Reno’s Coeur d’Alene auction to bring action this weekend at Silver Legacy RGJ.com – Friday, July 15, 2011
It’s that time of year again when Western art fans look forward to Reno’s own Coeur d’Alene Art Auction. Like the Reno Rodeo, known as the “Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West,” the auction is recognized for its action and excitement.
Not only are some of the nation’s finest Western and wildlife artists represented at this auction, but records often are set for sales of these 19th and 20th century artists’ works. Having sold a staggering $200 million in art during the past 10 years, the auction boasts a 95 percent sale rate, a number that Christie’s and Sotheby’s can only dream of.
This year the sale will take place Saturday at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino. To read more.
