Ace Powell (Asa L. Powell) ~ Famous Montana Artist
Ace Powell oil
Ace Powell is a legend in the Montana western art scene. Ace was a prolific painter and sculptor who produced an incredible amount of material. The Kalispell dealers and collectors kept him busy painting as fast as he could put the work out. Ace was never as skilled as other early Montana painters like C.M. Russell, O.C. Seltzer, J.H. Sharp, Edgar Paxson, but there is a certain mystique within the Montana collecting and dealing fraternity about Ace Powell that many artists never acquire. It is a combination of being prolific, Powell’s charismatic personality and famed drinking sessions, being heavily marketed by several local art dealers, etc. Whatever the formula, Ace Powell has become a highly sought after Montana artist not only in his home state, but regionally as well.

I have several black and white drawings by Ace Powell. My great uncle was an artist and somehow acquired these early drawings. They are framed under glass and I’m interested in selling at least one of them.
You can contact me at my email or I’ll try to phone at a later date.
Thank you for your time,

Dear Sir,
We have a print of a North American Indian signed by POWELL.( Sacred Ground) 937/1000.
Please could me tell me whether this could be of some value?
Thank you

I am looking for a painting or drawing of my grandfather Ray Murphy, reputedly done by Ace Powell. Might you have it or know who I might ask about it?
Thank you for your time,
