A Case for Art & Design. If you have been following LAMA’s progress over the
last 22 years, you know that we have been increasingly offering more art in our auctions. In fact, this catalogue has the highest percentage of art lots (56%) of any previous sale. I am often asked if LAMA will have a “stand-alone” art auction or if I would consider separating art into its own department. This is what other auction companies do, but I feel strongly that fine and functional (decorative) arts should always be paired together into one sale. Since our first auction in October 1992, up to the present auction (we are at 62 and counting!), every LAMA sale has combined Art and Design. The reason is this: artists and designers of the 20th century used many different media and supports to create works that embraced Modernism (and, in many cases, to reject Classicism). Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, and Alberto Giacometti felt at ease in any medium whether oil on canvas, bronze, prints, or jewelry; while designers such as Charles & Ray Eames and Maria Pergay went beyond the traditional to create work that used materials in a way that blurred the line between art and design. To separate fine and functional arts by medium is a missed opportunity to see how they can interact, and the very proximity to each other can often provide additional insight into an artist’s vocabulary. In this catalogue we are excited to offer a wide range of Modern Fine Art and Design in varying media from around the world. Within each discipline there are even more ranges of styles and techniques. For example, photography by Edward S. Curtis is radically different when compared to that of Joel-Peter Witkin or Arnulf Rainer (yet somehow, there is an undeniable similarity between Curtis and the portraits by Martin Schoeller made exactly a century later). Drawings made of graphite on paper by Nancy Rubins and Alice Aycock share almost nothing in common other than the medium. And, because concept becomes increasingly more important towards the end of the century, there is little use trying to compare the acrylic work of Sam Francis with that of Mike Kelley. Mike Kelley’s Nazi War Cave #1 is a landmark of complexity in a career full of challenging works. It is difficult to understand the purposeful layers of meanings, but it is not entirely inaccessible. We are once again honored to publish arts writer Jori Finkel’s insightful observations and research, which, as usual, help us approach the work with greater context. Kelley’s influence has been and continues to be legion in the contemporary art world. Other works in this sale that show his influence are drawings by Raymond Pettibon, photography by Paul McCarthy, and an interesting sculpture titled Biblebomb #18 by Gregory Green. The Flying Carpet Daybed by Maria Pergay was a complete surprise to discover locally just a few weeks before this catalogue went into production. The fact that we were able to contact the designer and conduct a last minute interview (all during the notoriously slow month of August in France) was possible only through the connections and tenacity of Greg Cerio, former Senior Features Editor for House & Garden and former Editor-in-Chief for MODERN Magazine. We are thrilled to have the benefit of his experience and insight. Additional design highlights include large groups of furnishings by Roy McMakin and Paul László, in addition to exceptional works by Finn Juhl, Gertrud & Otto Natzler, George Nakashima, and Sam Maloof. As you view the offerings in this catalogue, we hope you will see that LAMA presents Modernism as an all-encompassing entity, where importance is not placed on the medium, but rather on the artist’s intent. And, while we continue to state our case for combining Art & Design, let us celebrate the diversity of materials while appreciating commonalities across these many disciplines.

MAX ERNST Dadaist and Surrealist Max Ernst (1891–1976) lived a life befitting an artistic itinerant of the Belle Époque, traversing cities including Cologne, Monaco, Saigon, Paris, and Beverly Hills. His marriage to Peggy Guggenheim from 1942–1946 brought him to New York, and it was this partnership that encouraged his later experiments in glass, as seen in Volto (1964). Guggenheim had always displayed an interest in the otherworldly qualities of glass, and she helped to organize the 1965 exhibition “Sculpture in Glass” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition, which included works from Pablo Picasso, Guggenheim’s then ex-husband Ernst, and
Ernst’s longtime friend, Jean Arp, was intended to draw attention to the island of Murano, Italy and its centuries-old tradition of glassblowing. The title, Volto, is the Italian term for “face,” and refers to the subtle visage that appears in the central medallion. This early glasswork anticipates the later glass masterpieces that Ernst would execute. In glass, as in all other media that he worked with, Ernst’s ingenuity and matchless creativity is evident, earning him accolades in his lifetime such as the Grand Prize for painting at the 1954 Venice Biennale and a major retrospective in 1975 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. MoMA Archives, “Sculpture in Glass,” MoMA Press Release (October 26, 1965). “Max Ernst.” Tate Collections Online. Tate Museum. Web. 30 July 2014.

VLADIMIR KAGAN Vladimir Kagan (b. 1927) entered the world of mid-20th century American design like a gust of cool air. His furniture has a startling verve, vivacity, and even sexiness: his pieces are lushly contoured, with sybaritically deep upholstered seats. Chairs feature dramatic parabolic curves and legs that thrust like those of a Bob Fosse dancer. Kagan’s early clients were, like the designer himself, young, cosmopolitan, and progressive. As a custom furniture designer, he did not have to concern himself with the requirements of mass production and mass appeal. With sensibilities more in tune with those of the master Italian designers Carlo Mollino and Gio Ponti than Charles Eames or Florence Knoll, Kagan could afford to be flamboyant. Kagan was the son of a Russian furniture maker who had immigrated twice: first to Germany (where Kagan was born) and then to the United States, just before the onset of World War II. He entered the design business in 1949, at age 22, and quickly distinguished himself with eye-catching pieces like his long, flowing Serpentine sofa. But finances were tight, and in 1950 Kagan teamed up with Hugo Dreyfuss, a talented textile designer and print maker who had money to invest. Their venture, Kagan-Dreyfuss, opened its office at 125 East 57th Street, a location just off Park Avenue and conveniently located for the kinds of clients who shopped at Tiffany and Bergdorf Goodman.
Kagan designed this desk for himself and his new partner. Sleek and striking, the piece embodies many of the attributes that have come to define the “Kagan” style. Unlike a typical partner’s desk, Kagan’s is asymmetrical and has a light, dynamic look. He placed the drawers and storage spaces—the weight of the piece—to one side, and devised dual cantilevered work spaces for the designers. The Y-shaped desktop suggests forward motion, an impression that is enhanced by book-matched walnut veneer in alternating lighter and darker bands. The Partner's desk is essentially an advertisement for the young company; it is an emblem of freshness and vigor—and a historical artifact of modern design. “Vladimir Kagan: Biography.” Vladimirkagan.com, n.d.

STANTON MACDONALD-WRIGHT Painter Stanton Macdonald-Wright (1890–1973) was a pioneer of American abstract art. As a young artist in Paris, just prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Macdonald-Wright and another young American expatriate, Morgan Russell, developed a theory of painting they called Synchromism, meaning “with color.” Their core principle was that colors, deployed in careful relation to one another, could elicit profound, specific emotional and psychological reactions. Though short-lived in practice, Synchromism was the first American avant-garde art movement to capture the attention of an international audience. The use of color would be the guiding force of MacdonaldWright’s long artistic career. At 19, Macdonald-Wright set off for Paris, where he took courses at the École des Beaux-Arts and other institutions while visiting The Louvre almost daily. He was strongly influenced by the Cubist technique, and by the reverberant color in the work of Henri Matisse and, especially, Paul Cézanne. While taking classes in modern color theory, Macdonald-Wright met Russell. They became “convinced that color and sound were equivalent phenomena and that one could orchestrate the colors of a painting the way a composer arranges notes and chords in music.” Macdonald-Wright and Russell debuted their Synchromist works at galleries in Munich and Paris in 1913. The shows were well-attended, but the reaction was often harsh—no doubt in large part because 113 STANTON MACDONALD-WRIGHT YIN SYNCHROMY

of Macdonald-Wright and Russell’s brash manifestos that declared Synchromism superior to all other forms of painting. The war sent Macdonald-Wright back to America. His work was prominently shown in New York galleries—including Alfred Stieglitz’s famed 291—but the mood of the day was too somber for Synchromism’s bright hues. Macdonald-Wright moved back to his native California in 1919, and soon established himself as the dean of modern art on the West Coast. He became director of the Art Students League of Los Angeles in the 1920s; during the Depression he headed the area’s Federal Art Project. Macdonald-Wright moved away from pure abstraction and towards figurative painting. Captivated by Asian art—he studied Chinese languages and artistic symbolism, and taught Asian philosophy and art history at UCLA for a decade beginning in 1942—he began to incorporate Asian themes and motifs in his paintings. Yin Synchromy (1925) is a classic example from Macdonald-Wright’s early mature period. Rendering in vibrant, carefully-arrayed colors, the painting depicts a reclining female nude (the yin force) juxtaposed with a tiger, representing the male yang. Following pilgrimages to Japan, Macdonald-Wright returned to abstraction and Synchromism in the 1950s. Many of his works, such as Sho Kannon (1961–1962), demonstrate an approach that synthesizes Cubist technique and a representational style, employing a figurative armature as the heart of the painting.
Macdonald-Wright regained a place in discussions of American modern art through late-life retrospectives, in particular a 1970 exhibit at the UCLA Art Galleries. Macdonald-Wright and Synchromism have since been featured in numerous exhibitions at institutions ranging from the Centre Pompidou to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work is included in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

FRITZ SCHOLDER Celebrated for his unconventional, post-modernist paintings of American Indians, Fritz Scholder (1937–2005) is a central figure in the transformation and popularization of Native American art. His paintings of American Indians subvert stereotypical, romantic images of the “noble savage” and portray American Indians as he saw them in Santa Fe, New Mexico in the 1960s and 70s—sitting in the back of a car, walking out of a bar, or holding an ice cream cone. His works convey an idiosyncratic take on social realism, convention, and myth: each painted with the artist's inimitable blend of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, learned from heroes and teachers such as Wayne Thiebaud, Francis Bacon, and renowned American Indian artist Oscar Howe.
established Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. Touring American Indian schools across the United States and surrounded by the culture, Scholder began his now famous Indian Series in 1967. In this series, he portrays reservation life through his eyes—a man of mostly German descent who claimed to have been “raised white” and only one-quarter Luiseño, an indigenous tribe of what is now Southern California. Cat Person #1 (Native American Series) features an enigmatic and alluring figure, cloaked with horns and holding a spear. Menacing and sinister, these types of portrayals angered some in the American Indian community. The images were seen as being negative and damaging, especially coming from someone of Scholder’s background.
In Upside Down Dog (1977), Scholder borrows the contorted, gaping mouth made famous by Bacon. Using a similar palette as his predecessor, the dark, moody environment is interrupted by a hint of intense color for psychological effect. The same year that he created Upside Down Dog, Scholder was profiled by People magazine, where it was reported that his work resided in the collections of movie star Robert Redford and designer Bill Blass. In addition to private collections, Scholder’s work is in major museums such as the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Scholder himself would remain somewhat ambivalent about his chosen subject for the majority of his career, but it cannot be denied that he was an advocate for change in the stymied development of Native American art. In 1972, the artist made a prescient and powerful statement proclaiming his aims for American Indian art: “I believe that there is a new Indian Art emerging. It will take many forms and will be vital. A merging of traditional subject matter with the contemporary idiom will give us a truer statement of the Indian.” Scholder made strides in combating an imperialistic and orientalist view of the American Indian, substituting it with a refreshingly real viewpoint.
Leading up to this commercial and institutional art world success was Scholder’s important contribution to the Native art movement, which began in 1961 with a scholarship to the Rockefeller Foundation’s Southwest Indian Art Project at the University of Arizona. After earning an MFA in 1964, he began teaching art history and advanced painting at the newly 152 FRITZ SCHOLDER UPSIDE DOWN DOG 1977 Oil on linen Signed lower center; titled and dated verso Together with three color posters (two signed by the artist in ballpoint pen) Canvas: 29.5" x 39.75"; Frame: 30.125" x 40.25" $6,000-9,000

MARIA PERGAY Though many in her field aspire to be called an artist, the French designer Maria Pergay (b. 1930) is that rare creator of furnishings who deserves the name. Regarded as a national treasure in her homeland—she was recently awarded the Légion d’honneur—Pergay seems to produce her elegant, spirited designs from an inner source that is equal parts intelligence, imagination, and intuition. Pieces from the relatively small, boutique-level output of her 56-year career are most often described in terms of art movements: some are seen as Minimalist, others as Surreal, still others as Mannerist. Pergay’s designs have been called feminine and anti-feminine, and a continual source of surprise is that her primary material has long been that sternest of metals: stainless steel.
Maria Pergay recently spoke with Los Angeles Modern Auctions about her methods, her materials, and more:
Pergay’s work features in both private collections and in the collections of such institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. At the same time—while she is avowedly uninterested in the ebb-and-flow of fashion—Pergay has long been a favorite of the great European couture houses, having received commissions from Christian Dior, Jacques Heim and, most recently, Fendi. The nowiconic “Flying Carpet” daybed, was the centerpiece of Pergay’s first furniture collection. When that collection was first exhibited in Paris in 1968, Pierre Cardin bought it in its entirety.
MP: It depends. Often, someone asks me a question. They would like something, they talk to me about it, and the idea comes. But in all cases, I don’t do research, I don’t make sketches.
Los Angeles Modern Auctions: From your earliest creations on, your work seems to embody such a lightness of spirit. Do you find designing fun? Maria Pergay: Well, it’s not something you do while having tea in the afternoon. No, it is difficult, strong, hard work. But to see an object come to life that did not exist— for a vision in my head to turn into a real thing in steel— yes, that is magic and I am delighted. LAMA: What is your design process?
LAMA: You are an intuitive designer. MP: An object presents itself to my vision, my eye. I see it, in my mind, and it is finished. Take the ‘Flying Carpet’: it was like giving birth! One morning I saw it—my mind projected the image of this bed. Full stop! Next paragraph! It has always been like this, for fifty years.
LAMA: Why stainless steel? MP: I had a shop on the Place des Vosges that I opened in 1960. I designed small pieces in silver— jewelry boxes, cigarette boxes. More and more people visited, and I began to receive commissions. In 1967, Ugine-Gueugnon [a major French stainless steel maker] asked me if I would work in stainless steel, and I have ever since. LAMA: What is the attraction of that material? MP: Stainless steel does not forgive. It has authority, and it helps me not to make errors. But it also shines and glows; it hints at greater things. That said, I thank all the people in the workshops, who have put their craftsmanship to my service. I am not a metal worker. I am so grateful for their hands—and, of course, for my head, that every once in a while spits out an image.
LAMA: Still, it’s nice to make an impression. How did you feel when your first collection in 1968 sold out? MP: I was at the Galerie Maison et Jardin, that’s where my first show was. Paris was in an uproar [amidst the tumultuous student demonstrations of 1968]. One of the first persons that walked in was Pierre Cardin. He was a discoverer—a great man of taste and vision. He could see a piece of cloth on the floor and understand how to make it into a dress. I am so flattered that he also discovered me. LAMA: Does designing still rekindle that feeling? MP: Oh, yes. A design realized is happiness, pure joy, a delight. I find happiness in creating. It is a need; a need I satisfy as I would satisfy hunger or thirst. LAMA would like to thank Maria Pergay for her generosity and assistance.
LAMA: You studied theatre design and costume design. Before you started a design career you were known for amazing store window displays. Do you seek to tell a story in your work? MP: No. A piece is there, and it tells its own story. 97

Mike Kelley, Nazi War Cave #1, 1985, Acrylic on paper, 68.875" x 104" Installation view, Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, 2014 Courtesy of Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts All Kelley Works Š Estate of Mike Kelley. All rights reserved.
MIKE KELLEY Throughout his intensely inventive and transgressive career, Mike Kelley had a thing for subterranean spaces. Along with holding various basement and “sub-basement” performances, he made a range of paintings and sculptures evoking tunnels, crawlspaces and caves. In the 1991 installation Lumpenprole, he buried stuffed animals beneath a crocheted blanket, creating in effect a new floor bulging with castaway childhood objects and, presumably, repressed desires or perversions. For his 1995 work Educational Complex, an architectural model showing every building where he had been schooled, he placed a mattress on the floor so that viewers could lie down and view a model of the CalArts basement screwed onto the underside of the table. CalArts later became the focus of an expanded model, Sublevel, raised on car jacks to be seen from underneath. The 2006 video installation Rose Hobart II took the form of a narrow black wooden tunnel that visitors could worm their way through in order to reach the light, that is, a peephole viewing of the famous shower scene from the movie Porky's. And Kelley’s interest in caves, those oddly homey but claustrophobic spaces, dates to at least two decades earlier, as seen in some early performances as well as in the powerful 198586 installation Plato's Cave, Rothko’s Chapel, Lincoln's Profile.
Most memorably, Kelley hung one painting that is now owned by the Museum of Modern Art, Exploring (1985), so low across a door frame that visitors had to get down on hands and knees to enter the space—dramatically undercutting museum protocols that reward proper posture and sophisticated comport. The painting was “positioned like a dominatrix,” George Baker points out in his subterranean-themed essay, “Mike Kelley: Sublevel.” Words printed on the work, in the hollows created by stalactite and stalagmite imagery, reinforce the point: “WHEN SPELUNKING SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO STOOP…. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO ON ALL FOURS… SOMETIMES EVEN CRAWL….CRAWL WORM!!” Nazi War Cave #1 (1985), a black-and-white acrylic painting, also from Plato's Cave, Rothko’s Chapel, Lincoln's Profile, features some similar crystalline imagery and its own provocative text snippets running along the margins. And it too proves arresting. To be sure, this painting (and its counterpart from the following year, Nazi War Cave #2, which reverses the black ground and white foreground) is engaging on many levels. The scene of an Ice-Age-cave-meets-high-tech munitions storehouse, which prefigures some of the cave sculptures of Kelley’s Supermaninspired Kandor series, has the graphic appeal of a comic-book strip. And the powerful renderings of Teutonic axes pack a bamwham sort of punch. Continue to page 114
Originally made in 1985 as a site-specific work for the Brooklyn Anchorage called The Trajectory of Light in Plato’s Cave, a fuller version with the new title was soon installed at the Rosamund Felsen Gallery in Los Angeles. Another iteration later appeared at Metro Pictures in New York, where he also did a performance by the same title at Artists Space in collaboration with Sonic Youth. The script of that performance, published in book form, teases some of the themes implicit in the installation itself, with the classical idea of the philosopher who transcends the murkiness of material forms (à la Plato’s parable of the cave) giving way to a more modern and subversive celebration of the underground (the naked truth of a dark pit or “the richness of mud,” as Kelley put it). Throughout he plays a mean game with power dynamics, exposing the “philosophical, political or sexual hierarchies to which we capitulate,” in the words of Art in America critic Kathy O’Dell. Recognized as a turning point from performance to installation art for Kelley, Plato's Cave, Rothko’s Chapel, Lincoln's Profile is also an example of how the artist used paintings as a makeshift or illicit (certainly not up-to-code) sort of architecture.

Meanwhile, some sayings on the painting, like “YODEL ON THIS BRO’” and “YOO HOO—SWISS MISS!!” directly address the viewer, drawing us to the smaller and denser text nearby, whether on the outsourcing of American production or the defilement of nature. Despite making such bids for our attention, Nazi War Cave #1 is also designed to thwart the viewer visually, much as Exploring does physically. For at the heart of the cave, which is also the work’s central vanishing point according to the principles of Renaissance perspective, stands the outline of a large swastika—one of the few national or political symbols that can be as repellant as a physical barrier. Even though it has been rendered with relatively faint lines, the swastika here has the power to stop one cold. What was the artist thinking? As an art historian on the case, you can find other examples of swastikas in the work of contemporaries (most notably Sigmar Polke) as well as Kelley’s own work (he once defaced an image of Abraham Lincoln by adding a swastika to his forehead.) As a viewer familiar with Kelley’s own class-conscious, anti-establishment ethos (which Sterling Ruby nicely summarized as “a perfect bastard culmination of punk rock, blue-collar politics, craft appropriation and criminality”), you can trust that Kelley is not naively embracing the anti-Semitism or military brutality of Hitler’s Third Reich. But whatever your approach, you can’t quite deny the work’s push-pull tension. As Kelley said to art historian Eva Meyer-Hermann in 2011, in the last interview conducted before his suicide, “You know as well as I do that most viewers look at art for about two seconds and then they’re out the door. I have always appreciated complexity in artworks; the fact that the works are high minded or silly is less important than their complexity. That is the true content of the work—its structure.” Like Kelley’s work on legendary criminals (and their kinship with great but also lawless artists), this painting captures a rather Miltonic struggle between the creative or generative forces of dark and light. And like so much of his work more broadly, Nazi War Cave #1 works to both attract and repel viewers, include and exclude them. In other words, welcome to the unwelcoming cave, where the darkness is—never mind Plato—pregnant with flashes of light. Jori Finkel

CHRIS BURDEN In the late 1970s during the first phase of his career, the Los Angeles-based visual artist and sculptor Chris Burden (b. 1946) executed a group of projects that examined notions of transparency, openness, and identity. Burden had employed numerous personae in documented performance pieces prior to executing his celebrated project Merry Christmas from Chris Burden (1976) and his installation Full Financial Disclosure (1976–77), critics noted: that of a daredevil sensation-seeker in Shoot (1971), when he arranged to have himself shot in the arm with a .22 caliber rifle; that of a servant in Garçon! (1976), where he acted as a waiter, fetching coffee for visitors to an art gallery. With Merry Christmas from Chris Burden, critic Anne M. Wagner wrote in Artforum, he became a “budding Mæcenas.” Burden sent 100 specially printed envelopes containing a holiday greeting and a fresh $10 bill to fellow artists and acquaintances. “Was this a big gesture or a small one? The answer, like so much in economic relations, depends on where you stand,” Wagner noted. “It is easy to imagine Burden’s offering being quite carefully parsed by its beneficiaries, though whether gratefully or skeptically is harder to decide.” 228 CHRIS BURDEN FULL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE 1976-77 Check mounted to paperboard Signed lower right check; signed, dated, and inscribed lower center Image/sheet (vis.): 9.625" x 13.25"; Frame: 10.5" x 14" Exhibited:

The following year Burden realized Full Financial Disclosure (1976–77), a slyly earnest endeavor that emerged in the context of the cynicism and mistrust engendered by Vietnam, Watergate, and a host of congressional sex, bribery, and fraud scandals. Burden executed Full Financial Disclosure in multiple media: a television commercial that ran 30 times in late-night slots on local L.A. stations in the autumn of 1977, concurrent with an exhibition at the Jan Baum-Iris Silverman Gallery. In the commercial, Burden soberly intoned: “In keeping with the Bicentennial Spirit, the post-Watergate mood, and the new atmosphere on Capitol Hill, I wish to be the first artist to publically make a full financial disclosure.” TV graphics detailed his income and expenditures for 1976. The Jan Baum-Iris Silverman Gallery show consisted of Burden’s cancelled checks and IRS filings for that year. Burden also produced a documentary booklet that offered a month-by-month accounting of his credits and debits. (Lot 228), a check to Burden's dealer at the time, Ronald Feldman Fine Arts for expenses incurred for the 1977 show C.B.T.V. [Chris Burden Television], was used as the cover image of the Full Financial Disclosure booklet. Chris Burden, Full Financial Disclosure, Jan Baum-Iris Silverman Gallery, Los Angeles 1977.

PAUL MCCARTHY Artist Paul McCarthy (b. 1945) takes the philosophies and characters that Americans hold most dear and lampoons them in sculpture, performance, and video works. Combining opposing values of the erotic and vulgar with innocence, nostalgia, and charm, McCarthy upends cultural codes and questions what he sees as being arbitrary assignations of value and morality. In a series of performances and mixed-media installations staged in Tokyo, Zürich, and Santa Monica in the late 1990s, McCarthy targeted the cherubic Santa Claus of holiday folklore. McCarthy plays the role of a frightening, bumbling Santa Claus in his performance Tokyo Santa (1999). In Untitled (Tokyo Santa #2), a still taken from the performance, he wears a gruesome rubber mask and is seemingly 237 PAUL MCCARTHY UNTITLED (TOKYO SANTA #2) 1999 Cibachrome print #3 of 6 Image/sheet (vis.): 68.5" x 47"; Frame: 71.5" x 50.5" Literature:

bloodied. Instead of a fur-trimmed velvet suit, McCarthy’s Santa is stripped down to his long underwear. Santa crouches down boorishly, as brown liquid shoots out seemingly from his groin. In McCarthy’s body of work, the recurrent reference to bodily excretions and genitals serves to shock and humiliate, as well as to break down a false sense of decorum and subjective standards. For example, McCarthy frequently uses staples of the wholesome American pantry such as mayonnaise, ketchup, and Hershey’s chocolate syrup to mimic unsavory bodily fluids.

ROY MCMAKIN Artist and designer Roy McMakin (b. 1956) dissolves the border between art and utilitarian object in his custom-made and small-batch furniture collections. In the 1980s, McMakin owned a bustling showroom called Domestic Furniture on Beverly Boulevard, where he attracted customers such as artist John Baldessari, and Lisa Eisner, former fashion editor at Vogue and Mademoiselle. The Unique desk (c. 1986) was the center of business at the showroom. The design is straightforward, yet its details are delightful to observe and experience. McMakin painted the rectangular desk a saturated blue, leaving unpainted areas which demarcated where office supplies such as notepads and folders might be placed. The permanently raised drawer is where the Domestic Furniture catalogue would be displayed. McMakin’s playful approach to designing furniture is underpinned by a conceptualism absorbed from his studies at the UCSD with avant-garde artists such as Allan Kaprow and Eleanor Antin. Other important influences include Hard Edge painter John McLaughlin, whose impact can be seen in the Unique desk, American architect Irving Gill, and the Art and Crafts movement. His designs subtly manipulate scale and dimension to create furniture that is meant to be noticed, and never taken for granted—a knob much too big for its drawer, or a tiny ottoman paired with an overstuffed lounge chair, for example. There is an undeniable sense of wit and whimsy in his work. For the Wing armchair (1989), McMakin played with the lines and proportions of the prototypical upholstered armchair to create a charming lounger that approaches the anthropomorphic. The side panels of the chair back swell out at an angle, resembling wings or ears. Continue to page 133

The arms extend out, as if to meet the sitter’s tired arms halfway at the end of a long day. The first McMakin piece that Baldessari acquired was a chair identical to the Wing armchair, rendered in blue fabric. Baldessari recalls of his first time at the Domestic Furniture showroom: “I instantly fell in love with a large blue upholstered armchair. […] That was when my addiction began.” McMakin would go on to create an extra-large custom bed for the six-foot-seven artist, and a made-to-order dining table and chairs, among other commissions and orders. McMakin’s sense of visual play and punning enlivens the Fecund sofa (1988), featuring a plush seat cushion emblazoned with embroidered letters spelling out the word “fecund.” The item was a custom order for Eisner, an influential fashion personality and frequent shopper at Domestic Architecture. With its overstuffed cushion and chaise lounge form, the sofa encourages a languid pose and alludes to female sensuality,
fullness, and richness. The sofa also obliquely refers to Eisner’s brimming family life and career, as she has been noted for inspiring icons and designers including Madonna, Tom Ford, and Isaac Mizrahi. In an apropos nod to the humor that McMakin utilized in his own work, he was asked to design the set for “The Tonight Show,” hosted by comedian Jay Leno in the 1990s. Eventually, McMakin was asked by clients to overhaul interiors and remodel or design entire homes. In 2003, McMakin’s impressive body of work and career trajectory was traced in an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Examples of his innovative pieces can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Darling, Michael.

ROBERT NATKIN Born in 1930 to a family mired in dysfunction and Depressionera poverty, Robert Natkin (1930–2010) found art to be an escape from the darkness of life, and devoted himself to creating paintings that shimmered with light and color. At the age of seventeen, Natkin had an epiphany when he encountered a book on Paul Klee, prompting him to enroll at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He was deeply influenced and affected by the Art Institute of Chicago’s comprehensive holdings in Post-Impressionist and Abstract Expressionist painting. #6 (1963) is a characteristic work from Natkin’s pivotal Apollo Series, named after the mythological sun god and referring to the radiance of the paintings. The piece shows the artist at the height of his achievement. Soft, loose stripes of lavender and marigold become taut and invigorated against streaks of bold

blues and reds. In what Natkin called “visual vibrato,” the tension and contrast between the vertical bands of color are activated, so that the eye sees a greater luminescence and brilliance on the canvas. Like the glowing domestic interiors of Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse, artists whose images Natkin tacked up on his studio walls, the Apollo Series is an investigation into the effects and possibilities of intermingling color and light. Today, Natkin’s work is held in major public collections across the United States, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and, finally, the Art Institute of Chicago, the galleries of which he rambled as a young student.

LEBBEUS WOODS Upon his death at 72, lengthy obituaries of Lebbeus Woods (1940–2012) appeared, significantly, in both Architectural Record and Artforum. Woods was that rare figure who commanded attention and respect in two major fields of creative enterprise, as an architect and as a fine artist. Among architects, Woods was revered as a visionary, provocative conceptualist who challenged his colleagues to defy conventions and commercial restraints. While some projects drafted in pencil and ink might seem wistful—a tomb in outer space for Albert Einstein, for example—most of his drawn plans were intended as calls to action that dealt with global conflicts and catastrophes. Woods conceived of an underground city below divided Berlin, where citizens of East and West Berlin could meet and gather; he drew a scheme for a new, post-earthquake San Francisco: a city that would gently move in response to seismic shifts. And if such ideas seem fantastical, above all, Woods’ aim was to combat complacency. Woods’ futuristic renderings and drawings are admired for their strength and clarity of line, and imagery that recognized
parallels between the built environment and human psychology. Artforum noted: “Complex, chaotic, sometimes violent, and relentlessly avant-garde, Woods’ drawings explode with a kind of cosmic beauty. Shards of glass and steel morph and recombine into metallic animal-machines that walk high above cities. Buildings tear and bleed, only to grow scabs and heal into new form.” Airplane Parts (1992–93) presents an image of cryptic engineering and mechanical forms composed of curved and complex geometric elements. While such enigmatic, esoteric schema are often compared to science fiction, Woods rejected the notion. “I think that these things could be built,” he once said. “I would like them to be built, and to see what we can do with them, to see what they would mean to us.” Lamster, Mark. “Lebbeus Woods: 1940-2012.” News.

LOWELL NESBITT Throughout his career, Lowell Nesbitt (1933–1993) approached a variety of subject matter using the format of a series, but he is most well-known for his large, seductive flower paintings. His flowers reached a populist zenith in the 1980s when the United States Postal Service issued a set of four stamps with Nesbitt’s designs. However, Nesbitt’s lush, emotive flower paintings belie their complicated theoretical basis and the formal, architectonic qualities of their making. Working off of images found in seed catalogues, Nesbitt created an initial sketch, and then plotted out the enlarged image onto the canvas using a grid system. To achieve the natural, soft form of the flower, he counterintuitively painted using geometric shapes while alternating the softness and hardness of line. At the outset, Anemone ’64 (1964) looks strikingly photorealistic, but closer inspection reveals subtle abstractions and alluring artistic liberties. The edges of the anemone petals oscillate with

accents of red and blue. The petals curve sumptuously inward, culminating in an amber and gold crown of stamens that surround a highlighted gray mound of pistils. It is no wonder that Nesbitt’s paintings are often thought of as sensual and alluding to the body. Surprisingly, Nesbitt had a different theory, comparing his serial flower paintings to Robert Rauschenberg’s Factum I and Factum II of 1957, in which the latter artist created one work in the manner of a tempestuous action painting by Jackson Pollock, then followed it up by attempting to mimic the unrepeatable, spontaneous process. It is this complex foundation under an undeniable aesthetic beauty that fueled Nesbitt’s popularity both in and out of the art world. Lowell Nesbitt: The Flower Series 1964-1973.

JOHN CHAMBERLAIN A seminal figure in the history of modern art, the American sculptor John Chamberlain (1927–2011) is best known for his brightly-painted abstract assemblages of scrap automotive steel; works that straddle the spheres of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Among artists and art historians, Chamberlain is particularly honored for his use of unconventional materials, a practice that changed critical thinking on the nature of sculpture. As the artist and critic Donald Judd wrote, Chamberlain’s openwork, interstitial forms made of everyday substances challenged “the prevailing idea of sculpture as a solid mass.” Chamberlain sculpted with just about anything. Successful experiments employed paper bags, aluminum foil, and Plexiglas. “One day something—some one thing—pops out at you, and you pick it up, and you take it over, and you put it somewhere else, and it fits,” Chamberlain said of his materials. “It’s just the right thing at the right moment.” From 1966 into the 1970s, that “something,” almost exclusively, was urethane foam rubber. His experiments began when the artist played with household sponges and twine, which led to larger scale sculptures that Chamberlain intended for use as furniture, including Cradle (1985). “Chamberlain cut, folded, and tied [pieces of urethane foam] to make a kind of instant sculpture—direct, graceful, and im-
mediate,” according to the exhibition notes for a show of some 30 of these lesser-known Chamberlain sculptures at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas. “The work presents another aspect, complementary to the steel sculptures, of Chamberlain’s unique exploration of form and materiality.” Art historian Klaus Kertess has pointed out that foam sculptures such as Cradle render more specific the sexual and anatomical references that appear only suggestively in Chamberlain’s steel sculptures. Moreover, Kertess adds, Chamberlain’s deployment of sculpture as furniture anticipates by several years efforts in a similar vein by Scott Burton, and, later, Jorge Pardo. Chamberlain’s foam sculptures are seldom exhibited because the material is sensitive: urethane degrades in natural light. Many of these rare works, including Cradle, are accompanied by protective cloth covers. Put in place, the covers only add to the layers of associations and ambiguities inherent in Chamberlain’s art.

ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989) was immersed in what was perceived to be the fringes of society during the 1970s and 80s. He socialized and worked with artists, musicians, pornographic actors, and initiates of the S&M underground to create images that are electric with sexuality and beauty, yet balanced by a classical composition and the black and white format. Portraiture was important to his work as he explored culture and identity in his snapshots of personalities ranging from Andy Warhol to Debbie Harry. In his poignant photographic inquiry, he often used himself as a subject, creating selfportraits in many guises: clothed, nude, and in drag. For Mapplethorpe’s 1985 Self Portrait, he dons a pair of horns and looks intensely at the camera, perhaps challenging or enticing the viewer. The horns bring up many associations: the dichotomy of good and evil in Christianity; the Greek god Dionysus, aligned with debauchery and sexual hedonism; and, finally, the animalistic. Indeed, Mapplethorpe's proclivity for "sexual wonders" and "erotic monstrosities" has frequently been cited as an inspiration as well as a base for exploration in his work. At the same time, the work is not simply about sexual

indulgence. Mapplethorpe is nude and depicted in half-length, like an antique or Neoclassical bust. His horns and tousled locks resemble the satyrs of classical mythology, who were male companions to Dionysus. Mapplethorpe cleverly sets S&M fetishism and gay culture within the language and framework of classical sculpture. Self Portrait from 1985 is a profound example of how Mapplethorpe challenged accepted boundaries and brought attention to marginal communities. The self-portrait was an important trope for Mapplethorpe throughout his experimental and provocative career. He would create one of his last self-portraits in 1988, a year before his death from AIDS-related complications. Prior to his passing in 1989, Mapplethorpe was honored with a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The artist’s proof of this print resides in the collection of the Solomon R.

ARNALDO POMODORO Arnaldo Pomodoro (b. 1926) is widely regarded as Italy’s greatest post-war avant-garde sculptor. His enigmatic work is evocative of conflict and reconciliation, destruction and renewal. Pomodoro has explored such themes in bronze high reliefs that incorporate a kind of personal handwriting, composed of positive and negative spaces, gnomic symbols, glyphs, and cross-hatched striations. His three-dimensional works, notably his monumental Spheres Series, feature polished cast bronze surfaces broken by fissures and fractures revealing crystalline blocks, bars, and ribs that are, Pomodoro says, “an expression of an internal movement.” Pomodoro took an ostensibly oblique path to fine art. He trained as a civil engineer, and immediately after World War II served as a consultant on the reconstruction of damaged public buildings. In those years he also studied stage design and trained as a goldsmith. With his brother, Gio, Pomodoro moved to Milan in 1954 to open a jewelry design business. There he bonded with a community of artists and writers, among them Lucio Fontana, Enrico Baj, the poet Roberto Sanesi, and photographer Ugo Mulas. Energized and enlightened, Pomodoro found, in sculpture, a focus for all his skills: an architect’s sense of scale, volume and proportion; a set designer’s feel for drama, presentation, and narrative; and a jeweler’s facility with metal and devotion to detail. Towards the end of the 1950s, Pomodoro began his Tavola Series of sculptural reliefs. The planar Tavola saw Pomodoro exploring vital aesthetic, philosophical, and technical questions that he would examine in rounded three-dimensional form with his Spheres Series, which were first presented in 1963. This untitled piece from 1961 is a construction of sorts. It is composed of separate cast silvered bronze segments, or stages, built one atop another. Opposing vertical and horizontal forms in the piece imply a slow progression of stops and starts; hesitation and reengagement. Yet the movement in the sculpture is ever upward, ultimately suggesting growth and renewal. Similar examples from the early 1960s are in the permanent collections of the Museo del Parco in Portofino, Milan’s Museo della Permanente, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. Sculptures from Pomodoro’s Spheres Series are displayed in venues including the Vatican, the United Nations headquarters, and the campuses of Princeton University and the University of California at Berkeley. Pomodoro’s work is also found in the collections of numerous museums, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Courtauld Gallery. “Pomodoro Arnaldo: Biography.” Collection Online.

KEM WEBER The Berlin-born and trained architect and designer KEM Weber (1889–1963) arrived in the United States in 1914, during the initial wave of progressive Central European architects, designers and artists. Weber, along with Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, Paul T. Frankl and Ilonka Karasz, would profoundly affect the course of American modernism. Weber (“KEM” was a self-styled acronym for his given name: Karl Emanuel Martin) was an accidental immigrant. He had been sent to San Francisco by his teacher-turned-employer, the great proto-modernist architect Bruno Paul, to oversee an exhibition installation. Marooned by the outbreak of World War I, Weber was unfazed for he had quickly grown to love California. Gaining U.S. citizenship in 1924, Weber’s early years in America were difficult. When design commissions were hard to find, he took jobs as a lumberjack, chicken farmer, and art school teacher. But in 1921, impressed by his portfolio, the Barker Bros. department store of Los Angeles hired Weber. Five years later Weber persuaded the store—the largest furniture retailer in the United States at the time—to open a new full-floor department devoted to modern design. Weber delivered lectures on modernism nationwide and won a reputation as a champion of a new, clean and elegant style. It is a measure of his prominence that, in 1928, the Friedman Silver Company of Brooklyn issued a KEM Weber signature line of silver-plated tea and coffee services, cocktail shakers, and barware. Pieces from that collection (Lot 382) were the cutting edge of style, sharing the same striking, tiered geometries as Paul T. Frankl’s famous and simultaneously-produced “Skyscraper” furniture. Weber’s undoubted masterpiece is the Airline chair (designed 1934–35). The chair has become an emblem of 20th century design, and appears in the collections of the Victoria & Albert 382 KEM WEBER SUGAR AND CREAMER (2) Model no.

Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it was a centerpiece of the landmark 2011–2012 exhibition California Design, 1930–1965: “Living in a Modern Way.” The Airline chair was the realization of Weber’s career-long goal: to achieve a wholly American form of modern design—sleek, trim, and stylish; yet comfortable, easygoing, and practical. With its raked, gently angular frame and cantilevered seat, the form of the chair suggests movement, speed, and forward progression. Weber named it the Airline chair to associate the design with the signal technological triumph of the day: commercial aviation. In a practical innovation far ahead of its time, the Airline chair was designed to be sold flat-packed in segments for easy home assembly. The design seemed perfect for mass-production, but Weber was never able to convince a major manufacturer to take it on. One problem may have been the price: $24.75 was more than the average worker's weekly salary in the Depression years. In the end, fewer than 300 Airline chairs were produced. Most of those were bought by the Walt Disney Company in 1939 for use in the projection rooms and executive offices of its Burbank animation studios, for which Weber was the project architect. Today, surviving examples of the Airline chair rarely come to market. “Airline Chair.” The Collections. Victoria & Albert Museum, London, n.d. Web. 27 Aug. 2014.

PAUL L ÁSZLÓ The architect and interior designer Paul László (1900–1993), the story goes, once refused a commission from Elizabeth Taylor because the actress insisted that she be allowed to collaborate with him on her decorating scheme. Other clients— who included Barbara Stanwyck, Cary Grant, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Barbara Hutton—could have advised Taylor that he did just fine on his own. László turned his hand to every element in the décor “down to the last ashtray,” as Time once wrote of him. From the late 1930s and well on into the 1960s, among members of the smart set nationwide his name was a byword for sumptuous modernity. Like his clients, László was at ease with luxury—not the luxury of the rare and precious, but the luxury of rich colors and textures, and deep comforts. But, he also had a contemporary élan, shown in an appreciation for spaces that were bright, airy, uncluttered, and up-to-date. Aligned with no artistic or design movements, László relied on his own carefully-honed instincts. Born in Hungary at the turn of the century, László learned about quality from his father, a prosperous furniture manufacturer. In Vienna, where he trained and worked, László absorbed ideas of beauty, grace, and warmth. He learned his technical skills in Stuttgart, and there, at age 27, he established an upscale design business that gained an international reputation. Nine years later, with the Nazis entrenched, László, a Jew, left Germany for America. He

made his way to Los Angeles, where he was pleased to find that his Stuttgart credentials carried weight. While he had any number of large commercial assignments— many for national department stores—custom residential work was László’s stock in trade. In 1946, Laszlo was commissioned to furnish the interior of Rene William's residence in Beverly Hills. The designs made for the Rene Williams residence display many of the classic earmarks of László interior furnishings. The “Paddle” armchairs (Lots 414, 415, 416) are more than generously proportioned, and feature namesake armrests that are flat and wide—perfect spots to rest a cocktail. Case goods, tables and dining chairs have clean, elegant lines, and, rather like the Wiener Werkstattë furniture László knew in Vienna, are simplyformed, yet somehow warm. László frequently employed artisans who were also Central European émigrés to realize his designs, and one of his favorites was the weaver Maria Kipp (1900–1988). The lampshades for (Lots 420, 421) are one of her signature constructions, featuring macramé-like horizontal bands that hold in place a vertical array of slender sticks. Like every facet of a László interior, the shades contribute to an environment that is at once robust and relaxed.

DAVE MULLER Wry, idiosyncratic, and slyly philosophical, Los Angelesbased artist Dave Muller (b. 1964) is best known for acrylic-and-ink works on paper that explore the transformative nature of our experience of art and artists. Born in San Francisco, he earned a B.A. in chemistry and art at the University of California at Davis, and an M.F.A. from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia. Muller is fascinated by the graphic ephemera associated with both high and popular culture: art gallery announcements, invitations, promotional posters, vinyl LP album covers, book jackets, and newspaper comic strips. In 1994, Muller began painting stylized watercolor announcements for gallery exhibitions of fellow L.A. artists, as well as posters for “Three Day Weekends”: art happenings he hosted regularly, until 2000, in neighborhood venues. Muller later extended the gallery announcement concept to re-imagined exhibitions by canonical artists. In 1999 he produced a group of promotional pieces for a Jackson Pollock retrospective; in 2000, a set of mock posters for a show of Andy Warhol’s Oxidation paintings.
The present lot, I Couldn’t Find a Single Pedestal Chair at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, marks an important step in the broadening of Muller’s milieu beyond California. Muller created the work shortly after his art was first shown internationally, at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. The source material is a late 1950s marketing placard by Swiss graphic designer Herbert Matter for the furniture maker Knoll, Inc. Next to Matter’s slab-serif “K” logo, Muller inserts a small “B” for Bethanien. Through this gesture, the poster has come out of the confines of the showroom and has entered the art world at large. Muller's work can be found in the collections of numerous museums, including the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Hammer Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. “Dave Muller: Connections.” The Hammer Museum.

ANTON HENNING To review Anton Henning’s (b. 1964) body of work to date is like flipping through a modern art history reference book or walking through the contemporary wing of a museum. With a penchant for pastiche, Henning’s hand at times resembles the cubism of Pablo Picasso, the wry humor of Marcel Duchamp, or the phantasmagoria of the Surrealists. The artist explains: “I don’t like being pinned down. […] I challenge myself to contradict myself.” Using art history as source material, the artist moves swiftly and deftly between genres with no prescribed order. He reinterprets artworks and artists that have come before him, and in the process prompts questions regarding style, art history, and the role of the artist as a creative force. The feeble paint drippings, pasted photo clippings, and fabric

strips in Henning’s Icon in Bed (1989) have the unmistakable appearance of a Robert Rauschenberg collage. The title refers to one of Rauschenberg’s most iconic works, Bed (1955), in which Rauschenberg splattered paint on his own bed and hung it up as a work of art. Covered in large blocks of gray, Henning's Portrait of a Mother (1988) alludes to Rauschenberg’s lover, friend, and collaborator, Jasper Johns, who was famous for his prolific use of the dark shade. The nonsensical, mismatched title is typical of Henning—a cue to the viewer to look and think again. Unfettered by categorization, Henning repeats and remixes art history so that we may re-experience it, and, perhaps, reconsider entrenched meanings. Anton Henning: Stillfragen/Questions of Style.

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 October 24, 2014, collection and storage fees will begin incurring immediately.
BUYER’S PREMIUM • 25% on the hammer price up to and including $500,000 if bids are placed directly with Modern Auctions, Inc. • 15% on the portion of the hammer price in excess of $500,000 if bids are placed directly with Modern Auctions, Inc.
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 October 24, 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 October 24, 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 October 24, 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 OCTOBER 24, 2014. Purchases not removed by October 24, 2014 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,
October 11, 2014 by 5:00 p.m. (PST) via fax to (323) 904-1954 or scanned and sent via email: 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 bidders will be notified by phone or email by October 14, 2014. 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.
