Exploring Wyoming's Collector Scene
Wyoming’s collector community is shaped by the state’s Western heritage, the influence of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks as subjects for American artists, and a significant resort collector base in Jackson Hole. The National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson holds one of the most important collections of wildlife art in the world, with works spanning from ancient cave paintings to contemporary wildlife painters. The Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody encompasses five museums including the Whitney Western Art Museum, which holds significant collections of Western American art including Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, and their contemporaries.
Estate collections in Wyoming frequently include Western American paintings and bronzes, and Remington and C.M. Russell are among the most actively collected artists in the regional market. Native American art and cultural objects from Shoshone and Arapaho traditions, wildlife and landscape paintings of Yellowstone and the Tetons, and works by artists who have been drawn to Jackson Hole’s dramatic setting. The Jackson Hole art community is nationally recognized, with galleries representing leading contemporary Western and wildlife artists. Wyoming auction markets and the annual Western art auctions in Cody connect estate holdings with national collectors. Formal USPAP-compliant appraisals are regularly required for such assets for estate settlement, insurance, and charitable donation purposes throughout the state.
