Churchill Art Piece Called Into Question

by CBS4 News reporter Raj Chohan

Feb 24, 2005 8:03 pm US/Mountain BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) Boulder County resident Duke Prentup has been a fan of native American art for as long as he can remember. That love of art took him to the home of Ward Churchill in the early 1980's, where Prentup bought several pieces of Churchill's art, including a serigraph titled "Winter Attack."

"I have enjoyed them ever since immensely, they're obviously up inside my house," Prentup said.

Last month came a stunning revelation, though, as as Prentup flipped through a 1972 book called The Mystic Warriors of the Plains written and illustrated by the late artist Thomas E. Mails. He found a sketch that was strikingly similar to the Churchill piece.

Didn't I tell you somebody would be right along to help find it? :-)

We kick butt here; and the thing that makes me furious is that the damn blogs will steal all this and run with it starting about 7 a.m. today!

There is no way all these "styles" of art were done by one artist. Am calling the Denver TV station with a recommendation to check this thread, ebay and elsewhere.

Little Big Man Photo-Postcard
- LITTLE BIG MAN - Ogalalla Dakota Sioux As a member of the Sioux tribe, Little Big Man battled against the “white” intruders during the late 19th century. In September 1875, during negotiations at Red Cloud Agency regarding the future ownership of the Black Hills, he led a mock charge at the white commissioners by a large group of warriors. Firing their guns and shouting ritual war chants, they badly scared everyone but did no physical damage. After the Wounded Knee massacre of his tribe, the Sioux were forced to surrender and remain on reservations. Little Big Man was later made an agency policeman. (Credit Photo: W.H. Jackson circa 1870’s) TCWEKQ92

Little Big Man
Sioux, Oglala
Photographed by Charles M. Bell
Copyright 1877

Oglala Sioux Warrior. A fearless and respected
warrior who fought along side of Crazy Horse
against Bear Coat Miles, Little Big Man opposed the
treaty and the commission that wanted to take the
Black Hills from the Sioux. He was later made into
an agency policeman by the whiteman, and some
think that he was partially responsible for the death
of Crazy Horse.

It would be strange in this topsy-turvy world that the fake art generates higher worth than the originals just because they are fake.
