The Frederic Remington Catalogue Raisonné
Melissa J. Webster
Catalogue raisonné, a French term, literally means “reasoned catalogue”1 and is translated as descriptive catalogue. A catalogue raisonné lists and often illustrates either a particular category of an artist’s work or the entire oeuvre. The Remington catalogue raisonné includes signed oils, watercolors and drawings by the artist. It also includes any unsigned oils, watercolors and drawings that were published during his lifetime as well as certain unsigned, unfinished paintings and oil studies in the collections of the Frederic Remington Art Museum and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. Selected unsigned studies, drawings and photographs that relate to a particular finished artwork are also depicted or referred to. The type of information listed for the objects includes, when available, curatorial data, provenance, exhibition history, bibliography, location and comments or explanations.
There are many ways to structure a catalogue raisonné. In this catalogue, the artworks are organized chronologically by year. Because the majority were originally illustrations, within each year, we have organized the artworks into two major groupings: “Not Illustrated in the Ar

Remington has been forged since the early 20th Century. His most famous forger was named Eugene Field, Jr., who copied in watercolor Remington illustrations from black and white books and magazines. He also made inscriptions in books, signing Frederic Remington's name. Field invented a "kicking horse" signature for his faux Remingtons. In each of Field's "Frederic Remington" signatures, he drew a horse leaping from the "F."
Since Remington's work was widely available in prints and illustrations as early as the 1880s, and was also highly valued and popular, there are many forged Remington oil paintings. Some are copies of prints in circulation, some are in Remington's style, but not copied from any particular work, and in some cases the only association they have is that Remington's name appears on their surface. There are fake Remington sketchbooks and drawings. These works are executed with a range of effectiveness, from the absurd to the high
