Miyoko Ito The four present artworks, Captured, Susquehanna (The River), Irrigation, and Pyramid for Stevens trace the artistic development of Miyoko Ito. A strikingly innovative painter, Ito created nuanced abstractions that traced a personal exploration of an inner, poetic world. In the 1940s, Ito trained as a watercolorist in California alongside artists Earle Loran, Worth Rider, and John Haley, leaders of the “Bay Region” or “Berkley School.” Her work during this time was a form of structured Synethetic Cubism with recognizable, representational values. In 1944, Ito moved to Chicago, where she was to remain the rest of her life. It was in her new environment that the artist abandoned watercolors and embraced oil painting as her preferred medium. Ito also gradually moved away from representationalism and towards a more abstracted approach that employed the multiple and shifting perspectives of cubism. Concurrently, she developed the use of underpainting, a technique developed in the 17th century. Ito would apply one color as the ground, then add a second layer in a different, contrasting color. The surface image was applied with short, quick brushstrokes that allow the underlayers to show through. The color contrasts create a shimmering, glowing energy, enhanced by the texture provided by the short brushstrokes. By the early 1950s, Ito’s work no longer included references to the physical world, opting instead for pure creations from her own mind. Both Captured, circa 1952, and Susquehanna (The River), 1959, are vibrant examples of this new approach. Overlapping shapes emerge and recede against each other, without ever disturbing their stable arrangement. Susquenhanna (The River) also exhibits Ito’s use in the late 1950s of tubular forms that weave and intertwine with each other and the color fields. The two paintings are executed in the jewel-like, rich palette favored by Ito in the 1950s. Irrigation, 1976, and Pyramid for Stevens, which may date to the 1970s, represent a transition of Ito’s palette to pearly, pinkish tans and beiges, with the occasional highlights of hot red. The rich tones with muted gradations radiate a smoldering light. The modulated color and the artist’s incorporation of recessive orthogonals in both paintings provide a sense of depth and suggest themes of land and nature. However, while the artworks’ titles and forms allude to landscapes, they are landscapes in only the loosest sense. They can instead be viewed as timeless visions of mystic possibility. The present paintings are artistic accomplishments and the product of Miyoko Ito’s singular and unique personal development. For Ito, art, life, and the mysteries of life were inextricably connected. Their metaphoric, dreamy stillness provoke a meditation on the experience, memory, place, and time. The artist’s love of color, mystery, and sublime composition have resulted in a uniquely private yet accessible legacy.

Roger Brown Dancing Houses-The Earthquake of 1994 is a prime example of Roger Brown’s career-long exploration of natural disasters and their effect on people and nature. In the late 1960s, Brown developed a mature visual vocabulary, using black-silhouetted figures against yellow backdrops; eerie nocturnal cityscapes; and empty theatre facades and interiors. By the early 1970s, he received acclaim for paintings of stylized landscapes and cityscapes as stark backdrops for aspects of contemporary life, including the “Disasters” series, which depicted exploding buildings (1972). Disaster and cataclysmic events acted as grand, allegorical backdrops for the larger physical and metaphysical forces that dwarf the human endeavor. In 1993, Brown moved to La Conchita, in southern California, where his works focused on the unique experiences provided by the topographical and urban environment of the state. A year later after his relocation, the San Fernando Valley was rocked by a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. It is unknown if the artist’s home was affected, but he responded with several “seismic” paintings, including the present painting; 6.6 Tremor, 1994; Earthquake in a Small Town, 1995; and San Andreas Fault, 1995 (locations unknown?). A preparatory sketch for Dancing Houses is included in Roger Brown’s 1993-1997 sketchbook (Roger Brown Study Collection, Chicago). © The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Brown family.

Provenance: Phyllis Kind Gallery, Chicago Acquired from the above by the present owner in 1994 Exhibited: Chicago, Phyllis Kind Gallery, April 8 - May 6, 1994 Santa Barbara, California, Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum, Roger Brown: California Dreamin’, November 1996 - January 26, 1997 A preliminary sketch of this painting is included in the 1993-1997 Roger Brown Sketchbook, located in the Roger Brown Study Collection, Chicago. $50,000-$70,000
In Dancing Houses-The Earthquake of 1994, the suburban homes are depicted as solid forms, but with one or two vertical lines on each side to indicate the movement caused by the quake. Silhouetted figures are seen in each home’s windows and are likewise partially “repeated” on the left and right to give the visual equivalent of the earthquake’s jarring sensation. The feeling of instability is further emphasized by the overall composition. The canvas is filled with repeated, overlapping hills, with two swirling vortexes of ominous clouds above. The overlapping suggests recession and yet the patterning returns the viewer to the painted surface. Additionally, the paradoxically readable and yet unsettlingly illogical landscape is heightened by repeating bands of green at the top of each hill. The green bands quickly yield to the desert yellow below and convey the artificiality of southern California’s landscape. Each hill is impossibly steep and disconnected from each other, heightening the sense of surreal fantasy in an inaccessible, and dangerous, environment. Even in the same home, each figure experiences the quake separately, and the viewer is made to feel his separation from the scene. The silhouettes offer little in the way of human contact. The separateness of the landscape, mirrored by the disconnected individuals, combine to create the sensation of a strangely isolated apocalypse.

Barbara Rossi In the early to mid-1970s, the Chicago Imagist Barbara Rossi executed a number of reverse paintings on Plexiglas, including Mir-ror Grr-L, 1971. Like her fellow Imagists, she was inspired by a range of sources, including lowbrow imagery, “Outsider” art, and non-Western art. However, unlike the overtly representational art of her colleagues, Rossi devised a unique, abstracted painting method, starting each work without any compositional plan. The open-ended and introspective process allows the painting to emerge one form at a time, with sporadic figurative suggestions that transform her wandering lines into mischievous, psychedelic portraits. As painting the back of Plexiglas does not allow for revision, this technique requires intense concentration and precise application of the flat color, lines, and dots. Mir-ror Grr-L reveals the slow, fragmentary nature of Rossi’s constructive approach, which enables her to assemble different, interlocking shapes and lines. Out of the fantastic amalgamation emerges a grotesque chin with sharp teeth; a hand holding a miniscule mirror; a fan; and various parts of underclothes. Everything is interspersed with seething knobs and bulges that suggest folds of skin or mounds of flesh.

In Mir-ror Grr-L, the artist’s meticulous care is also evident in the pinhead-sized dots that make up the crisscrossed background pattern and in the delicate accents around selected contours. The constellation of dots cast pointillist shadows through the transparent Plexiglas onto the layer below. As a result, light and shadow play an integral part to the heaving and fantastic shapes, intensifying an optical experience that already borders on the otherworldly. In a review of a 2015 New Museum show of the artist’s work, Ken Johnson described these portraits “...like X-rays revealing subdermal viscera, which in turn suggest churning inner souls. Seen through the glossy plastic surfaces ...they have an adamantine clarity that enhances a grotesque comedy.” (Cited https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/25/arts/design/barbararossis-zany-vision-revisited.html?_r=1, accessed 03.31.20)

Gladys Nilsson The present group of extraordinary artworks by Gladys Nilsson reveal the depth and breadth of her long career. Nilsson’s works, which are rendered on canvas, plexiglass, and paper, are universes in themselves, formed from an imagination driven by a fascination with all variations of the body. The artist first came to prominence in 1966, when she joined five other recent Art Institute graduates (Jim Falconer, Art Green, Jim Nutt, Suellen Rocca, and Karl Wirsum) for the first of a series of group exhibitions called the Hairy Who. Like many of the Hairy Who artists, Nilsson employs a type of horror vacui and many of her works are filled with interwoven, playful imagery. Her work often focuses on aspects of human sexuality and its inherent contradictions. Since the late 1960s, Nilsson crowds her paintings with wild allegories of human foibles that are elegantly dignified despite the wackiness of the figures. For example, in Big Floor Show, circa 1967, a woman impossibly gyrates her body for a group of leering men. However, her pendulous breasts seem more a result of forces within the composition’s structure than as sexual objects. Both from 1972, Gr-Apes and A Man, exhibit a departure from Nilsson’s earlier works and display definite landscapes, rather than compositions with figures alone. In these paintings, figures composed of globular, vegetable-like shapes with winding appendages are situated in a space overgrown with foliage and clouds. The space is dense and overlapping, opening out in the center to make the landscape both more fantastic and more “real.” Gr-Apes was included in the 1973 exhibition, Gladys Nilsson, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the first solo show of any Hairy Who member and also one of the first women to have a solo exhibition at the museum.

Around 1973, Nilsson reverted to the use of watercolors, which had been her medium of choice earlier in her career. Drawing has always been structurally integral to her work and gives her watercolors a crisp definition. The artist’s confident application of lines snake around the dancing couple in 2 Dansers, 1975, and express the joy and vitality that lies at the heart of her practice. Monastic Views, 1991, and Basket Case, 1993, likewise reveal Nilsson’s later work to be increasingly labyrinthine. Every corner of every surface is filled with idiosyncratic figures and objects engaged in enigmatic interactions. In the artist’s unruly fantasy world, playful figures are alive with energy and her works celebrate humanity in all its forms.

Joseph Cornell A master appropriator, Joseph Cornell gathered ephemeral materials and small objects from all corners of life. He transformed this miscellanea into his signature, spellbinding shadow boxes and collages. According to Lynda Roscoe Hartigan, Cornell’s belief “…in the ordinary and the fleeting was so elevated that he named it the “métaphysique d’éphemera,” suggesting that literal things can create an elaborate and subtle form of magic.” (Lynda Roscoe Hartigan, Joseph Cornell: Shadowplay…Eterniday, London, 2003, p. 23) His ability to unite unlike things into a congruous whole led the artist to be lauded as an American Surrealist. However, Cornell himself never claimed to be a Surrealist, and indeed, his delicate dialogues between the narrative and visual elements transcend this influence.

Untitled (For Caroline von Gunderode) Printed paper collage on printed paper mounted on board signed Joseph Cornell and titled (verso) 10 x 7 ¼ inches. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist, NY, 1970 Diane Waldman, New York Private collection, Los Angeles Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art, Los Angeles $10,000-$15,000
Cornell’s fascination with subjects ranged from astronomy to cinema to literature, with a keen emphasis on European culture. The artist’s inscription on the verso of the present work, For Caroline von Gunderode, is an indication of his far-reaching interests. Caroline von Gunderode (also known as Karoline vön Gunderrode) was an obscure late 18th century German Romantic poet whose poems focused on strong heroic women in a central role, while also criticizing bourgeois ideals and traditional gender roles. Birds, frequently used by Cornell as symbols of thought and imagination, here stand in the collage for the enigmatic poet and her words. Perched on a rocky coast that overlooks a wide and empty expanse of water, the birds appear in stasis, either unwilling or unable to fly into the unknown horizon. This seems an apt metaphor for an individual who once wrote, “There is an unfortunate but unalterable imbalance in my soul; and it will and must remain so, since I am a woman and have desires like a man without a man’s strength.” (Sibylle Duda, “Karoline von Günderrode.” FemBio FrauenBiographieforschung.

Bob Thompson Bob Thompson’s The Sack (The Snook), 1961, is a drama of bold exaggerations, highlighted by the artist’s use of assertive, and unmodulated colors. Thompson’s short, dynamic, career began in the late 1950s and ended in his premature death less than a decade later. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Thompson studied briefly at Boston University and at the University of Louisville. On the advice of a teacher, in the summer of 1958 he traveled to Provincetown, where he was introduced to the expressive figurative work of Jan Muller, Hans Hofmann and Red Grooms. Later in 1958, Thompson migrated to New York, where he quickly arrived at his iconic style.

Using as a springboard the dynamism of classical scenes by artists such as Piero della Francesca, Nicolas Poussin, and Tintoretto, Thompson transformed their compositions into simplified, abstracted forms applied with flat, bright color fields. The Sack (The Snook) highlights the singular aspects of Thompson’s mature style. Executed in Paris, where Thompson and his wife had settled in 1961 thanks to a Walter Guttman Foundation grant, the collage-like painting depicts an enigmatic scene, with its silhouetted figures and vivid colors. Although the exact inspiration for this artwork is unknown, Thompson frequently drew on Greco-Roman mythology and the Bible, as well as appropriating material from Classical paintings. He turned this subject matter into his own vision of contemporary allegorical nightmares. In The Sack (The Snook), two mysterious figures in hats enrobe a third in a black sack. To their right, two other figures appear to have thrust a person head-first into a purple sack. Additional ambiguous figures populate the mid-ground. The scene takes place against a shallow, compressed space that calls attention to the picture plane. The flattened forms and silhouettes evoke the undulating rhythms and syncopated movement found in jazz music, which Thompson deeply admired. Together, these elements combine to create an abstracted, dreamlike atmosphere that renders place and time indistinct.

Cy Twombly Untitled, 1965 exemplifies Cy Twombly’s unique draftsmanship, with its characteristic active, scribbled, and scratched lines. The artist first came to prominence in the late 1950s, when his graffiti-like, frenetic pencilwork appeared to subvert the thendominant painterly mode of Abstract Expressionism. By 1964, the artist’s practice had shifted from all-over compositions of scrawled renderings to more precise arrangements. His untamed markings became organized into concise, hovering masses that float within the picture plane, set off by the white field of paper. In Untitled, the square format emphasizes the horizontal midline of the composition. A tight cloud of curlicues, selectively highlighted with pink and orange crayon, hovers over a horizontal black bar and grid of squared-off colored smudges. The weight conveyed by the prominent, closely massed imagery creates an almost iconic presentation of the expressive marks.

Originally from Virginia, Twombly permanently relocated to Rome in 1957. The career-defining move let the artist to create a body of work inspired by the surrounding architecture, language, history and lifestyle, in a world where past and present collide. As a result of these influences, Twombly embarked in December 1963 upon a series of groundbreaking works titled Nine Discourses on the Commodus (Guggenheim Bilbao Museao). The series was inspired by the murder of the Roman emperor Aurelius Commodus (161192 CE). Geographically and intellectually separated from the Pop art and hard-edged Minimalism happening in the United States, the messy, esoteric canvases were as far removed from the 1960s New York art scene as they could possibly be. The Commodus paintings were first exhibited at Leo Castelli Gallery in New York in March 1964 and attracted scathing reviews. The criticism let Twombly to retreat, and for several years, he produced at a much slower pace. In a somewhat rueful reminiscence, the artist commented that the Commodus episode made him “the happiest painter around, for a couple of years; no one gave a damn what I did.” (cited in Kirk Varnedoe, Cy Twombly, a retrospective, New York, 1994, p. 39) Untitled, 1965 is therefore a rare example of the Twombly’s work at this time. The present artwork also illustrates the freedom he felt to experiment. The previously untamed lines have been formally reduced and are characterized by an emphasis on dominant rectangular structures. Situated at this critical juncture within Twombly’s career, Untitled articulates an important evolution in his practice, which culminated in the artist’s celebrated mid– 1960s monochromatic, grey paintings.

Jean Dubuffet In Paysage, Jean Dubuffet has unleashed a fantastically energetic style marked by intricate patterns on a dense background of alternating irregular fields. Executed in 1974, the present work is part of the artist’s L’Hourloupe series. This series was begun in 1962 as distracted ballpoint pen doodles made while Dubuffet was on the telephone. Intrigued by the nonsensical drawings, the artist cut the forms out and pasted them onto black paper. Originally Dubuffet experimented with various colors, before settling on a restricted palette of white, black, red, and blue of interlocking biomorphic forms. The graphic effect became a signature characteristic of the series, which lasted for twelve years and was to encompass graphic work, paintings, and sculpture.

Paysage, 1974 colored pencils and black pen pasted on black paper initialed J.D. and dated (lower left) 18 x 12 3/4 inches. Provenance: The Waddington Galleries, London Posner Gallery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago Literature: Loreau, Max, Catalogue des Travaux de Jean Dubuffet, Crayonnages, Récits, Conjectures, fascicule XXIX, Paris, 1979, p. 56, no. 117, illustrated Exhibited: Paris, Musée d’art moderne de la ville de Paris, San Lazzaro et ses amis, November 19, 1975 January, 11, 1976 Basel, Galerie Beyeler, Autres dimensions : collages, assemblages, reliefs..., June - September 1976, no. 23 $20,000-$30,000
The word Hourloupe itself is a word invented by Dubuffet. As the artist explained, ‘I associate it, by assonance, with “hurler” [to howl], “hululer” [to hoot], “loup” [wolf], “Riquet à la houppe” [a French folk tale] and to the title of Maupassant’s book Le Horla, that is inspired by psychological distraction’ (J. Dubuffet, quoted at http:// www.dubuffetfondation.com/ focus.php?menu=38=en [accessed 6 February 2020]). In French, its closest counterpart is ‘entourlouper’, meaning ‘to make a fool of’. It is a word not bound to the physical world, but a new language that channels the arbitrary and the irrational. Highly fitting for an artist who once declared, “I consider written language a poor tool. As an instrument of communication, it conveys merely the carcass of a thought: what slag is to fire.” (Jean Dubuffet: Works on Paper 1974-85, Waddington Galleries, London, 1987, p. 8) The collaged shapes pasted onto black paper remain deliberately elusive in Paysage. Despite the artwork’s title, the jigsaw-like pieces are liberated of any association with a specific location in time or space. The flat white fields outlined in black and interrupted by colorful scribblings erase all depth, as well as any sense of hierarchy of form. It was with this method, of erasing the familiar, that Dubuffet claimed to have abolished traditional classifications of human, figure, cloud, ground, or landscape, Towards the end of the L’Hourloupe series, Dubffet began introducing additional colors to his palette of black, white, red, and blue. The yellow, green, and orange hues therefore link the present work to both the beginning and the end of the series, and stands as an example of an artistic path fully explored and come full circle.

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 Hindman LLC 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; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for less than $5,001, with a minimum commission of $75 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Hindman LLC, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Hindman LLC 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 Hindman LLC 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 Hindman LLC encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Hindman LLC 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 Hindman LLC 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 Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.
Bidding Increments 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 Hindman LLC 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 Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.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 hindmanauctions.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. Hindman LLC 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.
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. 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
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.
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.
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.
Third-Party Platform Fee If the buyer bids through a third-party platform the buyer agrees to pay a surcharge to Hindman LLC equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.
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.

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.
LIABILITY Condition Reports Hindman LLC is not responsible for the correctness of any statement of any kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lot. Neither the seller, ourselves, our officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, completeness, authorship, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this paragraph. Items under $1,000 are collated upon request.
