SINCE 1969
AUCTIONEERS & APPRAISERS
This summer Made in Mexico sale will feature a large selection of artworks collected by Carolyn J. Adrian
of South Pasadena, California. As a student in Mexico City in the 1960s, she purchased her first piece of artwork that would inspire her collection for the next six decades. Her time spent in school sparked a love for travel and Mexican art. After working for several years in the U.S. in the international banking field, she transferred to Chase Manhattan Bank’s Representative Office in Mexico. Given the office was located in an area of the city with a concentration of fine art galleries, her collecting began in earnest. Sound advice from a prominent gallery owner to focus her collection, not try to be everything to everyone, and acquire the best affordable was central to her collection. As travel and business took her to South America, she added works from other countries along with the beginnings of a folk art collection. When Cuba opened to U.S. travel, she realized a life-long dream to visit Havana. As the Island is small many in respects, she made contact with many artists. These contacts developed into lasting friendships along with an extensive collection of contemporary Cuban art. Traveling, meeting with the artists themselves, and patronizing their studios throughout Mexico, Cuba, Central, and South America as well as those of the Los Angeles Latino community, Adrian amassed a noteworthy collection that Moran’s is proud to bring to market. From Francisco Toledo to Frank Romero, Adrian’s collection is diverse in its artists’ representations and the stories each chose to tell.

Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA Notes: The variant titled for this screenprint is “Crossroads School at Santa Monica Airport” Throughout his 40-year career as an artist, Frank Romero has been a dedicated member of the Los Angeles arts community. As a member of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four, Romero and fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto de la Rocha and Gilbert Lujan, helped to define and promote the new awareness of La Raza through murals, publications and exhibitions. Los Four’s historic 1974 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the country’s first show of Chicano art at a major art institution. Since then, Romero has successfully balanced a career in both the public and private arenas. He has completed over 15 murals throughout the city, and was a key contributor to the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival with “Going to the Olympics,” a large-scale mural which adorns one of Los Angeles’ busiest freeways (Highway 101). Romero has shown extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan. Notable exhibitions include: “Chicanarte”(L.A. Municipal Gallery), “Hispanic Art in the United States” (Corcoran Gallery, Washington D.C. and national tour), “Le Demon des Anges” (Nantes, France; Barcelona,Spain; Lund Sweden and Brussels, Belgium), and “American Kaleidoscope” (National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.). His work is featured in many permanent collections, including the National Museum of Art in Washington D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Carnegie Museum in Oxnard, CA. Francisco Romero was a recipient of the prestigious 2001/2001 COLA Award Grant. Romero’s works can be seen at the Patricia Correia Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica and his newly created 44’ mural, The L.A. River, is currently on display at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles’ L.A.: Light/Motion/Dreams exhibition.

Luis Enrique Camejo
(b. 1971, Cuban) “Garage,” 2004 Watercolor on paper Signed and dated lower left: L.E. Camejo; titled by repute Sheet: 22.25” H x 30.25” W $1,500-2,000 Provenance: The Carolyn J. Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA Notes: Luis Enrique Camejo (born January 19, 1971 in Pinar del R”o) is a Cuban contemporary painter who won several prizes, including the First Place Prize in the V Painting Contest Nicomedes Garc”a Gomezin in 2003. Camejo currently lives and works in Havana, Cuba. Luis completed his studies in the field of Plastic Arts. From 1982 to1986, Luis Enrique Camejo attended the lessons of the Pinar del R”o School of Arts, before entering the National Art School in Havana from 1986 to 1990. He graduated from the Superior Art Institute of Havana (ISA) in 1996. Since 1996, Luis teaches Plastic Arts at the Superior Art Institute of Havana. Luis Enrique Camejo’s favorite themes are the relationship between man and his environment-especially urban environment at night. These themes are materialized by lights and color effects such as blurring or dripping in order to evoke the speed of modern times. Camejo is a member of the Cuban Artists and Writers Organization. He’s interested in the fleeting, immediate relationship of man with his environment. Although Camejo’s cities present images reminiscent of parts of Havana, they are always cosmopolitan, pluralistic places. Camejo is fascinated by capturing the movement and dynamic of the city. Cars, bicycles, buses and passers-by seem to be always on the move. His cities are always frenzied. They don’t invite us to peace and quiet but to take part in the nomadic life of the great urban jungle.

Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA Notes: Kadir Lopez Nieves was born 1972 in Las Tunas, a provincial Cuban town. Lopez overlays “remaindered” 1950’s American signage with translucent images to capture, preserve and convey his take on post-1950’s historical events and anecdotes. The results are multidimensional creations bound in the context of time and influence with a unique blend of homeland relic and memory. The signs are old, battered, and on occasion even have bullet holes. Kadir then paints, draws, or prints historic images of Cuba onto the worn signs, purposely utilizing ceramic paints, resins or enamels to create transparent images that float on top, instead of concealing the image. His watercolors here, have environmental and political imagery, keeping with his motivation for his work to continue commentary on free will, adolescence, and more. Kadir Lopez Nieves currently lives and works in Cuba.

Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA Notes: Abel Barroso, born in 1971 in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, is an exquisite young artist who has been rapidly gaining international recognition for his art which combines printmaking and sculpture in biting and humorous commentary on contemporary Cuban life. Using meticulous craftsmanship, he creates playful works that often invite the viewer to interact. The Third World Internet Cafe, Barroso’s memorable installation at the 7th Havana Biennial last November, featured computers fashioned out of wood and paper and hand-cranked by the viewer. Residents of Tampa Bay had an opportunity to see Barroso’s work in the exhibition Contemporary Art in Cuba: Survival and Irony on the Utopian Island, at the USF Contemporary Art Museum in 2001. Barroso currently lives and works in Havana, Cuba.

Gerazo’s work represents a new direction in Mexican painting at the mid-twentieth century. A pioneering form of abstraction, it provides that Surrealism in exile in Mexico was as crucial to the development of Gerzo’s painting as it was for the New York Abstract Expressionists. His paintings exemplify the shift inward among international vanguard artists like Gottlieb, Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Mark Rothko to a new focus on the self and on myth, psychoanalysis, and indigenous art of the Americas.” Curator Diana du Pont, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, LA Times interview, 2003

Ricardo Martinez de Hoyos (1918-2009, Mexican)
R
icardo Martínez de Hoyos was a Mexican painter born to a large family in Mexico City comprising of 16 siblings, five of whom would pursue a career in fields related to the fine arts. From a very young age, he had to earn an income by painting to help his family. His knowledge of painting was self-taught. He learned from research books, of which Max Doerner’s “The Materials of the Artist” stands out. His 1934 English language edition of the book revealed him the secrets of the technique. Ricardo Martínez de Hoyos then had the support of Federico Cantú, who took him to InÈs Amor’s Gallery of Mexican Art, where he was allowed to sell his paintings and learn new techniques and styles by 1940. His first works were still-life paintings, followed by non-narrative monumental figures related to Pre-Colombian sculpture. He had his first art exhibit in Guadalajara, Jalisco in 1942. His works were among the “Master Works of Mexican Art” exhibit sent to several European countries and the United States between 1961 and 1963. At the end of the 1960s, Martínez created surreal atmospheres in his works by using light and shadow. In 1971, he received the Moinho Santista Award at the Sao Paulo Art Biennial. Among his most important art exhibits, his work was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City in 1969 and 1974, and at the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City in 1984 and 1994. Martínez passed away in January 2009 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA Notes: Born in Juchitán, Oaxaca in 1940, Francisco Toledo spent his childhood between Juchitán and Minatitl·n, Veracruz. As a young man, Francisco Toledo followed his father into the jungles of Oaxaca on wild animal hunts. Later, he moved to Mexico where he took up the trade of lithography from the engraving workshops at the local School of Arts and Crafts. In 1959, after developing his craft, Toledo exhibited his works at Antonio Souza’s gallery in Mexico and at the Forth Worth Art Center in Texas. These early years informed the artist he would become. “Toledo is the art of shamanism,” Christopher Goodwin of The Guardian wrote in 2000, “in which people are transformed into beasts and animals and may take on human characteristics.” President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico announced the death on Twitter, calling Mr. Toledo “a true defender of nature, customs, and traditions of our people.” While he preferred anonymity, his service to cultural preservation and celebration of traditional imagery gained him national acclaim. His first one-man show at 19 years set the stage for his travels to Paris where he was supported by poet Octavio Paz and the painter Rufino Tamayo. Toledo’s fascination with the metaphors of indigenous animals as symbols of Mexican history and mythology abound in his art. He settled definitively in Mexico in 1967.

Enrique Tabara
(1930-2021, Equador) “Paseantes en la Calle,” 1983-84 Oil on prepared canvas Signed and dated lower left: Tabara ‘83; signed and dated again: E. Tabara ‘84, and titled, verso 43” H x 43” W $1,000-2,000 Provenance: The Carolyn J. Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA Notes: The thick, distinct forms depicted across the surface of this painting suggest that Tabara may have used an encaustic technique to create it. Tabara studied at the Escuela Artes in Guayaquil from 1946-1951 where he studied with Luis Martinez Serrano. In 1955 he received a grant to go to Spain, where he lived until 1964. He first used Expressionism as a reaction against Indigenism. He started the Equadorian artist group VAN against the influence of Indigenism. Tabara’s work was central to the Latin American movement, which began to abandon social realism in the 1950’s. In his early work he painted characters on the margins of society in a hard and grotesque manner. Tabara first exhibited in the United States at the OAS in 1954. From 1953 he started to experiment with abstraction, and in the 1960’s he constructed a language of magical and mythical connotations derived from Pre-Columbian calligraphy and Surrealism. His work from this period is rich in texture, combining elements glued to the canvas, serial calligraphy and telluric forms. In 1969 he began to search for new signs, notably feet and legs (his pata-pata motif) and from 1985 he revitalized his use of color and added leafy vegetation to the feet and legs in his quest to create morphologies compatible with the mythical culture of American man. Tabara has exhibited worldwide.- Carolyn Adrian

Guillermo Bert
(b.1959, Chilean) “The Price of Heaven,” 2006, from the “Bar Code Series” Mixed media/laser cutter on wood panel with gold leaf under plexiglas Signed and dated on the back mat lower left: Guillermo Bert Panel: 47.5” H x 16” W $3,000-5,000 Provenance: The Carolyn J. Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA Notes: This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the artist on September 20, 2008. Guillermo Bert’s work has been exhibited in the United States as well as South America and is included in the collections of numerous museums. He is the recipient of many awards and grants and has been commissioned to create several public artworks. Recently Bert participated in several important exhibitions at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, CA, the San Diego Museum of Art in San Diego, CA, the Fowler Museum at UCLA, the Museum of Tolerance, and the Architectural Design Museum both in Los Angeles. In the last few years, he has also had solo exhibitions at Peter Blake Gallery in Laguna Beach, CA, 415 Gallery in San Francisco, and the Fremont Gallery in South Pasadena. Bert is involved with an ongoing series called “Bar-codes,” which is based on the Universal Bar-Code symbols. This series has evolved from a commentary on consumerism to a commentary on the issues of identity in today’s global culture. This notion of identity has led to the current series of textile pieces in which the indigenous stories from the Americas are encrypted on bar codes and then woven by various native artisans from the same communities using their traditional loom techniques. These were to be exhibited at the Pasadena Museum of California Art in Pasadena California in 2012.

Carmen Aldunate
(b.1940, Chilean) Untitled, 1985 Oil pastel on paper under glass Unsigned Sheet: 27.25” H x 20.75” W $1,000-2,000 Provenance: Galeria Epoca, Santiago, Chile The Carolyn J. Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA, acquired from the above in 1987 Notes: This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity prepared by Lily Lanz, Director of Galeria Epoca, Santiago, Chile, dated April 2, 1987. Carmen Aldunate, painter, illustrator and draftsman, born in Viña del Mar in 1940, began studies at the Facultad de Arte de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and later at the Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Chile. She later served as an assistant in the Art Department at the University of California. Aldunate belongs to a group of artists gravitating towards New Figuration (nueva Figuracion), an art that embraces figuration while making it unpredictable, whimsical and imaginary. The artist works primarily with oils on canvas and wood panel, and has also been known to use graphite and collage. With these techniques, she has developed a theme that focuses primarily on the female form. The representation of women in her work is achieved through a rationally controlled design, with a perfect balance of painting, reminiscent of Flemish art of the fifteenth century. Carmen Aldunate precisely recovers the aesthetic canons that once defined classical beauty. In her work, the faces of her subjects take the appearance of masks. With this, the painter means to symbolize the whole human being, in essence, never “show his/her true face” and instead lives day to day by using different facades. The use of a dark color harmony accentuates the poignancy of these images. Among other accolades the artist received the 1962 First Prize for Painting at the art fair in Santiago, First Prize for Drawing at the official Salon of Santiago in 1974 and the following year, the First Prize for Drawing at the Biennale of Valparaiso in 1978, the First Prize at the Biennale in Punta del Este, Uruguay and ‘81, First Prize Drawing Biennale de Cali, Colombia. She has had solo exhibitions in the Central Gallery of Santiago in 1963, in Belmonte Art Gallery in Sacramento, CA in 1964 and the University of California ‘69; in Gallery Lima, Peru in 1977, and in 1981 held an exhibition entitled “Ten Years of Painting Aldunate Carmen” at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago. In 1984 she exhibited at Contemporary Art Center, Pereira, Colombia. During 1997, the show “Sins and Virtues” was featured in Valparaiso, Valdivia and Puerto Montt. Several of her paintings have been acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Contemporary Art. She has also illustrated books like “Don Quixote de la Mancha” and “Alice in Wonderland”

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. 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.
