O’Neil Printing joins the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) in being an international organization whose mission is to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. The intent of the FSC system is to eliminate the destruction to forest ecosystems that often accompanies logging, as well as unlawful logging in undesignated forests.

Through this system, the forests from which the trees are harvested, the logging companies, the paper mills, the paper vendors and the printers all become a “link” in the “chain of custody” insuring that the rules set forth by the FSC are strictly adhered to. Each “link” must go through the process of being certified, and will be subject to audit at any given time to insure that the “chain of custody” is not broken.

The Santa Fe Art Auction is pleased to offer a selection of works from the Estate of Rollin W. King in our 2015 Sale.

Rollin W. King was an amazing entrepreneur who famously came up with the idea and founded Southwest Airlines, the world’s most successful airline. His idea for better service and low cost air travel was revolutionary, and changed air travel worldwide forever.

He was the Founder, first Chairman, and President of Southwest Airlines Co. He remained a Director and an Executive Committee member from the formation of the company until he retired from the Board after 40 years, at the age of 75.

After leaving the management of the airline Mr. King engaged in other business ventures as well as led executive education seminars. He did consulting as a principal of Rollin King Associates until his retirement in 1995.

Subsequently he was principally engaged in private investing and art collecting.

Rollin King had a home in Santa Fe for more than 40 years and loved his time there. He was involved in the arts and the community through his support and time spent with a variety of school and art organizations. He built a remarkable art collection over the years represented by many Santa Fe and Taos artists. When not looking for new art he spent time with friends and family fishing, golfing and dining.

Mr. King had a passion for hunting and fishing, which he shared with his children and grandchildren. He loved Africa and went on more than 20 safaris during which he enjoyed sitting around the fire listening to or telling stories with family and friends.

He was a member of Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas, The Old Baldy Club in Saratoga, Wyoming; and Eldorado Country Club in Indian Wells, California, and served on the Board of Visitors for UT Southwestern University Hospitals and Clinics. He is a former member of Little Sandy Hunting and Fishing Club and the Chevaliers du Tastevin. At various times, he was a trustee of the Dallas Symphony, St. John’s College of Annapolis, Maryland and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Dallas Museum of Art for which he served on the Executive Committee. He also was President of the Board of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the College of Santa Fe. He was an Honorary Life Member of the Board of Directors of the School of American Research in Santa Fe and the Southwest Outward Bound School.

Rollin King graduated from Shaker Heights High School in Ohio and received his BA from Case Western Reserve and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

13 GERARD CURTIS DELANO (1890-1972) In the Shadow of the Canyon oil on canvas 24 x 28 inches signed lower left: © Delano inscribed, titled and signed verso: 24 x 28 / In the Shadow of the Canyon / Painted & Copyright / by / Gerard Curtis Delano Gerard Curtis Delano was born in Massachusetts, to a family that traced its ancestry in America back to the early 17th century. As a young boy, Delano showed talent at drawing cowboys, Indians, horses, and storybook adventures, but his family was not enthusiastic about his ambitions for a career in the arts. They suggested that he consider becoming an architect, which he initially pursued by working as a carpenter’s apprentice. Regardless, he began his art studies in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and by 1910 was studying at the Art Students League in New York under George Bridgman. Delano also studied with Dean Cornwell, Harvey Dunn, and N. C. Wyeth at the Grand Central School of Art. In 1919, shortly after his release from service in the U.S. Navy, Delano had a chance to “go west,” and took a job at a ranch in Colorado. It was after his return to New York City in 1923 for further study at the Art Students League that he sold his first western cover to Ace-High Magazine. This led to work with other publications, and soon he was firmly launched as a cover artist and illustrator for Ace-High, Western Story, Adventure, Cowboy Stories, Ranch Romances, Colliers, and others.

Despite his initial success, with the advent of the Great Depression his career as a commercial artist began to falter. Delano ended up “flat broke,” but ultimately considered this to be “the finest thing that ever happened to me.” Leaving the big city and the sorry states of his finances behind, he returned west to his homesteader’s cabin in Colorado in 1933, and began to consider his talent in a different light.

Delano continued to work as a commercial artist, but by 1940 he had decided to stake his future on producing paintings rather than illustrations. Delano visited Arizona and the Navajo Reservation in the fall of 1943, and was enraptured by the majestic beauty of the landscape and its native people. In the Navajo, as evidenced by paintings like In the Shadow of the Canyon, the artist found a proud and noble people that he wanted to convey on canvas; the Navajo and their unique environment became the dominant theme in Delano’s art and the inspiration for many of his most celebrated images.

21 JOSEPH HENRY SHARP (1859-1953) Spotted Rabbit oil on canvas 8 x 6 inches signed lower right: JHSHARP Joseph Henry Sharp was born in Bridgeport, Ohio, in 1859 and by thirteen was in Cincinnati working in a nail factory to earn money to take art classes. After ten years of study in Cincinnati, Sharp took his first trip to Europe in 1881, to study in Antwerp and Belgium for a year. In 1886, Sharp returned to Europe to study at the Royal Academy in Munich, with Frank Duveneck in Italy and at the Académie Julian in Paris. Sharp’s first trip to Taos came in 1893 and he enthusiastically recommended it to his friends Blumenschein and Phillips who would arrive there in 1898. In 1902 Sharp established a residence in Crow Agency, Montana, where he would remain for the next eight years painting the Plains Indian tribes of the region. In 1910, Sharp moved permanently to Taos as the traditional Plains Indian culture of Montana was beginning to wane, and in Taos he found many available and enthusiastic models whom he befriended. He was one of the founding members of the Taos Society of Artists in 1915.

23 BERT GEER PHILLIPS (1868-1956) Indian Family in Wild Plums oil on canvas 16 x 20 inches signed lower left: PHilliPS Bert Phillips was born in Hudson, New York, in 1868, and was interested in art from an early age, moving to New York City at age sixteen where he studied at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design before heading to Europe in 1894, where he studied at the AcadĂŠmie Julian. While in Paris he befriended Joseph Sharp and Ernest Blumenschein who would be instrumental in getting Phillips to the west. It was with Blumenschein in 1898 that Phillips first went to the southwest and the iconic broken wagon wheel story laid the foundation for the formation of the Taos Society of Artists in 1915. Following his first encounter with Taos in 1898, Phillips remained there for the rest of his life where he found endless inspiration for the idyllic and agrarian images he painted of the Taos Indians, who in his art remain untouched and unchanged by time and the influence of the white man and instead are engaged in romantic and relaxing traditional pursuits.

29 THOMAS MORAN (1837-1926) Head of Yellowstone River, 1874 watercolor and graphite on paper 9 x 13 1/4 inches signed and dated lower left: TMoran / 1874 (with initials conjoined) The Yellowstone River flows northward through Yellowstone National Park in northwestern Wyoming and eastward across southern Montana into North Dakota where it empties into the Missouri River. Inside Yellowstone National Park, it flows into and out of Yellowstone Lake. It is a view of the river as it leaves the lake that Thomas Moran captures in his watercolor, Head of Yellowstone River.

Moran was the artist for Dr. F. V. Hayden’s Geological Survey that set out to find the source of the Yellowstone River in the summer of 1871. Earlier expeditions had tried to find the head of the river but had failed. Moran worked closely with the expedition’s photographer, William Henry Jackson, helping him set up his photographic equipment and suggesting shots. Moran made at least two pencil sketches of Yellowstone Lake, and his subsequent watercolors of the area were based upon his sketches as well as Jackson’s photographs.

Moran’s paintings of Yellowstone captured the beauty and wonder of the region, and along with Jackson’s photographs, helped to convince Congress to establish Yellowstone as the country’s and the world’s first National Park in 1872. In 1874, Louis Prang, a noted Boston publisher, commissioned Moran to paint a group of watercolors depicting Yellowstone and other Western locals the artist had visited to be reproduced as chromolithographs for a deluxe, limited-edition portfolio. Moran created Head of Yellowstone River for this portfolio. F. V. Hayden’s description of the scene accompanied the Prang reproduction: The river passes through a great variety of scenery, but at no point can it boast of more enchanting beauty than at its very head, near the magnificent lake of which it forms the outlet. Starting from the northwest extremity of the lake, it wanders in an aimless sort of way to the northward, with sluggish current more like a lake than a great stream, its waters teeming with flocks of geese and ducks. Beautiful islands spot its broad surface, and beyond its pine-fringed Shore the hazy outlines of distant mountains stand out boldly against the horizon.1 To complete the commission, as was his practice, Moran used sketches, photographs and memory to create the finished watercolor. There are similarities between Moran’s watercolor and Jackson’s photograph of the same title.2 Both are taken from the vantage point of the left bank looking out at a wide, slow river. Trees and bushes line the shore and mountain ranges appear in the distance. Moran’s format is horizontal, however, where Jackson’s is vertical. Moran eliminates some of the foreground found in Jackson’s photograph and cuts off the sky just above the trees on the left. Moran was a master of color and equally adept with both oil and watercolor. In his composition, he includes the sun low in the horizon and suffuses the upper sky with salmons and pinks.

William Henry Jackson noted in later years that while in Yellowstone, what excited Moran “. . . was the landscape effects that included the lake as seen from its outlet, with its dots of wooded islands and background of the Absarokas.”3 And this is precisely the scene that Moran captures in Head of Yellowstone River. The splendor of the river and its outlet evidently left an impression on the artist: he had painted the scene earlier, in 1872,4 and he created an etching of the same spot in 1878-79.5 His excitement for the area is felt in all his depictions. That it had been a goal of the 1871 Hayden expedition to locate this outlet and that goal had been achieved would have only added to Moran’s excitement. His watercolor was at once a faithful and beautiful depiction of the head of the Yellowstone River.

41 VICTOR HIGGINS (1884-1949) Red Mountains oil on canvas 19 x 27 inches signed lower right: VICTOR HIGGINS Victor Higgins was born in Shelbyville, Indiana, and moved to Chicago at the age of fifteen after learning about the newly opened Art Institute of Chicago from a travelling sign painter. Following ten years of study in Chicago, Higgins went to New York in 1911, where he studied with Robert Henri’s Ashcan School and then later that year went to Europe to study in London, Paris and Munich. In 1913, Higgins returned to Chicago and was able to view the reduced format Armory Show, which introduced the young artist to modernist painting. In 1914, at the urging of his patron Mayor Carter Harrison, Higgins made his first trip to Taos and immediately established his residency there painting the unchanged lifestyle of the Pueblo Indians of the region. In 1917, Higgins was invited to join the Taos Society of Artists, and remained with the group until they disbanded in 1927; however, he was not one of the most active participants and in fact by 1920 was spending more and more time with the more progressive artists Andrew Dasburg and Kenneth Adams. Following the dissolving of the Taos Society of Artists Higgins turned his focus almost completely to the depiction of cubist forms and concentrated primarily on portraying the pattern evident in his surroundings.

In Red Mountains, Higgins explores this interest in cubism and pattern through the representation of the distinct geological strata present in so many mountains of the northern New Mexico region.

70 FRANK TENNEY JOHNSON (1874-1939) California’s First Theatre oil on canvas 18 1/2 x 28 1/4 inches signed lower left: F. Tenney Johnson.

Frank Tenney Johnson was born near the Oregon Trail in Pottawatamie County, Iowa, and as a boy he was able to see stagecoaches and covered wagons heading west. When Johnson was ten years old, his family moved to Milwaukee, where he studied art with F.W. Heine whose specialty was painting horses. Johnson learned this skill from him and never gave up his study of the horse, striving to portray the animal with complete accuracy. Johnson then studied with Richard Lorenz, a member of the Society of Western Painters. Not only a talented teacher, Lorenz also passed on a great enthusiasm and love for the West to his pupil.

A small inheritance enabled Johnson to study at the Art Students League in New York City for five months in 1895. While there he worked with John Henry Twachtman. Back in Milwaukee he worked as a free lance illustrator to save enough money to return to New York with his wife in 1902. This second time to the city Johnson studied with William Merritt Chase and Robert Henri.

In 1904 Field and Stream sent Johnson to the Rockies and the Southwest. Dr. Harold McCracken, in his excellent book on Johnson, says that this trip was the single most important event in his artistic career. It was on this journey that Johnson established his distinctive style and discovered the subject matter on which he would draw throughout his life. One of the most important things he learned on this first trip west was to appreciate the quality of the western sky by day and by night. He made notes of the subtle differences not only in the sky but in the landscape and rocks in the moonlight. He later developed the skill of painting night scenes to such a degree that he became quite famous for these pictures.

50

Field and Stream was well satisfied with Johnson’s work and his skills as an illustrator became more in demand. He took more trips west and finally settled in California.

Around 1919, his easel paintings began to outsell his illustrations, and there were increasing numbers of sales and commissions, including murals in a famous Los Angeles movie palace, the Cathay Circle Theatre. California’s First Theatre was likely executed during this fertile time in Johnson’s career.

Johnson was a fluent painter who worked swiftly using brush, palette knife or finger to achieve the desired texture. In order to better render the luminosity of a night sky, he studied the work of Maxfield Parrish extensively, whose depictions of the phenomenon were famous. Johnson developed a special style of underpainting to give his night skies the quality of light which he so admired in nature.

Johnson’s process demanded that he work quickly but carefully so as not to lose the composition. His draftsmanship is sure but never hard. His backgrounds are usually dark, with the central figures painted in lighter tones so that they stand out clearly, techniques that are employed in California’s First Theatre.

Upon his arrival he was not yet an artist, but a formally trained engineer, however he was immediately drawn into the rich culture and heritage of Santa Fe and worked in a variety of media throughout his career. A member of the Cinco Pintores and also one of the leading figures in the Santa Fe Art Colony, Shuster also inaugurated and created Zozobra, Old Man Gloom, who remains an icon of Santa Fe today and is burned every year during Fiestas. Although he experimented with abstraction, Shuster remained primarily devoted to realist art and his Indian-themed murals at the Fine Arts Museum in Santa Fe remain in situ today.

91 G. HARVEY (b. 1933) Fording at Dusk, 1976 oil on canvas 30 x 48 1/2 inches signed and dated lower right: G. Harvey­­— / 1976 © Gerald Harvey Jones, better known as G. Harvey, was born in south-central Texas in 1933 into a family steeped in the culture of the American cowboy. After graduating from North Texas State University and following a brief tenure at the University of Texas at Austin, Harvey abandoned a promising teaching career in order to paint full-time. Inspired by his grandfather’s tales of ranch and frontier life, and informed by his own firsthand experiences, Harvey adopted the history, traditions and scenic beauty of the West as the dominant theme in his art. His atmospheric renderings of Texas cow camps and romanticized Hill Country cattle drives subsequently earned him a reputation as one of the foremost chroniclers of an authentic American past. He is the recipient of countless honors, including the esteemed New Masters Award of the American Artists Professional League (1965), numerous public and private commissions, and is the subject of several books and solo exhibitions. Betraying a “soft focus” delineation of forms and virtuoso handling of light, Fording at Dusk (1976) features the hallmarks of Harvey’s best-known images, while demonstrating the artist’s profound sensitivity to the role of the cowboy in the forging of an American national identity.

103 CHARLES M. RUSSELL (1864-1926) Buffalo Hunt, 1901 watercolor on paper 8 3/4 x 17 inches initialed and dated lower left: CMR (with artist’s cipher) / 1901 Born into an affluent St. Louis family, Russell went to Montana at the age of fifteen, first working on a sheep ranch and then working as a cowboy for several outfits. It was an outdoor life, including hunting, fishing and embracing the wilderness – a life that gave him enormous knowledge of and love for the landscape, dress, people and customs of the West. In 1892 he moved to Great Falls, Montana and from then on he was determined to work as a professional, full-time artist. With an unparalleled ability to vividly depict a place and way of life which was already then quickly disappearing, his work has been likened to “a great window opening on the past.”

By the time Russell had settled in Montana, the Indian settlements there (Blackfoot, Arapaho, Kootenai and Crow tribes) were receding due to the growing ranches and cattle business. Russell spent time with one tribe – the Bloods – hunting with them and learning their language, legends and customs – both for friendship and with an artistic intent.

His reverence for the Indians whom he described as “the only real American” translated into his art.

Russell had a number of favorite subjects, variations of which he would depict many times over, both on canvas and in bronze. The one he apparently enjoyed more than any other was single or small groups of Indians hunting buffalo. When the horse was introduced to the Indians in the eighteenth century, the buffalo became a major source of food and clothing, much of what they required in the way of necessities. As a result, the buffalo was prized as the Indian’s greatest resource, the most hunted and also the most venerated prey. In these works, Russell pays homage to a cultural approach far different than the indiscriminate and casual recreational slaughter of the buffalo practiced by white hunters.

Throughout his career, Russell’s depiction of the buffalo took many forms, from rapid pencil sketches to carefully thought-out oil paintings. For Russell, as for many other western artists, the extinction of the buffalo in the late nineteenth century came to symbolize the poignant passing of the Old West and a treasured way of life. In much the same way that many of his compositions show compassion for the difficulties of the American Indian, Buffalo Hunt is indicative of the artist’s sympathy for these animals who once dominated the Plains.

Perhaps Peter Hassrick best described Russell’s commiseration with the plight of this animal: In any event, once the herds vanished, they, like the pre-reservation Indian, claimed a warm place in Russell’s heart. In his day he garnered the reputation as the best painter of the buffalo. His quiet, reserved portrayals . . . proved his skill as an animal painter while revealing the reverence he felt for these monarchs of the prairie. With such sympathy for and pride in these beasts, it is little wonder that the artist chose the buffalo skull as part of his monogram. (Hassrick, pg. 58) Another important and highly successful aspect of this action filled painting is Russell’s masterful handling of the unique and illusive Northern Plains light. The dusty ground is rendered in muted tans, yellows and greens. The low mountains in the background are a concentration of the same colors from his palette punctuated throughout with blues and purples, which he has painted with an extraordinary economy of means. In all, the light in this painting is an austere, brightened full-blown presence, as much a part of the Northern Plains landscape, a landscape he knew so well, as the ever-present rocks, dust and grasses.

According to oral history, the first owner of Buffalo Hunt, William Tannhauser, was a friend of the artist “and knew him well when they both lived in Montana.”

110 WINOLD REISS (1886-1953) Chief Medicine Boss Ribs, Blackfeet Medicine Man pastel, gouache and charcoal on paper mounted on board 52 x 30 inches signed lower right: WINOLD / REISS Fritz Winold Reiss, better known as Winold Reiss, was born in Karlsruhe, Germany. He was raised in the Black Forest, where he studied under his father, who painted landscapes. Reiss also studied with Franz von Stuck at the Royal Academy in Munich and with Julius Diez at the Art School in Munich.

Inspired by the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, Reiss came to the United States in 1913 expressly to paint the American Indian. Delayed slightly by World War I, Reiss began in 1919 to paint his collection of Indian portraits, including 81 for the Great Northern Railroad that were exhibited nationally and in Europe.

The Blackfeet, in particular, were the subjects of many book illustrations for which Reiss was commissioned. He spent so much time with them that he became a member of the tribe under the name “Beaver Child,” a reference to the intensity of his painting. Although known for his portraits, Reiss also painted landscapes, including the Grand Canyon.

In 1941, he was assistant professor of mural painting at New York University, and had constructed tens of murals depicting the Indian in theaters, restaurants such as Longchamps in New York City, hotels, clubs and the Cincinnati Union Terminal.

Some of these murals were done in glass mosaic.

Reiss spent his life portraying the West. When he died, the Blackfeet scattered his ashes at the foot of the Rockies.

111 LAVERNE NELSON BLACK (1887-1938) Taos Winter Morning oil on paper laid on board 14 1/2 x 18 inches signed lower left: LaVerne Nelson Black / Taos LaVerne Nelson Black was born in 1887 in Viola, Wisconsin, a small trading post in the Kickapoo Valley. As a child he taught himself to draw and would paint pictures of the Indians and their horses that would come through the trading post. Around 1900, Black moved with his family to Chicago and in 1906 enrolled in art classes at the Art Institute of Chicago where he studied until 1908, while also working as a newspaper illustrator. Due to declining health, Black moved with his family to the dry and arid climate of Taos, New Mexico in the 1920s. While in Taos, Black produced numerous paintings of the Indians of the region either on horseback or engaged in everyday activities. Painted in an impressionistic style with bold swaths of color, creating a spontaneous yet controlled feel, these works are some of the most celebrated and well-known works of his career.

115 VICTOR HIGGINS (1884-1949) November Evening, ca. 1940s oil on board 8 x 16 inches signed lower right: VICTOR HIGGINS (indistinctly) The present work is an example from Higgins’ series of oil paintings called “Little Gems,” created during the final years of his career. Having developed an intimate knowledge of the landscape of New Mexico, Higgins returned to some his favorite locations to execute these oils on board or Masonite, almost always horizontal in format and measuring 8 x 13 to 18 x 24 inches. Much admired for their deft handling of light and color and thick, impastoed surfaces, these works depict the Taos Valley and Rio Grande Canyon and were painted on the spot from the back of his vehicle. As described by his fellow Taos painter, Ernest Blumenschein, “In them was the best Higgins quality, a lyrical charm added to his lovely color… He always had, as most good artists, an instinct that guided his form structure… And he put all he had into this dozen of small canvases… All works of love: love of his simple subjects and of his craftsmanship.”1 Provenance: Private Collection, Los Angeles, California Collection of Rollin W.

116 THOMAS HART BENTON (1889-1975) The High Plains oil on panel 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches signed lower left: Benton Thomas Hart Benton was the leading exponent of Regionalism, a movement characterized by its celebration of rural American subject matter. Together with Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry, Benton was catapulted to fame in 1934 following the group’s first exhibition together titled American Painting Since Whistler at the Kansas City Art Institute in 1933. Born in Neosho, Missouri in 1889, Benton studied at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington and in 1907 at the Art Institute of Chicago, intending to become a newspaper illustrator. The following year he went to Paris where he enrolled in the Académie Julian and briefly experimented with Impressionist techniques. In 1911 Benton returned to this country and eventually went to New York.

He held a variety of jobs working as a commercial artist, a decorator of ceramics, and in 1914 as a set designer for a motionpicture studio then located in Fort Lee, New Jersey. From 1914 to 1918, Benton experimented with Synchromist style paintings, a style that depended to a great extent on color contrasts. In 1918, while in Norfolk, Virginia, where he was stationed with the Navy, Benton began to question the modernist ideas he had been exposed to in France. Shifting away from abstraction, Benton started to portray romanticized small town scenes, subject matter that reflected his belief that art should be accessible to the average person. Throughout the rest of his life, Benton continued to paint in the distinct regionalist manner he developed, which is identified by his bold use of color and undulating forms.

The High Plains is a focused study for a larger 1954 work titled The Plains, a tempera on board measuring 19 x 26 1/2 inches, which was sold at Christie’s in November of 2014 for $725,000.

124 E. MARTIN HENNINGS (1886-1956) Chili Peppers oil on panel 8 x 10 inches signed lower right: E.M.Hennings E. Martin Hennings was born to German immigrant parents in 1886 in New Jersey, and moved with his family to Chicago at two years old. An early visit to the Art Institute of Chicago solidified Hennings intention to become an artist, and he enrolled there after high school graduating with honors in 1904. Like so many of his contemporaries, Hennings then travelled to Europe and studied at the Munich Academy until he was forced to return to the states at the outbreak of World War I. In 1917, at the suggestion of his powerful Chicago patrons, Mayor Carter Harrison and meat magnate Oscar Mayer, Hennings made his first trip to Taos with the understanding they would acquire all works he completed while there. Hennings was immediately and profoundly affected by Taos, but did not return to permanently settle there until 1923. Upon his arrival he was immediately invited to join the Taos Society of Artists and remained an active member until the group disbanded in 1927. Known for his brilliant, sun-drenched landscapes rendered with thick and meticulous brushstrokes, Hennings works have a very tactile quality that seem to capture truly timeless environments.

131 E. MARTIN HENNINGS (1886-1956) Untitled (Deer and Aspens) oil on board 23 x 48 inches signed lower right: E.Martin Hennings One of the compositional motifs that E. Martin Hennings utilized time and time again in his paintings and graphic work was that of a sinuous array of aspen trees, often on a green hillside, and often set against a distant backdrop of mountains. The thin, white aspen trunks provided an organizing structure for compositions in which Hennings placed figures of Taos Indians on horseback or on foot, or, as in this case, a herd of grazing deer. The strongly horizontal orientation of Untitled (Deer and Aspens) and its bands of green grass, purple mountains, white clouds, and blue sky are balanced by the vertical thrust of the aspen trunks, into which Hennings has interwoven no less than a dozen does, stags, and fawns. The deer appear alert but peaceful: the foremost stag to the right of center looks directly at the viewer, but does not seem alarmed.

Leon Gaspard was born in Vitebsk, Russia, in 1882, to a very culturally well-rounded family that supported his interest in the arts. At a young age he was enrolled in an art class where he studied alongside Marc Chagall. Gaspard ultimately went to Paris to further his studies at the Académie Julian. While there he met and married a young woman from America, Evelyn Adell. In 1914, when World War I broke out, Gaspard fought with the French Aviation Corp and was wounded gravely. After two years of recovery he finally joined his wife in New York in 1916. This year also saw his first encounter with the Southwest on a trip to Santa Fe to visit Sheldon Parsons, however, he was ultimately drawn to the Taos pueblo, where he would permanently move in 1918. Gaspard’s work is recognized for the impressionist quality of his brushwork as well as his incredible use of color and his focus and attention to regional details, costumes and rituals, which is evident in works of both his native Russia as well as Taos.

157 ALBERT BIERSTADT (1830-1902) Mountain Scene, ca. 1870s oil on canvas 22 x 30 5/8 inches signed lower left: ABierstadt Albert Bierstadt was a master landscape painter who throughout a 40-year career, successfully created magnificent vistas in a realistic yet idealized style. In his lifetime, he traveled extensively through mountain ranges in North America and Europe, sketching and painting and producing a voluminous oeuvre of both real and imaginary scenes. The location depicted in Mountain Scene has not been identified and the artwork most likely falls into the latter category. The fact that it shares stylistic and compositional characteristics with paintings Bierstadt did of California’s Sierra Nevada range, however, suggests that the inspiration for the scene was the American West.

Bierstadt spent from July 1871 until October 1873 in California, spending much of that time exploring the Sierra Mountains, from Mount Whitney in the south to Lake Tahoe in the North. In August 1872, he joined Clarence King’s survey of the southern Sierra for more than three months, sketching, painting and making oil studies that would provide inspiration for the rest of his career.

Mountain Scene depicts a lake nestled among mountains in the midst of a passing storm. Bierstadt was a keen observer of light and he leads the viewer’s eye through his juxtaposition of light and shadow: both sides of the canvas are in shadow and the eye is naturally drawn to the brightly lit mountains in the center of the canvas. A circular break in the storm clouds reveals the peaks, and the eye follows this circular pattern of clouds around the canvas.

162 GEORGE BELLOWS (1882-1925) Santa Fe Canyon, 1917 oil on canvas 18 x 22 inches signed lower left: Geo. Bellows / [undecipherable] George Bellows was one of the most highly acclaimed American realist painters of the twentieth century. Known primarily for his depictions of New York, prize fighters and tenement children, Bellows was instrumental in the shift of American art into the modern era. Bellows arrived in New York in 1904, and immediately began studying with Robert Henri, who would remain influential to Bellows throughout his career, at the New York School of Art. In 1909, Bellows was the youngest artist to ever receive the honor of being elected as an Associate member of the National Academy of Design, following his receipt of a prize in their annual exhibition in 1908. Additionally, Bellows was one of the twenty-five members of the Association of American Painters & Sculptors involved in organizing the ground-breaking Armory Show of 1913, which truly changed American art.

From 1912-1919, at the suggestion of his mentor Henri, Bellows would spend his summers in Maine and paint landscapes up and down the coast, with the exception of 1917, when he went to Carmel, California for four months to work on a portrait commission. On his way back east he travelled through Santa Fe to visit friends Leon Kroll and Henri. Santa Fe Canyon was completed during Bellows’ brief stay in Santa Fe in 1917. A beautiful, richly colored landscape of the river flowing at the bottom of the Santa Fe canyon, the present work is a fine example of Bellows’ skill with color and composition.

Known for his use of very expressive color, Bellows was often viewed as a spontaneous painter, but in reality was very thoughtful and planned not only his compositions but also the palette of his paintings quite meticulously.1 Bellows died suddenly in 1925, at the age of 42 from appendicitis, while still at the height of his talent.

175 ROBERT HENRI (1865-1929) Portrait of Po Tse (Water Eagle) oil on canvas 41 1/2 x 32 3/4 inches signed lower left: Robert Henri Often regarded as one of the most influential artists of twentieth-century America, Robert Henri championed individual freedom and progress in the arts throughout his career. His own style drew upon a number of avant-garde theories, including the realism of Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins in addition to the French PostImpressionist and Symbolist practices. In his ongoing battle to liberalize art institutions in America, Henri communicated the new spirit of rebellion and innovation that was at the heart of these movements to numerous students and colleagues. In this manner he was the chief means by which major breakthroughs in European painting were assimilated into American practice.

As Henri crusaded actively against academic conservatism, he enlisted younger artists such as John Sloan, and his students included George Bellows, Edward Hopper, Morgan Russell, and Stuart Davis. Henri’s cause of artistic freedom and unflinching realism led his detractors to dub Henri’s group the “Ashcan School.” In 1908 Henri and other members of the “Eight” achieved notoriety with their exhibit at Macbeth Gallery in New York.

In 1914, Henri took his first trip west to paint in Southern California. It was during this first trip that Henri’s interest in Southwestern subject matter began. According to Henri’s Record Book, in September 1914 in San Diego, the present work of Po Tse was painted among the second group of Indian portraits he executed while in California. This painting is of a Tewa Indian, and according to current research by Margi Conrads his name is Julian Martinez, husband of the well-known potter Maria Martinez. Julian posed for Henri in at least five other paintings. Considered to be one of Henri’s most important early Indian portraits, Portrait of Po Tse uses brilliant colors and “concentrates on the novelty of visible characteristics seen in facial features and in the detailed execution of the Native dress and accoutrements.”1 While in California, Henri achieved great strides in the development of his use of color, which from here forward would become a defining characteristic of his work. The beautiful, rich tones used in Portrait of Po Tse, including the striking blue background, very clearly demonstrate this newfound focus on color.

203 JOHN MARIN (1870-1953) Road to Santa Fe, 1929 watercolor on paper 15 x 20 inches signed and dated lower left: Marin 29 John Marin was born and raised in Rutherford, New Jersey. After a brief stint studying to become a mechanical engineer, Marin spent several years working as a draftsman for several architectural firms. At the age of twenty-eight he chose to pursue his art education and enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, followed by studying at the Art Students League in New York. In 1905, Marin left for Paris to study abroad for five years. While in Paris Marin was introduced to Alfred Stieglitz who became a lifelong friend and also began showing his work at his New York gallery 291. The yearly one-man exhibitions that Stieglitz held of his work launched his career and made him one of the most successful artists in America. In 1929, Marin took his first of two trips to New Mexico and was fortunate to be there at the same time as Georgia O’Keeffe, Andrew Dasburg, and Marsden Hartley. Marin visited New Mexico again in 1930 and during his two trips created over 100 watercolors of the region.

Road to Santa Fe is an incredible example of the output produced by Marin while in New Mexico for his first visit. With simple, deft brushwork his modernist aesthetic captures the beauty of the region’s unique natural forms.

204 ERNEST L. BLUMENSCHEIN (1874-1960) Portrait of Sheldon Parsons oil on canvas 20 x 16 inches titled and signed lower left: Sheldon PARSONS / BY / EL BLUMENSCHEIN Ernest Blumenschein arrived in Taos under un-planned, and somewhat inconvenient circumstances in 1898. He and his companion, the painter Bert Geer Phillips, had been traveling on a journey from Colorado to Mexico when the wheel on their wagon broke 20 miles north of Taos. Blumenschein then carried the broken wheel on horseback to Taos to have it repaired. Despite the difficult journey, he became immediately enamored of the landscape, and he and Phillips resolved to remain in Taos rather than continuing on to Mexico as planned.1 Of his first impressions of the New Mexico landscape during his horseback ride to Taos, Blumenschein wrote: Never shall I forget the first powerful impressions; my own impressions direct from a new land through my own eyes. Not another man’s picture this, not another’s adventure. The great naked anatomy of a majestic landscape once tortured now calm; the fitness of adobe houses to their tawny surroundings; the vastness and overwhelming beauty of the skies; terrible drama of storms; peace of night – all in beauty of color, vigorous form, everchanging [sic] light.2 The two artists remained in Taos, painting for three months. While Phillips enjoyed some relative financial stability that allowed him to stay in Taos permanently, Blumenschein felt anxious to get back to New York and secure some illustration commissions, which would not only provide valuable income, but also help to further develop his career and standing as a commercial artist. He was also eager to return to the Académie Julien in Paris, where he had trained for two years prior to his arrival in Taos, to complete his education. Blumenschein returned to France in 1899, and in 1905 married Mary Shepherd Greene, a classmate at the Académie and accomplished painter herself.3 The Blumenscheins returned to New York in 1906, where they both worked as illustrators and teachers. Although Blumenschein enjoyed a fair amount of success as an illustrator, working with prominent writers of the day such as Jack London and Willa Cather, he continued to think about Taos, and hoped to one day return and work there as a fine artist, free from the constraints of the commercial world. By 1910, he was splitting his time between Taos and New York, spending the summer months in Taos, and, in 1919, he moved to Taos permanently.4 During his time away from Taos, Blumenschein had also encouraged fellow painters to visit: E.I. Couse, Joseph Henry Sharp (who had visited Taos once in 1893 and again in 1897), who had been classmates at the Académie and Herbert “Buck” Dunton who had been a student of Blumenschein at the Art Students League, all made trips to Taos between 1899 and 1910. These artists, like Blumenschein and Phillips were so taken with the beauty of the landscape, as well as the opportunity to be near American Indians and their culture, that they also quickly became residents of the pueblo. With Sharp, Couse, Dunton, and Oscar Berninghaus, whom Phillips had met in Taos in 1899, Phillips and Blumenschein founded the Taos Society of Artists in 1915,5 appointing Eanger Irving Couse the first President of the group.

Blumenschein now had the freedom to paint what he liked, and took full advantage, using his eye for design and color to create paintings that exuded the majesty of the New Mexican vistas, and his admiration for the pueblo people and their culture. As a teacher, he had always encouraged his students to be sure that they were giving their paintings “something that is your own.” 6 In Taos, and surrounded by the Taoseños, he became even more convinced of the value of authenticity and of creating art that not only depicts nature, but also conveys personal expression. He observed of the pueblo Indians’ art: The Art of the Indian is not only beautiful, but it is unique. Originality is the priceless donation of all human endeavor and the aboriginal American has actually contributed more to the arts than two-hundred years of ‘civilized’ occupation of North America has produced.7 Accordingly, he infused his own Taos paintings with his exuberance for the Northern New Mexican landscape, using a more vibrant palette than he had in the past and creating rhythmic compositions of land, trees and sky. His portrait of fellow artist Sheldon Parsons, though adhering to academic principles of proportion, employs a light palette, and shows the other man in a somewhat more relaxed manner, with a few hairs askew on his forehead, even as he looks seriously toward the viewer. Thus, even as Blumenschein proved an excellent academic draftsman and commercial illustrator, it was ultimately his years spent in Taos that provided the freedom and inspiration to develop his true artistic identity, and best works.

211 RAYMOND JONSON (1891-1982) Blue Roofs, 1922 oil on panel 18 x 24 inches dated lower left: 19 (artist’s cipher) 22 signed and titled verso: Raymond Jonson / (artist’s cipher) / TITLE BLUE ROOFS Raymond Jonson was born in Iowa in 1891. After saving up enough money he went to Chicago where he studied under B.J.O. Nordfeldt at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and later at the Art Institute of Chicago. Following the completion of his education, Jonson spent several years working for the Chicago Little Theater as the graphic art director. Seeking a break from the city, Jonson made his first trip to Santa Fe in 1922, to visit his friend the poet, John Curtis Underwood. Immediately enamored of the landscape and vast open spaces, Jonson ultimately settled in Santa Fe in 1924, staying until 1949. Once in Santa Fe Jonson established himself with the modernist painters in the area and founded the Transcendental Painters Group. As he evolved into complete abstraction, Johnson spent his first several years in Santa Fe experimenting with a gradual abstraction of natural forms which maintained some roots in representation, but ultimately allowed him to fully realize his evolution to complete abstraction by around 1927.

Blue Roofs was painted in 1922, during Jonson’s first trip to Santa Fe. The vibrant colors of the sun-drenched landscape and the simple planes created by the steady shapes and sizes of the traditional adobe structures are clearly represented, however, Jonson’s strong interest in abstraction is evident, particularly in his treatment of the landscape in the foreground and the cloud and mountain formations of the horizon.

In 1951, Pepper settled in Italy, although still would spend part of each year in the United States. In 1960, Pepper turned her attention entirely to sculpture, first working in wood and after a 1962 invitation to use a local Italian steel factory as a studio, Pepper apprenticed herself to an ironmonger and soon began making her first steel sculptures. From that point forward, Pepper sculpted only in metal preferring the monumental scale for installation outdoors and particularly in urban spaces.

T E R M S & CONDITIO N S O F S AL E

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 catalog. The lots will be offered by the Santa Fe Art Auction as agent for the consignors, unless the catalog 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) Except as set forth in paragraph 1(b) below, all lots are sold “AS IS.” There are no representations or warranties that extend beyond these Terms and Conditions of Sale. All lots 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 catalog or descriptions of lots, including, but not limited to, the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, dates, exhibitions, literary or historical relevance of any lot and no statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalog, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. There are no representations and warranties, express or implied, as to whether the Buyer acquires any copyrights, including, but not limited to, any reproduction rights in any lot. Contents of this catalog are subject to change or supplementation before or during the sale, including the sale of any lot.

(b) The authenticity of the authorship attributed to the lots as described in this catalog is guaranteed only to the limited extent as stated in this paragraph 1(b).

(i) The authorship attributed to a lot includes name of the artist and any reservations therewith stated, as, for example, “attributed to,” “in the school of” or “appears to have been signed by.” The Santa Fe Art Auction makes no warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalog other than the authorship attributed to the lots.

(ii) This guarantee is further limited as follows: The benefits of this guarantee are not assignable and shall be available only to the Buyer of record; this guarantee shall remain in force and be effective only if notice of rescission is given to the Santa Fe Art Auction within three (3) years following the date of sale, provided the lot is tendered to the Santa Fe Art Auction in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the same condition as the lot was found at the time of sale; and that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the total purchase price paid (i.e., the successful bid price, plus the buyer’s premium and applicable tax) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available, and that the Santa Fe Art Auction and its consignors shall not be liable to the Buyer for any incidental, consequential, special, compensatory or punitive damages.

(iii) In remitting payment hereunder, Buyer agrees and acknowledges that the absolute limit of Santa Fe Art Auction’s, its agents’ or consignors’ liability and responsibility shall not exceed the total purchase price.

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 17% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including $500,000, 15% of the excess of the final bid price above $500,000, 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 20% of the final bid price for each lot up to and including $500,000, 18% of the excess of the final bid price above $500,000, 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. If a buyer requests that artwork be shipped to an address in New York State, we must collect New York sales tax due to an affiliated business located in New York City under recent legislation (Part P-1 of Chapter 57 of the Laws of 2009).

• 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.

• 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 catalog.

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 18 0

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.

(a) All lots must be removed by the Buyer at his or her expense not later than ten (10) business days following the sale, and, if it is not so removed, (i) a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month, or a portion thereof from the tenth day after the sale (until its removal) will be payable to us by the Buyer, with a minimum of 5% of the total purchase price due for any lot not so removed within 60 days after the sale, and (ii) Santa Fe Art Auction may send the purchased lot to a public warehouse for the account of and at the risk and expense of the Buyer.

(b) If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the Buyer, the Buyer will be in default, and in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Santa Fe Art Auction and its agents and consignors by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the Buyer liable for the total purchase price, together with all fees, charges and expenses set forth in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Santa Fe Art Auction, at its sole option, may (i) cancel the sale of that, or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting Buyer, or (ii) resell the purchased lot or lots, whether at auction or by private sale, or (iii) effect any combination thereof. The Buyer will be liable for any deficiency, any and all costs, handling charges, late charges, expenses and commissions of both sales, legal fees and expenses, collection fees and incidental damages. The Santa Fe Art Auction and its agents and consignors shall have all of the rights accorded to a secured party under the New Mexico Uniform Commercial Code. 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. Those works indicated by a v have been guaranteed at a minimum price by the Santa Fe Art Auction or a third party. The Santa Fe Art Auction, or its agents or consignors, may also bid upon other lots listed in this catalog.

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 may, in its discretion and at a Buyer’s request, pack and ship items as directed by the Buyer. In such event, Buyer agrees to the following conditions:

(a) All such packing, handling and shipping is at the sole risk of the Buyer and the Santa Fe Art Auction shall have no liability for any loss or damage to such items, and (b) Buyer shall pay all related expenses in advance. Buyer should allow four to six weeks for shipping from the date of the auction.

15. Results are posted on the Santa Fe Art Auction web site and, upon request, may be sent to Buyers, catalog 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.

181

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. Santa Fe Art Auction does not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

G U I D E FOR BI DDIN G

ABSENTEE BIDS If you are unable to attend the auction in person, and wish to place bids, you may give the Santa Fe Art Auction Bid Department instructions to bid on your behalf. Our representatives will then try to purchase the lot or lots of your choice for the lowest price possible, and never for more than the top amount you indicate. The Santa Fe Art Auction offers this service as a convenience to clients who are unable to attend the auction. However, the Santa Fe Art Auction will not be responsible for failure to execute bids, or any errors in executing bids.

PLACING ABSENTEE BIDS Absentee bids are accepted only if you have returned a signed Absentee Bid Form by mail or fax which authorizes the Santa Fe Art Auction to place bids on your behalf. The Absentee Bid Form appears in the back of this catalog. Please complete and return to the Santa Fe Art Auction by November 13, 2015.

To place bids, please use the absentee bid form provided in the back of this catalog.

No bid will be placed unless you indicate a Top Limit (i.e., the amount that you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself ).

Any alternative bids should be indicated by using the word “OR” between lot numbers. Then if your bid on an early lot is successful, we will not continue to bid on other lots for you. Or, if your early bids are unsuccessful, we will continue to execute bids for alternative lots until a bid is successful. Bids must be placed in the same order as the lot numbers appear in this catalog.

Please place your bids as early as possible. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

TELEPHONE BIDS Telephone bids are accepted only if you have returned a signed Absentee Bid Form by mail or fax which authorizes the Santa Fe Art Auction to place bids on your behalf.

Telephone bidders are encouraged to leave back up bids in case of techincal failure.

BUYER’S PREMIUM The Top Limit you indicate on your bid form is the gavel price exclusively. Please keep in mind that a buyer’s premium, as stated in paragraph 3 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale, will be added to the successful bid price of each lot you buy and is payable by you together with the applicable sales tax which is applied to the total cost of the purchase.

SUCCESSFUL BIDS Successful absentee bidders will be notified and invoiced within a few days of the sale. Successful absentee bidders shall arrange to make payment via cash, check, credit card or wire transfer upon receipt of notification of purchase.
