However, the image itself is created from the traditional Japanese characters for “moon” and “light.” Additionally, the Japanese calligraphy affixed to the verso of the frame, when read vertically as intended, says the same thing.

Yngve Holen

(b. 1982, German) “It’s your Prada dress and you have a little ...u always look at it. Shit, that’s my Prada dress. So I fix that,” 2015 Plastic, fabric, and steel Appears unsigned 69.75” H x 73” W x 14.25” D $12,000-18,000 Provenance: Private Collection, New York, NY Holen’s oeuvre explores industrial objects and materials in unusual contexts and scales. Despite the intentional absence of handcraftsmanship or a visible human element, his sculptures frequently evoke the body, often in relation to technology. The present example has a bewildering title alluding to the female form and yet it is utterly incongruous with the curious, sizable metal segment presented before the viewer. In addition to his artmaking practice, Holen founded a magazine, ETOPS (an acronym for “Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards”). The second installation of the publication featured extensive interviews with plastic surgeons and porn professionals in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Monaco. His peculiar title is in fact derived from one such dialogue. Shiny, sleek and divorced from function, the object is both mysterious and formally compelling. Resident in Berlin, Holen exhibits his work widely.

Los Angeles, California The Blake Byrne Collection acquired from the above Literature: https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/ white-rectangles-devil-in-details/2296 Shaw’s versatile oeuvre includes drawings, sculptures, prints, and photographs that often blur traditional categorization. He derives influence from Pop Art, Neo-Expressionism, and Surrealism while likewise dismantling traditional notions of high and low art by incorporating outsider influences. Cake (Blake) is one of several in his series of men in a seemingly tortured mental state and set against an abstract background. It is a dual painting moment with a second canvas (identical to the blank shape found in the larger canvas) depicting cake icing in grayscale color. When asked to describe how his fascination with the subconscious informs his artwork, Shaw explains: “I’ve figured out that the core of dream logic is that it’s an occult way of telling you something by not just lecturing you directly, but by showing you in a satirical way or a symbolic way with things that are formally similar but not exactly the same.”

The “Chaffey College” Apple-1 personal computer The year 2021 marks the 45th birthday for Apple. The worldís largest technology company is currently valued in the trillion-dollar range, and it all began with two Steveís, one garage, and Apple Computer 1, more commonly referred to as Apple-1. The company was created in 1976 when electronic engineer Steve Wozniak (b. 1950) teamed up with marketing guru and industrial designer Steve Jobs (1955-2011). John Moran Auctioneers is thrilled to give tech lovers the opportunity to own one of the few remaining Apple-1 Computers. 200 Apple-1 computers were designed by Steve Wozniak and assembled and tested by Steve Jobs, Patti Jobs (his sister), and Daniel Kottke in the Jobs’ home. 175 of them were sold for $666.66, a figure that catered to Wozniakís love of repeating numbers. 50 of the 175 computers were sold to Paul Terrell, owner of ByteShop in Mountain View, California. When Jobs delivered the 50 Magazine boxes each containing an Apple-1 kit, Paul Terrell was not happy. He anticipated 50 all-in-one units that could simply be plugged in by the consumer, an unheard-of concept at the time. Jobs defended his delivery by pointing out that each box included all necessary elements to compose the machine and further convinced Terrell that ByteShop could make a profit by selling keyboards, monitors, and power supplies within their store as an opportunity to upsell the product. The wooden case that houses this computer is made from Koa wood. In the 1970s, Koa wood was abundant and easily accessible, especially on the west coast because it was native to Hawaii, but due to cattle grazing and extensive logging, the Koa tree is now considered much rarer and more expensive. There are only six known examples of the Koa wood case in existence, and this unit is one of them. The Apple-1 Computer on offer has only had two owners. It was originally purchased by an electronics professor at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, who then sold it to his student in 1977. This Apple-1 has recently undergone an extensive authentication, restoration, and evaluation process by one of the foremost experts in the field, who inspected all components and generated a full condition report for the Apple-1. The lot is accompanied by a bound copy of the professional authentication and condition report and a proof of life DVD. This computer will be included in the official registry of Apple-1 computers by the name “Chaffey College Apple-1.”

Leon Bronstein

(b. 1951, Israeli) “Central Forward” Patinated bronze on steal base Edition 1/8; signed in the casting 14” H x 74” W x 18” D $4,000-6,000 Notes: This form was made in two sizes, this being the medium (and smallest) size. Leo Bronstein is known for distorted bronze figures engaged in sport. In “Central Forward,” he depicts the moment of inevitability, as the athlete makes contact with the ball. The long, lean lines of the player are lengthened and exaggerated, lending the feeling of promise that cannot be avoided as the ball’s destination can be non-other than the winning goal. His sculpture style is in direct contrast to his rather severe early education and life. His studies led him to become an engineer and watchmaker in Moldavia. However, it was not until his move to Israel that his artistic drive would alter his life path and allow him to embrace these early childhood fantasies and bring them to life.

Marvin Gaye “Monster” Chetwynd

(b. 1973, English) “Medusa,” 2018 Wood, cardboard, paper, latex, paint, and metal Appears unsigned 98.125” H x 33.125” W x 38.25” D $10,000-15,000 Provenance: Sadie Coles HQ, London, England The Blake Byrne Collection, acquired from the above Born Alalia Chetwynd, the artist is known by several unlikely monikers: Spartacus, Monster and Marvin Gaye Chetwynd. Her work frequently merges performance, installation, and video with painting and sculpture. Monster Chetwynd’s oeuvre centers on reprising culturally significant myths, legends, and traditions. In the present example, she examines the ancient story of Medusa, a beautiful woman transformed into a serpent-haired demon as divine retribution. Perhaps her keen interest in reimagining this tale of woman-turned-monster is connected to her chosen namesake. Interestingly, while the figure stands over 8 feet tall, Monster Chetwynd’s “Medusa” is menacing only in its scale. In keeping with a reoccurring theme in her oeuvre, Monster invites the viewer to reconsider typical portrayals of the subject in favor of recasting the legend anew for a presentday audience. Her version of Medusa includes the infamous snake hair but lacks the frightening grimace traditionally associated with her depiction in western art. As if popping out of an abstracted jack-in-the-box, hand-crank and all, Chetwynd’s Medusa also possesses an unexpected element of whimsy. The myth of Medusa has origins in ancient Greece but is most famously recounted in Ovid’s “Metamorphoses,” a seminal text by the Roman poet written in the early first century CE. In 2012, Monster Chetwynd was nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize. She exhibits widely and internationally and Chetwynd’s work is held in institutions inclusive of the Tate in London.

Pavel Tchelitchew

(1898-1957, Russian/American) Jesus visiting souls in Purgatory Oil on sturdy wove paper under Plexiglas Signed lower right: P. Tchelitchew Image/Sheet: 27.5” H x 37” W $20,000-30,000 Pavel Tchelitchew (1898-1957) was a Russian born American artist whose most notable work, “Hideand-Seek” is part of the permanent collection in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He was well-traveled and spent time in the Odessa, Berlin, and Paris before moving to New York City with his then new, but ultimately long-time partner, poet Charles Henri Ford. Tchelitchew was associated with several movements including Neo-Romanticism, Surrealism, Futurism, and Constructivism but his artistic career also encompassed ballet, set design and costume design. Regardless of the movement, Tchelitchew’s work tends to find its roots in Surrealism and hover in a ghostly dream state. Those attributes are seen clearly in this example, “Jesus visiting souls in Purgatory.” Although Tchelitchew is not known as a printmaker, there is a monotype-like appearance to his handling of the thinned-down oil paint in certain areas such as the figures at left, the staircase and so on.

Conditions of Sale AUCTION HOUSE AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated, John Moran Auctioneers Moran's) acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer. BEFORE THE AUCTION (a) Public Preview: All property is available for inspection by public preview during the day of auction. In many cases, particular lots can be examined in advance by private appointment. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to personally examine any property in which they are interested. (b) Buyer's Responsibility: Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction. (c) Property Sold 'As Is': Neither Moran's nor the seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property, or to any errors or omissions in the catalogue or supplemental material apart from the Limited Warranty stated below. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply than an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. AT THE AUCTION (a) Admission: The auction is open to the public, though Moran's reserves the right to refuse admission or participation to anyone at any time. The auctioneer may be recorded (visually, aurally or otherwise) and all participants consent to such recording. (b) Buyer Registration: Prospective buyers must register with Moran's before bidding. Moran's may require identification and financial references in advance of buyer eligibility. Registered bidders accept personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium plus all applicable charges, unless Moran's agrees in advance that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Moran's. In such case, Moran's will look to the third party for payment. (c) Bidding Guidelines: Bidding, whether in person, by agent, absentee bid, telephone, or internet, constitutes a bidder's acceptance of these conditions. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer retains the absolute right to reject any bid, to withdraw, pass or divide any lots, to combine multiple lots, to advance the bidding at his or her absolute discretion and (in the case of error or dispute, whether during or after the sale) to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, cancel the sale or to re-offer and sell the lot in question. Under no circumstances are the consignors' or agents acting on their behalf, permitted to bid on their consignment. In the event of any dispute after the auction Moran's sale record shall be conclusive. (d) Absentee, Telephone and Internet Bidding: Moran's offers absentee, telephone and internet bidding as a convenience to clients and does not accept liability for errors or failures to execute such bids. Absentee and telephone bids must be recognized by Moran's prior to auction day. When identical absentee bids are submitted that become the highest bids at the auction, the bid first received by Moran's shall be accepted as the winning bid. Telephone bidders are encouraged to leave minimum bids in case of technical failure. (e) Reserves: Unless indicated otherwise, lots may be offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve for any lot shall not exceed its published estimate. Moran's shall act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer, who may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on the seller's behalf. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the reserve amount, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Lots without reserves are typically opened for bidding at 50% of their low estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his discretion or deem the lot unsold if a bid is not recognized. AFTER THE AUCTION (a) Payment and Title Transfer: The buyer agrees to pay the sum of the hammer price plus Buyer's Premium, plus any applicable sales tax. Buyer's Premium is calculated as follows: 25% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 18% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 15% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer. Successful bidders using Live Auctioneers platform will be charged a Buyer’s Premium of: 30% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 23% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 20% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer. Credit card payments will be subject to an additional 3.5% acceptance fee. This fee is not more than the cost of accepting these cards. Buyers outside the United States must submit payment via wire transfer. Credit cards are not an accepted form of payment for buyers outside the United States. Buyers are strongly encouraged to provide full payment at the auction. Payment must be received by Moran's within five business days immediately following the auction. The buyer shall not acquire title or take possession of the lot until all amounts (including the hammer price, premium and applicable taxes) due to Moran's have been paid in full. (b) Collection: Buyers are strongly encouraged to collect purchased items from the sale site at the time of the auction. Packing material and labor are provided free of charge at the sale site during the auction. Packing and handling of purchased lot is undertaken by Moran's solely as a convenience to customers. Moran's is not liable for damage to property, regardless of cause, in connection with this courtesy service (c) Storage: Following the auction, uncollected lots shall be relocated to and stored in Moran's warehouse. Moran's shall retain possession of all purchases until full payment has been received from the buyer. Lots remaining uncollected after the fifth business day following the sale, regardless of payment status, are subject to a per-lot daily storage charge of $10.00. In addition to other remedies available by law, Moran's reserves the right to impose upon delinquent buyers a separate 1% monthly charge (of the


purchase price, or the maximum permitted by law) commencing on the sixth business day after the sale date. (d) Shipping: Buyers are responsible for arranging their own shipping estimates and deliveries. Moran's in our discretion and as a courtesy to buyers, can arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded by a third-party shipper at the request, expense and risk of the buyer. Moran's assumes no responsibility for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by other packers or carriers, even if recommended by Moran's. Nor does Moran's assume any responsibility for any damage to picture frames or to the glass therein. In circumstances where Moran's arranges for such third-party services, Moran's may apply an administration charge of 15% of that service fee. (e) All Sales Final: Notwithstanding other terms mentioned herein, refunds shall be given at Moran's sole discretion. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be made within 10 days of the auction and accompanied by a supporting written statement from a recognized authority (defined as a person who has authored, edited, or substantially contributed to a monograph on the artist, a person who has curated, organized or substantially contributed to a solo exhibition on the artist, a person who has represented the artist's estate or someone who represented or worked closely with the artist while they were alive and, in any of the above instances physically handled works of the period, medium and subject matter in question during the course of their duties) stating that the object sold is incorrect or not the work of the artist. Dealers, appraisers and representatives of other auction firms do not qualify as authenticators of individual artists unless they have had such specific involvement with that artist's work, as specified above, in addition to their daily duties. Refunded lots must be returned to Moran's in the same condition as when sold. Moran's does not grant extensions to refund considerations based upon authenticity due to shipping delays. There are no exceptions to this refund policy. LIABILITY AND LIMITED WARRANTY (a) Liability: The buyer expressly agrees that (i) neither Moran's nor the seller shall be liable, in whole or in part, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits and (ii) the buyer's damages, if any, are limited exclusively to the original purchase price paid for the lot. (b) Limited Warranty: All property is sold as is. Neither Moran's nor the consignor or our associates make any representation, express or implied warranty (including merchantability and fitness) or guarantee in condition, age, size, provenance, medium, signature, inscription, exhibition history, importance, rarity, country of origin, genuineness, historical relevance, monetary or other value, framing or lack thereof, mounting, conservation, coloring, palette, inscription, edition, style, label or other descriptor. No statement in the catalogue, brochures, website, bill of sale or invoice, any supplementary material, or statements by any Moran's employee shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. (c) Descriptions: No warranty, whether express or implied, is made with respect to any description contained in this auction or any second opinion. Any description of the items or second opinion is for the courtesy of identifying the items for those Bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots in person, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the transaction or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the Auctioneer. Color variations can be expected in any electronic or printed imaging and are not grounds for the return of any lot. (d) Estimates: All estimates provided are carefully considered opinions of Moran's specialists, and are merely suggested guidelines for interested buyers. Buyers must be aware that all property sold is subject to fluctuating values depending on the subjective interests of collectors and a wide variety of other uncontrollable factors. The lots auctioned may sell at prices above, within, or below estimate. (e) Regulated Species: Lots with a "◊" symbol in the printed or digital catalog, or noted within the condition report of a lot, may contain regulated plant or animal materials and could be subject to certain import or export restrictions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and obtain any required import or export permits / licenses. The inability to obtain any such document(s) is not grounds for requesting a refund nor does it negate the buyer from making full payment for their purchase. (f) Notices, Demands and Refunds: Any demands for refunds, problems with the lot(s) sold or notices of any kind concerning the auction shall be in writing and addressed to John Moran Auctioneers, Inc, 145 East Walnut Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016.

Moran's and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to a purchased lot. (b) Buyer's Breach of Conditions: If a buyer fails to comply with any of these conditions, Moran's may, in addition to asserting all remedies available by law, including the right to hold that buyer liable for the purchase price, (i) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer, (ii) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately upon notice to the buyer, or (iii) take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate. If Moran's resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency between the original sale price and any subsequent mitigation sale, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorney's fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder. In the event that such buyer pays a portion of the purchase price for any property, Moran's shall apply the payment received to such property that Moran's in our sole discretion, deems appropriate. Moran's shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code adopted in the State of California. (c) Severability: Should any of these conditions be deemed unenforceable, invalid or illegal in any court having jurisdiction, that part shall be discounted and shall have no effect on the enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, which shall remain valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. (d) Jurisdiction: The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these conditions and the conduct of the auction shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of California. By bidding, whether in person or by agent, by absentee bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer shall be deemed to have consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of California or, if applicable, the federal courts sitting in this state. Further, the buyer agrees that the venue for any action arising out of the failure to abide by these conditions, or any conduct related to or arising out of the auction, shall be the Los Angeles Superior Court, North East Branch located at 600 Olive Street, Burbank, California.
