Prev   Next Locale: California - Mountains

#266. High Banks of the American near Colfax Cal.

  18 x 30, oil on canvas relined. Not signed; title on back. From a private collection to Alexander Gallery, NY, then to Sherwoods Spirit of America, Santa Fe NM, who offered it for sale in 2009. The painting was still shown in their online catalog in May of 2019 with a published price of $25,000. The title written in black on the canvas liner matches the named locale and the style is consistent with Munger's California landscape paintings, although the missing signature is mysterious. Sherwoods claimed to have "a certificate of authenticity from Alexander Gallery conveying that the painting is by Gilbert Munger." Offered at the Taos Auction Co's Santa Fe auction on 17 June 2025 as lot 0471, estimate $4,000-6,000, but did not sell. Image from email provided by Sherwoods.
