Important works, such as Mount McKinley from the South Side , were originally a part of the collection of Hollywood Western film actor, producer and director George Montgomery and are being sold to support the care of collections and acquisitions funds of Palm Springs Art Museum. Montgomery was born near Great Falls, Montana and was well known for his work as a rugged cowboy or ranch hand in over 80 Western films and television programs in the 1930s through the 1970s. His early film credits include, Davey Crockett, Indian Scout (1950), The Texas Rangers (1951), Jack McCall Desperado (1953), and Gun Dual in Durango (1957). He went on to appear in numerous television shows including episodes of Wagon Train, Bonanza and the Six Million Dollar Man. As a Western renaissance man, George Montgomery was a skilled wood worker and later expanded his artistic interest to include bronze work. He was self-taught and sculpted upwards of 50 bronze sculptures of subjects such as his friends and colleagues John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Gene Autry and Ronald Reagan.
