SINCE YOU ASKED Kodiak bear mount sold for $3,700 at Dubs auction So how much did that stuffed Kodiak brown bear fetch in last week's auction of hunter Art Dubs' collection? Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 12, 2014 @ 2:00 am Updated Sep 17, 2014 at 12:31 PM Posted Sep. 12, 2014 @ 2:00 am Updated Sep 17, 2014 at 12:31 PM » Social News So how much did that stuffed Kodiak brown bear fetch in last week's auction of hunter Art Dubs' collection? — L.L., email submission Well, L.L., that 8-foot-tall standing mount of a Kodiak black bear garnered a lot of interest in Saturday's auction of some of the estate left when moviemaker and globetrotting big-game hunter Art Dubs of Medford died last year. The bear ended up selling for $3,700, says auctioneer J.B. Dimick, who was one of two auctioneers working the Saturday event at the Expo. It was one of about 300 pieces of everything from paintings and bronzes and exotic wildlife mounts in the auction, which netted close to $200,000 for the Arthur Dubs Foundation. The top-dollar item was a bronze sculpture of a Native American releasing a bald eagle done by artist Douglas Van Howd, Dimick says. The statue, which was mounted on a piece of petrified wood, sold for $7,200 — which is quite a steal, because it was appraised in 1988 at $28,000. The painting that drew the highest bid was "Old Scarface," a limited-edition print by Lorenzo Ghighlieri of an old bighorn sheep. It sold for $3,000 to a Salt Lake City couple who made the drive to Central Point just to bid on the print, Dimick says. Send questions to “Since You Asked,” Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O.
