Press Room
William Robinson Leigh, G. Harvey and Alexander Proctor Illuminate the American Frontier in Heritage's Western Art Auction Heritage's Nov. 7 event also showcases Ed Melle, Dave McGary, John Nieto and more in a century of Western artistry and enduring spirit Few sculptures embody the spirit of Western art as completely as Alexander Phimister Proctor's Oregon Pioneer Mother (1929), a highlight of Heritage's Western Art: Visions of the American Frontier Signature® Auction taking place Nov. 7. Commissioned in 1929 by Burt Brown Barker to honor his mother, Elvira Brown Barker, who traveled the Oregon Trail as a child in 1852, Oregon Pioneer Mother transcends private memorialization to become a universal meditation on endurance and dignity. Barker envisioned a monument not to hardship but to the strength and serenity that follows it. "Others have perpetuated her struggles," Barker wrote. "I want to perpetuate the peace which followed her struggles." Proctor, already celebrated as the "Sculptor in Buckskin" for his authentic depictions of frontier life, responded with a design that distilled those ideals into timeless form. The seated mother, captured in a moment of quiet contemplation, exudes grace and fortitude. Her hands rest gently in her lap as she marks her place in a book, her gaze turned downward in thought — an image not of toil or conquest, but of reflection and continuity.

Web Tips How to use HA.com Website Bidding Tutorial
New: Financing Now Available Heritage now offers extended payment plan options up to 6 months to qualified clients on select items. See more details here. See more details here.
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 Auction is 25% of the successful bid (minimum $49) 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.
