Artist context

About Dan Bodelson

Dan Bodelson is a Western painter whose documented subjects include historic Western and Native American scenes, landscapes, and still lifes. A 2013 editorial profile describes an artistic path that began with his teenage years in Santa Fe, continued through art study and a brief period in California illustration, and returned to New Mexico. This background connects his work to the visual culture of the American West and to subjects rooted in regional landscape, people, and material life. Collectors may encounter Bodelson through original oils as well as lithographs. The available auction record spans regional Western-art specialists and other auction houses, so accurate cataloguing matters: title, medium, support, dimensions, date, signature, and subject can all help distinguish the most relevant documented comparisons for a particular work.

Common works and media

His documented work includes oil paintings of historic Western and Native American subjects, landscapes, and still lifes. Auction records also identify oil on canvas, oil on board, and lithographs. Works can therefore appear as original paintings or graphic editions; record the title, medium, support, measurements, date, signature, condition, and, for prints, edition details before matching comparable lots.

Market and appraisal context

The collected auction data includes both original paintings and lithographs by Dan Bodelson. A useful appraisal begins with the exact medium and support, dimensions, title, date, signature or inscription, condition, and ownership history. Subject matter is also important because the documented record includes Western scenes, landscapes, and other categories that may not be directly comparable. For lithographs, edition, signature, and numbering details should be recorded before selecting sales comparisons. Public auction results can provide context, but reported totals may include buyer premiums or fees differently. A focused comparison with similar, well-documented lots is more reliable than treating an artist-wide median as a value for a specific work.

Appraisal caveats

  • The available auction-summary excerpt reports inconsistent tracked-lot totals, so it is best used as a directional record index rather than a definitive census.
  • Public auction results may handle buyer premiums and fees differently; comparable results should be normalized where possible.
  • The source pack lacks a primary artist biography, authority record, or catalogue raisonné.
