Significant Works by Frank Reaugh, G. Harvey and Fred Darge Lead Heritage's Texas Art Auction
Property from the Estate of Olin Travis and Josephine Oliver as well as Contemporary works by Kelly Fearing and David Bates shape the June 21 event
In 1923, when she was just 15 years old, Josephine Oliver embarked on a monthlong plein-air sketching trip to West Texas with the legendary artist Frank Reaugh and his students. These rugged trips, where students sleeping in canvas tents were expected to sketch up to four pastels a day, are the stuff of legend for collectors of early Texas art. It would be the first of eight such expeditions for the young Oliver, who left her home in Dallas to travel through the wilderness in a rattletrap Model T car nicknamed "the Cicada." Like her famed instructor, Oliver made pastels on small pieces of paper to capture the fleeting light and color of the Texas plains—a practical solution to painting on the move, and a deliberate artistic choice that favored contained, poetic impressions of the
vast Texas landscape.
Oliver would go on to marry Dallas-based artist Olin Travis, whom she met on her final sketching trip, and together, the influential and talented couple built a collection of early Texas works, highlights of which Heritage is honored to present in its Texas Art Signature® Auction on June 21. "This auction is especially meaningful as it brings together works by families across multiple generations," says Atlee Phillips, Heritage's Director of Texas Art. "The auction features three pastels from Josephine Oliver's trips with Reaugh, including
a particularly sensitive study of Cap Rock Mesa
, as well as two intimate, atmospheric works featuring longhorn cattle by Reaugh himself that have been in the Travis family collection for many decades."

Bid Protection
Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction.
Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed. |
Buyer's premium
A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auctions is 25% on the first $1,000,000 (minimum $49), 20% of any amount between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, and 15% of any amount over $5,000,000 per lot.. |

Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction.
Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session. |
