I
often say my mother was not a religious person. She was raised Catholic, but she ran as far as she could from the church once she grew up and never looked back. When she married my father, a Jewish man, she considered converting, but never did. Looking back now, I realize my mother was extremely religious — her religion was art. And in this faith, she was devout. A zealot. A proselyte, spreading the gospel far and wide to anyone with enough interest to listen. My mother loved to learn and also to teach. In her heart of hearts, she was an eternal student and — like my father — a professor. She wanted to learn all she could, and then that knowledge burned inside her, demanding to be taught to others. The sensation of illumination — that spark felt when the human mind wraps itself around something in a way which produces insight — was what she lived for. And though she loved learning
and teaching about a great many things — subjects ranging from football to film, from the Symphony to The Simpsons — one subject always dominated the syllabus of her mind.
Art. Always art. It began with a love of textiles, which quickly turned into expertise. Once my father died, leaving her with a six-year-old son to raise on her own, that expertise led to a career — by necessity, if not destiny. She began as a textile appraiser, later became curator of textiles at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, writing two books on the subject along the way. Later in her career, she broadened her scope to all types of tribal art, and beyond. Her scope was always broadening, because her appetite knew no bounds. Her mind would seek out a new area, and drive her to examine it. Once she felt she had learned about all she could, it would drive her to the next thing, and then the next, and the next. Like a nomad of the mind.
Josh Cootner, Cathryn Cootner and Caroline McCoy Jones at the exhibition opening of Anatolian Kilims, M. H. De Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco, November, 1990.

This broad spectrum is captured in the art she collected. You won't just find one kind of object — textiles, or masks, or figures — but examples of each. You won't just find pieces from one region or culture, but from just about any you can imagine. Because her taste was so eclectic, she could find objects of interest just about anywhere. And her visual sense was such that she could also find the most interesting piece among any group of like objects.
"Your mother's eye..." I've heard it dozens, if not hundreds, of times. Some admirer, gazing in wonder at her collection, struck by the single thread running through it all — her eye. Whatever their field of interest, they could find something unusual, something remarkable, something special.
I wish she was still here — for many reasons, of course, but particularly at this moment to explain and detail the pieces in her collection one last time. Obviously that's no longer possible, but we take great pride in standing in for her. A lot of work has been done by some very experienced and dedicated people in order to present the many pieces in her collection, and tell the stories behind them, the very best we can. Now that my mother's collection has been thoroughly researched, appraised, photographed, and lovingly presented for viewing, there isn't much else to say. So let's begin the tour, shall we?
— Josh Cootner, Los Angeles, CA.
This ability to appreciate and discern any type of art allowed her to connect with any art lover — there was always some common area of interest, and she always had just the piece to show them. She was a skeleton key. Pick a subject, region, or discipline, and she could open the door wider for you, expanding your field of view. That drew collectors to her, seeing a kindred spirit. Many would gather each year prior to the San Francisco Tribal Arts Show to take part in what became her annual tour. She would lead collectors around the show, pointing out certain pieces, booths, dealers — anything she felt deserved the extra attention. Those tours were simply more formal versions of what she spent her entire life doing. As far back as I can remember, she led tours of her house, showing her collection to the many admirers who would make the journey to view it — from down the block, or across oceans. This was what she was at her core: a sherpa leading curious travelers on a wondrous journey — through time and space, across continents, cultures, and tribes, telling the stories behind the pieces she loved with all of her heart. She didn't even need an audience to lead a tour. Increasingly, as she grew older, she would lead them for herself alone. To remind herself of all the pieces in her collection, to make sure she appreciated them all, and gave each one the attention it was due. Later in life she began a daily routine of picking one object each morning and focusing on it throughout the day. Examining it. Researching it. Considering it. This allowed her to derive the maximum joy and wonder out of her most beloved possessions.

238. Antique Indonesian Water Vessel Kendi, Lampung, Sumatra. Double-spouted unglazed terracotta vessel used to hold drinking water – the unglazed nature of the vessel allowed it to be semi-porous so that the water would seep through the sides and evaporate, thereby cooling the contents.

Two spouts rise from the top of the base and they are linked by a bridge that serves as a handle. With no apparent aperture for filling, the vessel would have been held under water in a river or stream and allowed to fill through the spout. An almost identical example is illustrated in Achjadi (1988, p. 38), with the comment that the shape has changed little ‘over the past ten centuries.’ Another is illustrated in Khoo (1991, p. 130).

PROPERTY SOLD AS IS. Except as expressly stated below in the LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION, all Property is sold as is, where is, with all faults. Neither MC nor any consignor makes any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied with respect to the Property or the correctness of the catalogue or any other description of the Property. In no event shall MC or the consignor be responsible for the correctness, nor be deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin or condition of the Property. No statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION. With regard ONLY to descriptions of fine art in which a specific artist is named as the artist, all information contained in the catalogue concerning the authenticity of said Property is guaranteed for a period of 30 days from the date of the sale. If, within that 30 day period, Buyer has complied with all Terms and Conditions of Sale regarding timely payment and collection of said Property and would like to dispute the authenticity of said Property, Buyer can submit, at his own expense, two written professional opinions regarding authenticity by recognized authenticators, jointly approved by both MC and Buyer. In the event said Property is judged inauthentic by both expert authenticators, said Property may be returned if it is in the same condition as at time of sale and the Buyer’s full purchase price will be refunded. Refunds shall not include cost of transportation, insurance or other expenses that Buyer may have incurred. This limited right of rescission is available only to the original auction Buyer and does not extend or transfer to any subsequent owner, heir, agent transferee or any other third party. WITHDRAWAL OF PROPERTY. MC reserves the right to withdraw any Property at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute. COPYRIGHT AND REPRODUCTION RIGHTS. MC and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the Buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any Property sold. MC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the Property sold in the catalogue. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for MC relating to Property, including the contents of the catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of MC and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else, without MCs prior written consent. EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY. All Property is available for examination prior to bidding. The Buyers bidding signifies that the Buyer has examined the Property as fully as desired or has chosen not to examine the Property. MC recommends that prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest prior to bidding.
BIDDING RESERVES. Some of the Property in the sale is offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and MC below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the low estimates listed. Bidding will begin at a price appropriate in the auctioneers discretion. The auctioneer always reserves the right to withdraw Property for any reason he deems appropriate. ORDER OF BIDS. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. MC reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. ABSENTEE AND PHONE BIDDING. Absentee and phone bidding are permitted by prospective bidders who cannot be present at the auction. Please complete the Absentee Bid and/or Phone Reservation form. Absentee bids are executed competitively and confidentially. All reservations for phone bidding are held in the strictest confidence and must be received by 5 pm EST the day before the auction. No additional phone bids will be accepted at such time including additions when speaking with a staff person on the phone. Written absentee bids may be submitted on the Absentee Bid Form up to 30 lots before the item comes up for auction. Leaving an absentee or phone bid on a lot indicates your willingness to open the bidding at one half the printed estimate, and gives the auctioneer the authority to open the bidding at that level, or to open the bidding on a lot with a printed reserve at the reserve price. In the case of identical absentee bids, the bid received first will prevail. Bids left on liveauctioneers.com are not executed until the item is offered in the live auction and the order in which they are received is not a factor. CUT BIDS. We do not accept cut bids, (bids less than the last interval) from the floor or from absentee bidders including phone and internet bidders. Thus, it is possible that a lot could go to another bidder for less than an absentee bid. For example, if the bids are progressing in $10 dollar increments and an absentee falls at a $5 increment we will not take the bid since it is less than the $10 increment. Following are general guidelines for bidding increments: $0-$100 by $25 increments $100-$500 by $25 increments $500-$1,000 by $50 increments $1,000 $3,000 by $100 increments $3,000-$5,000 by $250 increments $5,000-$10,000 by $500 increments $10,000-$30,000 by $1,000 increments $30,000-$50,000 by $2,500 increments $50,000-$100,000 by $5,000 increments $100,000-$200,000 by $10,000 increments Above $200,000 auctioneers discretion

No Property may be removed from MCs premises until the Buyer has paid in full the purchase price including Buyers premium. MC shall have no liability for any damage to Property left on its premises after the auction. A defaulting Buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to MC a continuing security interest of first priority in any Property or money of, or owing to such Buyer in MCs possession, and MC may retain and apply such Property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to MC.

Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Pennsylvania if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a Pennsylvania exemption number prior to the auction. Buyer is responsible for any and all tariffs, taxes and assessments that might be made on the Property. International Buyers are responsible for tariffs, taxes, or assessments of shipped items to the Buyers country. IMPORT/EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the United States, such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws.
