AUCTIONEERS & APPRAISERS

Oscar & Barbara Leidenfrost

John Moran Auctioneers is honored to bring to market the Estate of Oscar & Barbara Leidenfrost. Oscar and Barbara were a Los Angeles couple who loved art, music, and travel and took pleasure in curating their home with items that represented their passions. Oscar came from a humble upbringing in Davenport, Iowa by Germanimmigrant parents who ran a local grocery store. He attended the University of Illinois School of Architecture, then started the successful Oscar E. Leidenfrost & Associates architectural firm. Barbara also grew up in the Midwest and then moved to New York to attend Vassar College. After graduation, she wanted to travel so she got a job working on a cruise ship. Her passion for traveling continued, and eventually lead her to start a travel agency in Beverly Hills that she ran for 20 years. The couple met in 1966 while Greek folk dancing in Hollywood (they were married 3 months later!). When they were not jet-setting around the world and collecting art along the way, the two loved being at home in a house that Oscar designed which he often referred to as his “masterpiece.”

Decades of traveling worldwide collecting art created a medley of museum-worthy treasures. Over time, their sophisticated and diverse collection showcased California art and design, highlighted by works from Ed Ruscha, Vija Celmins, Richard Wyatt Jr., Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama, Robert Longo, Adolph Gottlieb, and Edward Kienholz. Alongside up and coming and blue-chip artists are a bevy of design items like a series of wood-tur ned vessels, African baskets, masks, and fertility dolls, Georg Jensen silver, and furniture by the most sought-after designers including George Nelson, Mario Bellini, Charles and Ray Eames, Richard Schultz, Florence Knoll, Le Corbusier, Jonathan de Pas, and more.

The couple enjoyed over 45 years of marriage before Oscar passed away in 2012. Then, in 2022, Barbara passed away. The Leidenfrost collection is a swan song of the adventures and memories once enjoyed by the happy couple and, due to the proceeds of their items, will now benefit over a dozen non-profit organizations and educational institutions.

Notes: One of the enigmas of Oceanic music is the putorino, an instrument once made by the Maori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) that may have been played as a flute or as a trumpet. Carved from a block of matai wood (Podocarpus spicatus) to mimic a case moth’s (tungou ngou) cocoon, the putorino is formed by splitting the wood, hollowing the inside, and lashing it back together with vine. The putorino has a feminine voice representing the female ancestor Hineraukatauri, who personifies flute music.

In 1970, Jasper Johns created a series of seven prints with the publisher Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, California that was effectively a revisitation of the artist’s 1964 painting, titled “According to What.”

This expansive painting, measuring seven feet tall by sixteen feet wide, was created at what is arguably the apex of Jasper Johns’s career. Created by joining several canvases together, “According to What” is more accurately described as a mixed-media assemblage than simply a painting. Although the work includes painted areas that are instantly recognizable as the work of Jasper Johns, the artist also stenciled the names of colors vertically on the canvas before affixing a variety of found objects and cast body parts onto its surface. Twelve years after it was created, the art historian Patricia Kaplan authored an essay on the painting where she described it as “one of the artist’s most challenging and disturbing works” created to date.

This particular print, titled “Bent Stencil,” revisits the very center of Johns’s painting “According to What.” In the 1964 assemblage, Johns has enclosed ten circles of color within black, white, and grey squares before stacking them vertically from the top to the bottom of the expansive, multi-piece canvas. “Bent Stencil” reproduces three of these circles found at the bottom of the canvas, which effectively divides the composition of “According to What” in half. A notable distinction between the prints and the painting is Johns’s use of a muted, rather than brightly colored palette in this lithographic reprisal, “Blue Stencil.”

Other impressions from Johns’s “Fragment - According to What” lithographic series can be found in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Related artists include Chuck Close, Joseph Cornell, Jim Dine, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Philip Guston, Donald Judd, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Franz Kline, Roy Lichtenstein, Morris Louis, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, Frank Stella, Bob Thompson, and Cy Twombly.

“Pagosa Springs,” from the “Copper Series,” 1970 Lithograph and screenprint in color on paper Edition: 63/75

Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil in the lower right margin corner: F. Stella; Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, CA, pub., with the blindstamp Sheet: 16” H x 22” W

$1,200-1,800

Provenance: The Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost

Notes: Proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations and educational institutions.

Created in 1970, “Pagosa Springs” is one from a series of seven lithographs relating to the artist’s “Copper Series” of paintings created between 1960 and 1961.

Printed and published by Gemini G.E.L., each of these lithographs both revisit and reinterpret these iconic paintings from an early period of Stella’s career. Titled after mining towns found in the mountainous regions of Colorado, these prints are an homage to the region of the United States that was the nation’s primary source of copper and silver at the turn of the twentieth century.

From a technical perspective, each print from this series is relatively complex: these lithographs were created using several screens through which metallic paints and tinted varnishes were applied in order to create the final image. As such, each print from the “Copper Series” is much more than simply a reproduction of Stella’s iconic paintings. A full page in the Frank Stella catalogue raisonne of prints is dedicated to this particular print from the series, “Pagosa Springs.”

Other impressions of this print are held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Buffalo AKG Art Gallery, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

A large yellow shipping envelope from the Los Angeles County Museum, addressed to Barbara Leidenfrost, contains assorted materials from the museum, including black and white photographs of this lot, slides, and a letter stating that “enclosed are black-and-white photographs of the piece prior to treatment at the Wadsworth Atheneum and slides following treatment. The slides indicate the damage has been virtually removed,” signed by the registrar, Renee S. Montgomery, and dated June 27, 1990.

In 1978, Robert Longo created a series of works known as “Boys Slow Dance.” These three-dimensional sculptures were inspired by a scene from the 1953 noir film “Pickup on South Street.” “Swing,” one of the works from this series, is a cast aluminum wall relief in which two men dressed in suits are shown scuffling with one another.

One author, writing on this series of works, asked: are these images of two men “locked in... deadly combat? [or an] amorous embrace?” Longo’s sculpture is decidedly post-modern for its lack of fixed meaning, even when we know the referential source of this work.

Provenance: The Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost

Notes: Yoruba peoples have one of the highest incidents of twin births in the world. As a result, twins are regarded as extraordinary beings protected by Sango, the deity of thunder. They are believed to be capable of bestowing immense wealth upon their families or misfortune to those who do not honor them. Powerful spirits in life, twins are honored with carved memorial figures when they die. These figures, known as “ere ibeji” (literally meaning ere: sacred image; ibi: born; eji: two), remain a point of access to the spirit of the departed individual. The mother provides ritual care to the figures, bathing, dressing, adorning, and feeding them. Such daily handling is responsible for giving their surface its distinctive patina.

“Seven Sunflowers,” 1973 Oil on canvas

Signed and dated lower right: Tarmo Pasto; titled on a piece of brown paper affixed to the frame, verso 36” H x 30” W

$800-1,200

Notes: Tarmo Pasto, a noted psychologist and art professor, was also a prolific painter who frequently exhibited his works. Though he is perhaps best known for bringing attention to the work of one of his patients, the so-called Outsider artist Martin Ramirez, Pasto was a key figure in a circle of artists working in and around the Sacramento area during the post-war period. This loose coalition of artists, which includes figures such as Mel Ramos, Wayne Thiebaud, and Jack Ogden, is known for exhibiting their work at institutions such as the Crocker Art Museum which holds examples of Pastoís work in its permanent collection.

In 1986, four years after a retrospective was held at the Crocker Art Museum, Tarmo Pasto died and left behind a large body of work that has largely remained unseen by subsequent generations of viewers. John Moran Auctioneers is pleased to offer this work for sale for the very first time.

This lot is accompanied by a printed information sheet from the website of Tanya Baxter Contemporary Gallery (London, Hong Kong, Longford, Heathrow). It was found in the Leidenfrost files and may or may not relate to the exact impression of this Hockney lithograph offered here.

The textile and fashion designer Celia Birtwell has been the subject of a number of works by David Hockney, the earliest dating to 1968. A close friend of the artist, Birtwell regularly traveled from the United Kingdom to Los Angeles to visit Hockney who had a tradition of creating a portrait of her upon each arrival.

Created at the Gemini G.E.L. workshop, which was located at 8365 Melrose Avenue in Hollywood in 1973, Hockney’s print is as much a portrait as it is a document of the exact moment he created it. Hanging on the wall behind Celia is a print of a mountain, “Snow” from Hockney’s “Weather” series,” also completed in 1973.

Other impressions of this print are held in the collections of the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center in Milaukee, the Morgan Library, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

“Red Ground Maroon Disc,” 1966

Screenprint in colors on paper

Edition: 38/50

Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil in the lower margin: Adolph Gottlieb; titled, dated, and numbered again on a gallery label affixed to the frame’s backboard

Image: 20” H x 15” W; Sheet: 24” H x 18” W

$2,000-4,000

Provenance: Marlborough Graphics Gallery, New York, NY

Property from the Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost

Notes: Proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations and educational institutions.

The Marlborough Graphics Gallery label affixed to the frame’s backboard includes a black ink notation that reads, Mr. Julian Ganz, Jr.

Beginning in 1957, Adolph Gottlieb began creating a series of work that later became known as his “Burst” series. Each of these works show two spheres: one of which is relatively uniform in shape, hovering above another that appears to have burst suddenly - and violently - apart.

The Abstract Expressionist movement emerged in New York City in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Gottlieb, like all of his contemporaries, shared a collective fear of nuclear annihilation in the years that followed the use of nuclear weapons against Japan in 1945.

While some art historians have described the two spheres found in Gottlieb’s “Burst” series as representing the sun, which remains uniform in shape as a nuclear weapon explodes beneath it, alternate interpretations for this imagery have also been put forth. One alternate interpretation of this imagery is closely tied to the ideas of the philosopher Carl Gustav Jung, which suggests that the hovering sphere represents the dominance of reason above the more mercurial element of the human mind: the unconscious. Both readings remain possible, as Gottelieb - along with the artist Mark Rothko - wrote in a 1943 letter published in the New York Times that they “favour[ed] the simple expression of the complex thought.”

Other impressions of this print are held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Edward Ruscha

(b. 1937)

“Boiling Blood, Fly,” 1969 Lithograph in colors on wove paper

An artist’s proof aside from the edition of only 20 Signed, dated, and inscribed in pencil along the lower margin edge: E. Ruscha; Tamarind Lithograph Workshop, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, prntr./pub., and with their blindstamps; annotated Calendered Rives and with the workshop number 2548 in pencil, verso Image: 8” H x 9.875” W; Sheet: 11.875 x 13.625

$8,000-12,000

Provenance: The Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost

Notes: Proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations and educational institutions.

In 1969, Ed Ruscha was invited to create a series of prints with the Los Angeles-based Tamarind Lithography Workshop. Established in 1960 by the artist June Wayne, the workshop was established with the intention of bringing greater attention to the possibilities of lithography as a printmaking medium with funding from the Ford Foundation.

“Boiling Blood,” a lithograph in colors on paper, was created in a small edition of only twenty impressions; this particular image is an artist’s proof aside from the regular edition. Dating to an early period in the artist’s career, “Boiling Blood” is a notable example of Ruscha’s early experimentation with the lithography medium.

Other impressions from this edition can be found in the collections of the Norton Simon Museum, The Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., the Yale University Art Gallery, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Related artists include John Anthony Baldessari, Robert Barry, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Mel Bochner, Robert Cottingham, Jim Dine, Charles Gaines, David Hockney, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Moses, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg, Richard Pettibone, Larry Rivers, Kay Rosen, James Rosenquist, Kenny Scharf, Frank Stella, Wayne Thiebaud, Lawrence Weiner, and Tom Wesselmann.

He works in the lakeside town of Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, along with his wife, Beatriz Ortega Ruiz, also an artisan in her own right. Maque is a preHispanic lacquering technique which Mario Agustin Gaspar prefers, but more modern lacquering, called “laca” is done at the workshop, mostly by Ortega Ruiz. She draws her designs from memory, most of which are traditional, but she has a few of her own invention.

A Yoruba “Apa Ifa” diviner’s beaded leather and cloth bag

Early/mid-20th Century, Yoruba Peoples, Nigeria, Africa

The shadowbox-framed bag with three beaded mask motifs, two red and one yellow and black chevron-patterned, each representing various deities, on the front flap; all framed by a green beaded ground and floral and geometric motifs in red and yellow beads, terminating in three yellow beaded tassels

In frame: 18.625” H x 19.25” W x 5” D

$300-500

Provenance: Property of the American Broadcasting Company, New York Walt Disney Co., Burbank, California, acquired by corporate merger with the above Private Collection, Los Angeles, California, acquired from the above

Notes: A Yoruba diviner (babalawo) would have carried this beaded leather bag to transport divining implements during his travels. The bag is used by a diviner to carry the set of sixteen palm nuts (ikin), the divining chain (opele), and other ritual accessories. In fact, diviners, who lead a peripatetic lifestyle, are commonly known as “carriers of bags” (akapo). This bag’s beadwork calls upon many different deities for protection: green and yellow beads refer to Ifa (the Yoruba system of divination); red faces to the god Ogun; and a chevron pattern to the god Sango. The floral pattern, however, marks the influence of Victorian textiles - present during the period of British colonialism - on Yoruba design.

Tarmo Pasto (1906-1986)

Horse in rolling hills Oil on canvas

Signed lower center: Tarmo Pasto 22” H x 48” W

$1,000-1,500

Notes: Tarmo Pasto, a noted psychologist and art professor, was also a prolific painter who frequently exhibited his works. Though he is perhaps best known for bringing attention to the work of one of his patients, the so-called Outsider artist Martin Ramirez, Pasto was a key figure in a circle of artists working in and around the Sacramento area during the post-war period. This loose coalition of artists, which includes figures such as Mel Ramos, Wayne Thiebaud, and Jack Ogden, is known for exhibiting their work at institutions such as the Crocker Art Museum which holds examples of Pastoís work in its permanent collection.

In 1986, four years after a retrospective was held at the Crocker Art Museum, Tarmo Pasto died and left behind a large body of work that has largely remained unseen by subsequent generations of viewers. John Moran Auctioneers is pleased to offer this work for sale for the very first time.

$300-500

Notes: ‘At the age of six or seven, a Bontoc lad put on his sulpak, the small bowl-shaped hat or flattened pillbox, which by its appendages and decorations recorded his progress through society. When he was old enough to go headhunting, the girls in the ulogs (dormitories for maidens) gave him dogsí teeth and boarsí tusks to stick on the sides of his hat. He sewed slabs of pearl shell on the sides of covered the top with agate beads and added bunches of feathers on special occasions. Traditionally there were from one to three mother-of-pearl buttons on the crown of the bowl-shaped hat, and tufts of animal hair stuck up at each side over the three or four turns of red-dyed rattan which trimmed the edge. But when a man married, he put on a sober, less fancy hat; only bachelors or men between wives wore gaudy headgear.’ - Rith Linker for Penn Museum’s “Expedition” Vol. 4 Issue 1, pub. 1961

Mid-20th century; Karumba Peoples, Burkina Faso, Africa

Paper label affixed to the Lucite stand: Acquired on 7/15/81 from Museum of African Art / Karumba Sculpture (Upper Volta)

The antelope mask with attenuated proportions and cylindrical neck hollowed at the base, tiny pierced eyeholes and equalinterval holes at the perimeter for the attachment to raffia; decorated all-over with bands of diamond and dot motifs in black, white and red pigments; mounted onto a metal rod embedded in Lucite for display

$500-700

Provenance: Property of 21st Century Fox / Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., New York; Walt Disney Co., Burbank, California, acquired by corporate merger with the above; Private Collection, Los Angeles, California, acquired from the above

Notes: This is a ceremonial headdress worn by the Karumba peoples of central Burkina Faso. Early examples of this mask such as this one are painted with geometric designs in natural pigments of white (kaolin), black (river mud or charcoal), and reddish brown (ochre). The headdress represents - according to the original myth - Sawadougou, the civilizing hero, who is said to have descended from the sky wearing a mask. His wife and children, who accompanied him, were endowed with the features of the antelope, the hyena, and the hare. Kurumba masks are used in three major events during the annual cycle: masks escort the body of dead male and female elders to the tomb and supervise the burial on behalf of the spirits of the ancestors of the clan. Weeks or even months later, during the dry season, masks appear at funerals to honor the deceased and to free the spirit to travel to the world of ancestors. Finally, just before the first rains in late May and June, masks appear at collective sacrifices in which the ancestors are honored together with the spirits of the protective antelope, Hippotragus koba, that is the totem of most Kurumba clans.

Notes: Joe Fig is a multi-media American artist and is best known for his use of visual culture to explore the creative process. Some of his early work brought attention to the artist’s space, therefore, he started creating reproductions/ miniature replicas of the spaces that prominent artists inhabited. Specifically, for this lot, the workspace that has been replicated and photographed is, Vincent van Gogh’s bedroom, where he is most likely reading over the letter’s between him and his brother Theo.

AUCTION HOUSE AS AGENT

Conditions of Sale

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.

ADDITIONAL MATTERS

(a) Copyright: The copyright on all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Moran's for this auction is and shall remain at all times the property of Moran's. 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.
