Guide for Prospective Buyers Buying at Auction The following pages are designed to give you useful information on how to buy at Larasati Muse Investments Pte. Ltd - herein referred to as LARASATI - fine art auction. Buyer’s Premium A buyer’s premium is payable by the buyer of each lot at a rate of 20% on the first S$ 500,000 of the hammer price of the lot and at a rate of 12% on the amount by which the hammer price of the lot exceeds S$ 500,000. GST at the appropriate rate is payable on the hammer price and premium. These charges are explained in detail under Larasati’s charges and GST at the back of this catalog.
1. BEFORE THE AUCTION Pre-sale Estimates The pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid between the high and the low pre-sale estimates would, in our opinion, offer a fair chance of success. However, all lots, depending on the degree of competition, can realise prices either above or below the pre-sale estimates. Reserves The reserve is the minimum price the seller is willing to accept below which the lot will not be sold. Condition of Lots Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibition. Solely as a convenience, Larasati may provide condition reports. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalog description does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections.
2. THE AUCTION Conditions of Business The Auction is governed by the Conditions of Business printed in this catalog. These Conditions of Business apply to all aspects of the relationship between Larasati and actual and prospective bidders and buyers. Anyone considering bidding in the auction should read them carefully. They may be amended by way of notices posted in the saleroom or by way of announcement made by the auctioneer. Bidding at Auction Bids may be executed in person by paddle during the auction, in writing prior to the sale or by telephone. All auctions are conducted in Singapore Dollars. Auction speeds vary, but usually average between 40 - 50 lots per hour.

However, the auctioneer may change the increments during the course of the auction at his or her discretion. Bidding in Person To bid in person at the auction, you will need to register for and collect a numbered paddle before the auction begins. Proof of identity will be required. The paddle is used to indicate your bids to the auctioneer during the sale. Should you be the successful buyer of any lot, please ensure that your paddle can be seen by the auctioneer and that it is your number that is called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please draw the auctioneer’s attention to it immediately. All lots sold will be invoiced to the name and address in which the paddle has been registered and cannot be transferred to other names and addresses. Please do not mislay your paddle; in the event of loss please inform the Sales Clerk immediately. At the end of the sale, please return your paddle to the registration desk. Absentee / Written Bids If you cannot attend the auction, we will be happy to execute written bids on your behalf. A bidding form can be found at the back of this catalog. This service is free and confidential.Lots will always be bought as cheaply as is consistent with other bids, the reserves and Larasati’s commission. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence. Always indicate a “top limit”- the hammer price to which you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself. “Buy” and unlimited bids will not be accepted. Telephoned absentee bids must be confirmed before the sale by letter or fax. Fax number for bids only: +65 6737 1859. To ensure satisfactory service to bidders, please ensure that we receive your bids at least 24 hours before the sale.
Consecutive and Responsive Bidding The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The Auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing consecutive or responsive bids for a lot.
Bidding by Telephone If you cannot attend the auction, it is possible to bid on the telephone on lots with a minimum low estimate of S$ 4,000. As the number of telephone lines is limited, it is necessary to make arrangements for this service 24 hours before the sale. We also suggest that you have a maximum bid which we can execute on your behalf in the event we are unable to reach you by telephone. Bilingual staff are available to execute bids for you.
Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimates and advances in the following increments:
Successful Bids The fall of the auctioneer’s hammer indicates the final bid. The auctioneer will call out and record the name
or “paddle” number of the buyer, if your written bid is successful, you will be notified immediately after the sale by post. Bidding may be reopened at the auctioneer’s discretion. Currency Conversion Bidding is carried out in Singapore Dollars, but Larasati may provide a currency conversion board in the saleroom for the convenience of bidders.

“ It is a connotation of desire for global supremacy in the realm of power, patriotism and superiority. Based on the American belief that they are the greatest country in the world and how they worked diligently to preserve its credence with imposing military exceptionalism. However, aggression does not always come empty handed, as what they say, “In war there are no victors, only victims”. Might be true or not, the bottom line here that excessive use of power always lead to destruction and atrocity.”

Ivan Sagito has been painting things that do not take place in from of our physical eyes. It is as if he is packing up the objective facts and storing them in our mind in order to find the subjective ones. The subjective facts then grow into many phenomena. Generally, Ivan Sagito’s works try to repress the aspects of forms, pushing them into a free and deep space. Ivan’s paintings offer facts that are different with those we actually see. Umar Kayam, a late critic and literary figure, once wrote that Ivan actually viewed the outer- and the inner-world as an unstable system that can only be understood through continuous dialogues using the idioms of the inner-world. Ivan’s inner-world, meanwhile, is free from established idioms and needs to be eternally explored. The gloomy and dim colors, the silent world, the spiritual life with the figures sailing smoothly along the circle of life… all these seem to be eternally manifested on his canvases. Ivan effortlessly breaks the symbolical meanings that have been taking place before. - Excerpts from a text by Andreas Anzieb from the catalogue Interpellation, CP Open Biennale 2003, p. 216.

“Maya di Ayunan” (Maya on the Swing) “Many of Sudjojono’s works touch upon issues that emotionally mattered to him. His early revolutionary works, for example, stress his view on the importance of nationalism and Indonesian identity. These are illustrated in the works which show the beautiful landscapes of Indonesia and the struggle of Indonesian people against colonialism. His notable works like Maka Lahirlah Angkatan ’66 (“And So Was Born the Generation of ‘66”) and Sejuta Bintang di Langit (“A Million Stars in the Sky”) also mark his commentaries on social and political issues in Indonesia. In his more personal works where he painted portraits of the members of his family or scenes of the daily activities in the family, the works reflect to a great extent his love for and the importance of his family in his life.” - Santy Saptari The present lot is an exquisite picture of little Maya, Sudjojono’s youngest daughter who, unlike his other sisters, enjoyed modeling for her father. She was only 2 years old then, hence it was not easy for Sudjojono to make her stay still for a long time in order to find the perfect angle. And yet, when it comes to painting his loved ones, Sudjojono’s inner camera was always at its most powerful mode. The result in this case is a second to none portrait by the artist. Not only did he capture Maya’s beauty and innocence, but he also breathed life into this painting

At the end of the 19th century there was a growing interest in Europe for other cultures. It was in 1898 that Isaac Israels was confronted for the first time with Javanese dancers who were invited to the Netherlands on the occasion of the crowning year of Queen Wilhemina. In a letter he wrote: “… Javanese people are beautiful, … the whole day I am trying to imitate the movement of the heads and hands of the dancers…” In 1915 and 1916 Israels painted a lot of Indonesians, students at the University of Leiden. He was quite impressed by their beauty, their dignified pose and their oriental clothing. To create tropical atmosphere for this paintings he borrowed palms in post from the zoo just across the road from where he lived. In the same period he was introduced to Raden Mas Jodjana, a well-known dancer and they became friends. Israels made several paintings of Jodjana and even taught him, as a high exception, how to paint, showed him the use of colours and made him familiar with the view on paintings of the European artists. In 1921 he finally found the courage to make the long boat trip to Indonesia. He was introduced through the influence of Jodjana to the courts of Solo, made a short trip to Bali and spent some time in Batavia. His strongest paintings were made then when he combined the tropical light with the people in the streets. In a letter dated 1922 he wrote: “… I finally found out that one must let the Javanese pose in the bright sunlight …”. (Literature: Anna Wagner “Isaac Israels: venlo 1985).

57 “‘For those who wished, Bali was indeed a Paradise, but a very human one’. Into this complex, intense, and very foreign world, Willem and Maria Hofker arrived at the beginning of 1938. Here, they and their art flourished and took root, convincing them that they had found their final home. Unknowingly witness to the end of an era, in a sense the Hofkers
found and lost their paradise, suffering the horror of a Japanese internment camp and permanent separation from their beloved island, only to discover that it lived on within them and their art. Their legacy is a precious series of paintings and stories, recreating the magic kingdom of Bali through the eyes of the artists.” (Bruce Carpenter, Willem Hofker, Painter of Bali, Pictures Publishers, The Netherlands, 1993, p. 13).

Conditions of Business for Buyers
We hereby inform all those participating in the auction, that it shall be held subject to the following conditions and that anyone taking part in it, hereby accepts these conditions as applicable. Larasati as agent As auctioneer, Larasati Muse Investments Pte. Ltd. here-in referred to as Larasati acts as agent for the seller. Unless otherwise agreed, sales of goods at this auction result in contracts made between the seller, through our agency, with the buyer. Definitions of terms used in these conditionsIn the conditions set out below, some terms are used regularly that need explanation. They are as follows: • the “Buyer” means the person with highest bid accepted by the auctioneer; • a “Lot” means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any lot number in any catalog; • the “Hammer Price” means the charge pay able by the auctioneer in relation to a lot; • the “Buyer’s Premium” means the charge payable by the buyer as a percentage of the hammer price; • the “Reserve” means the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the lot cannot be sold; • “Forgery” means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalog nd which at the date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalog. Accordingly, no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including repainting); • the “Insured Value” means the amount that Larasati in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider to be the value for which a lot should be covered by insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by us).
BEFORE THE SALE Examination of goods Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. Larasati is not responsible for any faults or defects in any lot or the correctness of: - any statement as to the authorship; - origin; - date and age of the lot; - attribution; - genuineness; - provenance and conditions of any lot. Larasati does not make or give, nor has any person in the employment of Larasati any authority to make or give, any representation or warranty regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuiness, description, provenance, condition or estimate selling price of any lot. Catalog descriptions Statements by us in the catalog or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimate selling price of any lot are merely statements of opinion given in good faith, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalog illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item or to reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the lot will sell or its value for any other purpose. Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalog or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does the reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.
Buyers Responsibility Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalog description. AT THE SALE Refusal of admission Our sale takes place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at the auction. Registration before bidding Every prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. Prospective buyers should be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, prospective buyer will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that a bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a third party acceptable to us. Commission Bids If a prospective buyer gives us instructions to bid on his behalf, by using the form printed after the catalog entries, we shall use reasonable efforts to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the sale. Bids should be placed in Singapore Dollars. Bids placed in other currencies will be converted to Singapore Dollars using the one month forward rate of exchange quoted to us by HSBC Bank at opening on the date of the auction and the Singapore Dollars figure may be subject to rounding. The Buyer’s invoice will be in Singapore Dollars and we shall not be liable to the buyer for any loss suffered as a result of exchange rate movements after the date of the sale. If we receive commission bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments
67
at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the sale may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. Prospective buyers should therefore always attend personally if they wish to be certain of bidding. Telephone Bids If prospective buyers make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable efforts to contact the bidders to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone, but under no circumstances will we be liable to either the seller or any prospective buyer as a result of failure to do so. Currency Converter At this auction, a currency converter may be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by HSBC Bank at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will however take place in Singapore Dollars. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of Singapore Dollars bids.
AFTER THE SALE Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer must pay us the buyer’s premium at a rate of 20% of the first S$ 500,000 of the hammer price plus 12% of any sum in excess of S$ 500,000. Good and Service Tax (GST) Unless otherwise stated in the catalog, GST is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and premium at the rates prevailing on the date of the auction. And unless otherwise informed, all sums payable to Larasati by the buyer are exclusive of any goods and service tax or other value added tax (whether imposed is Singapore or otherwise) which shall, where appllicable, be paid by the Buyer in addition to the sums otherwise payable, at the rate in force at the due time for payment or such other time as is stipulated under the relevant legislation. Payment Following the sale, the buyer must provide us with his or her name and permanent address and, if so requested, details of the bank from which payment will be made and then pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price and the buyer’s premium) within seven days after the date of the sale.
We shall not be liable to the buyer for any loss suffered as a result of the buyer following the currency converter, rather than the Singapore Dollars bidding.
The buyer will not acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to us have been paid to us, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to the buyer.
Video images At this auction there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to the buyer regarding either the correspondence of the image to the lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.
Collection of Purchases Unless we specifically agree to the contrary, we shall retain items sold until all amounts due to us, or to Larasati or to any of its other subsidiaries, have been paid in full. Items retained will be covered by our insurance from the date of the sale for a period of seven days or, if by then the goods have been collected, to the time of collection. After seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is the earlier, the lot will be entirely at the buyer’s risk.
The auctioneer’s discretion The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.

In this case, unless we agree otherwise, the reserve shall be an amount equal to the Singapore Dollars equivalent based on the closing exchange rate on the business day immediately preceding the sale. We shall in no circumstances be liable if bids are not received at the level of the reserve. If we do so, we shall be obliged to account to the seller as if hammer price was equal to the reserve. (ii) The seller may not bid for the lot nor employ any person to do so on the seller’s behalf, although we shall have the right to bid on the seller’s behalf up to the amount of the reserve. AFTER THE SALE Accounting After the sale, we shall require payment in full from the buyer, including payment of the buyer’s premium. Provided this has occurred, we shall remit to the seller an amount equal to the hammer price less all charges due to be paid by the seller, within
35 working days after the date of the sale, unless we have received notice that the lot is a forgery (as defined in the definition of terms used in these Conditions of Business). In the event of late payment by the buyer we shall make such remittance to the seller within seven days of receipt of such payment by the buyer.

Payment will be made in Singapore Dollars.

However, we shall not be obliged either to remit the price due to the seller ourselves, nor to take any legal proceedings on the seller’s behalf. We shall discuss with the seller the appropriate course of action to be taken to recover the purchase price from the buyer. Forgeries If within 6 (six) months of the date of the auction the Buyer satisfies us that the Lot is a Forgery, with the condition that claim must be accompanied with satisfactory evidence in the form of a written opinion of at least 3 (three) independent experts with knowledge on the related property, confirming that the lot is a forgery, then: (i) if the Buyer at that time has not yet paid the full amount due, we shall have the right to cancel the sale and/or (ii) if the Buyer has paid the full amount and if we have at the time not paid the seller the whole or part of the full amount due to the seller, then we will refund to the Buyer the purchase price of the lot and/or (iii) If the Buyer had paid the full amount and if we at that time had also paid the Seller the whole or part of the full amount due, then the Seller must refund to us, on demand, the total amount paid. We shall then refund the total amount received from the Seller to the Buyer plus any balance due to the Buyer to pay back the full purchase price of the lot. The Buyer does not reserve the right to claim any interests on the purchase price paid by the Buyer. In the latter case we shall exercise a lien over any property of the Seller under our control as security for the amount due.
We reserve the right to seek for further expert opinion. There will be no refund if there is a conflict of opinion among the related experts.

Unsold Lot If any lot is unsold, or is not included in a sale, or is withdraw from the sale for any reason, it must be collected from us within 7 days after we send the seller a notice requiring the seller to collect it. If any such lot remains uncollected for a period exceeding 7 days, a storage charge of S$ 30 per item per day will apply and additional charge will be made for insurance. The seller will not entitled to collect the lot until all outstanding charges are met. If any such lot is not collected within 30 days after the date of the sale or the date of the notice referred to above (whichever occurs first), it may be disposed of by us as we see fit, which may involve its removal to a third party warehouse at the seller’s expense and its sale by public auction on such terms as we consider appropriate, including those relating to estimates and reserves. We shall then account to the seller for the proceeds of sale, having deducted all amounts due.
