A
rt & Design is a celebration of the collaborations at the intersection of the applied and fine arts. Design in the 20th century is in many ways a repudiation of these distinctions and a conscious effort to inject objects with an ethic of purpose that rejects tradition. Yet, aesthetic anachronisms from an earlier era are often retained. The works presented in this sale represent encounters between architects, woodworkers, engineers, graphic artists, ceramicists, glassblowers, and the like; each trying their hand at a set of design problems. It is also a salute to the collaborations between these masters, such as the “Trumeau Architettura” (lot 14), an iconic piece of mid-20th century design and the result of a successful partnership between the Milanese architect Gio Ponti and his fellow countryman, the imaginative graphic artist and designer Piero Fornasetti. The work of other Italian luminaries including Melchiorre Bega, Pietro Melandri, Carlo di Carli, and Ettore Sottsass reflect the important influence of architecture on the history of global design in the 20th century. In America, designers working in the environs of New Hope and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania like George Nakashima, Wharton Esherick, and Paul Evans each approached furniture design from a distinct, uncompromising, Sincerely,

and heroic viewpoint. George Nakashima came of age in Tokyo, Paris, and Pondicherry, India. His works reflect his training as an architect and the enormous influence of the International Style. Most significantly, Nakashima’s methods retained Japanese craft traditions in the service of an ethic rooted in the natural world, not an attempt to overcome or transcend it. By contrast, Wharton Esherick’s explorations in wood were those of an artist’s whose experimentation with philosophy, literature, dance, music, and art brought him to this medium as a means toward an end. One gets the feeling from looking at Esherick’s furniture that it was made only as fast as his hands would allow; many thoughts carving their way onto his wood surfaces, creating a builtenvironment of ideas. Paul Evans was of a similar artistic bend, but found his voice through metalwork. He approached furniture, as design historian Dr. Edward S. Cooke has suggested, from the perspective of a fashion designer, driven by trend-setting and an ever-changing consumer base with a taste for “what’s next”. Examples of his Cityscape, Patchwork, and Sculptured Metal series are all represented herein. We are pleased to present all these works for your consideration as part of our inaugural Art & Design auction.

Weegee (American, 1899-1968) The Collection of Hugh & Suzanne Johnston Hugh and Suzanne Johnston had been working at Industrial Design magazine and were burgeoning filmmakers when they met Weegee in 1956. Their meeting coincided with a turning point in Weegee’s career, as he had become disillusioned with the news pictures that had made him famous, and had instead delved into a new realm of image distortions and manipulations. Admiring their graphic design and editorial backgrounds, he worked with and developed a close friendship with the Johnstons. Throughout their time with Weegee, the Johnstons were gifted photographs from all periods of his work, including rare color transparencies of images that were unknown to the public. In Suzanne’s own words, “we all leave our trails behind us, and mine was enhanced and deepened when it crossed with Weegee’s.” Lots bear their collection hand stamp where indicated.

ROBERT BRAY “PLAYBOY PLANS A DUPLEX PENTHOUSE” Acrylic on artist’s board. Executed circa 1970. various sizes, largest image: 15 1/4 x 22 1/2 in. (39.4 x 57.2cm) All unframed note: Originally featured in the January 1970 edition of Playboy Magazine, this duplex penthouse design was created as second in a series of ‘Playboy Pads’ (the first was published in 1956). These were actual and projected dwellings meant to appeal to the urban bachelor who believed that a “man’s home is not only his castle but also an outward reflection of his inner self; a place where he can live, love and be merry, entertain his friends... play poker with cronies from the office or relax alone with a fond companion”(excerpt from the January 1970, “Playboy Plans a Duplex Penthouse” article). Cooly elegant, sleek and sophisticated, these designs showcase the ultimate bachelor pad, the epitome of high-living modernity. Luxuriously furnished with multi-paneled abstract paintings, leathered covered Domino chairs, Knoll cocktail tables and Italian-designed Brionvega AM/FM hi-fi units, these plush interiors were the spatial manifestation of Playboy’s ideal heterosexual and affluent man of taste. $2,000-3,000

Terms & Conditions All property offered and sold (“property”) through Samuel T. Freeman & Co, (“Freeman’s”) shall be offered and sold on the terms and conditions set forth below which constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. By bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.
1 Unless otherwise indicated, all Property will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for the Consignor. 2 Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the terms of sale and any such variance shall become part of these Conditions of Sale. 3 Buyer acknowledges that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property. Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.
8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency
in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.
13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer, arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. v2.2016
