Featured in this lot is this huge bronze, numbered 2/10, called "Into the Shining Mountains" from artist Margie Jackson (born 1934 and passed 2021). This is one of the largest bronzes to come through this auction house. This bronze, although numbered 2/10, is the last of this mold, made before the mold broke, so it was actually the last to be made. The piece was awarded the Judges Award Certificate for "Excellent Execution in Sculpture" from Fred Oldfield of Western Heritage and Art Center on April 9, 2016. It portrays a beautiful scene of a mountain man leading the way with a woman mounted on a horse behind him, trailing with the pack horse. The artist’s signature and title can be seen on the side of the bronze underneath the mountain man and his horse; the number is on the side of the bronze underneath the woman and the pack horse. Margie Jackson (1934-2021) was a painter for years before she became a sculptor. Her experience at casting her creations in bronze began around 1976. Jackson lived on a farm in Yelm, Washington, but she grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. Because the range was open and cattle left on their own, they would be prey to packs of wolves and coyotes. Horses were still respected as a means of transportation and the area was plentiful with Native Americans still richly steeped in their own culture, lending to the inspiration of her work. Among her numerous awards are Best of Show-Sculpture at the Celebration of Western Art Show in Olympia, Washington and First and Second places at the 1986 and 1987 Arizona Annual Art Shows. She was commissioned to create bronze and limited-edition prints celebrating the Washington State Centennial; the city of Yelm purchased one of these pieces for installation in the City Hall. The condition of this bronze is good, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this bronze are 10" x 40" x 18 1/2". Provenance: This is from the personal Artist Margie Jackson. The bronze likely would have been priced at $15,000-$25,000 in a gallery.
