Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, in collaboration with the Roger Brown Study Collection of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Kavi Gupta, offers the contents of Roger Brown’s southern California home and garden. In the late 1980s, Brown, seeking a new place to work in a warmer climate, built his Temple of Painting in La Conchita, California, commissioning Stanley Tigerman to design the new home. After the house was completed in 1993, Brown quickly applied his discipline of looking, finding, and acquiring objects of interest by combing area thrift shops, yard sales and swap meets. The home was filled with arrangements of all manner of objects, especially vernacular ceramics, many of which were incorporated into his 27 Virtual Still Life series of object paintings from 1995 and 1996. The La Conchita home combined Brown’s interests in architecture, collecting, and gardening during the final chapter of his life. Proceeds will support the Roger Brown Study Collection of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

ROGER BROWN IN LA CONCHITA

In the late 1980s, tiring of Chicago winters, Roger Brown (1941-1997) searched for a place to build a winter studio in a warmer climate. He was drawn to southern California, in part because it was the last place that he and his partner, George Veronda (1940-1984), traveled together before Veronda died. When he discovered the property at 6754 Ojai in La Conchita––a single lot with a fence, grass, carport, and a 1955 Spartan trailer––he knew it had to be his next home. La Conchita (“little shell” in Spanish) is a modest beach community south of Santa Barbara. In addition to the lush local flora, dozens of exotic varieties of bananas were grown in La Conchita, despite the prevailing view that banana farming was not viable in California. Brown may have intuited that it was a good place for a home and garden. The “Royal Mansion” Spartan trailer parked at 6754 Ojai sparked Brown’s interest in the property. The Spartan was designed in 1955 by the Getty Corporation, which manufactured Spartan Aircraft Trailers beginning in 1945 in a retrofitted aircraft factory in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in a post-war effort to provide much needed inexpensive housing for returning veterans. Spartans were streamlined beauties and came in five sizes: Spartanette (the smallest), Manor, Manor Tandem, Mansion, and Royal Mansion. Brown purchased 6754 Ojai in 1988, and moved into his Spartan Royal Mansion. In a surprise departure from his previous work with plants and gardens, Brown first created an austere, Asian-style raked gravel garden with islands of rock and subtle greenery––an elegant and spartan setting for his elegant Spartan. He lined the east border with rose shrubs in a stone bed––beginning, we think, his fervent interest in rose cultivation that was fully explored in his New Buffalo, Michigan, garden, where he planted over 400 rose shrubs in many varieties in 1993 and 1994. His interest in roses was further expressed in his sequence of four Rosa paintings made in 1993 and 1994. As writings in Brown’s sketchbook indicate, the Royal Mansion was perfect in many ways. He found a dwelling that reflected his visual vocabulary and design ethos essentially. He appointed the Spartan with furnishings that harmonized with the Spartan’s streamlined design, including Russel Wright dinnerware. The Spartan became his muse and museum. Brown’s La Conchita home and garden were ideal, aesthetically, but lacked space for a studio. Brown rented studio space nearby for a time, but he eventually commissioned Chicago architect Stanley Tigerman to design his La Conchita “Temple of Painting.” It’s been said that he traded his painting, Stanley Tigerman in his Domain for the design of his La Conchita home. After ludicrous and protracted struggles with neighbors and the Ventura County Planning Commission, which he expressed in his 1989 painting, Citizens Killing Themselves After Having To Deal With the Ventura County Coastal Planning Commission (if you’re dreaming of California it doesn’t matter where you played before California is a whole new game), the house, carport, and garage were completed in 1993. Handsome and broad-shouldered, part barn, part basilica, with Romanesque clerestory, Brown’s new home had walls of stucco painted a deep salmon-pink, inspired by the color of the La Purisima Mission in nearby Lompoc. Brown planted a formal line of six full-size Mexican Fan Palms (Washingtonia Robusta) along the front, scaled perfectly to the proportions of the house. A row of skyrocket junipers lined the rear, and a plump agave anchored the front of the Spartan, which was tucked in the rear corner of the property after the house was constructed, despite seemingly insurmountable zoning conflicts. Brown prevailed and the Spartan remained. CONTINUED, PAGE 7

Brown ramped up his discipline of looking, finding, and acquiring objects of interest. He combed area thrift shops, yard sales, and swap meets, often accompanied by his dear friend Linda Cathcart. He regularly returned with a car full of treasures and decked out his La Conchita “Temple of Painting,” inside and out, with carefully composed arrangements of furniture and objects. Brown shifted gears from the types of objects he collected for his homes in the Midwest (Chicago and Michigan), scoring a range of 1950s black panther items in ceramic, pressed copper, and a grand hooked rug, Mexican dia de los muertos papier maché skulls, Japanese geta, a vintage Schwinn bike, a giant shell, a swoopy pink vinyl chaise longue, a poster of James Dean, and, as country auction bills say, “items too numerous to mention.” The general palette was dominated by bright pastels, and Brown’s arrangements complemented Tigerman’s open, airy floorplan.

Brown lived with HIV/AIDS, and despite his deteriorating health, and perhaps due to awareness of his mortality, he poured enormous energy into multiple projects in the last few years of his life: planting 400+ rose shrubs in his Lake Michigan dunes/ garden landscape; transforming his weedy Chicago backyard into a formal garden; designing an adobe home for property he bought in Lompoc, Calif., and a complex garden combining elements of architecture and horticulture, for land next to his childhood home in Alabama (both of these were realized on paper only). In 1996 he began plans to buy an 1870s-stone building in Beulah, Alabama, and renovate it for his last home and studio. He drew plans for the renovation and collected art and objects for it. He died on November 22, 1997, shortly before the scheduled real estate closing. His parents and brother bought the building and lovingly restored it as the Roger Brown Rock House Museum.

Brown voraciously gathered ceramic objects of all kinds, limited only by the parameters of: the ordinary and accessible. He collected pots of all shapes and sizes made by amateurs, regional factory-made wares, Mexican pottery by families or studios, and everything in between. Many of his home and garden arrangements featured shelves or cabinets filled with ceramic objects, arranged as distinct settings. The discipline of arranging ceramic objects on shelves was distilled in his series of 27 Virtual Still Life object paintings created in 1995 and 1996. La Conchita was Brown’s third intentionally-created home setting, combining architecture, collected objects, a studio at the center, and a garden. His evolving architectural, collecting, and gardening life, invariably expressed in his work, flourished in the last chapter of his life, in La Conchita.

Roger Brown was an extraordinarily generous School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) alumnus, having given his Michigan property and collection in 1995, and the Roger Brown Study Collection (RBSC) in 1996 to the School. He bequeathed the La Conchita property and collection and all his own artworks unsold at the time of his death to SAIC. Lacking a vision or the means to secure and operate the La Conchita property, it was sold in 1998, with the proceeds supporting the RBSC and the New Buffalo facility. Prior to the sale, the home, collection, and garden were documented thoroughly. The collection was moved to Chicago where it was stored and periodically unpacked and explored. The Spartan was moved to the garden of the Museum of Jurassic Technology, in Culver City, Calif., where it is situated in the museum’s courtyard adjacent to a Spartanette, a smaller version of Brown’s Spartan Royal Mansion.

Moving to California from the Midwest, where gardening and attention to plants was intertwined in his creative life, Brown entered a year-round growing season and an expanded palette, including desert plants. He adapted quickly to the regional, casual habit of allowing plants and planters and planted pots and plantings, all to accumulate and grow and flourish in impromptu arrangements, both casual and formal. Brown’s La Conchita garden evolved through a few distinct styles and stages of growth; working on and in it was closely linked to and reflected in his paintings from these years. Brown filled the side and rear gardens with a combination of desert and deciduous plants and flowers, including white roses, calla lilies, varieties of agave, prickly pear, barrel cactus, columnar cactus, euphorbia, cholla, aloe, bonsai, and other plants, arranged among rocks, plinths, planters, and garden sculpture. Brown’s composition had a pleasing rhythm of ground-hugging and sky-reaching plants that quickly grew to surround and enclose the space in a kind of Arabesque, private garden. Reflecting the peacock motif in several midcentury decorative objects in his home, Brown added a cage with a cascading fountain for Jack and Jill, a pair of live peacocks, garden guardians and possibly the bane of his neighbors and his beloved bulldog Elvis. Following his series of 27 Virtual Still Life object paintings Brown created a series of five sublime paintings of bonsai in 1996. Surely related to his cultivation of bonsai in his garden, these paintings reverse the scale of bonsai as miniature trees, positioning miniature humans against monumental bonsai. Brown imbued these works with the feeling of a departure into a different realm, a different dimension.

Ten distinct arrangements of furniture and objects had been reconstituted for the exhibition Roger Brown: Calif. U.S.A., and were shown with a selection of Virtual Still Life object/ paintings. Curated by Nicholas Lowe, with SAIC students and RBSC staff, the show was on view in 2010 at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago. Kavi Gupta exhibited five arrangements in the 2016 exhibition Roger Brown and Andy Warhol: Politics, Rhetoric, Pop. All 10 arrangements have been retained In Kavi Gupta inventory, for study and exhibition. Coinciding with this auction, the show Roger Brown: La Conchita opens at Kavi Gupta (219 N. Elizabeth St., Chicago). Comprised of Brown’s home arrangements and Virtual Still Life works, the show will be on view from November 10 to January 9. Arrangements and Virtual Still Life works will be in the exhibition Roger Brown: Virtual Still Life, curated by Shannon Stratton, William and Mildred Lasdon Chief Curator, opening May 2, 2019, at the Museum of Art and Design, New York. Most of the objects in the La Conchita collection were second-hand when found and rescued by Brown, from antique shops, thrift stores, and other places where pre-used items are sold. After 20 years in deep storage, objects in the La Conchita home collection will be rescued again and find new homes with the help of Leslie Hindman’s adept auctioneers. We thank Leslie Hindman staff members Corbin Horn and Zachary Wirsum, and of course Leslie Hindman. Lisa Stone Curator, Roger Brown Study Collection School of the Art Institute of Chicago

Born in the South and living much of his adult life in Chicago, the multidisciplinary artist Roger Brown turned his sights westward in his final years. Inspired by the landscape and culture of the Southwest, Brown built a home and artistic environment in La Conchita, California, which he deemed his ‘Temple of Painting.’ His home and garden expressed multiple facets of Brown’s late-career developments,examining the formal relationships between Brown’s artistic manifestations during his time in La Conchita – including his iconic paintings, the innovative ‘Virtual Still Life’ series (in which he arranged specific objects on a shelf in front of a landscape painting), and assemblages. Brown’s interest in repetition and architectural gridding was paramount throughout his entire oeuvre. The ordered geometry of his paintings extended to his selfmade environments. An active collector and supporter of folk and non-mainstream arts, Brown’s accumulation of objects became its own creative outlet – groupings became curated assemblages, sharing the language of his paintings. Specific to his time in La Conchita, ‘Virtual Still Life’ became the most elusive and enigmatic series of his storied career, a culmination of a lifetime dedicated to artistic experimentation.

This delight in ordinary things was a characteristic of much of Brown’s career. As an artist he was as interested in the direct visual qualities that could be found in popular sources, as much as he strove to emulate the directness and accessibility of the self-taught artists whose work he collected… The deliberate placing and arrangement of high-art with low-vernacular objects was connected for Brown to an impulse to value the evidence of human creativity and the endeavor that it represents wherever he saw it. Nicholas Lowe, “Unpacking Roger Brown,” Roger Brown: Calif. U.S.A., exhibition catalogue, 2010.

In Brown’s homes, as in his works, it may not be immediately obvious…that there are concentrations of significances and pools of meaning collated, curated and composed throughout the interior space. More particularly the sense of a knowledge of, and reverence for, the surrealist tradition of acquiring things, altering meanings within them and subsequently displaying them en masse is also clearly evident in these arrangements. It is difficult to separate Brown and his interests from the object’s meaning and so the ethnographic, anthropological, social and political are all here. The Brown collection is famous, and possibly also notorious, as a repository for objects that encourage interrogation on a number of different levels or, perhaps in his terms, allow all that is therein to be extracted from them. There are no chance arrangements here and nothing is ever out of place… Christine Atha, “Roger Brown: Virtual Still Life,” Roger Brown: Calif. U.S.A., exhibition catalogue, 2010.

Thrift Store refugees are lovingly relocated to the Brown homes and given sanctuary and new status. But the Thrift Store, although primarily a place of inexpensive everyday items, is also a place of dreams, of bygone identities and childhood experiences. When we visit a thrift store, we often find not just something useful but, more often than not, something that reminds us of who we once were, who we would like to be, or even better, someone we are in our imagination. Collections based on Thrift Store finds provide cultural documents testifying to bygone fads and overnight sensations long since discarded. The objects may be handmade or mass-produced, the product of a pottery class long since abandoned or a child’s first foray into handcrafting a gift, the remnants of a failed relationship or the impulse purchase long since superseded. Christine Atha, “Roger Brown: Virtual Still Life,” Roger Brown: Calif. U.S.A., exhibition catalogue, 2010.

While some collections are about control and completion, other acts of collecting are about care and intimacy. Roger Brown’s collecting resonated as the later, appearing playful and unrestrained and truly in love with objects and the hands that had passed over them. This act of selection, retrieval and care and the building up of a world resplendent with “texture” - materially and narratively – seemed to be the foreground for which Brown painted the backdrop, the scenography for an American vignette.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Leslie Hindman Auctioneers can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Leslie Hindman Auctioneers recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Leslie Hindman Auctioneers provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Leslie Hindman Auctioneers a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:

$0 - $200 ............................................. $10 $200 - $500 ............................................. $25 $500 - $1,000 .......................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ........................................ $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ........................................ $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ...................................... $500 $10,000 - $20,000 ................................... $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 ................................... $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ................................. $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 ............................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 ......... Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding Live bidding at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is by paddle only. Please register for a paddle at the entrance of the sales room. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer. Online Bidding Leslie Hindman Auctioneers allows absentee and live bidding through our website at www.lesliehindman.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at www.lesliehindman.com. Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may use the absentee bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will exercise written order bids and telephone bids at no additional charge. Lots will always be sold as inexpensively as is allowed other bids and reserves as are on our books or bids executed in competition from the audience.

CONDITIONS OF SALE HINDMAN LLC AS AGENT

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Hindman LLC as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

BEFORE THE SALE

Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Hindman LLC and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Hindman LLC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Hindman LLC has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Hindman LLC before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Hindman LLC, and that Hindman LLC will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Hindman LLC.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Hindman LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Hindman LLC sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

AFTER THE SALE Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium and the applicable sales tax added to the final total. The buyer’s premium for all purchases except via live online bidding is twenty-five (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. The buyer’s premium for purchases made via live online bidding is twenty-six (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty-one percent (21%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and thirteen percent (13%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000.

Payment The buyer must pay the entire amount due (including the hammer price, buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and other charges) no later than 5 p.m. on the seventh (7) business day following the sale. Payment in U.S. dollars may be made with cash; bank check or cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. bank; money order; or wire transfer unless other arrangements are made with Hindman LLC. Hindman LLC reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank. The purchaser agrees to pay Hindman LLC a handling charge of $50 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Tax Exempt Notice Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are tax exempt as permitted by law.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Collecting Purchases Once Hindman LLC has received all funds due to us, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within seven (7) business days from the date of the sale. Packing and Shipping If your bid is successful, we can provide you with a list of shippers. We will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. Property will not be released to the shipper without the buyer’s written consent and until payment has been made in full. Packing and handling of purchased lots by us is at the entire risk of the purchaser, and Hindman LLC will have no liability of any loss or damage to such items. Non Payment If we do not receive payment in full, in good cleared funds, within seven (7) business days following the sale, we are entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to any additional actions available to us by law: a.) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days of the total purchase price b.) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law c.) to cancel the sale d.) to resell the property publicly or privately with such terms as we find appropriate, to resell the property at public auction without reserve, and with the purchaser liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, our commission on both sales at our regular rate, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
