An iconic landcape by Thomas Moran sold for $3.6 million at The Russell auction in Great Falls, Montana, last weekend.
Moran's oil Castle Rock, Green River, Wyoming was the top lot in the benefit sale for the C.M. Russell Museum. The Western art sale, held annually, totaled $7.1 million.
A work by Charles M. Russell, Indian with Bow, "raced past the opening bid of $200,000 to over $800,000 in less than a minute," says the museum's blog.
