Reno, Nev.-based Coeur d'Alene Art Auction set a record for an auction or primarily Western Art at its 307-lot annual sale, July 28, 2007. The house racked up a whopping $35,402,640 in sales, with 98 percent of lots finding bidders. One of the two top lots was Blackfoot Burning Crow Buffalo Range, a 1905 watercolor by Charles M. Russell, which sold for $2,912,000 to a private dealer from Denver (est. $1-1.5 million). Another high point of the sale came when another Russell work -- the small oil Joshing Moon (1918), measuring just 8.5 by 13.5 inches -- smashed through its presale estimate of $200,000-300,000, going for $1,680,000 after what the house described as an "epic battle," leading to a healthy round of applause in the room.The sale was unusual for Coeur d’Alene in that it also featured a selection of European and American Impressionist paintings, consigned by a private Southern California trust. The other top lot of the night was the 1886 Le Ponton de la Felicite, Asnieres by pointillist Paul Signac, which tied the Russell lot, bringing in $2,912,000 (est. $1,000,000-1,500,000) from a San Francisco collector.
