130 | GARTH’S November 23 - 24, 2012
John (Jack) Edler
A specialist in Pacific Island Anthropology, Archaeology, Ethnology and Art History, Mr. Edler is a graduate of Beloit College, Department of Anthropology. He attended the Australian National University. Canberra, Australia, and served as a Research Associate with the New Guinea Research Unit, Research School of the Pacific. Having conducted more than 30 expeditions to the Pacific over the past 45 years, his principal focus has been on the arts, material culture and art history of culturally-related geographic regions. At various times, Mr. Edler has served as consultant and advisor to most major public and university museums in the United States, many prominent museums in Europe, the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand. He is author of Melanesian Art, Rockford College, 1973; Melanesian Images, Minnesota Museum of Art, 1975; Continuity and Controls, James Camp, New York, 1978; and Polynesian Art, Hemmeter Publishing, Honolulu, 1991.
Dr. Gary N. Meek
A retired General Surgeon from Hot Springs, Arkansas, Dr. Meek has been collecting primitive and tribal art for the past sixty years. His exposure to tribal cultures during his service in the United States Air Force in North East Thailand during the Vietnam War inspired him to begin his collection. “Being able to meet other like-minded individuals from all over the world has been the highlight of my collecting.�
Edward (Ned) Justice
Having grown up in the mid-Atlantic, Mr. Justice acquired an interest in African carvings at a very early age, inspired by National Geographic magazines and the availability and affordability of African pieces in the 1950's. The child of active antiques dealers, Mr. Justice found opportunities to buy at regular auction visits where his parents were buying and selling in their interests. As an adult, Mr. Justice has lived in several different parts of the country, but has always collected carvings and masks. With almost 1,000 objects in his collection, Mr. Justice is hopeful that the items sold in this auction will find homes with collectors who will enjoy them as much as he has. | 131

GARTH’S POLICY
GUARANTEE: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. continues to be committed to providing thorough descriptions that reflect our belief in service through honesty, integrity and attention to detail. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalogue description, with the exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. “Origin” is defined as the creator, period, culture, or source, as set forth in the first bold line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions – Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, Garth’s Auctions, Inc. does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Garth’s does not guarantee the authenticity of any item created before 1500. Regarding all jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. Regarding colored stones: purchasers are reminded that colored stones and diamonds may be enhanced by using one or more techniques, including but not limited to: clarity enhancements, resins, and heat treatment. Garth’s makes no warranty express or implied to the buyer as to whether a natural stone has been enhanced. Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold “as is”.
BUYING FOR OUR ACCOUNT: The owners and employees of Garth’s Auctions, Inc. never have, nor ever will buy any item at our auction for ourselves.
LIABILITY: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin of a lot for a period of twenty-one days from the date of the auction and only to the original purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser’s expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. and the purchaser, before Garth’s Auctions, Inc. determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee. The purchaser’s sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase price and premium paid by the purchaser. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen.
WITHDRAWN LOTS: Garth’s Auction, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of the property.
SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the auctioneer’s gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.
DISPUTED AND REJECTED BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to re-open the bidding on the disputed lot. The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item’s worth. We make every attempt, for the benefit of both seller and buyer, to create lots that reflect the quality of our cataloged merchandise. Therefore, any lot not receiving an opening bid of at least $50.00 will be passed.
ESTIMATES & RESERVES: Presale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of actual gavel price. Some of the items in this auction are subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Garth’s Auctions, Inc. The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate.
DEFINITIONS OF STATEMENTS: a) “Attributed to” – work is of the period of the named artist and may be the work of that artist, but not definitely so. b) “Circle of” – work of the period closely associated with the artist or from his studio. c) “School of” – work by a pupil or follower of the artist, in his style. d) “After” – in our opinion, a copy of the work of the artist. e) “Signed” – has a signature that in our opinion is the signature of the artist. f) “Bears signature” – has signature that in our opinion might be the signature of the artist.
