This is an incredibly rare opportunity to own private works from the studio of one of Colorado’s most well-known artists, and we are incredibly grateful to be stewarding this historic sale.
Michael Ricker is a globally known artist whose legendary pewter work has made him a household name on the front-range, where he was born and raised. His work is shown in museums, galleries, and held in the private collections of both celebrities, athletes, and former presidents. He was a committed philanthropist, visionary entrepreneur, and consummate artist. His pewter sculptures depicted animals, trains, towns, historic figures of the west and so much more.
Many times in our sales we have sold his wonderful pewter creations, but to see these historic rare pieces have truly blown us away.
