MONROVIA, Calif. — John Moran Auctioneers presents its first Art of the American West sale of 2024 on Tuesday, March 12 with more than 380 lots ranging from historic to contemporary. The sale includes western bronzes, paintings, Navajo and Pueblo jewelry, Navajo textiles, and Acoma and Zia pottery. The catalog is now open for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Highlighting the fine art offerings is Logan Maxwell Hagege’s High Desert Trail, dated to 2010. Hagege (b. 1980-) is known for his paintings of riders on horseback, Native Americans, cowboys, clouds, cacti, and rocky desert landscapes. With his paintings, art books, and sold-out serigraph print editions, Hagege is showing the way for a younger generation of Western artists. The oil on linen laid to Gatorboard is estimated at $15,000-$20,000.

Representing the 18 examples of bronze sculptures on offer is Highway to Home, a 1998 work created by James Regimbal. Through his very detailed, historically accurate bronzes, Regimbal (b. 1949-) captures all aspects of the 19th-century cowboy’s life. Taking inspiration from true-to-life Western books and movies, his subjects include Indians, warriors, hunters, story tellers, cavalrymen, and bronco busters. The bronze is estimated $4,000-$6,000.

Moran’s sale includes three Frank Patania pieces. Frank Patania, Sr. (1899-1964) was a jeweler who came from the integration of two distinctly different traditions: one European, the other Native American. He drew from a long history of Italian creative spirit, combining technical expertise and artistic imagination. Then, after being introduced to the work of southwest Native American jewelers in the 1920s, Patania’s style drastically transformed. Leading his group is a sterling silver and turquoise concho belt, estimated at $3,000-$5,000.

The sale includes an impressive selection of 84 Navajo items. A Navajo Second Phase chief’s blanket featuring bands of cream and dark brown wool with blue banding and green crosses has a $3,000-5,000 estimate, while a Navajo Late Classic banded blanket woven in blue, red, green, cream, and brown wool, with alternating bands of Moki stripes, is estimated at $3,000-$5,000.

MONROVIA, Calif. – Maranda Moran grew up in a family of collectors, being pulled out of bed in the wee hours at a young age to accompany her parents to garage and estate sales, flea markets and auctions.

In 1994 she joined her husband’s firm, John Moran Auctioneers, as a fine and decorative specialist with a concentration in Western and Native American art, a booming market genre.
