Sold at Auction: Ken Payne

Sculptor Ken Payne is famous for Western-themed bronzes depicting Native Americans, cowboys, buffaloes, and wolves in action. Payne was influenced by the Greek and Roman masters, wanting to capture that same majesty in an historic frontier setting. Being born on a 24,000-acre ranch in New Mexico in 1938, he created artworks in his spare time, building a portfolio of Payne animal sculptures for sale. Eventually he went on to mentor young artists, teaching them stories of the disappearing Old West as he sculpted.

Sculptor Ken Payne became a world-renowned, influential bronze sculptor, selling pieces such as Where Smoke Talks (1994) and Stolen Medicine (1992). Ken Payne sculptures have sold in past years in excess of $4,000 each. Indulge your inner cowboy with wild animal sculptures for sale online and at auction.
