Description
A Bunch of Buckskins
Frederic Remington, 1901
REMINGTON, Frederic (1861-1909). A Bunch of Buckskins. Introductory note by Owen WISTER. New York: Robert Howard Russell, 1901.
Complete series of eight archetypal "buckskin" cowboys by Frederic Remington, the archetypal artist of the Old West. Remington's drawings and Wister's text both typify the "cowboys and Indians" dichotomy that was so potent and influential well into the 20th century. Scarce as a complete set. Bobins 1464; Hassrick & Webster 2537-2544.
Broadside folio (630 x 488mm). Title printed in red and black; introductory note (corner crease). 8 chromolithograph plates after Remington's pastel drawings, signed by the artist in the plate, on gray card mounts (a few spots to versos and near mounting, small chips to mount corners). Loose as issued in original linen-backed board portfolio with printed cover label (light soiling and rubbing), linen ties; modern quarter morocco solander box.

Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Bunch Of Buckskins by Frederic Remington was sold in the The Magnificent Library of Norman Bobins: Part One, American Color auction at Christies in Paris in June this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,500.00) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederic Remington achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Coming Through the Rye in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 11,223,500.00 (€ 9,988,875.04).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Bunch Of Buckskins von Frederic Remington wurde im Juni diesen Jahres in der Auktion The Magnificent Library of Norman Bobins: Part One, American Color bei Christies in Paris versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 7.500,00) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederic Remington erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Coming Through the Rye im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.223.500,00 (€ 9.988.875,04).
