Joan Miró
(1893-1983, Spanish) “Untitled” from “Série I,” 1952-53 Etching and aquatint in orange and black on wove paper, watermark Arches, under Plexiglas Edition: Inscribed “Bon à tirer” in pencil (the edition was 13) Signed, dated “28/V/52.,” and inscribed “Bon à tirer” all in pencil in the lower margin; inscribed “13” in pencil in the left margin; Atelier Lacourière, Paris, prntr.; Maeght Éditeur, Paris, pub. Plate: 15” H x 17.75” W: Sheet: 17.875” H x 25” W $15,000-20,000 Provenance: Timothy Yarger Fine Art, Beverly Hills, California Private Collection, California, acquired from the above, November 13, 2001 Literature: Dupin 78 Dupin indicates that the 13 editioned impressions of this image were printed on Arches paper measuring 19.75” H x 26” W. Nevertheless, this “Bon à tirer” example appears to retain its full margins, albeit on a slightly smaller sheet of the same type of paper. The plates for “Serie I” were executed by Miró at Stanley W. Hayter’s Atelier 17 in New York, then printed and published in Paris. Joan Miró, born in Barcelona in 1893, was a crucial figure in the Modernist movement. Miró moved to Paris in 1920, where he met artists such as Pablo Picasso and Andre Breton, the selfproclaimed founder of the Surrealist movement. Connecting with these artists and others significantly affected Miró’s style and artistic development. Miró described his works as being painted in stages. First, he would utilize a method of artmaking known as automatism to develop an image in free form by letting his unconscious guide his hand. While Miró was in some ways drawing from his imagination, he also allowed the landscape and everyday objects in the surrounding environment to influence his work. The second stage, far more precise and intentional, involved Miró’s conscious addition of minor touches and details. The results were highly vibrant, colorful, and playful -- as seen in “Acrobats in the Night Garden,” or the five plates from “Gravures pour une exposition” series, also featured in this sale. Miró consciously tried to avoid over conceptualizing his artwork throughout his career, instead choosing to create images that could not easily be associated with a single art movement or style. Instead, he allowed his work to be rebellious -- he sought to create artwork that functioned as commentary on social and political events happening around him, which contributed to him being considered one of the most influential artists of his time. Miró spent most of his career between Paris, France, and Mont-Roig del Camp, Spain, before passing away in 1983.

Maurits Cornelis Escher
(1898-1972, Dutch) “Puddle,” 1952 Color woodcut on thin, laid, Japan paper under Plexiglas Signed and inscribed in pencil in the lower margin: M. C. Escher, and “eigen druk” Image: 9.375” H x 12.5” W; Sheet: 12” H x 16” W $20,000-30,000 Literature: Bool 378 Born in 1898 in the Netherlands, Maurits Cornelis Escher was a graphic artist known for making realistic prints that often feature optical illusions. Escher studied at the School for Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem, Netherlands, where he developed an interest in graphics and a specialty in woodblock printmaking. After completing his studies, Escher lived and worked in Italy, Switzerland, and Belgium. Escher’s mature artistic style first emerged in 1937, when he began producing realistic but highly surreal prints using lithography, mezzotint, wood engraving, and woodcut. He has been referred to as the “father of modern tessellations,” as many of his works show objects that blend into complex interlocking patterns that depict a scene or object from multiple perspectives simultaneously. Escher returned to the Netherlands during World War II, where he lived and worked until he died in 1972. Not closely aligned with any artistic movement, Escher struggled to gain critical acceptance for his work, despite being featured in over 300 exhibitions during his lifetime. Escher described himself as a mathematician rather than an artist. Nevertheless, he left behind an oeuvre of over 450 prints and about 2,000 drawings. Within the last decade, Escher has been the subject of major retrospective exhibitions in Brazil and Scotland, and nearly four hundred prints, drawings, and art-related objects are currently on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, through September 5, 2022.

In 1974, Warhol produced a suite of flower screenprints based on images of flowers found in a wallpaper catalog called “Interpretive Flower Designs.” The “Flowers (Hand Colored)” portfolio was originally sold as a suite of ten prints and published by Peter M. Brant in collaboration with Castelli Graphics and Multiples Inc. in two variations. The first consisted of black and white prints, while each work found in the deluxe edition was hand-colored with Dr. Martin’s aniline watercolor, dye-making each piece a unique color variation. Warhol depicted flowers in his work across all stages of his career. The “Flowers (Hand Colored)” portfolio, in contrast to the editions that he released in the mid-1960s, demonstrates Warhol’s ability to render a very traditional subject with a contemporary perspective.

Berenice Abbott
(1898-1991, Monson, ME) “Newsstand, East 32nd Street and Third Avenue, Manhattan,” November 19, 1935 Gelatin silver print on photographic paper, dry mounted, under glass From the edition printed circa 1979 by Todd Watts Signed in pencil on the support board, lower right: Berenice Abbott; copyright ink stamps: Berenice Abbott/ Abbot, Maine ink stamp, and Artist’s Commerce Graphics LTD; also stamped: From the Federal Art Project: / “Changing New York” / Museum of the City of New York, all verso 18.25” H x 23” W $3,000-5,000 Provenance: Property of an Estate, Beverly Hills, CA Born in Springfield, Ohio, in 1898, Berenice Abbott’s artistic career began when she moved to Paris in 1921 to study sculpture. Though Abbott is recognized as an accomplished photographer, it was her complete unfamiliarity with photography that drew her to the Dada/Surrealist photographer Man Ray through an exhibition at his gallery; he would later hire her as his studio assistant in 1923. The time she spent in the darkroom printing his photographs helped Abbott discover her interest in photography. Less than three years after she began working with Man Ray, Abbott opened her own photography studio on the Left Bank with the financial support of Peggy Guggenheim. Abbott returned to the United States in 1929 and New York City became her new home and her muse. Her ensuing work chronicled daily life in the city. As part of a project titled “Changing New York,” Abbott focused her gaze on the city’s architecture and its residents. In 1935, Abbott was subsequently hired by the Federal Art Project, a program intended to support unemployed artists during the Great Depression, which enabled her to continue “Changing New York” during a period when she would have otherwise struggled to support herself and the project financially. In 1939, she published her first book of the same title, which is now recognized as a preeminent example of social documentary photography. Yet, Abbott’s photographs were not produced without controversy. During the McCarthy Era, she was labeled a‚ concealed communist by the FBI in 1951 due to her association with the Photo League, a socially conscious cooperative of photographers who lived and worked in New York City. Abbott, who became fearful of government surveillance until she was de-listed from the FBI’s watch list four years later, eventually resettled in Maine where she lived and worked until her death in 1991.

Heino served five years in the US Air Force in London during World War II and would spend his military leave watching Bernard Leach throw pots which impacted Heino’s passion for pottery. After his return, Heino studied at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 1949, where he met his teacher Vivika Heino (nee Place), who later became his wife a year later in 1950. The pair then became a husbandwife team which opened a pottery workshop together. Otto Heino took many influences, ranging from Japanese folk pottery to Scandinavian Modernism and even British ceramics. However, he created his pottery by throwing and glazing his works himself. After more than a decade of consistent practice, Otto and Vivika discovered a new formula for a glaze that nearly replicated a long-lost formula resulting in buttery yellow tones that are stylistically similar to Chinese pottery made during the era of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).

Beginning his career as a pre-med student at Columbia University, Noguchi shifted his focus in the 1940s by starting to experiment with furniture making. His playful designs quickly caught the eye of a well-known furniture manufacturer, Hans Knoll, who suggested that he convert his wire silhouette and cast-iron design for a stool into a table. The “Cyclone” table, as it is known today, became known as one of Noguchi’s iconic table designs today made through Knoll in various sizes and as part of the Bertoia wire collection. Knoll manufactured the Cyclone table featured in this sale during the late 1950s.

Richard Diebenkorn Untitled
Richard Diebenkorn is an artist who defies easy classification. He is often associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement, which emerged in New York City during the mid-1940s. He is alongside his fellow artists during this movement, such as Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Barnett Newman, and Clyfford Still. Working in the years that followed the end of World War II, this group of artists produced bodies of work so transformative that New York City effectively displaced Paris as the center of the art world in just a few short years. Yet, while Diebenkorn began his artistic career around the same time as the Abstract Expressionist movement emerged, he never lived in New York City. Instead, he was in the Marine Corps from 1943 to 1945, and after the war, he began studying painting at the California School of Fine Art. Following his undergraduate studies, Diebenkorn taught at CSFA for a couple of years, but in 1950 he left to complete a master's degree at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He later worked in Urbana, Illinois, the San Francisco Bay Area, and traveled in Europe before settling in Santa Monica, where he would produce his highly acclaimed Ocean Park series. Before his death, Diebenkorn and his wife lived in Healdsburg, California. As an artist, Diebenkorn was very spontaneous in his work. He sought to bypass aspects of the conscious mind while searching for unrecognized forms and emotions which would inform his work. For his master's degree exhibition, Diebenkorn selected work from the seventeen months of his residency in New Mexico. "Untitled," produced during Diebenkorn's time in New Mexico, is believed to have been created around 1951 ahead of his master's degree exhibition. Having no prior experience with the medium but wanting to try his hand at open for recycled metal sculpture, Diebenkorn sought the help of a fellow graduate assistant, Herb Goldman, to teach him the fundamentals of welding. His contribution to the graduate students' exhibition would comprise sixteen paintings, six drawings, and at least two welded metal sculptures, "Untitled" is one of them. Unfortunately, the other sculpture from this exhibition is presumed lost as its whereabouts remain unknown to scholars. After the master's degree exhibition closed on May 5, 1951, Diebenkorn's scrap metal sculpture disappeared into a private collection for the next thirty-eight years. Finally, in 1978, the art historian Mark Lavatelli traced the work's whereabouts to a modest home located on the outskirts of Albuquerque, where the insect-like work had spent several decades affixed to an exterior wall. As Lavatelli would later recall, the sculpture's owner at the time had to use a large stick to help pry it off the wall for a closer look. For the past forty-one years, Diebenkorn's "Untitled" has resided in the private collection of Los Angeles-based collectors who acquired the work at auction in 1981. The present work was also included in several museum exhibitions. From October 2007 through most of 2008, the piece was part of a touring exhibit, "Diebenkorn in New Mexico," sponsored by The Hartwood Museum of Art at the University of New Mexico. The exhibition then traveled to the San Jose Museum of Art in Northern California before appearing at the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. Jay Gates, the Director of The Phillips Collection at the exhibition, noted, "This important exhibition makes clear that Richard Diebenkorn's story has not been fully told until now. The works stand as powerful evidence that he found his artistic voice while in New Mexico." 1 0 6 Po s t -War & C o n t e m p o r a r y A rt + De sig n l Tu e sd ay, J u n e 2 1 , 2022

She spent her summers painting in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where she met Milton Avery, who became her husband in 1926. For much of her life, Sally Michel invested her time and energy into furthering the career of her husband: she worked full-time as an illustrator for the “New York Times Magazine” and Macy’s department store for nearly thirty years so that her husband could paint full-time. Although Milton Avery is recognized today as a key figure in America’s Modernist movement, the work of Sally Michel has received far less critical attention than that of her husband. Yet, a close examination of her work today shows Michel to be an adept painter despite the lack of recognition she received during her lifetime.

Known to be one of the most excellent avant-garde French designers of the 20th century, Mathieu Mategot incorporated various materials from wood, leather, glass, and metal into his designs. After studying at the Budapest School of Fine Art, Mategot began his career as a window dresser and women’s clothing designer in the 1930s. Between the 1940s and the 1960s, Mategot designed furniture before eventually devoting himself full time to tapestry design. Over time, Mategot became one of the leaders of the modern movement for French tapestry, highly regarded for his creations that were reminiscent of Abstract Expressionist paintings.

Philip studied art at the Arts Student League in New York, while his son Kelvi, who attended City College in New York City and Parsons, majored in metal sculpting and furniture design. Drawing upon their unique talents, the collaborative design duo continually experimented with various techniques that they selectively employed in their designs. While Philip focused on the artistic elements and subject matter, his son Kelvin worked on translating his father’s vision into functional furniture designs. As a result, they became known for incorporating multiple mediums -- such as pewter, patinated bronze, and silverì into a single unified furniture design. Their sources of inspiration varied greatly, and the pair often drew upon Classical motifs and those from Chinese, Egyptian, and Greek cultures. Cast bronze tables with a figural sculptural base, such as “Persephone Enslaved,” are rare within LaVerne’s body of work. As manufacturing such tables was time-consuming, expensive, and laborious, coffee tables such as Persephone Enslaved were produced in small editions for only a few years during the 1970s.

Seamus Heaney, et al., “Dimitri Hadzi” (New York: Hudson Hills Press, 1996), plate 5. Dimitri Hadzi was a Greek-American sculptor born in New York City in 1921. Born in Greenwich Village and raised in Brooklyn, Hadzi joined the Army Air Forces and served in the South Pacific during World War II. After the war, Hadzi became a student at Cooper Union under the GI Bill and graduated with honors in 1950. Awarded a Fulbright Fellowship, Hadzi studied Greco-Roman sculpture in Greece and lived in Rome for the next twenty-five years. Hadzi’s exposure to classical sculpture in Europe was central to his artistic identity. However, he chose to approach the medium from a Modernist perspective that tended towards abstraction. Hadzi represented the United States in the Venice Biennales of 1956, 1958, and 1962, which brought him several gallery shows and significant sculpture commissions. In 1975, Hadzi returned to the United States to become a professor at Harvard, where he taught classes on both sculpture and printmaking for the next fourteen years. After his retirement, Hadzi produced major sculptures installed in San Francisco, Birmingham, Alabama, and multiple solo exhibitions. At 85, Hadzi passed away, leaving behind a body of work that narrowed the gap between the classical and the contemporary. His work is in the Whitney Museum of American Art collections, the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, the Guggenheim, and the Museum of Modern Art, among many other institutions.

Its corporate reputation was cemented over time as the company became known for creating genuine Italian-made contemporary furniture and decorative objects with a high-quality manufacturing process. During Alberto Minotti’s beginning years of Minotti, and for the next fifty years, the production of its furniture was essentially an artisanal process. After Rodolfo Dorini became the company’s Art Director, he sought to build upon Minotti’s vision by broadening its focus to incorporate more architecture and interior design influences into its products. As a long-lasting family-owned company with a history that today spans three generations, Minotti continues to be known for its authentic designs created in collaboration with world-renowned designers.

While von der Ahe’s use of this medium may be nontraditional, her working method is a form of personal expression that is intensely autobiographical. The compositions of her blood paintings often resemble a cell-like structure, resulting in a style that highlights the connection between menstrual blood and the essential elements of life. Von der Ahe’s blood paintings also seek to make the discussion of reproductive health less taboo. While conceptually intense, von der Ahe’s abstract paintings offer a captivating juxtaposition between the “wasteful” nature of the menses and the coveted and finite element of gold.

Fernand Leger
(1881-1955, French) “Après le déluge,” from “Les Illuminations” by Arthur Rimbaud, 1949 Lithograph with pochoir and unique hand-coloring in gouache on cream wove paper, unidentified watermark, under Plexiglas Signed and inscribed in pencil in the lower right corner: F. Leger / bon définitif; ink stamped, as well as signed and inscribed in pencil on the verso by the publisher; Louis Grosclaude at Editions de Gaules, Lausanne, Switzerland, pub. Image/Sheet: 13” H x 9.75” W $10,000-15,000 Provenance: The Estate of William J. Solloway Private Collection, New York, NY, acquired from the above Literature: cf. Saphire 24-38, pp. 258-267 Notes: The pencil inscription and signature by Grosclaude on the verso appears to read: Colorée par l’artiste / Bon définitif [indistinct] / Fernand Léger pour Les / Illuminations de Rimbaud / Mars 1949 / L. Grosclaude. 395 examples of “Les Illuminations,” written by Arthur Rimbaud and illustrated Fernand Leger, were published in 1949, including both standard and deluxe editions. The French poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), who is regarded as a key member of the Symbolist movement, wrote the forty prose and two free-verse poems known as “Les Illuminations” when he was in his late teens. While the collection of poems was first published in 1886 without the author’s knowledge, “Les Illuminations” is now considered a masterpiece of Modernist poetry that firmly established Rimbaud’s reputation as one of France’s great poets. In 1949, the Swiss publisher Louis Groschaude commissioned the French artist Fernand Leger to create a series of fifteen illustrations that were to accompany a reprinting of “Les Illuminations.” This work, which accompanied the poem “Apres Le Deluge,” was one of nine illustrations that were individually hand-colored for a small deluxe edition of Groschaude’s printing of “Les Illuminations.”

Edmondson, who spent his early years in Northern California, graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with an M.A. in fine art in 1942. After completing his studies, he joined the U.S. Army and worked for military intelligence from 1942 to 1946. During that time, Edmondson traveled to Europe and visited the Louvre, where he saw works by artists such as Paul Klee, which proved to be a valuable source of inspiration. “Woman with Coffee and Biscuit” (1946) is one of the final naturalistic figural works Edmondson created before taking a turn towards abstract painting and printmaking in 1950. Soon after, Edmondson began showing solo exhibitions of his work in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Santa Barbara. Leonard Edmondson continued to work and teach in Los Angeles until he died in 2002. 1 7 0 Po s t -War & C o n t e m p o r a r y A rt + De sig n l Tu e sd ay, J u n e 2 1 , 2022

However, she spent most of her life in Paris, where she moved with her husband, Alexandre Istrati, in 1947. While in Paris, the couple became very close with the artist Constantin Brancusi, who they lived with until he died in 1957. She and Istrati were the driving force behind the restoration of the Brancusi workshop in 1977, in addition to helping his work gain the institutional attention that it has today. As an artist, Dumitresco gained recognition for her austere style of geometric abstraction that aligned her with the Salon des Reaites Nouvelles during her career. This artist organization, which cited Wassily Kandinsky as a significant influence, was dedicated to producing abstract art by its membersì a roster that included Jean Arp and Sonia Delaunay. Dumitresco was the recipient of the Kandinsky prize in 1955, and she lived and worked in Paris until she died in 1997. She and her husband Alexandre Istrati are buried with Constantin Brancusi at the Cimetiere du Montparnasse in Paris.

Circa 1965 With raised etched signature and retail label to underside The coffee table in bronze with acid-etched and enameled brass, the top depicting dancing figures with enameled details 17.25” H x 70.125” W x 30” D $5,000-7,000 Philip (1907-1987) and Kelvin LaVerne (b. 1937) are a father-son team who started creating their furniture designs in 1960 out of a studio in New York City. Philip studied art at the Arts Student League in New York, while his son Kelvin, who attended City College in New York City and Parsons, majored in metal sculpting and furniture design. Drawing upon their unique talents, the collaborative design duo continually experimented with various techniques that they selectively employed in their designs. While Philip focused on the artistic elements and subject matter, his son Kelvin worked on translating his father’s vision into functional furniture designs. As a result, they became known for incorporating multiple mediums -- such as pewter, patinated bronze, and silver into a single unified furniture design. Their sources of inspiration varied greatly, and the pair often drew upon Classical motifs and those from Chinese, Egyptian, and Greek cultures.

Nobuo Sekine
(b. 1942, Japanese) “Phase Conception: Spanish Window,” 1991 Mixed media with gold leaf on paper under Plexiglas Signed, sub-titled in Japanese, dated, and numbered on an artist’s label affixed verso: N. Sekine / G50-131 46” H x 36” W $10,000-15,000 The sculptor Nubuo Sekine was an early participant in the Mono-ha movement, which sought to criticize and counter the rapid development and industrialization taking place in Tokyo and other large cities through work that emphasized the relationship between natural and industrial materials. Works from Sekine’s “Phase Conception” series, which are often made with gold leaf, was influenced by the concept of “phase” in topology -- a subset of mathematics and physics that aims to relate abstract space to connectedness. Often inspired by the architecture and urban spaces he encountered in Asian and European cities, the abstract designs found in Sekine’s work show similarities to the shapes and forms found in buildings such as the Hang Nga Guesthouse in Vietnam, as well as the Casa Batllo by Antoni Gaudi located in Barcelona.

He is best known for his portraits executed in a style that, while representational, is often painterly and semi-abstract. Working fervently across the surface of a canvas, Salgado takes note of different planes of color across the sitter’s face and background before blending them into “a sort of chaotically orchestrated puzzle.” Salgado has had over fifteen solo exhibitions internationally, including in London, New York, Toronto, and Basel, Switzerland.

(b. 1986, Lebanese/French) “Dark Cloud II,” 2014 Glass and silver Signed to underside: Audi 7” H x 10” W x 10.5” D $5,000-7,000 Notes: Flavie Audi, born in Paris, France, in 1986, has spent most of her artistic career focusing on the manipulation of glass. From the 1248 consecration of SainteChapelle in Paris to Walter Gropius’ 1919 Bauhaus manifesto, the ethereal and seemingly immaterial qualities of glass continue to make it a medium of choice for many artists. Audi uses this relationship to create astral-like figures and shapes such as “Dark Cloud II,” which seems to visually oscillate between what might be either a dark digital screen or a sublime celestial entity. The uneven surface of her glass sculptures offers an entirely different outlook on the capabilities of glass and presents the viewer with a portal for introspection that allows one to question the confines of reality and experience a moment of self-reflection.

Pedro Friedeberg

Pedro Friedeberg is an artist and designer known for producing Surrealist artwork and decorative objects. Born in Florence, Italy, to Jewish-German parents, Friedeberg’s family moved to Mexico during World War II when he was only three years old. His interest in the Renaissance architecture of Italy and the Pre-Columbian architecture of Mexico led Friedeberg to study architecture in Boston. He ultimately dropped out of the program to pursue a career making fine art and designing furniture. Friedeberg was one of twelve artists who participated in an exhibition titled Los Hartos (The Fed-Ups) at Galeria Antonio Souza in Mexico City in 1961. The group advocated for art for art’s sake and decried how Muralism had come to dominate the conversation around Mexican art at the time. In the years that followed, Friedeberg became known for a two-dimensional body of work consisting of paintings, prints, and works on paper that extended Optical Art into the realm of fantasy and the psychedelic. In the three-dimensional realm, Friedeberg’s hand-shaped chairs have become an iconic example of a Surrealist design that functions as art. Friedeberg currently lives and works in Mexico.

Provenance: Private Collection, Hidden Hills, CA
On April 28, 1928, Yves Klein was born to parents who were notable abstract painters in Paris. From 1942 to 1946, Klein studied at the Ecole Nationale de la Marine Marchande, and the Ecole Nationale des Langues Orientales. He would become a pioneer in the development of performance art and a prominent visual artist whose work bridged the gaps between Minimalism, Pop Art, and the Nouveau Realism movement. Klein’s techniques and use of raw pigments in paintings, performances, and furniture design are highly regarded within the art and design industry. Arguably, his most avant-garde performances were those in which he arranged for naked women covered in pigment to roll their bodies over canvases in public settings. He also coated sponges in raw pigments that he then affixed to canvases and panels. In 1963, Klein began producing clear Plexi-glass tables filled with powdered pigment piles in shades of light pink and his trademarked International Klein Blue (IKB), a deep shade of ultramarine as seen in the following lot. His use of pure pigment as a viable medium challenged long-held beliefs on art’s relationship to both color and material in ways that continue to influence visual artists, performance artists, and interior designers working today.

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.
