MacDonald ‘89 7/30 Regina Luminare is the balance, the counterpoint to Orpheo, from MacDonald’s masterwork Cinema Architectonica. MacDonald’s vision of Regina Luminaire is a feminine heroic figure that is exquisite in form and richly metaphoric. “Queen of Light” she carries the art of hope and the triangle of perfection. Regina’s power and presence is seen in the union of earth, sea and sky. Her being is emerging from the earth, wings show their ability to command the air and the waves show her dominion over the seas. The draping and integration of the angular architectural forms and feminine lines is powerful and emotive. Provenance: Private Collection, New Mexico $12,000 – $18,000

134 JAMES EARLE FRASER (1876–1953) End of the Trail, modeled 1915, cast 1967 bronze 34 ½ x 9 ½ x 28 in. (87.63 x 24.13 x 71.12 cm.) inscribed near base: J. E. FRASER © SU 21* The original plasters for these sculptures (see also Lots 138, 139, and 140) were bequeathed to Syracuse University by the estate of Laura Gardin Fraser, the widow of James Earle Fraser. Her Estate authorized limited castings to be made from these original plasters. James Earle Fraser worked as an assistant to Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the Sherman Monument (1892–1903), for the Grand Army Plaza in New York. His sculptural entries in major early twentieth century expositions, such as the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, and the 1939 New York World’s Fair, earned him medals, as well as public and critical acclaim. The design of the Indian head and buffalo nickel for the United States Treasury in 1912, the figure of Theodore Roosevelt on horseback for the entry to the American Museum of Natural History, and numerous other public sculptures, including the Department of the Treasury, the Commerce Building, the National Archives, and the Supreme Court, in Washington D.C., are among the sculptor’s most notable public commissions. The sculptor was also one of the organizers of and contributors to the famous, avant-garde International Exhibition of Modern Art, known as the Armory Show, of 1913. Fraser’s most acclaimed sculpture neither evokes his European academic training, nor the influence of the East Coast cities where he worked; End of the Trail is a romanticized and nostalgic image of the vanishing West. It is a powerful yet poetic work that is resoundingly clear in its sympathy to the subject matter. While in Paris he had worked on the theme (the plaster is now lost) and the work was awarded a gold medal in 1910. By the end of 1913, he had cemented his vision of “an Indian on a horse” and the work was accepted for the Pan Pacific exhibition which opened in February 1915 in San Francisco. End of the Trail was awarded the gold medal as the outstanding sculptural work at the fair. This monumental plaster, which measures eighteen feet high, (National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City) was subsequently cast for sites in public parks, in Wisconsin and California. This image was so popular that the artist issued reductions in various sizes and all were cast at the Roman Bronze works foundry. Fraser at his death bequeathed all of his models and archives to the Syracuse University and they were permitted by the Estate to cast posthumous bronzes from the artist’s original plasters.

Prior to the 1930’s and the rise of the tourist trade, Navajo jewelry was made for adornment. A sign of pride and a status statement both within and outside the community. It’s this specific point of interest that has inspired the Foothills California studio to pair antique Native American belt buckles with period vintage belts that preserve the originality and integrity of each piece. Artisans carefully select, match, and restore each component, from aged leather to silver and stonework. Quickly approaching thirty years in the vintage/antique business their creations have captured the attention of the world’s finest retailers, showrooms, private collectors and enthusiasts.

Between 1585 and 1820 giant Spanish Galleons laden with silver, gold, furniture, decorative and religious art and artisans left once a year from Acapulco Bay on a several months long westerly voyage for Manila Bay, where a “trade fair” would take place attracting merchants from all over Asia. Chinese junks, ships from the Portuguese and Dutch colonies in Indonesia and Malaysia, boats from Japan and as far away as India would all anchor in Manila Bay to exchange and purchase goods. This marketplace, the largest of its kind in the world at the time, would generate an excitement not only in the purchasing of exotic and luxurious goods, but also in the exchange of political, cultural, ethno-religious and stylistic ideas. After a robust month or two of trade and preparations for a long return voyage, the galleons would depart for Acapulco Bay taking a much more Northerly route until making landfall just North of San Francisco and following the coast of California south with the constant threat of pirate attack, mutiny and starvation at the helm. After unloading some of the precious cargo along the way that was not on the official manifest and considered contraband, the galleon would finally arrive and anchor in Acapulco Bay where there was held another several month long “trade fair”. Merchants would arrive from Peru, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal to exchange and purchase goods. Mexican merchants sent coveted luxurious items overland into the populated center of Mexico’s altiplano. Peru sent a shipment home, and the European merchants sent the previously unknown and exotic luxuries overland to Veracruz and then through the Caribbean colonies on to Europe by sea. This Acapulco-Manila trade created an economic revival in Europe and served to stimulate the economies of the Americas as well as those of Asia perpetuating the first globalization of the world that lasted for nearly 250 years. It is considered the longest running consecutive trade route in the history of mankind and generated an exciting exchange of novel ideas, customs, and a mutual influence in the design of furniture, decorative art and religious iconology.

172 NICOLAS OTERO (b. 1981) A Labor of Reverence - The Stations of the Cross, 2009 A collaborative project, together with: Christine Montoya (tinwork), Jimmy Trujillo (straw inlay crosses), and Julia R. Gomez (colcha textiles) hand-adzed wood, gesso, natural pigments, tin, wood, straw, cotton embroidery Retablo (each): 15 x 12 in. (38.10 x 30.48 cm.) Panel One inscribed verso: A Labor of Reverence / Commissioned by the David P. Smolarek Family / In Loving Memory of Lorraine Joan Smolarek / 1933-2005 / July 24th 2009 / Nicolas R Otero Provenance: The Smolarek Trust Collection $40,000 – $60,000

After seven years of planning and production, the fifteen Alabados Stations of the Cross is the stunning result of a collaboration between four iconic contemporary Santeros that are masters in their field. This original “Way of the Cross” takes place in the Southwest desert where the drama unfolds amid cacti and desert foliage. Nicolas Otero painstakingly painted the large wooden retablos with the goal of linking the traditional Passion Story to the spiritual heartbeat of the Penitentes by incorporating ancient Alabados (hymns) into the designs of each Station. The appropriate Spanish verse of the hymn is unobtrusively woven into each design, with the English translation written on the back. Jimmy Trujillo handmade each of the fifteen straw-inlay wooden crosses with a different design, alternating between geometric and floral motifs. It was important to satisfy the tradition that each Station have a wooden cross attached to it, to represent the “True Cross”. Christine Montoya Carey expertly crafted a unique tin frame for each Station with a rosary encircling the retablo. The rosary center is a large bamboo coral bead representing the Blood of Christ, and the straw inlay cross forms the crucifix of the rosary. The artist fashioned a unique miniature tableau on each frame to represent the spiritual importance of that step in the Passion Play. The fourth and last collaborator of this major masterwork is Julia Gomez with her contribution of colcha numbers on hand woven sabanilla (altar cloth). Placed within a cutout window of each tin frame, the numbers guide you along each step of this spiritual pilgrimage to experience the Passion of Christ. Blessed by Bishop Wall of Gallup when he visited Santa Fe, this Alabados Via Cruz would be appropriate at your home, in a private capilla, within a local oratorio or a glorious church setting.

CHRISTOPHER CARDOZO

(February 27, 1948 — February 21, 2021)

Christopher Cardozo was the world’s leading authority on Edward Curtis. Author of nine books, and curator of over 100 exhibitions in 42 countries and 6 continents, Chris was devoted to the promotion, exhibition, publication and study of the photographer’s life work, bringing the legacy Curtis created, in collaboration with some 10,000 Native Americans, to contemporary audiences. Cardozo first discovered the work of Edward Curtis in 1973 after a friend saw Cardozo’s own sepia-toned photographs of indigenous people taken during an extended period in Mexico. He took photos in somber, sepia tones. He made friends. He was held at gunpoint. He knew that the experience was changing his life. Heading home to St. Paul, Minnesota, he stopped in Albuquerque, where he first encountered some of Curtis’ prints and experienced a “shock of recognition.” As his sister, Julie, now tells it, “Our dad had given him a credit card for emergencies, but Chris went to Boulder and bought a Curtis photogravure with the card. ‘This is an emergency,’ he said. And that was it. That was how he discovered Curtis.” Cardozo returned to his hometown of St. Paul and voraciously consumed everything he could find about Curtis’ life and work. He then began speaking with dealers, traveling to auctions and learning and buying as many of the photographs as he could find. After a brief stint with a gallery in Minneapolis, Cardozo headed to Aspen, Colorado and opened a gallery there in the late 1980s. The gallery remained for about ten years until Chris decided to return home to Minnesota and continue collecting and selling Curtis material. In a 2018 interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Cardozo said “I was led to this. This is my soul’s purpose. Why I ended up on Earth at this particular time was to make this work available to people.” Cardozo also served as a consultant/curator for many private Curtis collections as well as public institutions, including the J. Pierpont Morgan Library. In the 1970s Curtis’ work was rediscovered by the photographic and fine art community, in large part due to the efforts of Cardozo. In the same interview with the Star Tribune, he stated, “I believe I was instrumental in changing the conversation about Curtis. He’d been thought of as an ethnographer…But I got people to see his work as the artistic achievement that it was. The platinum prints, the gold tones, the cyanotypes…they leave me speechless at times.” Cardozo is the author of nine monographs on Edward Curtis and has created and curated one-person Curtis exhibitions that have been seen in nearly one hundred venues in over forty countries, and on every continent, but Antarctica. Having collected Curtis’s artwork for decades, Cardozo created the world’s largest and most broad-ranging Curtis collection. This personal collection has been exhibited in major museums internationally and was the subject of his widely heralded monograph on Curtis: Sacred Legacy; Edward S. Curtis and The North American Indian, and a new monograph on his personal collection titled Edward S. Curtis: One Hundred Masterworks, in which Cardozo said “Curtis’ work changed the way our nation viewed Native Americans and generated a broad-ranging dialogue for greater compassion, understanding, and inclusion. For more than a century, his images have moved and inspired diverse audiences, transcending economic, cultural, social, educational, and national boundaries. He accomplished this at a time when Native Americans were commonly viewed with disdain or hatred and some individuals were still actively advocating for the extinction of all Native peoples on the North American continent.”

This is an excellent example of this stunning portrait, printed in the platinum process and presented on a large double mount. This iconic Curtis photograph was originally published as a small format photogravure (approximately 7” x 5” image size) in The North American Indian. It is estimated that only five or six of these large format platinum prints exist. It has always been very highly sought after as a platinum print, on a par with the portraits of “Chief Joseph” and “A Walpi Man”. This is an extremely beautiful version of this photograph: open, luminous, subtle and warm toned.

CURTIS in negative lower left: 301-04 negative date: 1904, print date: 1904, Navajo, Southwest “The Vanishing Race” was Curtis’ signature piece. It was the visual metaphor for the core conceptual underpinning of Curtis’ entire thirtyyear project i.e., that Native Americans, as a culture at least, were vanishing. It became Curtis’ over-arching goal to create a record of them and their world before they disappeared forever. Curtis searched for an image to embody this idea for nearly four years before creating “The Vanishing Race”. A century ago, it was by far and away Curtis’ most popular single image. Today it still remains a highly sought-after classic. Provenance: Edward S. Curtis Studio, Seattle Private Collection(s) The Christopher G.

The Harriman Collection is unique and unprecedented. The Collection comprises the finest, most important set of Volumes from The North American Indian plus an extremely rare and unique collection of ephemera, books, and original photographs relating to Harriman, Curtis, The North American Indian and/or the Harriman Alaska Expedition. The Collection embodies the essence of Curtis’ thirty-year career and no similar collection exists, nor could it be replicated. The material that complements the volumes adds depth, richness, and context for the Volumes. Included are an extremely rare platinum portrait of Harriman by Curtis, and a vintage Curtis self-portrait from 1899, as well as over thirty rare or unique prints and documents and a complete original three volume set of The Harriman Alaska Expedition in a custom slipcase. For a discerning collector this represents an unparalleled opportunity. The Harriman Volumes The Edward H. Harriman Set of Volumes from The North American Indian is undoubtedly the most important Set of Curtis Volumes that may ever be available for private ownership. The overall condition is excellent, and the provenance is extraordinary. It is printed on the rarest, most expensive, and most desirable paper Curtis offered. Harriman, Curtis, J.P. Morgan, and President Theodore Roosevelt were the key individuals in the realization of the historic North American Indian project. Of those four, this is the only set in private hands and the only one that exists as a stand-alone set of Volumes. For anyone with a connoisseur level interest in Curtis, anthropology, fine books, photography or the west, this is the ne plus ultra. The text volumes are the distilled essence of Curtis’ entire career. They incorporate over 1,500 hand-printed illustrations, selected from over 40,000 negatives. Fully two-thirds of all the photographs in The North American Indian are in the Volumes. The Volumes also

contain thousands of pages of unique and invaluable anthropological information, as well as, extensive transcriptions of native languages and sacred music. The Volumes contain many classic, and “undiscovered” images. Additionally, there are genres of images found nowhere else (i.e. the Navaho Medicine Man series and hand-colored illustrations), as well as, maps, and drawings. Edward H. Harriman and Family Edward Henry Harriman (1848-1909), visionary and the greatest Railroad magnate of his era, rose from humble beginnings to become one of the wealthiest individuals in the world. After dropping out of grade school he enjoyed a meteoric rise on Wall Street before turning his energies to the railroads at age thirty-three. In 1899 he organized and financed the last major scientific expedition of the 19th century: The Harriman Alaskan Expedition. Curtis was selected as the official Expedition photographer. This was a quintessential step in Curtis’ career as he met and worked with many of the greatest scientific luminaries of his day, including George Bird Grinnell. His trip with Grinnell to Montana in 1900, to live with and photograph the Blackfeet and Piegan, was the watershed experience of Curtis’ career and began, in earnest, the project that consumed him for the next thirty years: The North American Indian. Thus, but for his inclusion in Harriman’s Alaska Expedition Curtis may never have envisioned or created The North American Indian. After Harriman’s death, Mary W. Harriman, the sole heir to his fortune became a major philanthropist, instrumental in a wide variety of causes. Upon her death, the Harriman Set of Volumes passed to the Mary W. Harriman Foundation. Over the years the complimentary Portfolios were dispersed. Harriman’s son, Averell, became Ambassador to the Soviet Union and Britain, the Secretary of Commerce, and Governor of New York. The family had a dramatic and positive impact on the world, a legacy which continues today.

BEATRICE MANDELMAN ESTATE

“How does one relate to this vast, vast emptiness of the landscape? One can only feel very humble. How does one dare to take that experience and put it into expression? That’s the real mystery of it”. — Beatrice Mandelman

255 BEATRICE MANDELMAN (1912–1998) New York No. 109, ca. 1995 acrylic on canvas 40 x 60 in. (101.60 x 152.40 cm.) signed lower right: Mandelman Provenance: The Artist The Estate of Beatrice Mandelman 203 Fine Art, Taos, New Mexico $9,000 – $13,000

Beatrice Mandelman’s contributions to Modernism are incalculable, not only in application of her own unique and prolific vision, but in her dispersal of the movement’s ideas and relevance outside of the vanguard contexts of New York City in the 1940s and 50s. ‘Bea’ was a dedicated fine artist from an early age. At just twelve she enrolled in classes at the nearby Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, embarking on serious formal artistic training that would last nearly two decades. After continued studies at Rutgers University, she enrolled at the Art Students League where she worked under such luminary professors as John Sloan. It was here in New York City where she met her future husband Louis Ribak, and became associated with the confluence of preeminent abstract expressionist artists including Jackson Pollock, Stuart Davis and Willem De Kooning. Their collective workshops and lively exchanges blossomed into the 1950’s America-style painting that took the art world by force and would define Modern Art as we know it today. Beatrice devoted herself to pushing the boundaries of non-representational painting for the rest of her life, applying her talent first to the bustling metropolis and then to the expansive landscape of Northern New Mexico. At the encouragement of John Sloan, Beatrice first travelled to Santa Fe in 1941, and just three years later she and Louis would move permanently to Taos. Coming off major shows at the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Gallery of Art, she decided to escape the political and physical confines of the city and exhibition circuit for the freedoms of the high desert, where she could focus on her work in a beautiful mountain setting. Bringing a taste of the progressive to the established and sophisticated art colony, Bea and Louis became the center of a tight-knit group including the likes of Agnes Martin, Emil Bisttram, Andrew Dasburg and Edward Corbett who would become known as the ‘Taos Moderns’. From New York to New Mexico, Bea befriended and influenced many artists including Alice Neel, Arshile Gorky, and Dorothy Brett, and remains remarkably undervalued in comparison. Her friend Louise Nevelson warned her that an artist couldn’t afford to leave Manhattan. For Beatrice, despite being removed from the center of the Modern art world, this period resulted in her most mature work of profound introspection, and demonstrates the movement’s universality in its application to bridge different cultures and time periods.

Peter Miller, born Henrietta Myers, was an American painter who was well known in New York art circles in the mid20th century. She exhibited at the legendary Julien Levy gallery, where she showed along with leading surrealists and modernists of the day such as Max Ernst, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo and Arshile Gorky. However, a retrospective at the Peyton Wright gallery earlier this fall — accompanied by a new monograph from Francis Naumann celebrating Miller’s life and work — was titled “Forgotten Woman of American Modernism.” This was likely due mainly to her gender and the fact that her financial independence afforded her the luxury of not having to sell paintings to survive. Nevertheless, she is finally getting the recognition she so deserves. Married to the sculptor C. Earle Miller, the couple traveled to New Mexico in the 1930s, and bought property near the Otowi Bridge where they became friendly with many of the inhabitants of the San Ildefonso pueblo nearby. Miller was strongly influenced by the Spanish painter Joan Miro but her affinity for the symbols and indigenous culture of the Southwest is clearly synthesized in her work. When Miller passed away in 1996, she gave the land to the neighboring pueblo.

Acknowledged as a pioneer among American Indian artists, Charles Loloma was a man of irrepressible creative energy. Although he is best known for his jewelry, he explored many other media, including painting, murals, printmaking, pottery, and bronze castings. Throughout his career he sought to create beauty for its own sake and sought to direct others to view beauty in all things. N. Scott Momaday wrote, “Charles Loloma was a Hopi man. The sacred landscape of his life and death is the ancient world of Hopi; … He was the definition of the word, Native.” When Loloma shifted his attention to working in jewelry in the 1950s, his experiments with form, material and color literally revolutionized the public concept of Indian jewelry. He was unfettered by strict traditional approach and developed a unique concept of design that combines elements of his Hopi background with a less tangible, contemporary sense of aesthetics. He traveled and exhibited all over the United States, most famously in Europe, where he thrilled the Parisian fashion and design world of the early 60s, as well as Japan, Korea, and Egypt. He was intimate with the most highly identified Native artists: Fritz Scholder, Allan Houser, and a very young Kevin Red Star among them. This special selection of artworks that remained in his personal collection with his wife Georgia, are a glimpse into the vision and passion of the early heady days, the artworks and artists who both created them and inspired Charles Loloma.

Well-known philanthropists Duane and Jody Shrontz first met John Nieto at the John Cacciola Gallery in Soho, New York where he had solo exhibitions from 1983-1996. They reportedly ‘fell head over heels’ for John’s work, bought their very first painting at this show, and went out for dinner that night. It was the beginning of a strong, lifelong friendship between John and his wife Renay with Duane and Jody. The four of them loved working together to support community projects and found ways to both showcase Nieto’s work and raise money for meaningful organizations and nonprofits. They all had a strong commitment to provide opportunities and education for underserved and underrepresented people.

320 GILBERT DAVIS MUNGER (1837–1903) Mount Tamalpais with a View of San Francisco Bay, CA (A Glimpse of the Pacific), ca. 1870 oil on canvas 24 x 42 in. (60.96 x 106.68 cm.) A second-generation Hudson River School painter, Gilbert Munger grew up in Madison, Connecticut. When he was thirteen, his parents apprenticed him to the engraver William H. Dougal, who worked for the Smithsonian. Munger moved to Washington, DC, in 1850 and remained with Dougal for ten years, mastering the art of engraving and producing plates for publication in government reports. In Washington, Munger encountered a number of painters of the Old West including John Mix Stanley, with whom he became friendly. Inspired by their careers, Munger began to study painting independently in his free time and was soon intent on pursuing a career as an artist. The Civil War delayed his plans: Munger was employed by the Union Army in Washington where he worked on the city’s defenses. In 1866, however, he moved to New York City, established a studio in Manhattan, and began to exhibit at the National Academy of Design that year.Still fascinated by the west, Munger finally traveled there in 1869. He joined Clarence King’s Geological Exploration of the 40th Parallel and visited the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains in Utah and the Cascades in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington. He returned west in 1872 and 1873, visiting Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming, and again in the summer of 1875. Although now traveling independently, Munger was still producing drawings and paintings for King on the promise of having a number of his works reproduced as chromolithographs in Systematic Geology, which was eventually published in 1878 with ten of Munger’s studies. During these years, Munger established San Francisco his home base where, along with Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Hill, he quickly became one of the premier California artists. Munger spent much of the second half of his career abroad. He moved to London in 1877, bringing his western sketchbooks with him. These sketches served as the bases for numerous American scenes created for his new European market and sold with great success. In 1886, Munger moved again, this time to Paris. His time in France had a significant influence on his style as his realistic Hudson River School landscapes gave way to softer, brushier compositions in line with the Barbizon School. These paintings were well received and Munger was widely recognized for his efforts. He was honored with numerous awards, including the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and his works were avidly collected by institutions including the Royal Academy and the Luxembourg Gallery. Munger returned to the United States in 1893 but was unable to transfer his European success back to the United States. He settled again in Washington, DC, where he continued to paint, but he died in relative obscurity in 1903. Munger completed the present painting around 1870 during his years spent in San Francisco. It has been suggested that the scene depicts a view from the top of Mt. Tamalpais, a prominent peak in Marin County just north of San Francisco. It is undoubtedly a view north along the Pacific coast taken the San Francisco Bay area. A letter of authenticity from Alfred C. Harrison Jr. accompanies this work.

322 THOMAS MORAN (1837–1926) Baby Glacier, 5 Miles Below ‘Big Canyon,’ Stickeen River, Alaska, June 17, 1895 carbon pencil and ink on coquille-surfaced paper 6 ⅝ x 4 ½ in. (16.83 x 11.43 cm.) initialed lower left: TM. A native of England, Thomas Moran immigrated to Philadelphia with his family in 1844. His first artistic training was an an apprentice to a wood engraver. He returned to Europe in the 1860s, visiting his native England, and later in the decade, Italy. In 1871, he accompanied the geologist Ferdinand Hayden on his survey expedition of the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. During the rest of his life, he traveled extensively, often spending time in the American West and Southwest.This original drawing was one of four illustrations that Moran contributed to a travelogue by W. H. Bell that appeared in the popular periodical Scribner’s in April of 1879. It is reproduced on page 806 of the article. Moran used a carbon pencil, which would not smudge as easily as graphite, and paper with a pebbled texture, to create an instant halftone effect. Bell relayed a traveler’s exploratory account of taking a steamboat up the Stickeen River from Fort Wrangell in Alaska and passing into Glenora in British Columbia, Canada, awed by the magnificent glaciers that dominated the landscape along the way. The passengers on the boat docked at a landing one night and were allowed to disembark the next morning to hike closer for a view of the imposing “ice mountain” or Great Cañon, the largest glacier along the route. Note how small the boat itself appears; Moran’s drawing eloquently captured how dwarfed the passengers must have felt by the towering ice walls that surrounded them. The famed naturalist John Muir visited Alaska for the first time the same year this article appeared, which became the inspiration for his well-known book, “Travels in Alaska.” Provenance: Private Collection, Wyoming Private Collection, Arizona Literature: W.

In 1962 he opened his first Shakey’s Pizza Parlor in Wichita, Kansas. More followed from Ohio to Arizona. In the 60’s and 70s he and his wife, Dee, travelled so frequently to New Mexico, eventually moving there in the 80s, that Santa Fe and Taos came to feel like second homes to their two children. They first admired and then came to be avid collectors of Indian and Western art. But one painting hung most prominently wherever they lived: Gordon Snidow’s “Vince”. Always in the room where family would gather for holidays and guests were entertained, it saw their kids grow to adulthood and watched him and his beloved wife of 57 years grow into old age. With both the painting and him named “Vince” some would mistakenly think it was him at a younger age and when learning it wasn’t joke that if it had been named anything else he never would have been drawn to it. Who knows, perhaps. But for sure their home would never have felt like their home if it wasn’t there. Here’s hoping “Vince” finds another loving home in which to be cherished.” — James Wells, 2021 Provenance: The Artist The Collection of Richard Vincent Wells Private Collection, New Mexico $30,000 – $50,000

ERBE / “Western Album,” / 52” x 69” o/c / Gary T. Erbe Gary T. Erbe, a self-taught painter, was born in 1944 in Union City, New Jersey, where he maintained his studio from 1972 until 2006. Unable to attend art school, he worked as an engraver from 1965 until 1970 to support himself and his family, painting at nights and weekends to develop his skills. In 1967, Erbe discovered trompe l’oeil painting and its masters. Two years later, Erbe conceived a way of painting that would be a contemporary departure from the 19th Century Trompe l’oeil masters by freeing objects from their natural surroundings via the illusion of levitation and through the juxtaposition of objects that have no relationship. Erbe’s work combines flat space forms that are exaggerated and enhanced by shadow, light and color. The result is pure three-dimensional illusion. While there are and will always be elements of Trompe l’oeil in his work, he has less of an interest in fooling the eye in favor of stimulating the mind. In 1970, Erbe coined the term “Levitational Realism” and decided to pursue his art full-time. Since 1970, Erbe has exhibited extensively, with solo exhibitions at museums and galleries throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe. His works are in the permanent collections of numerous public institutions including The Phillips Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Terra Foundation for American Art, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Colby College Museum of Art, Brandywine River Museum, The Brinton Museum, Montclair Art Museum, The Heckscher Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, The Butler Institute of American Art, and the Reading Public Museum, amongst others. Erbe has garnered many awards and honors over the years including six Gold Medals at The Allied Artists of America Annual Exhibitions, the Medal for Lifetime Achievement in American Art from The Butler Institute of American Art, and the Salmagundi Club Medal of Honor. He also has received the Gold Medal from The National Museum of Sports, the First Prize Award from The National Arts Club, Gold Medal of Honor from Audubon Artists, and First Prize from The Peto Museum, among others. Erbe was honored with a 25-year traveling retrospective in 1995 and a 40-year traveling retrospective in 2010. The Butler Institute of American Art, OH, has published a scholarly book on Erbe’s art and life titled Footprints: The Art and Life of Gary Erbe in conjunction with a 50-year retrospective exhibition which commenced in 2017 and traveled to four venues. Currently, Erbe maintains his studio in Nutley, NJ and actively continues to paint.

407 JUAN CARLOS DEL VALLE (Mexican, b. 1975) You Are Loved (Remember Me), 2019 oil on canvas 16 x 20 in. (40.64 x 50.80 cm.) inscribed verso: PINTO: JUAN CARLOS DEL VALLE / -MEXICO- / 14-IV-2019 / 40x50cm / “YOU ARE LOVED” / (REMEMBER ME) After traveling to Albuquerque in 2019, Del Valle was captivated by the mysticism of its rusty landscapes and blue skies. When talking to a local woman about the spiritual quality that seems to palpitate within New Mexican geography, history and people, she told him, “You either get it or you don’t”. You Are Loved (Remember Me), is part of a series of paintings the artist developed right after that trip in which he continued to explore in depth the notion of the cyclic journey of life and death, the return to the original source.

Through his food portraits, Juan Carlos del Valle explores deep questions about human nature and his Cotton Candy suggests a reflection on the sweetness and ephemerality of life itself.

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE The following Terms and Conditions of Sale are the Santa Fe Art Auction Limited Co.’s (“Santa Fe Art Auction”) and its agents’ and consignors’ entire agreement with the prospective bidders, bidders and buyers relative to the lots listed in this catalogue. The lots will be offered by the Santa Fe Art Auction as agent for the consignors, unless the catalogue indicates otherwise. 1. The Santa Fe Art Auction operates as an agent of the seller only. It is not responsible in the event any buyer or seller at the auction fails to live up to their respective agreements, including failure of the seller to deliver any property to buyers. The Santa Fe Art Auction assumes no risk, liability, or responsibility beyond the limited warranty contained herein. (a) All property is sold “AS IS.” There are no representations or warranties that extend beyond these Terms and Conditions of Sale. All works shall be available for examination prior to the sale. The Santa Fe Art Auction, and its agents and consignors, make no representations or warranties as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, correctness of the catalogue or description, including, but not limited to, the authenticity, the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, dates, exhibitions, literary or historical relevance of any property, and, no statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Nor are there any representations and warranties, express or implied, as to whether the purchaser acquires any copyrights, including, but not limited to, any reproduction rights in any property. Contents of this catalogue are subject to change or supplementation before or during the sale, including the sale of any lot. 2. Prospective bidders should inspect the lots before bidding to determine condition, size and whether or not the lot has been repaired or restored and to investigate all other matters relating to the lot that is of material importance to the prospective bidder. 3. A buyer’s premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. If paying by cash or check, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer’s premium of 20% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including $1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000, plus any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges. The buyer’s premium is calculated separately for each lot. If paying by credit card, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer’s premium of 23% of the final bid price for each lot up to and including $1,000,000, and 15% of the excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000, plus any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges. 4. Unless exempted by law, the Buyer will be required to pay all applicable state and local sales, gross receipts, and compensation tax. Proof of exemption in the form of a current Non-Taxable Transaction Certificate must be provided at registration. In the event of deliveries outside the state, it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to pay any applicable compensating use tax of another state on the total purchase price. • Why Santa Fe Art Auction Collects Sales Tax: New Mexico requires a seller of goods to register with the New Mexico Department of Taxation and Revenue and collect and remit sales tax if the seller maintains a presence within the state. More specifically, tax laws require an auction house, like Santa Fe Art Auction, with a presence in New Mexico, to register as a sales tax collector, and remit sales tax collected to the state. Unless exempted, New Mexico sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property picked up or delivered in New Mexico, regardless of the state or country in which the purchaser resides or does business. • Since the 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. ruling, most US states have implemented legislation requiring remote sellers to collect sales tax when the total dollar value of purchases sent to that state exceeds a set threshold, known as an economic nexus. Each state sets its own threshold or nexus. Like all other remote sellers, Santa Fe Art Auction is now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from buyers in any state when the total dollar value of purchases sent to that state creates a nexus. When this occurs, you will see sales tax included on your invoice. The sales tax rate is determined by the state, county, and city where purchases are shipped. As of October 2021, SFAA has met the nexus in the following states: Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Washington, Illinois, Florida, New York and Massachusetts. However, any purchases made in person and/or picked up in person, are subject to applicable New Mexico sales tax instead. • Certain Exemptions: New Mexico allows for specified exemptions to its sales tax. For example, a registered re-seller such as a registered art dealer may purchase without incurring a tax liability, and Santa Fe Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from such re-seller. As sales tax laws vary from state to state, Santa Fe Art Auction recommends that clients with questions regarding the application of sales or use taxes to property purchased at auction seek tax advice from their local tax advisors. 5. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or during the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. 6. Except as may be announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalogue. 7. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the Buyer, subject to reserves. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Santa Fe Art Auction’s sale record shall be final and conclusive. The Santa Fe Art Auction, in its discretion, may execute orders or absentee bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at the auction; however, the Santa Fe Art Auction is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith. 8. If the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, determines that any bid is below the reserve of the lot, he or she may reject the same and withdraw the lot from sale, and, if having acknowledged an opening or other bid, the auctioneer decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he or she may reject the advance. 9. On the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel, the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer assumes full risk and responsibility for the offered lot, subject to all of the Terms and Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and is immediately obligated to pay the full purchase price. All sales are final and there shall be no exchanges or returns. Payment shall be made by cash, check or wire transfer. As set forth in paragraph 3, above, for an additional percentage Santa Fe Art Auction will also accept credit cards as a form of payment. (Visa and MasterCard only). In addition to other remedies available to Santa Fe Art Auction by law, we reserve the right to impose, from the date of sale, a late charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) of the total purchase price, if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein.

The Buyer of each lot agrees that each lot is unique and that Santa Fe Art Auction, in its sole discretion, shall not be required to sell or otherwise seek to mitigate damages should such Buyer fail to pay the total purchase price. Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until the Santa Fe Art Auction shall have collected good funds. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to hold all purchases pending collection of the total purchase price, together with all additional fees, charges and expenses incurred pursuant to these Terms and Conditions of Sale. 10. All lots (unless otherwise indicated by the letters “nr”) are subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price acceptable to the consignor. The Santa Fe Art Auction, or its agents or consignors, may implement such reserve by opening the bidding or they or either of them may bid up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or may bid in response to other bidders. In instances where the Santa Fe Art Auction has an interest in the lot, it may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. 11. Santa Fe Art Auction is the owner of images of each lot offered for sale and may use such images for its own archival purposes, as well as for advertising and publicity in connection with this or future sales by the Santa Fe Art Auction. 12. These Terms and Conditions of Sale, together with the parties’ respective rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to New Mexico’s rules concerning conflicts of laws. 13. Prospective bidders, bidders and Buyers agree that, in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to a sale of any lot, the party asserting such controversy or claim shall provide written notice thereof to the other party; that any such controversy or claim not settled within fourteen (14) days of delivery of notice by the other party, including, without limitation, any controversy or claim arising from, or relating to, the sale of any lot or any of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, including the terms of this paragraph, the sole and exclusive means for resolving the dispute shall be by binding arbitration in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Said arbitration shall be confidential and shall be pursuant to the New Mexico Uniform Arbitration Act, shall be conducted before a single arbitrator, and shall otherwise be guided by the then extant New Mexico Rules of Arbitration. This Agreement is deemed made in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is subject to the internal substantive law of the State of New Mexico without regard to conflicts of laws. The award of the arbitrator shall be final, and may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear that party’s own costs of arbitration and attorney’s fees. 14. The Santa Fe Art Auction is pleased to present to art purchasers shipping options which are explained in the shipping form enclosed in this catalogue. If you misplace this form, call or send an email and another form will be provided. 15. Results are posted on the Santa Fe Art Auction web site and, upon request, may be sent to Buyers, catalogue subscribers, absentee and phone bidders, and other registered bidders. 16. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 17. These Terms and Conditions are not assignable by any buyer without the prior written consent of the Santa Fe Art Auction. However, these Terms and Conditions are binding on the buyer’s successors, assigns and representatives. 18. No act, omission or delay by the Santa Fe Art Auction shall be deemed a waiver of its rights and remedies under these Terms and Conditions. 19. The Santa Fe Art Auction shall use reasonable efforts to contact prospective buyers who have made prior arrangements to place telephone bids in order for these buyers to participate in the auction. The Santa Fe Art Auction shall not be liable for its failure to contact said bidders or for any errors or omissions made in connection with telephone bids since telephone bids are offered as a free service that is undertaken subject to the other commitments of Santa Fe Art Auction during the sale. 20. Santa Fe Art Auction shall use reasonable efforts to execute online bids in order for online buyers to participate in the auction. Online bidding is provided as an alternative bidding service and should not be considered a replacement for bidding in the room. Santa Fe Art Auction encourages its buyers to weigh the advantages and limitations of live online bidding when deciding whether to bid in the room or online. Santa Fe Art Auction shall not be liable for any errors or omissions made in connection with online bids or the online bidding process. Although Santa Fe Art Auction will do everything in its power to assure all online bids are recognized, Santa Fe Art Auction has no way of guaranteeing that the internet and the online bidding process will be free from technical malfunctions. In the event of a tie between an online bid and a “room” bid, the “room” bid generally will take precedence. “Room” bids include those bids taken from the live auction room(s), telephones, absentee bidders, or bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. Santa Fe Art Auction will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of connection on Santa Fe Art Auction’s or on the Buyer’s end, (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software, and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with a Buyer’s internet connection, computer or system.
