Lot# 1175 We Are Close - Acrylic by Jerry Whitehead Vivid original acrylic painting by Jerry Whitehead. “Over the years, Jerry Whitehead’s artwork has gone through a number of stages. The one thing that has remained constant throughout this progression is his focus on powwows and powwow dancers.’Powwow dancers have been an ongoing theme in my work since I began painting. Seeing the dancers as a child had a lasting impression. The subject matter has been ideal for expressing a part of my culture as well as accommodating changes in my work,’ says the artist from the Peter Chapman First Nation. As a child in Saskatchewan, Whitehead says he was interested in art like any of his friends. He says, ‘I used to draw as a kid. I used to draw all the time.’ Unlike the average kid, he used almost any source he could find for his drawings including the ashes that remained from fires and the lead in the bullets his father used as a hunter.

After the war, Harold taught crafts at McGill University. During the mid- 1950s, he became an occupational therapist at hospitals in Quebec City and Edmonton. In 1954, he made his first portrait of a Native Northerner, young Ilya, a patient at Parc Savard hospital. The friendships made with patients gave him a valuable entrée to northern communities, and his teaching of weaving, carving, and other art forms made a contribution to the northern Native art industry of the present day. Also in 1954, Harold made his first journey north on the patrol ship C.D. Howe, as an x-ray assistant, liaison officer, and sculptor—the first of several northern tours. In 1956 he joined the National Museum of Man, mainly as an organizer of exhibitions, but continued his sculpture. In 1967, the Riveredge Foundation of Calgary purchased several of Harold’s bronze portraits of aboriginal people and commissioned him to do more. On one trip, he met the then Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, Stuart Hodgson; the meeting resulted in a friendship and several assignments to portray aboriginal people around the polar world.””Harold was a member of the Ottawa Arctic Circle and often entertained in his house, amid a plethora of bronzes, carvings, and paintings.

Est. $400-1000 HWAC# 59548 Lot# 2372 New York, New York 1971 Extremely Rare MACo 10- pc Framed Remington 6-inch Medallions This is a very rare and complete set of ten, framed, six-inch medallions created for the 21 Club Restaurant in New York City by Medallic Art Company in 1971. Each frame displays a 6-inch diameter, silver-plated copper galvano-positive version of a set of ten commemorative medals representing works by the famous Western sculptor, Frederick Remington. These 6-inch medallions are mounted on a brown-tanned leather background in a 10.5 x 13-inch, antique-silvered wooden frame.Medallic Art lore is that MACo president Bill Louth would walk from his Manhattan office to the 21 Club for lunch and soon struck up a friendship with the owners. They developed a plan to promote the 21 Club’s vaunted collection of original Frederick Remington artwork by producing a set of 10 unique medallions in bronze and silver in 1.75- and 2.5-inch sizes. Each of the pieces would portray a distinctive sculpture by Frederick Remington on the obverse (front side), and a different Remington artwork on the reverse overlain by a portrait of the artist himself. Sculptor Avard Fairbanks was chosen to design the entire ten-piece set. The obverse of each design also includes a small incuse circle bearing an image of the distinctive iron gate that has become a signature logotype for the 21 Club.The medals were sold in green-velvet-lined boxed sets to Club 21 patrons and Medallic Art Company customers until the limited edition was exhausted. But that isn’t the end of the story.A set of 10 six-inch copper galvano-negatives was created from original obverse plaster models, and these were used to reproduce fifty sets of 6-inch copper galvano-positives. These were trimmed round, silver Lot# 2339 Columbus, Georgia 1861 Palace Mills 25 Cent Note PMG plated, and mounted in frames along with a 1.75-inch, silver-plated Very Good 8.

These rare sets are rumored to have been sold to Western aficionados such as Bob Hope and Gene Autry, among others. This set was sold back to the Medallic Art Company Archive Collection in around 2008 by an anonymous, original owner in Oklahoma. It was then acquired by a private entity in the 2018 post-bankruptcy liquidation of Northwest Territorial Mint / Medallic Art Company. The Remington artworks represented in the set include The Bronco Buster, The Sergeant, The Fallen Rider, Coming Through the Rye, The Scalp, The Rattlesnake, The Cheyenne, The Norther, The Mountain Man, and The Outlaw. The full set of ten frames is in good condition, although some of the small medallions show a bit of tarnish and thinning of the silver plating. Altogether, this is a stunningly beautiful presentation of both the work of Frederick Remington and Medallic Art Company. We have never seen a set like this at auction, and it is unlikely for another set to appear on the market any time soon.
