- Provenance
Provenance: The Artist, Toas, New Mexico Fenn Galleries, Ltd., Santa Fe, New Mexico Thomas Nygard Inc., Bozeman, Montana Private Collection, Montana Letter of Authentication: Forrest Fenn, author of Joseph Henry Sharp The Beat of the Drum, the Whoop of the Dance provided a Letter of Authentication dated March 11, 1999 for J.H. Sharp’s “Indian Summer,” which conveys with the painting, and is housed in an envelope on the foam core backing. Certificate of Authentication: Nedra Matteucci Galleries of Santa Fe, New Mexico provided a Certificate of Authentication for J.H. Sharp’s “Indian Summer,” which conveys with the painting, and is housed in an envelope on the foam core backing. Joseph Henry Sharp made his first trip to the Crow Agency in Montana in the summer of 1899. By 1901 he elected to live on the Crow Agency, first at the Server Hotel and later in several studios, including his famous Absarokee Hut. The studio was built for year-round painting, but Sharp and his wife largely stuck to winters in Montana and summers in Taos, New Mexico. While Sharp is known as a Taoseño, possible the most famous resident of the town, his work from Montana includes some of his greatest masterpieces. Indian Summer, inspired by his trips to Montana, is not dated, but Forrest Fenn’s book on Sharp, Teepee Smoke, suggests it may have been painted between 1919 and 1921.
