Literature:

Alec Wildenstein, Odilon Redon, Catalogue raisonné de l’oeuvre peint et dessiné, vol. IV, Paris, 1998, p. 267, no. 2616, illus.

$50,000 - 70,000

The imagery of Femme ailée by Odilon Redon is consistent with the theme of the winged figure, or angel, found in the artist’s other paintings from the 1870s. The early years of that decade witnessed intense political and social turmoil with the concomitance of the Franco-Prussian war and the Paris Commune. In the cultural realm, bourgeois materialism and Darwin’s recent theory of evolution seemed to call into question humankind’s existential stability and to preclude the artistic aspiration to make sense of the natural world in poetic terms.

In that context of doom, often dubbed “le mal du siècle,” the winged figure not only stands for fallen humankind, but also for the act of creation as a struggle against materialism, a yearning for ideals. It is unclear whether the winged figure is fettered or soaring, whether the bare background depicts a solid rock or an ethereal cloud, underlining the tension between creative loss and creative transcendence. Tellingly, despite the widespread wings and the suggestion of upward movement, the figure’s gaze is drawn to the ground.

The imagery of dream, the advocacy for poetic concerns over reason and realism, and the rebellion against banal depictions of humankind all point to the Symbolist aesthetic, translated by Redon through the stylized and unfinished appearance of the figure. It veers towards the abstract into a proto-cubist manner, further removing humankind, as well as the artist himself, from realist representation.

Charles Amable Lenoir (French, 1861–1940)

Pandora, 1902

Property from Linden House, Indianapolis, Indiana

Sold: Sotheby’s, New York, May 26, 1994, Lot 101 Guarisco Galleries, Washington, DC

$60,000 - 80,000

In Charles Amable Lenoir’s Pandora, 1902, the namesake subject solemnly gazes at the viewer as she delicately holds the gold box that contains all the world’s evils. Above her, an apple tree in full fruit can be seen, the symbol of Eve. Pandora’s porcelain skin and the smoothly painted surfaces throughout recall the teachings of William-Adolphe Bouguereau, with whom Lenoir studied at the Académie Julian, beginning in 1882. The son of a customs officer and a seamstress, Lenoir began his career not as an artist but as a teacher. He eventually saved enough money to pursue his true interest, to become an artist, and entered the École des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1881. His tenacity and talent eventually led him to win the Second Prix de Rome in 1889 for his painting, Jésus et le paralytique (Jesus and a Sick Man with Palsy), and then the First Prix de Rome the following year for Le Reniement de Saint Pierre (The Denial of St. Peter)

In 1887, Lenoir made his debut at the Paris Salon, where he exhibited mostly portraits, but then later focused on genre paintings, as well as religious and mythological subjects. After experimenting with other styles, including Romanticism and the Rococo, he eventually devoted himself to academic painting in the style of his teacher Bouguereau. Lenoir’s paintings reflect the academic values of accurate drawing, contour, and smooth paint surfaces. These paintings also echo the appeal of feminine beauty during the nineteenth century, for “a continuing fondness for the ‘keepsake’ tradition of the depiction of beauty, gentle, sweet and somewhat coy” (Philip Hook and Mark Pottimore, Popular 19th Century Painting: A Dictionary of European Genre Painters, Woodbridge, 1986, p. 58). Lenoir favored images of beautiful women and girls, coyly erotic nudes, and cupids, as well as allegorical, religious, and mythological scenes, such as Pandora

In Greek mythology, Zeus commands Hephaestus, god of blacksmithing and metallurgy, to mold from earth a “beautiful evil,” a woman to punish humankind after they receive the stolen gift of fire from Prometheus. Athena then dresses Pandora in a silvery gown, an embroidered veil, garland, and an ornate crown. According to Hesiod’s Works and Days, she was “sheer guile, not to be withstood by men.” She came with a jar (later corruptly translated to a box), given to her by Zeus, that contains countless plagues. Presented as a wife to Epimetheus, Pandora promptly opens the container and scatters all the sins of the world. Depicted in varied guises throughout the centuries in art, by the late 19th century, Pandora was idealized as a dangerous beauty, usually naked or semi-naked.

In Lenoir’s version, Pandora appears less threatening than mysteriously beguiling as she looks forthrightly at the viewer. Her gown slips slightly to reveal a smooth, white shoulder and the diaphanous white fabric of this gown provides a tantalizing glimpse of well-shaped legs above delicate, bare feet. A gauzy veil, spangled with silver stars, quivers in a breeze behind her lithe figure. The apples that hang above her dark hair knowingly point to Pandora’s comparison to Eve, who also unwittingly released evil, and knowledge, into the world. A virtuoso example of French Academic mythological painting, Lenoir’s Pandora is a symbol of provocative beauty that comes with an equal measure of unknown risk.

$80,000 - 120,000

Illustrating a clear, bright day along the River Oise, Le quai du Pothuis à Pontoise, 1905, is a superb example of Gustave Loiseau’s gently diffusive light as it reflects off the flowing water. Considered one of the foremost post-impressionist painters, he was greatly influenced by the generation of impressionists who came before him, including Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro. Born in Paris to parents who ran a successful butcher shop, Loiseau was apprenticed to a house painter and then to a decorator, which aroused his interest in art. In 1887, he received an inheritance from his grandmother that allowed him to study art full time. He briefly attended the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and then studied under the landscape painter Fernand Just Quignon.

On the advice of Quignon, in 1890, Loiseau traveled to Pont-Aven in Brittany, where he befriended the artists Maxime Maufra and Henry Moret. As he was mostly self-taught, Loiseau shaped his style through close observation of nature and careful scrutiny of his impressionist forebears. Like them, he was a champion of painting en plein air, yet he developed his own artistic technique that used a distinct cross-hatched brushstroke, called en treillis. This method created an evanescent quality and movement to his compositions and reveals the influence of pointillism in his work.

In 1895, Loiseau was introduced by Claude Monet to the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who signed an exclusive contract with him two years later. The resulting financial independence allowed the artist to journey throughout France to paint various landscapes, including Normandy and Brittany, as well as the small towns along the Rivers Seine and Yonne. By 1904, Loiseau settled in Pontoise, a suburb northwest of Paris. Located along the River Oise, the town was popularized by Pissarro, who was later followed by other artists who came to depict the waterfront views.

Analogous to Monet, Loiseau explored in his canvases the different atmospheric conditions of Pontoise and its surrounding landscape and river. He painted the Quai du Pothuis in several compositions from a variety of views that range from misty mornings to brilliant, sunshine filled afternoons, such as can be seen in the present artwork. The richly pigmented surface is composed of spontaneous brushwork that is layered to create a scintillating dance of light. Tall trees line the riverbank and they cast deep, purpled shadows on a path that appears to glow with the heat of a summer sun. The water and grass lining the bank dazzle with staccato strokes of blue, green, yellow, and violet. Two small figures, a woman and child, can be seen at the focal point of the composition. Their miniscule presence serves to accentuate the broad expanse of river and land under the sweeping blue sky. This work masterfully highlights Loiseau’s experimental nature and his intuitive use of both impressionist and post-impressionist techniques to capture nature as it is experienced.

At the Beach and Children at the Beach and On the Rocky Shore (A double-sided work) exemplify Dorothea Sharp’s highly impressionistic style and spontaneous brushwork. Well known during her own lifetime as a painter, she captured the wonder of childhood with her depictions of children on the beach and in pastoral landscapes, as well as in domestic settings. The Editor of The Artist praised Sharp as, “one of England’s greatest living woman painters,” and commented upon the charm of her art:

“No other woman artist gives us such joyful paintings as she. Full of sunshine and luscious colour, her work is always lively harmonious and tremendously exhilarating...the chief attractions of Miss Sharp’s delightful pictures are her happy choice of subjects, and her beautiful colour schemes. Rollicking children bathed in strong sunlight, playing in delightful surroundings, her subjects appeal because they are based on the joy of life. And she presents them equally happily, with a powerful technique which enables her to make the most of her wonderful sense of colour” (Harold Sawkins, “Dorothea Sharp, ROI, RBA,” The Artist, April 1935, pp. 55-8).

Sharp first studied art at the Regent Street Polytechnic in London at the age of 21, and then traveled to Paris to continue her training. It was here that she became heavily influenced by the impressionists, especially Monet, with their confident brushstrokes and strong colors. She later wrote, “I think the young painters of this decade little realize what we owe to those great masters of the French Impressionist School” (Dorothea Sharp, The Student’s Book of Oil Painting, New York, 1937, p. 31). However, the artist’s handling of broken light and color was not only derived by her study of the impressionists, but also by instinct. She once described color as “that elusive something we cannot quite define…To have good colour sense is to be in touch with nature…Colour is emotional—it is felt, in its finer sense rather than seen. Colour cannot be taught—beyond a point—it is inborn (The Artist Magazine, April 1931, p. 48).

Upon her return from Paris, Sharp settled in London, where she maintained a studio for the rest of her life. By the 1910s, though, she would spend much of the year in the art colony of St. Ives, Cornwall, drawn to its sunny skies and rocky beaches. It was here that she executed works such as At the Beach and Children at the Beach and On the Rocky Shore (A double-sided work), which delight in the pleasures of a day by the water. Children splash playfully about in breeze-ruffled waves and women contentedly lounge in bright sunshine. The thick, colorful impasto paint reveals the artist’s quick use of a heavily loaded brush and her instinctive paint strokes highlight the carefree and relaxed atmosphere. In these vibrant works, Sharp skillfully renders happy memories of never-ending summer days in the sand and sea.

Turn Your Money by Gerard Dillon is a visual amalgamation of Irish folk tales and myths. The present artwork depicts two women who stand in a country lane and gaze upward at the crescent moon in an inky black sky. The lane is lined on each side with traditional stone walls and at its end stand three white-washed cottages. The younger of the two women, with a black cat by her bare feet, clutches her left hand to her chest. The title, Turn Your Money, refers to an Irish country tradition that with the coming of the new moon, people would pray for health, wealth, and good fortune. It was also thought to be bad luck to see the new moon first through glass, so people would ensure that they stepped outside to view the planetary object in its beginning phase and not accidentally see it through a window. The black cat is another reference to an Irish folktale of the black bog cat, a mysterious creature who is said to have prowled around the shores of Lough Neagh, a lake in Northern Ireland. Cunning, swift, and unusually large, this mythical cat is rumored to bring great wealth and happiness to those lucky enough to run into it.

Born in the industrial city of Belfast, Dillon was fascinated with Ireland’s mythical rural life and often portrayed locals in their everyday existence in Donegal, the Boyne Valley, and the west of Ireland in the 1940s and 50s. This region, so far from the strife and conflict of Belfast, was to be important to the development of his career. Dillon was a mostly self-taught artist, and his discovery of the Irish countryside during a cycling trip with a friend in the summer of 1939 was a revelation in terms of his subject matter. He saw in the area and the people a freshness and simplicity, as “visual symbols of the country he had dimly dreamt of and idyllically desired to belong to” (James White, Gerard Dillon, An Illustrated Biography, Dublin, 1994, p. 34). The artist valued openness and honesty and he consciously adopted a primitive style, once declaring he wanted to paint with “a child’s directness” (J. White, ibid., p. 59). Using thick impasto and broad brushstrokes, along with simple outlines and bold color contrasts, his depictions of Western Ireland ignore perspective and realism to chronicle a way of life that had been virtually unaffected by World War II.

During the war, Dillon settled in Dublin, as southern Ireland remained neutral. He became part of a thriving artistic community, which included Irish artists such as Louis le Brocquy, Patrick Hennessy, and Daniel O’Neill. It was as part of this group that Dillon participated in a 1946 exhibition with other Irish artists at the Leicester Gallery in London. The success of this exhibition led to this group of painters to be invited to show at the Associated American Artists’ Galleries in New York. The exhibition, Contemporary Irish Paintings, opened on March 3, 1947, and included Jack Butler Yeats, Colin Middleton, Nano Reid, Norah McGuinness, George Campbell, Le Brocquy, and Dillon. Turn Your Money was the cover illustration for the exhibition catalogue. Dr. Theodore Goodman, art critic for the Irish monthly magazine, Commentary, wrote in a review that “the subject matter is typically Hibernian in its poetic often mystic quality. One example of this is Gerard Dillon’s Turn Your Money which shows two women looking at the new moon over their left shoulders. It is done in somber, quiet tones...” (J. White, ibid., p. 54).

Through its strong sense of narrative, the present painting evokes the traditional beliefs of rural Ireland. The impression of innocence is further emphasized by the artist’s deliberately naïve execution, with its bold lines that delineate the women’s faces, the rocks in the walls, and the traditional cottages. Perspective is modified at will by Dillon, with the wall behind the young woman seeming to lean backward with her body as she gazes at the moon, yet the road on which the two figures stand leads into the darkness through the use of traditional perspective. A moody and mysterious scene, Turn Your Money chronicles the artist’s admiration of the captivating simplicity of western Ireland.

Vanessa Bell was one of the most celebrated painters of the Bloomsbury Group, an association of British writers, intellectuals, philosophers, and artists that formed in the early 20th century. The group included her sister, Virginia Woolf, as well as E.M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes, and Lytton Strachey. During her lifetime, Bell exhibited in London and Paris and was praised for her work and designs that rejected Victorian strictures of narrative painting, and instead embraced bright colors and bold forms.

In addition to her painting, Bell collaborated with Duncan Grant, a fellow Bloomsbury Group artist, to create set designs for theatrical and dance productions. On the recommendation of Grant, in 1932, Bell was asked to design the set for High Yellow. Produced for the Camargo Society, the ballet is set to jazz music and takes place on a tropical island. The present work, a curtain design for the ballet, reveals the artist’s innovative use of flat fields of bold shapes done in vibrant hues to create a lively and vivid image. In a letter to Roger Fry, Bell described how much she enjoyed this new challenge of creating a tropical scene complete with palms, boats, and a cocktail bar. Although she modestly described her set as being “quite successful,” she was invited to do several more in subsequent years.

Dated January 10, 1962, and on Palma de Mallorca letterhead, the present artwork includes a note to John Reiss from Joan Miró. In the note, Miró expresses thanks for a gift of beautiful paper and wishes Reiss a “bonne année.” Born in 1922, John Reiss was an internationally recognized designer who trained at Black Mountain College and began his career in New York. He ultimately made his mark in Milwaukee, his hometown, creating boldly simple exhibition catalogues for the Milwaukee Art Center (now the Milwaukee Art Museum). In addition to his design talent, Reiss began to collect art in the early 1950s, with the Milwaukee Art Center holding an exhibition of his collection in 1960. Earlier in 1960, Reiss had visited Europe and while there had a chance encounter with Miró on the island of Palma. The two struck up a friendship and traded letters over the next few years, including the present work. Reiss was photographed holding this letter, along with a second letter received from the artist, for a January 28, 1962, story in the Milwaukee Sentinel

An established and highly respected artist by 1962, Miró was well known for his playful, abstract artworks. Miró developed his unique style early on, using organic forms and flattened picture planes described by sharp lines. This style was influenced in varying degrees by the automatism and expression of the subconscious espoused by Surrealism and Dadaism, with which the artist was heavily involved. In the 1920s, Miró was described by the poet André Breton as the “most ‘surrealist’ of us all” (André Breton, Le surréalisme et la peinture, Brentano’s, New York, 1945, p. 68).

Although Miró embraced the imaginative liberties of Surrealism, he never fully rejected the pictorial, developing a complex set of signs and symbols that he used to great effect. The present work is a spirited example of the artist’s work. It expresses the artist’s signature style, balancing the spontaneity and automatism of Surrealism with a meticulousness that achieves a finished rendering. In the drawing, a humorous, loosely drawn face with a large nose looks to the left, above a pair of knobbly legs and feet. The primary colors have an invigorating effect and create a perfected, carefree, and energetic composition.

During the final years of his life, Paul Klee created a voluminous body of work, including Spreng-Holz (Explosive Wood), executed in 1938. Prior to this, in 1935, the artist was diagnosed with scleroderma, a rare skin disease that left him incapacitated. By 1937, Klee recovered enough to work while sitting at a large drawing table instead of painting in front of an easel. He completed a vast number of artworks, finishing 489 in 1938 alone, and over 1200 the following year. In a letter to his son Felix, the artist described his extraordinary creative output: “Productivity is accelerating in range and at a highly accelerated tempo; I can no longer entirely keep up with these children of mine. They run away with me. There is a certain adaptation taking place, in that drawings predominate. Twelve hundred items in 1939 is really something of a record performance” (Klee, quoted in F. Klee, Paul Klee: His Life and Work in Documents, New York, 1962, p. 72).

Artworks created during this extremely productive period display Klee’s singular pictorial language of simplified, abstract shapes and marks. As a child, he had been a musical prodigy, but gave up the violin to study art in Munich in 1898. While there, Klee became influenced by the Jugendstil’s ideas of higher spiritual realities beyond the visible world, which resulted in the development of his own complex artistic theories. In his 1920 essay, “Creative Confession,” the artist compared the creation of a work of art to a journey through space and thereby time, concluding, “The pictorial work sprang from movement, it is itself fixed movement and it is grasped by movement (eye muscles)” (Klee, “Schöpferische Konfession,” Tribüne der Kunst und Zeit, Berlin, 1920, pp. 34-35).

In Spreng-Holz, movement is generated through the undulating brown, black, and purple amorphous shapes. The artist has left the paper untouched by pigment to outline these shapes and placed a field of lavender that flows between the interstices. The lighter, pastel pigment makes the darker, free-form patches of color appear to float against the white of the paper. Through the use of multiple areas of colors, Klee has created structural rhythms that lead the eye continuously around the composition. With their irregular edges and painterly application, these forms also express the artist’s energetic, semi-automatic creativeness. The result captures Klee’s irrepressible spontaneity and vigor as he channeled his immense creativity near the end of his life.

Created from found scraps, Untitled (uviolett), c. 1926-28, is an excellent example of Kurt Schwitters’s MERZ-pictures, a series of collages that have become the most prominent works in his oeuvre. Schwitters referred to these collages as their own species and obsessed over the intricacies of their creation. The paper scraps – labels, advertisements, newspaper clippings, any manner of detritus – were placed in a way both complex and seemingly random, discarding any pretense of illusionistic hierarchy in the process.

Untitled (uviolett) references a snippet of a word found in the bottom right corner of the work, partially covered by another scrap of paper in careful layers. A brightly patterned scrap contrasts with the others, creating shadows and depth while toying with perspective. The viewers’ eyes are drawn to the text, trying to recognize what each piece was before it was collaged, and in this Schwitters succeeds: the ordinary has become art.

Upon his first discovery of collage, influenced by contemporaries Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Höch, and Jean Arp, formally trained Schwitters was overwhelmed with his newfound material freedom and struggled to find a term for his new imagery. The term Merz originated as organically as the found materials from which they were made: a shred of an advertisement clipping Schwitters used in one of his earliest creations was printed with the word Kommerz (commerce), and from there Merz emerged. Merz would eventually envelop Schwitters’ practice as he navigated the evolution of his Dadaist avant-garde assemblages.

The birth of Merz was inextricably linked to the harrowing conditions in Germany following World War I, as the country grappled with political, moral, and economic ruin. The materials he repurposed in his work were a practical but quiet commentary on commercial culture and the societal downfall from which he felt there was no escape. “Merz,” said Schwitters, “stands for freedom from all fetters, for the sake of artistic creation.”

Freedom in any sense became harder to maintain as the Second World War loomed. Though his career had progressed -- leading to opportunities such as his inclusion in two seminal exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art -- his aesthetic wasn’t appreciated by the Nazis, who deemed him a “degenerate.”

Schwitters fled to Norway, then was forced to the United Kingdom and a series of internment camps. He would continue compulsively making work for the rest of his life, with his predilection for found materials allowing him to create even in the most distressing circumstances. He was eventually released in 1941 and moved to London. Though a stroke in 1944 left him largely bedridden, his momentum never diminished, rather, he lived with a fervor and directed a new collaged construction project with financial support from the Museum of Modern Art, which was never completed.

Schwitters died in 1948, the day after receiving a long-sought-after American visa. A fastidious record keeper, his archives were unfortunately destroyed in an Allied bombing raid. This, combined with the limited commercial success received during his lifetime, further delayed the market’s appreciation for his contributions to Modernism and beyond. Posthumously referred to as the grandfather of both Pop art and Fluxus, Schwitters has been cited as an influence by artists including Ed Ruscha, Robert Rauschenberg, and Arman. Though the artist will never see it himself, the art world has also fallen under the spell of Merz

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS

Conditions of Sale

All bidders with Hindman LLC must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction.

Viewing Auction Items

It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Hindman LLC for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person.

Estimates

Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Condition Reports

We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Bidding at Auction

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction.

The standard bidding increments are:

In-House Bidding

Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid. Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.

Live Bid Online

Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com.

Absentee Bidding

If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. An absentee bid is the highest price you are willing to pay exclusive of buyer’s premium and applicable sales tax. Hindman LLC will exercise absentee bids at no additional charge. Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids.

Telephone Bidding

You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold.

Conditions of Sale

These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES

Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS

We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.

4. ESTIMATES

Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL

We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID

1. GENERAL

We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that:

(a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and

(c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation.

2. NEW BIDDERS

New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity.

(a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s

name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.

3. RETURNING BIDDERS

If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.

4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON

If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.

5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM

If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.

6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES

We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services.

(a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids.

(b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites.

(c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD

When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days.

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION

(a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION

The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER

The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES

Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION

1. THE BUYER’S

PREMIUM

In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots we charge twenty-six percent (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $1,000,001 up to and including $5,000,000; and fifteen percent (15%) of any amount in excess of $5,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium

2. TAXES

The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required.

3. MAKING PAYMENT

(a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date.

(b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name.

(c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways:

(i) Wire transfer.

(ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed.

(iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us.

(iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a

convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment.

(v) ACH Bank Transfer

(d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department.

4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU

You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you.

5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU

Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse.

6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY

If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion:

(a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due.

(b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation.

(c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount.

(d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law.

(e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller.

(f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids.

(g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us.

(h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.

7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE

(a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping.

(b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate.

(c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot.

(d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).

8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES

(a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot.

(b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be

91 FOR ADDITIONAL IMAGES AND LOT DETAILS VISIT HINDMANAUCTIONS.COM

responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES

For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY

Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows:

(a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty.

(b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type.

(c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified.

“Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty.

(d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice.

(e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion.

(f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot.

(g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else.

(h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must

(i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale.

(i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses.

(j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS

If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances:

(a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms:

(i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale.

(ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale.

(iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

4. JEWELRY

(a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time.

(b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report.

(c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report.

(d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS

(a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys.

(b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use.

(d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES

You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money

92 EUROPEAN ART

laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties.

(b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale.

(c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH.

(d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services.

(e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot.

(f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS

1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL

In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.

2. RECORDINGS

We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.

3. COPYRIGHT

We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights.

4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT
