Guidance: Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries, September 23, 2017 - $18,300 (Stegasaurus and Certosaurus). The 24 paintings that Knight created for the February, 1942, issue of National Geographic were certainly his most widely published body of work. That issue allowed millions of people to see, in many cases for the first time, the strange and fascinating living world of the past. The “Six-Horned Uintatheres,” is absolutely one of the most colorful paintings in the series
