If you successfully bid for a Lot and buy it, at that stage Bertolami Fine Arts LTD does enter into an agreement with the Buyer. The terms of that contract are set out in our Buyer’s Agreement, which you will find beneath. 2. LOTS Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold letters in the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue, Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. Illustrations and photographs contained in the Catalogue (other than photographs forming part of the Contractual Description) or elsewhere of any Lots are for identification purposes only.

Authenticity The Auction House offers an unconditional and unlimited guarantee for the authenticity of objects. All identifications and descriptions of the items sold in this catalogue are statements of opinion and were made in good faith. 4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend and you should take the opportunity to do so. We do reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse admission to our premises or to any Sale without stating a reason. We have complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds, whether any Lot is included in the Sale, the manner in which the Sale is conducted and we may offer Lots for Sale in any order we choose notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue. You should therefore check the date and starting time of the Sale, whether there have been any withdrawals or late entries. Remember that withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot you are interested in is put up for Sale. We have complete discretion to refuse any bid, to nominate any bidding increment we consider appropriate, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot from a Sale and, before the Sale has been closed, to put up any Lot for auction again. Some lots may carry a reserve. The auctioneer reserves the right not to sell an item below the confidential price, or will repurchase the item on behalf of the consignor or for the account of BFA. If a reserve exists the auctioneer reserves the right to bid on any lot on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve against any floor or mail bidders. The auctioneer also reserves the right to bid on any lot on behalf of BFA. The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid acceptable to the Auctioneer for any Lot (subject to any applicable Reserve) to whom the Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer at the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Any dispute as to the highest acceptable bid will be settled by the Auctioneer in his absolute discretion. All bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by the Auctioneer. An electronic currency converter may be used at the Sale. This equipment is provided as a general guide as to the equivalent amount in certain currencies of a given bid. All estimates are in POUNDS STERLING. We do not accept any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of the currency converter. We may use video cameras to record the Sale. 5. BIDDING We do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and delivered to us one of our Bidding Forms, either our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or Telephone Bidding Form. You will be asked for proof of identity, residence and references, which, when asked for, you must supply if your bids are to be accepted by us. Please bring your passport, driving license (or similar photographic proof of identity) and proof of address. We may request a deposit from you before allowing you to bid. We may refuse entry to a Sale to any person even if that person has completed a Bidding Form. Bidding in person You should come to our Bidder registration desk at the Sale venue and fill out a Bidder Registration Form on (or, if possible, before) the day of the Sale. The bidding number system is sometimes referred to as “paddle bidding”. You will be issued with a large card (a “paddle”) with a printed number on it. This will be attributed to you for the purposes of the Sale. Should you be a successful Bidder you will need to ensure that your number can be clearly seen by the Auctioneer and that it is your number which is identified as the Buyer’s. You should not let anyone else use your paddle as all Lots will be invoiced to the name and address given on your Bidder Registration Form. Once an invoice is issued it will not be changed. If there is any doubt as to the Hammer Price of, or whether you are the successful Bidder of, a particular Lot, you must draw this to the attention of the Auctioneer before the next Lot is offered for Sale. At the end of the Sale, or when you have finished bidding please return your paddle to the Bidder registration desk. Bidding by telephone (only available on lots with a low estimate greater than £ 500) If you wish to bid at the Sale by telephone, please complete a Telephone Bidding Form, which is available from our offices or in the Catalogue. Please then return it to the office responsible for the Sale at least 24 hours in advance of the Sale. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been received. Telephone calls will be recorded. The telephone bidding facility is a discretionary service and may not be available in relation to all Lots. We will not be responsible for bidding on your behalf if you are unavailable at the time of

the Sale or if the telephone connection is interrupted during bidding. Our staff will be available for phone calls in foreign languages as long as previously agreed. Bidding by post or fax Absentee Bidding Forms can be found in the back of this Catalogue and should be completed and sent to the office responsible for the Sale. It is in your interests to return your form as soon as possible, as if two or more Bidders submit identical bids for a Lot, the first bid received takes preference. In any event, all bids should be received at least 24 hours before the start of the Sale. Please check your Absentee Bidding Form carefully before returning it to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been received. This additional service is complimentary and is confidential. Such bids are made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability for our failure to receive and/or place any such bids. All bids made on your behalf will be made at the lowest level possible subject to Reserves and other bids made for the Lot. Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the Auctioneer’s bidding increments. New Bidders must also provide proof of identity and address when submitting bids. Failure to do this will result in your bid not being placed. Bidding via the internet Please visit our Website at www.bertolamifinearts.com for details of how to bid via the internet. Bidding through an agent Bids will be accepted as placed on behalf of the person named as the principal on the Bidding Form although we may refuse to accept bids from an agent on behalf of a principal and will require written confirmation from the principal confirming the agent’s authority to bid.

Il compratore dovrà pagare il prezzo di acquisto, che è il prezzo di aggiudicazione in asta oltre le commissioni e l’IVA di legge. Le condizioni tra Bertolami Fine Arts LTD come mediatore e l’acquirente sono regolati da altro contratto. I potenziali aggiudicatari, sono pregati di leggere attentamente i termini e le condizioni contrattuali per la vendita contenute nel catalogo. In qualità di mediatore della vendita, Bertolami Fine Arts LTD si avvale della possibilità di cambiare i termini di uno o entrambi gli accordi stipulati prima della loro vendita in asta, inserendoli nel catalogo e/o inserendo un avviso nel nostro sito internet o presso la sede di vendita e/o attraverso annunci orali prima e durante la vendita. 7. PREZZO DI AGGIUDICAZIONE, COMMISSIONE D’ACQUISTO E IVA Al prezzo di aggiudicazione del lotto sarà aggiunta una commissione d’acquisto che l’acquirente è tenuto a pagare quale parte dell’ammontare totale dovuto. La commissione d’acquisto è indicata nelle informazioni dell’asta. Al fine di armonizzare le procedure fiscali tra i paesi dell’Unione Europea, con decorrenza 1 gennaio 2001 sono state introdotte nuove regole con l’estensione alle Case d’Asta del regime del margine. L’art. 45 della legge 342 del 21 novembre 2000 prevede l’applicazione di tale regime alle vendite concluse in esecuzione ai contratti di commissione definiti con: • soggetti privati; • soggetti passivi d’imposta che hanno assoggettato l’operazione al regime del margine; • soggetti che non hanno potuto detrarre l’imposta ai sensi degli art. 19, 19-bis, e 19-bis2 del DPR. 633/72 (che hanno venduto il bene in esenzione ex-art. 10, 27-quinquies) • soggetti che beneficiano del regime di franchigia previsto per le piccole imprese nello Stato di appartenenza. In forza della speciale normativa, nei casi sopracitati eventuali imposta IVA, ovvero una somma sostitutiva di IVA, se applicabile, viene applicata dalla Casa d’Asta. Nessun simbolo verrà usato per i lotti venduti nel regime del margine.
