58 Charles Sheeler (1883–1965) Untitled (Man at Work), 1927 watercolor on paper signed and dated lower center: Sheeler 1927 12 ⅞ x 13 ⅞ in. (32.7 x 35.2 cm.) Charles Sheeler was an influential American artist who used both photography and painting, which he referred to as his 'separate eyes,' to capture the function, abstraction, and the human element of the American industrial and urban age. He studied at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art from 1900-1902, and from there went on to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1903 to 1906. He became a leading figure in the Precisionist movement, which celebrated the new American landscape of skyscrapers, bridges, and factories. Subjects were reduced to their essential geometric shapes, eliminating detail, and as this untitled watercolor shows, with its upward perspective, introducing planes of light to focus on the grandeur of the worker and the steel.

131 Allan Capron Houser (Haouzous) (Chiricahua Apache, 1914–1994) I Think He’s Watching Me, ca. 1979 Vermont marble inscribed: ALLAN HOUSER 30 ¼ x 21 x 13 ¼ in. (76.8 x 53.3 x 33.7 cm.) “Houser found his monumental, classical capabilities well adapted to works in marble such as “I Think He’s Watching Me” (1980), dignified by an Old Kingdom frontality embodying unshakable balance on a base echoing the original slab. The expressed subject is romantic, but the style is controlled, unemotional, with as much interest shown by the sculptor in the folded, fringed shawls as in the woman’s attractive but hieratic and asexual face. Rather than emerging as a portrayal of a real person, this ordered image is above all a formal work of sculpture, cut, we are firmly reminded, from stone.” (B.H. Perlman:Allan Houser, 1992) Provenance: Private Collection, Oregon Literature: Barbara H.

Tony Abeyta is a Diné [Navajo] contemporary artist celebrated for his versatility, with work that includes neo-modernist landscapes, sculpture, and jewelry with subject matter sourced in the New Mexico landscape, ancestral Navajo iconography and American Modernism. “I create from a Native American vocabulary, but I am inspired by the knowledge I have acquired from other parts of the world, and from other periods of art history…” Of Lot 288, this rare red abstraction, the artist says, “unique works like this painting are important as they offer those breakthrough moments that inform new directions that have always been pertinent to my progress as a painter. I see much of my work in its totality, so each period still belongs to the whole.” In particular, he states, “This painting comes transitionally from a period of works highly influenced by music and indigenous ritual. The idea was to create compositions with rhythmic vibrations tied to my own ancestral memory. Spatially integrating ideas of man and animal dynamics, while working in a very modernist style and with a limited color palette. I chose to work in this palette of red and black, creating contrasts that add musical elements, so that essentially my paintings might emanate sound.” In September, 2023, Tony became the first Native American honored as a U.S. Department of State Medal of Arts recipient. He is also a previous recipient of the New Mexico Governor’s Excellence in the Arts award and has been recognized as a Native Treasure by the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in the Arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts, and holds degrees in Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art and New York University . His work is included in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, Boston Fine Arts Museum, the Heard Museum in Phoenix, AZ, New Mexico Fine Arts Museum, the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, CA, and the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, as well as in many other public & private collections and U.S. Embassies around the world.

293 Luis Jimenez (1940–2006) El Filo from the 'Cycle' Series cast fiberglass and automotive paint with epoxy coating, edition 3 of 5 inscribed: Luis Jimenez [artist's cipher] - 3/5 modeled 1969, cast 1977 28 x 47 x 84 in. (71.12 x 119.38 x 213.36 cm.) As a child, Luis Jiménez apprenticed at his father's neon-sign studio and learned to work with industrial materials and paints. He went on to study art and architecture at the University of Texas followed by a year in Mexico. He moved permanently to New Mexico in the early 1970s where he found patronage and numerous public large-scale commissions: including the Hirshhorn Museum; the Smithsonian American Art Museum; public parks in Fargo, ND, Houston, El Paso, Albuquerque, etc. as well as his final work for the Denver Airport. His highly colored fiberglass sculptures- whether monumental in scale or more personal in size are fun, insightful, and often controversial realizations of Jimenez’s roots, his social awareness, and his own vision of life in the West. In an interview (1977) with Richard Wickstrom, Jiménez said: “I realized a long time ago I was never going to be subtle. So I try to use those things out of my culture and my background that maybe weren’t considered in a fine art setting. I think that becomes a strength. Growing up on the border is really different from the general American experience. It’s kind of obvious Mexican American connections in the work. The attitude toward color, toward form, and the approach in general is Mexican-American.” 1 Jimenez first approached the motorcycle as a subject in 1968, eventually associating the vehicle with a male rider (drawing, Yale University Art Gallery). The artist’s self-proclaimed interest in the relationship of man and machine is here a distinctly masculine and sexual image. A similar large-scale version was exhibited in Jimenez’s second Graham Gallery exhibition (1970) and the catalogue discusses the “male cyclist dissolved into his machine, becoming one with it”. That example (Leonard-Litz Foundation, CT) is a dark hued duo – with man and machine without delineation in muted shades of dark blue and black. For the example he made for Donald B. Anderson, the work is ablaze with color – reflecting the custom paint job of many low rider cars. The present example is more subtly painted and allows the paint to define the figure and the machine. The artist personalizes this version with the words El Filo on the cyclist’s jacket as well as a meticulous application of sparkles in the application of the varnish. 1

After five years of commercial advertising in New York City, he moved back to Phoenix to pursue an inner desire to paint the great American West. Unique and graphic views of the Southwest landscape became the focus of Ed Mell's work. “I deal with those lasting impressions you have after driving through an area like Monument Valley. You remember basic forms, color and mood. The details are lost, but the image remains. The landscape is too dynamic to interpret realistically; therefore you must resort to exaggeration to capture its immediate power.” — Ed Mell

John Andolsek was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1961, and graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 1983. He has exhibited widely throughout the United States and currently lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Andolsek creates deeply contemplative spaces through his dynamic brushwork and portrays subjects and scenes that echo themes of typical American life. His paintings are powerful and nuanced contemplations on contemporary life and collective memory, and subtly evoke themes of nostalgia and a search for truth through formal interactions. Through his sophisticated approaches to abstraction and figuration, color and form, Andolsek paints familiar forms and spaces as emblems of greater themes, such as consumerism, escape, wealth, and power.

Considered one of America’s leading contemporary realists, Daniel Sprick was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and studied at the Ramon Froman School of Art, the National Academy of Design in New York City, and the University of Northern Colorado. His lifelong love of drawing began at the age of four. Sprick comments: “The human skeleton is quite irresistible to me. I can’t help but see my own life there, and it’s a compelling and beautiful subject, outwardly beautiful and sculpturally. And it has a haunting presence that can’t really be ignored…. It’s hard for me to retrace my steps when I painted the Skeleton Table, but I do remember that I had a lot of preliminary drawings for it before I started and some drawings that I had been accumulating for almost a year that kind of led to this. I was thinking of an obscure Japanese composition – I don’t remember the piece – but it was a kind of a still life subject placed at that height. That painting morphed in my mind to the subject of the sky burial, which is a type of disposal of human remains by putting them up on high so that scavenging birds would pick and take away the remains. Although, that occurs outdoors where the birds can get to it, not indoors, but somehow that elevation made me think of a sky burial. I found the whole notion of it quite poignant.” — Interview with Rose Frederick, Incurable Optimist, 2008 Provenance: Private Collection, New Mexico $20,000 — $30,000

338 Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952) President Theodore Roosevelt, ca. 1904 orotone on glass (goldtone) signed lower right: Curtis negative date: 1904 print date: ca. 1904 10 x 8 in. (25.4 x 20.3 cm.) Rendered here in goldtone, this Curtis portrait of President Theodore Roosevelt is an excellent example of the photographic process that Curtis popularized. The gold backing is completely intact, which is somewhat unusual in Curtis’ goldtones and the period frame is in fantastic condition with the original backing still intact. Early in Curtis’ photographic career he gained considerable respect as a portrait photographer. So much so, that his work was recognized by President Theodore Roosevelt, who subsequently invited Curtis to take some family photographs on the East coast. Curtis and Roosevelt shared a vision and passion for preservation, and when Curtis started The North American Indian project Roosevelt became a champion of the work, eventually introducing him to J.P. Morgan, who provided considerable financing for the project. Of Curtis Roosevelt said, “Mr. Curtis, because of the singular combination of qualities with which he has been blessed and because of his extraordinary success in making and using his opportunities, has been able to do what no other man ever has done; what, as for we can see, no other man could do.” Provenance: Edward S.

CURTIS negative date: 1904 print date: 1904 16 ½ x 11 ¼ in. (41.9 x 28.6 cm.) Southwest Curtis occasionally employed hand-coloring in his prints. The photographic process he used for his hand-colored prints varied, typically being platinum or silver gelatin. But sometimes the process used can be ambiguous as is the case with this print. Not only is the photographic process unknown, but the image is unusual in that it was not published in The North American Indian, but instead in Scribner’s Magazine in 1906. Overall this is an excellent example of Curtis’ use of an experimental photographic process. Provenance: Edward Curtis Studio, Seattle Private Collection(s) The Christopher G.

(26.7 x 35.6 cm.) Qa’Gyuhl, Northwest After Curtis returned from the field, his staff would make silver gelatin ‘reference prints’ from the new negatives. He primarily used these prints as a simple record of the negatives. In some cases however, larger silver gelatin prints were made of images Curtis thought had possibilities for further consideration. In this case, a different image of this scene was chosen for publication in The North American Indian, making this print a potential window into Curtis’ editing process. This is an untoned print, on single-weight, glossy surface silver gelatin paper. Provenance: Edward Curtis Studio, Seattle Private Collection(s) The Christopher G. Cardozo Collection 1999
IN THE LAND OF THE HEAD HUNTERS
$600 — $900
In 1914, famed photographer Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) produced a melodramatic, silent film entitled In the Land of the Head Hunters. This was the first feature-length film to exclusively star Native North Americans. An epic story of love and war set before European contact, it featured non-professional actors from Kwakwaka’wakw (Kwakiutl) communities in British Columbia. (https://www.curtisfilm.rutgers.edu/)

(43.2 x 53.3 cm.) Bodyguards is an integrated series comprised of eight photographs created by Luis Gonzalez Palma in 2008 and realized in print form throughout 2009, as a result of a unique collaboration between Christopher Cardozo Fine Art and the artist. “First and foremost, these photographs are objects of great beauty, which embody a palpable physical presence. The series is also a meditation on several important themes and ideas. The most fundamental ideas concern identity (personal and cultural), strength and vulnerability, and paradox. The artist’s vision and intent has been realized through a ten-month, highly collaborative process with two master printers. Between them, these master printers have decades of experience in alternative and historic photographic processes. This collaboration has resulted in the creation of prints in two rare and demanding processes, each of unsurpassed beauty and power.” Christopher Cardozo, 2009 Palma worked with several experts in printing and a variety of other fields to fully realize these pieces, among them master printers Peter Bernardy and Brad Miller. These pieces were printed utilizing Goldtone and platinum printing methods, two radically different, proprietary print processes that offer two very different forms of expression for these images. Depicting powerful bodyguards adorned in delicate 16th century collars, this series is an exploration of values and preconceptions, and is a powerful contemplation of several important themes such as cultural values, vulnerability, and time.

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 22% 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 25% 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. Successful Online bidders with LiveAuctioneers.com or Bidsquare.com will be subject to a 25% buyer’s premium of the final bid price of 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 1, 2022, SFAA has met the nexus in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. However, any purchases made in person and/or picked up in person, are subject to applicable New Mexico sales tax instead. • The following states do not currently have sales tax and/or applicable economic nexus laws, and as a result the Santa Fe Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon. • 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.

SANTA FE ART AUCTION
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. 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. 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.
