PEGGY AND STEVE FOSSETT J. Steven Fossett and Peggy Viehland Fossett shared a pursuit of many varied passions, collecting worldly objects that spoke to their senses of adventure and intellect. The two met in 1968, in St. Louis, where Mr. Fossett attended Washington University and Mrs. Fossett attended Webster University. After a year in New York and a year in Detroit, the two built their lives together in Chicago. There, Mr. Fossett enjoyed a successful career as a commodities broker; he also founded two exchange firms with locations in Chicago, New York and London. In Chicago, Mrs. Fossett achieved her own career success as a Vice President at First National Bank of Chicago. Mr. Fossett developed a passion for adventure sports. Though Mrs. Fossett never embraced the media attention that followed her husband, she faithfully supported all of his pursuits. Mr. Fossett became known worldwide for his adventures in balloons, sailboats and aircraft. In 2002, he became the first person to circle the globe, uninterrupted, in a balloon. He went on to do the same, in 67 hours, in an airplane. He held dozens of world records in numerous categories of speed and distance. Mrs. Fossett, meanwhile, focused on the couple’s philanthropic endeavors and their three homes in Carmel Highlands, California, Beaver Creek, Colorado and Chicago. On September 3, 2007, Mr. Fossett took off for a flight across Nevada’s remote Black Rock Desert and tragically disappeared while searching for a location to test his Land Speed Record Car. The massive search for him was national news, and included as many as two dozen aircraft and the assistance of Google Inc. and tycoon-fellow adventurist Richard Branson, Mr. Fossett’s close friend. More than a year passed before remains from the wreckage of Mr. Fossett’s aircraft were located on a slope of the Ansel Adams Wilderness in Madera County, California. Mrs. Fossett passed away ten years later, in 2017. Steve Fossett, the celebrated adventurer, and Peggy Fossett, the accomplished philanthropist, gave enormous financial support to organizations including Boy Scouts of America (establishing the Steve Fossett Spirit of Adventure Base Camp in Dotsero, Colorado), the Adler Planetarium, Webster University, Washington University, the International Music Foundation and Vail Valley Foundation. Their contributions to education and the arts are remembered worldwide.

Michelangelo Anselmi

(Italian, 1492-1554) Saint Jerome Kneeling in a Landscape with an Angel, c. 1540 oil on canvas with partially obscured inscription PO/ PRIVATO (lower right) 42 x 38 inches. Provenance: Paul H. Ganz Sotheby’s New York, Old Master Paintings, June 4, 1987, Lot 17 $40,000-60,000

16

Michelangelo Anselmi worked alongside Correggio and Parmigianino on some of the most important artistic commissions in Renaissance Parma, including the decoration of the city’s cathedral and the sanctuary of the Madonna della Steccata. Light-filled, charming, and tender, Anselmi’s works make sober religious subjects compellingly accessible. In this Vision of St. Jerome the artist presents the penitent saint as haggard but energized as he checks his Latin translation of the Greek and Hebrew Bible against a scroll coming from light-drenched clouds of heaven. Jerome’s symbolic lion, resting at his feet, joins the saint in looking intently heavenward. At the left an appealingly disheveled cherub holds Jerome’s text aloft. The cherub may be understood as a guardian angel; Jerome was the first Christian author to insist that all humans have their own individual divine protector. Anselmi’s composition delightfully emphasizes that Jerome captured the full divine intent of the Greek and Hebrew original in his translation, countering Protestants who criticized the saint for occasionally mistranslating individual words. Anselmi’s image of a sacred writer with scroll and angelic assistant was famously reprised by Caravaggio in his altarpiece of the Vision of St. Matthew for the Contarelli Chapel in Rome (1585-1590). – Professor Gary M. Radke

Harry Trimborn, “24 Great Paintings Go on Loan to Museum,” The Los Angeles Times, September 22, 1966. $80,000-120,000

18

This captivating devotional image is a quintessential work of the Florentine Renaissance. Coming from the collection of one of the last surviving members of the Albizzi family in Florence-major rivals and later allies of the Medici-it draws together ideas from the leading artists of the late fifteenth century. A young John the Baptist, patron saint of Florence, looks up to the Christ Child, who steadies the saint’s cross and blesses him. The Madonna’s long, elegant fingers, hallmarks of Sandro Botticelli and his circle, hover over Christ’s shoulder. Equally informed by Botticelli are the Madonna’s ovoid face, downcast eyes, pouting lips, and narrow chin. Her sober headdress and sensible drapery, on the other hand, derive from the manner of Domenico Ghirlandaio, who famously portrayed Giovanna, a member of the Albizzi clan, in a portrait now in Madrid (c. 1486) and in frescoes commissioned by her in-laws, the Tornabuoni, in their family chapel in Santa Maria Novella (1486-1490). The stone parapet and wall that frame the atmospheric landscape to either side of the background were popularized in Florence by Andrea del Verrocchio and his students, including Lorenzo di Credi and Leonardo da Vinci, both of whom have been associated with the comparable and beguiling Dreyfus Madonna in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. – Professor Gary M. Radke

Circle of Raphael

(16th Century) The Conversion of Saint Paul, c. 1520 oil and gold ground panel, trimmed and transferred to canvas 33 3/4 x 23 3/4 inches. Provenance: Sir Rupert B. Howorth; Christie’s London, November 23, 1962 (sold as: “Attributed to Baldassare Peruzzi”) Halsborough Gallery, London Giancarlo Uzielli, New York Anonymous sale; Sotheby’s New York, Old Master Paintings, June 4, 1987, Lot 19 (sold as: “Girolamo di Tommaso da Treviso, The Younger”) Literature: Halsborough Gallery, Exhibition of Fine Paintings and Drawings of Five Centuries, May 8-June 21, 1963, illustrated catalogue. Painting listed as panel 36 1/2” x 24 1/2” (92.7 cm x 62.2 cm). Painting attributed to Baldassare Peruzzi, c. 1530-40. The Burlington Magazine, vol. 105, no. 723, June 1963. Painting attributed to Baldassare Peruzzi, c. 1530-40. Fondazione Federico Zeri, University of Bologna, Photo Archive. Painting attributed to Baldassare Peruzzi. Pierluigi Leone De Castris, Polidoro da Caravaggio: L’Opera Completa, Naples, 2001, no. 6. Painting attributed to Girolamo da Treviso. Paolo Ervas, Girolamo da Treviso, Saonara, 2014, pp. 183-184. $120,000-180,000

Given its original wood panel support, this impressive work may have been conceived as part of the decoration of a church sacristy cabinet. In it Christ addresses St. Paul from a golden sky populated with dozens of cherubs. Unusually, Paul does not raise an arm to block the light that the Bible says led to his temporary blindness and conversion. Instead, the saint looks directly and yearningly up at Christ. Steadying himself on both arms, Paul emphasizes his total devotion to Christ and the Church, a powerful retort to the doubts and questions about Catholic saints and church authority being raised by Protestant reformers at the time the painting was produced. The work’s grisaille technique, masterfully imitating gilt marble or stucco relief sculpture, became popular in the early sixteenth century with the discovery of ancient examples in the Golden House of Nero. Particularly striking are the luminous effects, including landscape details and lances evocatively etched into the gold background. This artist was an extremely accomplished and talented follower of Raphael whose specific identification is worthy of further study. His graceful and fluid manner is related to but distinct from other Raphael followers such as Baldassare Peruzzi and Girolamo da Treviso, to whom the work has previously been attributed. Raphael’s Transfiguration (c. 1520) inspired the painting’s clear, high drama, meticulous draftsmanship, and bold division of the composition into heavenly and earthly zones, while the idea of Paul’s troops fleeing in terror came from Raphael’s Sistine Chapel tapestry of the Conversion of Paul and from his designs for battle scenes in the papal apartments. – Professor Gary M. Radke

Votive heads were deposited in sanctuaries and temples as offerings in exchange for divine favor. Collections of such offerings were later buried together within the borders of the sacred precinct. Some of the finer examples, such as the present lot, exhibit meticulous hand-worked detailing, while many were simply mold-made.

An Etruscan Terra Cotta Antefix

CIRCA EARLY 5TH CENTURY B.C.E.

in the form of a head of a woman, perhaps a maenad, with incised wavy hair, her oval face with upturned lips and wide eyes with large dark pupils beneath finely arched eyebrows, her diadem with dotted zigzag surmounted by the edging of her twisted veil terminating in scrolling at each side, her head enclosed below a broad nimbus of radiating tongues interspersed with bosses at their tips, extensive red, black and white pigment throughout. Length 10 1/8 inches. Provenance: Acquired from Bruce and Ingrid McAlpine Ancient Art, London, May 28, 1987 $15,000-20,000

An antefix is a decorative architectural element that was placed on the end of a roof tile along the eaves of a roof in order to protect the wooden beams. In ancient Greek and Etruscan buildings these antefixes were often mold-made of terra cotta and were brightly painted. They regularly took the form of a male or female face, usually from mythology, who would have apotropaic significance.

A Roman Wall Painting Fragment

CIRCA 1ST CENTURY B.C.E.-1ST CENTURY C.E.

painted in vibrant, bright pigment, preserving a five-figure composition within an architectural setting, the goddess Nike alighting from the right toward an orant kneeling before her, the goddess with her wings outstretched, wearing a rich red voluminous garment with deep folds, a white sash billowing over her right shoulder, a wreath of laurel in her hair, a caduceus held forth in her left hand, proffering a wreath toward the supplicant before her who reaches up toward Nike with her right hand, clad in a yellow long-sleeved belted chiton with a green himation wrapped around her neck and legs, her curly hair bound in a band and arranged in a chignon, further to the left the goddess Venus seated regally wearing a pale blue himation over a deep blue peplos, a long staff in her right hand, bejeweled with armlets and a gold diadem in her long tresses, two nude winged Cupids frolicking behind, a column in the right foreground, a bird further to the right, the white groundline with a block of green below. Length 23 inches. Provenence: Acquired from the Merrin Gallery, New York, August 31, 1989 $30,000-50,000

The fresco technique, developed in antiquity, was a durable wall-painting enhancement process that was comprised of the application of rich pigments onto still-wet lime plaster. In the Roman period the method was employed to adorn the homes of the wealthiest and most elite echelons of society. Still preserved in quantity in the cities preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius in the environs of the Bay of Naples in 79 C.E., Roman domestic frescoes can also be found sprinkled throughout the boundaries of the Roman Empire. Art historians have categorized Roman wall painting into four distinct styles, with varying degrees of figural and architectural detailing, each developing seamlessly from the other. Without further indication of the decorative scheme surrounding the present scene, it cannot be categorically placed in this definitive framework. However, the architectural elements do reveal similarities to the so-called Second Pompeiian Style, popular throughout the 1st century B.C.E. The bold colors of Roman frescoes contrast indeed with the stark white of preserved ancient marble sculpture. Sculptures would also have originally been brightly painted. Therefore, ancient wall paintings are one of the most illustrative examples of the bold tints that enriched ancient material culture. It has been suggested that the composition on this fresco prefigures the iconography of the Christian Annunciation.

A Roman Marble Diana Venatrix CIRCA 2ND CENTURY C.E.

the goddess of the hunt depicted in quick motion accompanied by her hunting dog at her left side, her left leg in forward stride, shod in elaboratelylaced sandals, her right extended behind, her quiver over her right shoulder, her short, sleeveless chiton with overfold, bound up in a billowing sash tied over her shoulder and around her waist, the diaphanous fabric revealing the form of her body, her gaze directed toward her left, her right arm originally raised to remove an arrow from her quiver, her now-missing left arm once holding her bow, her hair swept back from the forehead and bound in a double top-knot, preserving portions of the integral plinth. Height 40 inches. Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, Antiquities and Islamic Art, March 1-2, 1984, Lot 73 Private Collection of an American Paintings Dealer Acquired from Robin Symes, London, 1986 $50,000-80,000

The goddess Diana to the Roman, Artemis to the Greeks, was the twin sister of Apollo. She was a tireless hunter and the overseer of animals who eventually also came to represent chastity, as well as lunar responsibilities. As Diana Venatrix she is goddess of the chase, and she is shown, as here, in targeted pursuit, bow drawn, winds in her hair and costume. The iconography of the type is thought to be based on a Hellenistic original. It has been dubbed the Rospigliosi type, after an example in the Palazzo Rospigliosi in Rome. It is known in dozens of Roman copies and is thought to carry associations with the Attalid dedications in Pergamon and Athens.

each side depicting a bearded male deity with a severe Classicizing countenance, likely Neptune, Jupiter or Dionysus, with a long spade-shaped beard formed of individual locks curling at their ends and a downturned mustache, his centerparted hair pulled back, bound behind and falling in thick straight tresses along his neck, the middle-aged countenance with thickly-lidded large almond-shaped eyes unarticulated, drilled at their inner canthi, the lips outlined, the brows likely once painted, now slightly discolored, one side with extensive drillwork, the other side almost identical but left undrilled, perhaps unfinished, possibly representing an earlier style. Height 13 1/2 inches. Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, Antiquities, May 30, 1986, Lot 31 $15,000-20,000

28

In the ancient classical world, crossroads were often marked by the placement of a rectangular pillar topped with the head of a god. In the early Greek period the head most often depicted Hermes, the god of boundaries and travel. As such, the statues came to be known as herms. These pillars were erected for their apotropaic powers. They also provided travelers with the opportunity for worship and dedications along their way. Janiform heads, such as the present example, with two heads looking in opposite directions, are so named for the Roman god Janus who was the god of passage as well as the beginning and the end. In this period, two headed herms were very popular as they could face those making passage in each direction.

A Roman Marble Mosaic Panel CIRCA 4TH CENTURY C.E.

a section of a floor, illustrating only a small vignette from an elaborate composition, comprised of multicolored tesserae on a cream ground, depicting a bear attacking an antelope, the bear with its body outstretched, leaping in pursuit onto the back of its prey, striking with its claws and teeth, the antelope attempting to spring away in flight from its assailant, its head turned back to witness its own doom, blood spilling from the wound. Height 79 x width 44 inches. Provenance: Acquired from the Merrin Gallery, New York, May 5, 1987 $15,000-20,000

In the Roman period, elite private homes, villas, and public buildings such as bath houses and basilicas, were often adorned with mosaic floors. These ranged from black and white simple geometric patterns to complex multicolored figural compositions. From whimsical to practical (i.e., the famed “Cave Canem� dog mosaic from Pompeii), to fantastical, to heroic and mythical, ancient mosaic flooring is an informative lens through which the modern viewer can learn a tremendous amount about ancient culture. Animals and the hunt were a favored subject of ancient mosaicists, especially in the eastern Empire. Large compositions incorporating multiple vignettes, like the present example, were especially suited to flooring as the ancient viewer would have the opportunity to engage with the variety of scenes as they made their way across the room.

The Romans began to practice inhumation widely in the 2nd century C.E., replacing cremation as the most popular funerary practice. Almost immediately, the wealthiest citizens began to fashion majestic coffins in marble known as sarcophagi (“flesh eater” in Greek). Some of the empire’s greatest artisans fed this new demand by carving elaborate examples with various subject-matter including popular mythology. Although the context of the present figure has been lost, with its original attributes and surrounding figures it undoubtedly would have immediately been recognized by the ancient patron and mourners, possibly elevating the deceased to the status of the famed hero illustrated.

A Roman Marble Venus

CIRCA 2ND CENTURY C.E.

exquisitely carved, still atop its original round socle plinth, the goddess depicted nude, balancing on her right leg, supported below her left elbow by a tree trunk at her left side, reaching down with her right arm toward her raised left ankle, her left knee bent, her body leaning forward, creased across her waist and twisting to the left, her sensual form with dimples low on her back, her youthful face with idealized features, her gaze directed down toward her left foot, with thick upper and lower lids, her center-parted wavy hair bound in a fillet and tied at the back in a chignon at the nape of her neck, fine rasp work visible throughout, the surface highly polished along her body.

Venus was the Roman goddess of love, known as Aphrodite to the Greeks. The image of the goddess Venus untying her sandal as she prepares for her bath is an iconic one, known from numerous examples in various media and dimensions. Based on a Hellenistic original from the late 3rd century B.C.E. it was especially favored by the Romans as decoration in the private villas of the wealthy elite. The sculptural form, especially in marble, was an artistic challenge for the ancient artist. Quite typical of the period, the challenge posed was not only the study of the female body, but the complexity of the weightlessness and balance of the form. The goddess stands precariously in a position of imbalance while concentrating on her strictly private task. The stance accentuates her perfected godly sensuality as well as her humanness, participating in an action so mundane it is replicated by all women every day while undressing. As here, the sandal is often not present on sculptures of the type, perhaps it was painted on, or perhaps it was simply understood by the viewer to be present.

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. Tax Exempt Notice Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are tax exempt as permitted by law.

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. 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.

W O R L D LY P U R S U I T S : A N A D V E N T U R E R ’ S C O L L E C T I O N

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.


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.
