LOT NOTES
Ken Carlson is one of America`s most revered and celebrated wildlife painters. Painting from first-hand observation, his artworks are imbued with a sense of natural grandeur but also emotional reverberance. The current lot perfectly captures this powerful emotive quality, which is a hallmark of Carlson`s work. Carlson has been the recipient over many years of a myriad of awards for wildlife art, including being the 1999 Winner of the Frederic Remington Award, and recipient of the National Museum of Wildlife Art`s Major General and Mrs. Don Pittman Wildlife Award in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 2001 and 2004. An avowed conservationist, it is perhaps fitting that in 1998 he was named a "Living Legend for Wildlife Art" by the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep. In addition to many other museums and important private collections, Carlson`s works are in the permanent collections of the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming.
