As 2014 begins, I am constantly reminded by many works in this auction that fifty years have passed since
1964, a legendary year for the arts in Los Angeles. It was the year The Beatles played the Hollywood Bowl, Ed Ruscha painted Norm’s, on Fire, the Eames Office developed the multimedia presentation Think, Judy Chicago created her Car Hood and Ferus Gallery held the pivotal group exhibition The Studs. In June of 1964, the same month in which Lorser Feitelson created Untitled (Lot 39 illustrated on opposite page), he spoke about his first impression of the Los Angeles scene: “I disliked it violently in the beginning, because there was no art appreciation. Then I learned to love it because there wasn’t any art appreciation, therefore the artist had to paint only for one person, himself.” This lack of art appreciation, which some have foolishly mistaken for lack of culture, was inextricably linked to the ability to create on a very personal level. On the West Coast, artists were free of the influences of the New York-centric and Euro-centric trends and movements. Feitelson along with John McLaughlin, Frederick Hammersley, and Karl Benjamin formed one of the first successful and uniquely modern American art movements, referred to as the Hard Edge School. In this sale, I am very proud to offer paintings by each of the four original founders of the movement. In addition, we are pleased to present original works by the following generation of Southern Californian artists including Joe Goode, De Wain Valentine, Guy Dill, and Chuck Arnoldi, as well as another previously undocumented painting by Vija Celmins. Celmins’ Untitled (Ham Hock) (Lot 210), is a rare, early work from 1964, executed during her seminal years when she kept a compact studio here in Venice Beach. I am especially enthusiastic to have published arts writer Jori Finkel’s insightful essay on this work (page 114). A short drive from Celmins’ studio was the Eames Office which, also in 1964, was putting the finishing touches on a highly innovative display for the IBM Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair. Two hand-painted panels (Lot 104), from the fair, are an excellent reflection of the Eames Office’s playful and diverse approach to art and design as well as a process for delivering information. I am also honored to present a masterpiece by Northern Californian artist and sculptor Ruth Asawa. Untitled S.437 (Lot 236), is a complex hanging sculpture that has a deceptively simple form. Despite many intense hours of knitting metal wires in the “e-loop” technique, this work appears weightless, a composition of floating orbs emanating tranquility. When I asked Asawa’s daughter how long it took to execute one of these sculptures, she replied “a lifetime.” From the same period, we are presenting works by George Nakashima from the collection of Edmund J. Bennett. With Bennett’s vision and Nakashima’s master woodworking skills, the collection materialized in 1963 and was continued with Nakashima’s daughter, Mira, through 1990. This collection has many of George Nakashima’s most iconic designs and includes a number of original documents and photographs that give rare insight into Nakashima’s process and the collection’s fruition. I strongly recommend coming to the preview for this auction because many of these works haven't been seen in public for the last fifty years. The tactile feel and visual dialogue that can be experienced with an Asawa sculpture, a Nakashima cabinet, and even a McLaughlin painting needs to be experienced in person. Better yet, if you are a successful bidder, you can be the owner for the next fifty years. PETER LOUGHREY, DIRECTOR

CALIFORNIA HARD EDGE In May 1959, the Los Angeles art critic Jules Langsner organized a meeting between four Southern California painters: Lorser Feitelson, John McLaughlin, Frederick Hammersley, and Karl Benjamin. These artists arrived at this point in their careers through vastly divergent paths, yet they all shared a distinctive method of painting similar to early 20th century European Geometric Abstraction. In Feitelson’s studio that day, Langsner urged the four artists to exhibit their “hard edge” paintings, his own term he wanted to use as the show’s title. Peter Selz, the Pomona College art department chair, had offered the college gallery as a venue, but Feitelson insisted on a major museum or nothing at all. Langsner answered his call to action and abruptly began his search. The pivotal exhibition, a collective unveiling of a new trend in painting, came to fruition in September of the same year at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (then the Los Angeles County Museum in Exposition Park), entitled “Four Abstract Classicists.” The show then traveled to London and Belfast under Langsner’s original title, “West Coast Hard Edge.” A transition from Abstract Expressionism and yet a hint toward the minimal graphics and bold colors of Pop Art, this new direction represented a spontaneous and distinctive style in American painting. Over fifty years later, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is currently exhibiting these four artists in “Four Abstract Classicists,” a tribute to the original 1959 exhibition.

KARL BENJAMIN In 1951, Karl Benjamin was certainly unaware of the boundless vocabulary of color he would construct over a 60-year painting career. As a young elementary school teacher in Bloomington, California, he ignored the 45-minute per week art requirement until his principal intervened. Benjamin begrudgingly passed out crayons and paper and famously announced to the class, “Fill up the space with pretty colors and don’t mess around.” Inspired by his students’ abstract creations as well as visits to local museums and galleries, two years later he started painting his own color experiments. From then on, while teaching elementary school in Claremont for thirty years, he steadily painted distinct compositions of subtly changing hues and interrelated shapes. Only three years after his first venture into painting, he achieved a solo exhibition at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1954, and five years later he was featured in “Four Abstract Classicists.”
Some of his earliest paintings articulate his Abstract Expressionist influences, though after 1954, Benjamin’s Hard Edge style had become more geometric, characterized by “an intensive exploration of color,” as seen in Untitled (1957), a collection of layered trapezoidal figures that build in color and texture. Benjamin was known to work on several different paintings at a time, reusing specific shapes and colors. And while many of Benjamin’s works, including #5 (1974) seem to follow the symmetry and boldness of Op Art, Benjamin in 1986 commented, “I am an intuitive painter, despite the ordered appearance of my paintings, and am fascinated by the infinite range of expression inherent in color relationships.” Louis Stern Fine Arts.

JUNE HARWOOD Originally from New York State, June Harwood (b. 1934) gained recognition when she was included in the seminal exhibition, “California Hard-Edge Painting” along with Helen Lundeberg, Lorser Feitelson, John McLaughlin, Frederick Hammersley, and Karl Benjamin, among others. Hosted by Pavilion Gallery in Balboa, California and organized by her husband Jules Langsner, the show proved to be quite successful for Harwood. Throughout the 60s, she created various series of acrylic paintings, including Colorform Series, Silver Series, and Loops Series in which she explored geometric forms amidst backdrops of rich acrylic color. During this period, she took a formalist approach to painting, marked by “impeccable organization” and the intention to create paintings that could achieve an independent existence. She wrote, “To
realize that intention fully, the structure would have to be at once integral to the imagery and harmonious within itself.” In the Loops Series painting Blue Orange (1966) - exhibited at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 1967 and the David Stewart Galleries thereafter - Harwood describes her exploration of kinetics: “After the symmetrical loops came kinetic loops loosened and free with a kinetic energy of their own…swirling and moving into the canvas and off again.” In most of her paintings, Harwood achieves symmetry between the captured movement on the canvas and the unseen movement beyond.

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN Unlike his formally trained contemporaries, John McLaughlin (1898-1976) did not devote himself full-time to painting until he moved from Boston to Southern California in 1946. He was already 61 when his paintings were exhibited in “Four Abstract Classicists.” Before the mid-century, McLaughlin sold Japanese prints, served in World War II as an Army intelligence language officer, and traveled to Japan and China where he studied Asian painting. He wrote to Jules Langsner concerning his appreciation of the Asian approach to painting, “...above all the most compelling quality in this has been economy of means in concert with large, unpainted areas, ” he explained. “These paintings I could get into and tell me who I was. By contrast, Western painters
tried to tell me who they were.” In McLaughlin’s work from 1962, (#11-1962), he adheres to the Japanese principle of “the marvelous void,” both on and off the canvas. The action seemingly continues beyond the borders of the canvas, the black rectangular abyss multiplied exponentially amidst a dimensionless atmosphere of white. This rare painting exemplifies McLaughlin’s efficient use of color and form to create art separated from history and genre.

LORSER FEITELSON Before he was known as the “Father of Hard Edge,” Lorser Feitelson (1898-1978) worked in contemporary movements throughout the early 20th century, namely Cubism and PostSurrealism, and by the 1960s, his influence in the Los Angeles art scene was unmatched. His exposure to art began at an early age; Feitelson frequently visited New York City exhibits at institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Armory. He subsequently began sketching and painting on his own, displaying great command of the human form. As a teenager, he painted sophisticated Cubist works in his Greenwich Village studio and later exhibited Post-Surrealist compositions in New York and Paris. His work throughout the 1930s and early 1940s – dreamlike interpretations of the female figure – remained consistently abstract, earning him exhibitions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as well as a teaching position at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1944. Beginning in the mid-1940s, Feitelson’s figural drawings foreshadow the later abstracted shapes that dominate his Hard Edge paintings. According to curator Michael Duncan, “By deriving his hard-edged forms from the shapes of the
human body and the physical world, Feitelson demonstrated a rigorous abstract and conceptual distillation of figuration that was ahead of its time.” From there, his paintings became increasingly minimal studies of color and the interaction of forms and space – he was developing his Hard Edge aesthetic. Throughout this transition, however, his fascination with the human body is filtered through a microscope. Sketches from the early 60s depicted specific areas of the human body such as hands and torsos, which led to paintings of undulating vertical lines that refer to the “angular gaps between fingers, the slope of a brow, and the curve of a hand.” In Untitled (1964), included in the Lorser Feitelson and Helen Lundeberg Retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1980, the primary form moves with a vermilion force encased in multilayered, contrasting pathways.

FREDERICK HAMMERSLEY One of the youngest of the Hard Edge painters at the time of “Four Abstract Classicists,” Frederick Hammersley (1919-2009) had served in World War II and attended the École des BeauxArts in Paris and Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. While teaching at Pomona College and the Pasadena Art Museum in the 1950s, he painted using his “hunch” method, an unconscious approach that involved building upon a chosen shape through instinctively matched colors. This intuitive method, like many of his fellow Hard Edge painters, distinguishes his approach from pure Geometric Abstraction. “You put down a shape and it just lies there, and then you make a movement and it just comes alive,” said Hammersley in describing his perception of the relationship between color, shape, and perspective. “I’ve never 40 FREDERICK HAMMERSLEY CHINESE TOYS 1954-1956 Oil on canvas Signed in pencil “F.

The shapes have attitudes, and the painting just clicks; it’s unbelievable.” From a period prior to his distinctly Hard Edge paintings of the 60s, Chinese Toys (1954-56) utilizes this hunch method with an extensive vocabulary of colors and shapes, resulting in an abstract landscape.

In 1968, Sam Gilliam was the first recognized artist to stop using canvas stretchers as a means of reinforcement in favor of the solitary, painted, raw surface – a work on canvas independent of archetypal supports. His groundbreaking “drape paintings” from the mid-to-late 1960s are unique in their exploration of the canvas as a sculptural form and its critical relationship to the surrounding space. A pivotal player in the small, but formidable Washington Color School Movement, Gilliam had withdrawn to his studio in the late 1960s to paint, building up a catalogue of works that blurred the lines of Lyrical Abstraction and Color Field Painting. By the early 1970s, Gilliam had further explored different ways of manipulating the structure and dimensional aspects of a painted surface. Inspired by Ron Davis’ resin and fiberglass works from the early 70s (when installed, these works floated off gallery walls), Gilliam was determined to work with beveled canvas stretchers to facilitate the idea of the painting as a dimensional object. In a 1989 interview, Gilliam explains, “The beveled thick stretcher that made the painting an object at the same time and also made it more so of a volume.” The beveled edges of Live (1972) force the perimeter of the painted surface to fall away from the viewer, giving the illusion that the painted image is materializing out of the wall and into the viewer’s space. Small bursts of yellow wallow in eruptions of red paint splashed all over the surface. The vivid, primary color palette is reminiscent of fellow painter Kenneth Noland, with an approach to the canvas reminiscent of Paul Jenkins’ or Jackson Pollack’s drips. Supported along the way by gallerist, museum director, and curator Walter Hopps, Gilliam was able to exhibit at major museums such as the Phillips Collection and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Works from this period reside in the permanent collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian.

VIJA CELMINS In her fleshy painting of a ham hock from 1964, Vija Celmins takes on a familiar subject from art history: raw meat. It’s a classic test of a painter’s powers: How lifelike can the artist render animal muscle, fat, and other tissues? The ham hock (or shank, as the same cut is sometimes known) sits on an off-white ceramic plate, the pig gristle glistening and its joint extending beyond the rim of the plate. The color scheme is simple and powerful: burgundies and whites against a taupe background. But Celmins’ image is just as powerful for what it leaves out. Where is the evidence of a butcher’s shop or stall that we see in so many 16th-century Dutch still lifes? Where are the meat hooks and butchers' counters that show up in dense paintings by Beuckelaer or Aertsen? Likewise, you will not find any of the copper pots, ceramic jugs, or shiny knives that Old Masters like Chardin and French Impressionists later on would use to establish a domestic setting. We don’t even get a table, as the plate floats in the center of the composition. The style is deliberately plain too - a rejection of the attention-getting brushstrokes and paint drips that defined Abstract Expressionism, making this flatly realistic, life-sized image of meat an unlikely sort of palate cleanser for Celmins during an important year in the development of her work. In 1962, at age 25, Celmins enrolled in the M.F.A. program at UCLA and set herself up in a studio at 701 Venice Boulevard. In interviews since, she described her time in California as a weirdly sunny excursion for someone born in Latvia, raised in Indiana, and more at home in shades of gray. This early period in California also represented a turning point in which she managed to shrug off the gestural Abstract Expressionist vocabulary that had influenced her and dominated so much painting of the time, replacing it with the flat, deliberately nondescript sort of representational painting. She described this shift in an interview published as part of her M.F.A. thesis for UCLA, dated June 3, 1965. “I thought struggling and interacting with the painting was necessary; that is to say I put down a stroke, a mark, reacted to it, allowed it to act upon me, and went on from there until I had exhausted myself and the possibilities. The painting remained a battlefield, a symbol of my involvement.”
Feeling burdened by this Abstract Expressionist influence, she soon abandoned painting altogether, drawing landscapes for a time. Then, a breakthrough: “When I began painting again, I decided I would do the very barest thing that I could do, I would SEE what it was I was doing, and I would stop when that one thing began to come to life. There was less concern for the final form the painting was to take. Instead I concentrated on my ability to perceive and organize my perceptions into an image. I kept the paint-ground relationship in my mind and concentrated on projecting the image. I found I was doing the simplest forms, simplest compositions…using the most limited palette but making choices that mattered.” “I remembered kind of feeling the joy of being able to paint anything,” she later said about this period. Her subjects in 1964 ranged from everyday foods like soup, meat, and eggs to objects found in her studio like a lamp, space heater, and a gun on loan from a friend. (MoMA now owns the smoking gun painting.) These objects paved the way for the so-called “disaster” paintings inspired by larger historical events like the 1965 Watts Riots. Throughout this period, her style remains quasi-photographic, realistic without a great attempt at depth or perspective - a reminder that several art critics identified the emerging (and surprisingly varied) art movement of the time as “New Realism” before settling on the term “Pop Art.” New Realism in Celmins' hands could also be called literalism: communicating the thing-ness of a thing itself. Each artwork is an object. Each object is an artwork. A ham hock is a ham hock is a ham hock, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, who had a lot to say about ham or really liked the word, or both. (As in this semi-inscrutable line: “Suppose, suppose a tremble, a ham, a little mouth told to wheeze more and a religion a reign of a pea racket that makes a load register and passes best.”) “Things that exist exist, and everything is on their side… Everything is equal, just existing,” to quote Donald Judd. He was writing about Claes Oldenburg in the year 1964. -- Jori Finkel

RUTH ASAWA The renowned Japanese-American artist and educator Ruth Asawa (1926-2013) constructed intricate, multi-lobed wire sculptures that explore a complex relationship between object and space. Her diligence to her craft, her pioneering experiments in wire sculpture, and her comprehensive output in other mediums including public sculpture, painting, and printmaking have established Asawa as one of the most influential modernists of the 20th century. Born to Japanese immigrants in Norwalk, California, Asawa was the middle child in a family of seven boys and girls, and she learned the importance of hard work each day on her family’s vegetable farm. On Saturdays, however, Asawa practiced Japanese calligraphy – a welcome respite from farm life – where she received her first lesson in empty space. In 1942 following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Asawa and her family were forcibly relocated to internment camps. Fortunately, she spent her time learning how to draw from Japanese artists from Disney Studios, including Tom Okamoto. She immersed herself in drawing and painting classes, and in 1943 she graduated, earning herself freedom from the camp and a government stipend to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. She was accepted, but the tuition and fees were too expensive, forcing her to enroll at the Milwaukee State Teachers College. After three successful years in Milwaukee, Asawa went on a trip to Mexico in the summer of 1945. There she met Clara Porset, a friend of Josef Albers, who recommended that she enroll at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. This chance meeting and the promise of a robust art scene ultimately changed the course of her life. One year later in Josef Albers’ Basic Design and Color course, Asawa was beginning to understand her abilities: “She sensed that she was learning about herself, how her eyes worked, and that she was increasing her general consciousness.” Black Mountain’s supportive community and its faculty of practicing artists quickly awakened a desire to break from her family’s tradition and to focus on the necessary skills required for a life of creating art. Of the instructors she recalls, “They were the most competent people I have ever known. They performed with distinction.” In 1948, during her final year at Black Mountain, Asawa was encouraged to experiment, so she chose sculpture, an unfamiliar medium for the young artist. Inspired by a crochet loop basket weaving technique she had learned on a second trip to Mexico, she proposed to create a sculpture out of wire, whatever type of wire she could find in the studio: brass, copper, bailing wire. Asawa’s e loop technique was not only simple and inexpensive, but offered a multitude of possibilities. Asawa referred to the resulting sculptures as “drawing[s] in space,” punctuated by an overall nature of “transparency.” She said, “It was Albers’ word. I liked the idea, and it turns out my sculpture is like that. You can show inside and outside, and inside and outside are connected. Everything is connected, continuous.”

In the early 1950s, Asawa found time to work on her wire sculptures amidst significant life events, including her marriage to architect Albert Lanier and the birth of her children. She submitted a sculpture to the San Francisco Art Association Annual at the San Francisco Museum of Art (now San Francisco Museum of Modern Art), her first show outside of Black Mountain. Throughout the next five years, Asawa showed more regularly at local and national galleries and museums, culminating in a piece at the Bienal de S達o Paolo in Brazil. It was around this time in 1953-54 that June Lane Christensen commissioned Untitled S.437 (Hanging, Seven-Lobed, Two-Part Continuous Form within a Form with Two Small Spheres) for her dance studio in Santa Barbara. In early 1956, Ruth Asawa completed the hanging sculpture and personally installed the work in June's studio, where June and her husband taught dance, music, and the arts to children. June studied dance in the late 40s and early 50s at Black Mountain College where she came to know Ruth Asawa. June then moved to New York to study with Merce Cunningham, John Cage, and Martha Graham, ultimately bringing modern dance into the awareness of the Santa Barbara dance community. The sculpture hung in the dance studio for nearly 20 years and has continued to serve as an inspiration and muse to June and her work since retiring three years ago at the age of 85. On November 13, 2008 the Montecito Tea Fire erupted, destroying homes and buildings in the foothills of Santa Barbara. June's dance studio was one of those buildings burned by the fire. While the property was burning, and her current residence evacuated, the family had very little time to gather their belongings, but they made sure to save the Asawa sculpture. Now after 57 years, the sculpture will save them. Proceeds from the sale of the sculpture will go to rebuilding the property and studio, continuing June's legacy of teaching arts to children through dance, movement, and music. Cornell, Daniell.

NAKASHIMA COMMISSIONS FROM THE
EDMUND J. BENNETT COLLECTION
In 1962, Edmund J. Bennett, self-taught residential builder and community planner, opened the Carderock Springs subdivision in Bethesda, Maryland, a housing development that promised community and modern living. Ahead of its time, the Carderock Springs subdivision featured homes with 4- and 5-bedroom floor plans, which were “modeled to cause as little alteration to the natural landscape as possible.” The homes offered privacy and natural solitude, yet families had the opportunity to build a sense of community at the centrally located clubhouse where they could play tennis, go swimming, or go sledding. One of the first communities to utilize pre-fabricated sections, underground utilities, and cul-de-sacs, Carderock Springs homes were angled towards the forest, allowing expansive views through the wide-open floor-to-ceiling windows. Some of the other “atrium houses” were built to include a vibrant courtyard at the center of the living space. While the houses looked small and cozy from the outside, the high ceilings and open floor plans provided airiness in harmony with the natural surroundings. Nestled between Congressional Country Club and Cabin John Regional Park, the subdivision offered woods, hills, and solitude only 20 minutes from downtown Washington D.C. In addition to his modern housing designs and the scenic location, Bennett was a savvy marketer. In November 1963, to publicize a newly developed section in the subdivision, Bennett, with the help of architect-designer Doris Harris, commissioned George Nakashima to completely furnish the Valleyview model home to attract the attention of contemporary buyers. Bennett’s marketing strategy paid off. On November 16, 1963, The Washington Post published an article about George Nakashima, his designs, and the Carderock Springs subdivision, bringing over 1,000 people to the model home that week alone. Mr. Bennett later stated that he had to call in his entire staff to help manage the crowds who came to see both the furniture and Mr. Nakashima. Due to its proximity to Washington and Nakashima’s contemporary designs, the development attracted a diverse group of families from around the world. To this day, the community remains internationally minded, and much of the homes are decorated with art from around the world.

The Nakashima designs created for the model home – over 30 in total – represented some of the furniture designer’s most contemporary styles and advanced woodworking techniques. Nakashima was quoted in a local newspaper at the time, stating, “I respect antiques, but I see no reason to copy them. The men who made early American furniture did not make the furniture to be antiques. They made furniture for their time.” One of these designs, the Conoid bench (1963), features a long, low slab of American black walnut that doubles as an end table, a practical and attractive innovation. The word Conoid refers to Nakashima’s incredible Conoid Studio that he had recently designed and completed in the late 1950s. The model home collection also features one of Nakashima’s most innovative designs, the Cross-legged dining table (1963). According to his daughter Mira, the cross-legged base “reflects a lightness and freedom, whimsy and joy, which must have pervaded Nakashima’s life at the time.” Additional designs from the model home featured the natural characteristics of the American black walnut wood. The Slab II coffee table (1963) presents the walnut slab’s rotted out sections, knots, and crotch figures, seamlessly complimenting Bennett and Harris’ hardwood floors and forest views.

This example of Nakashima's table lamp (1978) perfectly illustrates an important element of the relationship between designer and client. Weeks, if not months were devoted to getting the smallest details right for this order. Even a detail as seemingly insignificant as the choice between English walnut and American walnut was carefully weighed and led to three drawings and as many letters before both Nakashima and Bennett were satisfied. Nakashima preferred this type of client who understood his aesthetic and would appreciate the skill and thought that went into every small piece. The three letters shown here are included in the sale of this lamp. While not unheard of, it is extremely rare that Nakashima sent the original drawings to the client. Most examples are carbon copies that closely resemble an original sketch; these are in fact the originals.

When Edmund Bennett sold his company in 1973, he brought the entire collection into his home, and in 1989 he built a home in Bethesda designed to accommodate each piece of Nakashima furniture. Bennett admired Nakashima and his designs, and Nakashima listened carefully to his client’s requests. In 1978, Nakashima sent Bennett a detailed drawing and letter asking if a piece of English walnut would suffice, and Bennett responded that he would wait to see if Nakashima could find some American black walnut. The resulting Table lamp (executed in 1978) is a rare piece that demonstrates Nakashima’s ability to showcase both his craft and the wood’s natural beauty. Also in 1978, Bennett commissioned Nakashima for six Conoid chairs – one of his most popular designs – as well as a Frenchman’s Cove dining table. Nakashima originally produced the Frenchman’s Cove line of furniture for the Jamaican resort of the same name. It became one of Nakashima’s most popular designs, and he continued producing the table for many years. In 1984, Bennett asked Nakashima for an extension for the table as well as six more Conoid chairs. The two visionaries developed their styles independently, but their paths crossed at Carderock Springs to result in a conscientious collaboration of the era’s most innovative furniture design and architecture that would last a lifetime.

GARRY KNOX BENNETT Furniture designer and woodworker Garry Knox Bennett (b. 1934) is known for combining wood with unconventional materials such as plastic, metal, and Formica to create playful and unique pieces of furniture. Executed in 1972, this is believed to be the first clock Bennett ever created. In the signature on the back of the clock, Bennett refers to Ambrose Pillphister, his painter alter ego who painted the front of this piece. Aaron’s Belly-Button Clock, a clock with similar materials from this same period resides in the permanent collection of the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina. A native of Oakland, California, Bennett was honored with a major retrospective of his work at the Oakland Museum in 2004. “Garry Knox Bennett.” Spark . KQED.org, 2005. Web. 10 Jan. 2014.

Conditions of Sale/Notice to Buyers The following are our “Conditions of Sale” for the items listed in this catalogue to be sold by Modern Auctions, Inc. (L.A. Modern Auctions or “LAMA”). We are acting as an agent on behalf of our consignors.
Payment All sales are final. All sold lots are to be paid for on the day of the sale. We accept cash, bank wire transfers, checks, and Mastercard and Visa (PLEASE NOTE: Credit card payments are accepted only when presented in person and will not be accepted over the phone, fax, or e-mail). All payments made by personal checks will be subject to clearance before purchases can be collected. Buyers who have not purchased from Modern Auctions, Inc. (Los Angeles Modern Auctions) previously are asked to provide a method of payment and/or letter of reference from a bank or creditor prior to the auction. Bank wire information is available upon request; please phone (323) 904-1950. If payment is not received by March 5th, collection and storage fees will begin incurring immediately.

Buyer’s Premium discount ** • 22.5% on the hammer price up to and including $500,000 if bids are placed directly with Modern Auctions, Inc. AND if payment by cash, check, or bank wire is received in full by March 5, 2014. • 12.5% on the portion of the hammer price in excess of $500,000 if bids are placed directly with Modern Auctions, Inc. AND if payment by cash, check, or bank wire is received in full by March 5, 2014. ** The buyer’s premium will not be discounted for internet bidding (28%), payment by credit card, or if full payment is not received by March 5, 2014. (PLEASE NOTE: Credit card payments are accepted only when presented in person and will not be accepted over the phone, fax, or e-mail).
California Sales Tax Sales tax of 9% will be collected on all purchases removed from our premises or delivered within the state of California. Those holding a valid California State Resale License must register before each sale and present their valid resale number. No purchases will be released until all sales tax requirements are satisfied.
Estimates & Reserves The estimates printed after each lot should be used as a guide only and should not be relied upon as a prediction of final selling prices. Many of the lots offered for sale carry a reserve and are confidential. The reserve is a minimum price at which the seller has agreed to let the auctioneer sell the property.
Condition EVERYTHING IS SOLD IN “AS-IS” CONDITION. No statement regarding condition of any item, whether it is made orally at the auction or at any other time or in writing in this catalogue shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to inspect all goods prior to the sale. We strongly encourage all bidders to request a condition report on any item before bidding. All electrical items are sold for decorative value only and should be assumed not to be working. All measurements are approximate. Photographs of any lots not illustrated can be found on our website, LAMODERN.com.
Collection and Storage ALL LOTS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE AUCTION SHOWROOM BY 12:00 PM ON MARCH 5TH. Purchases not removed by March 5th will be assessed a daily storage fee of $15 per day per lot. Items in storage are not insured by Modern Auctions, Inc. Unless other arrangements are made and confirmed in writing; the buyer assumes sole responsibility for shipping, packing, insurance, and storage concerns. A list of shippers can be provided upon request.
Bidding We encourage you to attend the sale in-person. However, if you are unable to attend in person we offer an “absentee” or phone bidding service. For this service fill out and submit an “Absentee/Phone bid” form. To obtain this form please call (323) 904-1950 or go to our website. We will not execute absentee or phone bid orders unless a signed and completed bid form has been received. All Absentee/Phone bid forms must be received by Saturday,
February 22nd by 5:00 p.m. (PST) via fax to (323) 904-1954 or scanned and sent via email to: shannon@lamodern.com. We encourage you to call after faxing to confirm we have received your bid. We kindly ask that you do not call on the day of the sale to submit bids or to check if your bids were successful. All successful absentee/phone bids will be notified by phone or email by February 25th. In addition, the auction prices realized will be posted the day after the sale on our website. Do not rely on any auction results (prices realized) unless published on www.lamodern.com or as provided directly by Modern Auctions, Inc. Absentee/Phone bids are on a first-come, first-served basis; thus, we encourage you to submit your form ASAP. If identical absentee bids are submitted, the earliest received will take precedence. The number of phone lines available are limited so please submit your phone requests early. On all absentee/phone bid forms, please leave a valid credit card number with expiration date; a deposit of 25% may be required for all absentee and phone bids. Please note that we only accept credit card payments in person. For those absentee/phone bidders who are unable to come in personally to pay, we will only accept either a certified check or wire transfer as a method of payment (see “Payment” notice). The party responsible for submitting the absentee or phone bid is solely responsible for the payment in full of the total invoice. We will not make any changes to an invoice. Should a dispute arise after the sale, our sale records are conclusive. We are not responsible for failure to execute a bid and have the right to reject any bid. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. Should an item be withdrawn, the auctioneer will make an announcement at the time the lot would have been put up for sale. In addition, the auctioneer may add lots not previously listed in the catalogue or addendum. If the buyer does not comply with all of the notices to buyers, Modern Auctions, Inc. reserves the right to cancel the sale, hold the defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price and buyer’s premium, retain any deposit, and resell the property privately or at auction without further notice. In the latter, the defaulting buyer will be held responsible for all incurred expenses, such as warehouse and transportation costs, commissions, incidentals, and shall be liable for payment of any deficiency in the purchase price. This is strictly enforced. We reserve the right to assess a late charge of 1.5% of the total purchase price per month if payment is not made in accordance with any of these conditions of sale.
Guarantee The authenticity of every item offered for sale is guaranteed. Modern Auctions, Inc. warrants only the authorship of an item (as printed in BLUE type) and does not guarantee the condition, age, or any identifying characteristic used by Modern Auctions, Inc., in any descriptions such as color, method of construction, and type of materials. Any lot using the terms “attributed,” “attribution,” “in the style of,” “in the manner of,” or “after” does not qualify for our guarantee. In addition, the buyer assumes responsibility for reading all addendums and posted corrections to the catalogue prior to bidding.
Rescission Should the authenticity of an item be disputed after a sale, the buyer has 90 days from the date of the auction to provide written documentation or conclusive opinion of a mutually agreed upon independent expert, retained at the buyer's sole expense, that the item in question is not as stated in the catalogue. In the event of an error, Modern Auctions, Inc. will rescind the purchase contract. Modern Auctions, Inc. will reimburse the buyer for no more than the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium and only after the item is returned to the original point of sale in the condition in which it was sold. Taxes, packing, shipping, and storage costs will not be reimbursed. Modern Auctions, Inc. is not liable for any costs, such as expert's and attorney’s fees. If the item is authentic, as stated in the Modern Auctions, Inc. catalogue, then the purchaser shall bear Modern Auctions, Inc.’s expenses incurred in defense of the allegation, such as attorney’s fees and other costs. The limited right of rescission is only available to the original purchaser from Modern Auctions, Inc. Once the item is resold, then all rights and liabilities of Modern Auctions, Inc. regarding authenticity end. THE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST MODERN AUCTIONS, INC. FOR ANY REASON IS THE LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. The purchaser shall not be entitled to damages, compensatory, incidental, consequential, nominal or punitive, nor any expenses incurred during the proceedings, such as expert's fees, attorney’s fees, and other costs.
