About George Phippen

Born

Died

1966

Nationality

American

George Phippen (1915–1966) was an American painter and sculptor associated with Arizona. He helped establish the Cowboy Artists of America and served as its first president, placing him within an organized American Western art context. The Phippen Museum in Prescott, Arizona, bears his name. Collectors may encounter his work across several auction groupings, including fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Appraisily’s matched auction index includes public sale records spanning 1992–2026. Identity evidence in the collected source pack comes mainly from Wikidata and Wikipedia, with an RKD authority profile also identified. Detailed scholarly biography, museum cataloguing, and work-level subject information were not present in the supplied material. This limits how confidently narrower stylistic labels, recurring subjects, or distinct career periods can be described.

Common works and media

Auction records group George Phippen’s work under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. These are broad index categories rather than a definitive catalogue of his production. When identifying a possible work, record its medium, dimensions, support, signature or inscriptions, edition information, condition, provenance, and subject before selecting comparable sales.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public index reports an observed auction range of $70 to $39,000 and a median realized result of about $4,687 among its matched records. Those figures describe the collected dataset, not a prediction for an individual object. A sound appraisal should compare works sharing the same medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, attribution status, and edition characteristics. Signature or inscription details, provenance, restoration, exhibition history, and relevant catalogue references may also affect comparability. Reported auction prices can differ in whether they include buyer premiums or fees, while private sales and incomplete feeds may remain outside the dataset. Recent comparable public sales should therefore be examined lot by lot.
