## About Ace Powell

Ace Powell (1912–1978), born Asa Lynn Powell, was an American painter, sculptor, and etcher associated with the art of the American West. His documented subject range includes genre scenes, Native American figures, cowboys, horses, and wildlife. The available biography places his work in a Montana-centered Western tradition and identifies fellow Montana artist Charles M. Russell as an influence. Although Powell preferred oil paint, his output also included watercolors, drawings, etchings, and sculpture in bronze, terracotta, and wood. This breadth helps explain why collectors may encounter his name across several auction categories rather than in one medium alone. Authority records connect the professional name Ace Powell with Asa Lynn Powell and the 1912–1978 lifespan. The collected sources do not establish formal membership in an art movement or provide exact birth and death dates, so those details should remain qualified.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Ace Powell include oil and watercolor paintings, drawings, etchings, and sculpture made in bronze, terracotta, or wood. Collectors may encounter Western genre scenes featuring Native American subjects, cowboys, horses, and wildlife. Medium, object type, and subject should be recorded carefully before choosing auction comparables.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily input associates Ace Powell with 582 auction records, but this source pack does not provide lot-level sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or attribution notes. Appraisal should therefore begin by identifying the object type and medium: an oil, watercolor, drawing, etching, bronze, terracotta, or wood work should be compared with genuinely similar material. Documented subject matter can also guide comparable selection because Powell's imagery spans Native American figures, cowboys, horses, wildlife, and broader genre scenes. Sculpture should not automatically be treated as an editioned bronze; the supplied sources do not establish edition or casting practices. Any market conclusion should rely on verified object details and comparable public auction records rather than the artist name alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This source pack establishes a basic identity and work profile but does not expose lot-level market results.
