“Las Vegas’s Bellagio, it seems, is not Nevada’s only art attraction: Reno is home to the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, the nation’s biggest and most successful auction of Western art. Every July, hundreds of well-heeled collectors from Maine to Hawaii flock here and spend millions of dollars on important works by Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, and other celebrated painters of the Old West. Any one of them will be glad to tell you why these works are here instead of at some fancy-pants auction house in Manhattan.”
