today as they existed in 1918. Christie\u2019s specialists assigned\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Afterglow<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the same $1.2 million to $1.8 million estimate range as the Heade. Though the Moran did not surpass its estimate the way the Heade did, it still hit its high end, reaching $2.2 million w\/p. Finally, in third place was the bronze statue <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The End of the Trail<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0by James Earle Fraser. It was one of the thirteen sculptures featured in the sale. The work shows an indigenous American man on horseback, hunched over with melancholy. Fraser, who had much sympathy for indigenous people, particularly the Sioux, created\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">End of the Trail<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0as a way to symbolize the suffering of indigenous people in the United States. The casting sold on Thursday for $1.1 million (or $1.38 million w\/p) against a $500K to $700K estimate. This set Fraser\u2019s all-time auction record. The previous record-holder was a different, slightly smaller casting of the same work, which sold in 2014 for $921K w\/p at the Coeur d\u2019Alene Auction House.
