Bronze Sculpture by Dave McGary<br />
“Not Afraid of Pawnee Maquette”<br />
Limited Edition: 29/50<br />
27 H “ x 18 W” 9” D<br />
38 pounds<br />
Dave McGary’s soul-stirring bronze sculptures document the<br />
culture of Native Americans. On Display now at Meyer Gallery –<br />
305 Main Street Park City<br />
Valued at $17,000<br />
One of the many practices that McGary learned while studying<br />
bronze casting under the American sculptor Harry Jackson was<br />
that of applying paints, as well as patinas, to finished surfaces. In<br />
Not Afraid of Pawnee, a bust of the late nineteenth-century<br />
Yankton Sioux warrior, McGary's coloration operates<br />
aesthetically and symbolically: the black of the Sioux's face paint<br />
suggests his deadened feelings of revenge, and the red of his shirt<br />
the power he derives from Mother Earth. Not Afraid of Pawnee<br />
wears as a sign of his battle prowess his characteristic timber-wolf<br />
headdress, fringed with golden eagle feathers, which sacred,<br />
must never touch the ground. On his left shoulder, he supports a<br />
Spencer rifle encased in a beaded Sioux case.<br />

VALUE: $6400<br />
Artist: Rebecca Kinkead<br />
Oil & Wax on Canvas<br />
50 “ x 46”<br />
“The smallest things are often what connect us as human beings.<br />
The calming presence of a sibling or friend, moments of anticipation,<br />
tenderness,<br />
and personal triumph are realities we share.<br />
These paintings are based on memories, both personal and borrowed.<br />
They are an attempt to explore a collective human experience.<br />
Details and features remain ambiguous, inviting the viewer to seek something of themselves in the<br />
work. The figure (human and animal) has provided a generous vehicle for color, form and surface to<br />
evolve. Paint and wax are layered, dripped and scraped to create a sense that the subject is still<br />
emerging… still ‘becoming’.”<br />

Fisher Vineyards was founded by Fred and Juelle Fisher in 1973. The winery is nestled on the western face of<br />
Spring Mountain at an elevation of 1,500 feet. We are blessed with five outstanding estate vineyards in two of<br />
California’s most prestigious wine regions: the Napa Valley and the Sonoma Mayacamas Mountains. Our<br />
steadfast belief is that great wines begin in great vineyards. We therefore recognize and acknowledge these<br />
vineyards as the origin of our fine wines. Our winemaking techniques, emanating from traditional French<br />
methods, have been adapted with great care and experimentation for over a quarter of a century to bring<br />
forth wines reflecting the true beauty and potential of the grapes from these choice vineyards. From these<br />
two estates come six Bordeaux-styled wines; four single vineyard Cabernets and two Cabernet blends; these<br />
magnums represent the 2007 vintage, which was a vintage with small production and concentrated fruit. Also<br />
included is a private VIP tour of Fisher Vineyards and lunch for four people in the Madrone Grove above the<br />
winery overlooking the celebrated Wedding Vineyard. Lunch will be prepared in the rustic Tuscan woodburning<br />
oven in the Grove. The Fisher Family invites you to stroll around the vineyards, hike the terraces, play<br />
a rousing game of Péntanque or simply sit on a rock enjoy the view and sip our delicious wines while lunch is<br />
being prepared. The choice is yours! We all look forward to your visit.<br />

16. Not Afraid of Pawnee<br />
VALUE: $17,000<br />
Artist: Dave McGary<br />
Bronze with Patina and Paint<br />
Limited Edition: 29/50<br />
27” High x 18” Wide 9” Deep, 38 pounds<br />
Dave McGary, at 52, is becoming a living legend among contemporary artists of the American West. He is<br />
considered the Master of Realism depicting Native American Indians and his many awards during the past<br />
decade more than verify his popularity among collectors and fellow artists. His ability to capture the human<br />
spirit knows no equal, and his attention to detail in form and historic content are exhilarating.
Not Afraid of Pawnee, a Yankton Sioux, lived in the late 1800’s. Known for his great prowess and courage as a<br />
warrior, he successfully led his warriors against the fierce Pawnee. He is depicted wearing his Timber Wolf<br />
headdress which exemplified craft in war. He is carrying a Spencer Rifle with brass trade tacks encased in a<br />
beaded Sioux gun case. His war bonnet, with spiked feathers of the Golden Eagle, is considered sacred and<br />
must never touch the ground. His face paint of black coloring symbolized the fires of revenge burned out of his<br />
soul and the color red, the power he uses from Mother Earth.<br />

With a five year waiting list for original works and a price tag of well over six figures for original oils, consider<br />
this an exclusive opportunity to own a piece of art history from the one and only Thomas Arvid. This work was<br />
created live here this week during the Red, White and Snow events and features some of our supporting<br />
wineries here tonight. Arvid composed this mixed media painting on canvas using pencil, charcoal, acrylic and<br />
oil paint.<br />

One (1) 6 Liter Bottle of 2007 Elevage, Chimney Rock Winery<br />
Private Dinner for Sixteen (16) People at the Riverhorse on Main prepared by Executive Chef, Seth Adams<br />
The verdict is out on Chimney Rock Winery’s 2007 Elevage – it is superlative. We found true perfection in<br />
many ways this year. The berry size in the vineyard was perfection, the aromas extraordinary, the body of<br />
these wines is incomparable. We are truly excited to share the gift of 2007 with our fans. Elevage, our<br />
proprietary blend demonstrates the classic texture of Stags Leap District – velvet-smooth tannins frame a<br />
complex blend inspired by Cheval Blanc.<br />
The Riverhorse on Main is one of the oldest and most distinguished restaurants on Park City’s historic Main<br />
Street. Since its opening on New Year’s Eve, 1987, the Riverhorse has been highly regarded by both restaurant<br />
critics and the dining public. In 1995, the Riverhorse became the first restaurant in Utah to receive the DiRōNA<br />
Award. This very prestigious honor, dedicated to “excellence in dining,” was bestowed that year on only 223<br />
restaurants in North America. The Riverhorse has maintained this distinguished honor each year since.<br />
On January 16th, 2000, the Riverhorse received the ultimate honor in the hospitality industry, when it was<br />
selected by the Mobil Travel Guide as one of the top 108 restaurants in the United States, Canada, and<br />
Mexico. The Riverhorse is the first restaurant in Utah to ever receive this highly coveted award and the only<br />
restaurant in the state to ever be honored with both the DiRōNA Award and the Mobil Four Star Award.<br />
