“Villa Rose” Collection of Grace Collins Lindblom, Orlando, FL Neal Auction Company is honored to present the “Villa Rose” collection of Grace Collins Lindblom, a respected businesswoman, patron of the arts, and antiquarian of Orlando, Florida. Lindblom got her start when, discouraged by the number of jobs requiring typing skills, she put an ad in the newspaper that read, ‘College graduate, does not type.’ The ad was answered by a local doctor, who quickly realized that Lindblom was a whiz with numbers and hired her to manage his office and later, his investments. From there, Lindblom developed several successful businesses of her own. In addition to her business pursuits, Lindblom is active in civic affairs. She has served as chairman of the Orlando Utilities Commission and as the President of United Arts of Central Florida. The “Villa Rose” collection reflects Lindblom’s ‘Renaissance woman’ persona, and encompasses fine Continental furniture, paintings, sculpture, porcelain and Asian art.

34. Attributed to Giuseppi Recco (Italian, 1634-1695), “Still Life of Flowers and Fruits in a Landscape”, oil on canvas, unsigned, 48 1/2 in. x 61 1/2 in., framed. $4000/6000 Provenance: “Villa Rose” Collection of Grace Collins Lindblom, Orlando, FL. Note: Giuseppe Recco was “the most celebrated Neapolitan still life painter of his day” [Middione, 1996]. His early works are in the style of his father Giacomo Recco (1603-c.1653) and his uncle Giovan Battista Recco (c. 1615-c. 1660). The latter—because of their identical initials, GBR—was formerly often confused with Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo (1629-1693), a near contemporary of the probable artist of this painting, who in turn (like him) was strongly influenced by the presence in Naples from 1675 of the Antwerp painter Abraham Breughel (1631-c. 1680), son of Jan Breughel II, the last of that great family of artists, and a practitioner of the most modern Baroque style. Raffaello Causa established in 1972 that a large Still life with Fruits and Flowers from the d’Avalos collection in the Capodimonte Museum, Naples is “one of the best examples of a flowerpiece in Giuseppe Recco’s mature style” (100 3/8 in. x 118 1/2 in., or 255 x 301 cm). That celebrated painting has precisely the same proportions as this canvas, being almost exactly twice its dimensions; it shares a strong diagonal from upper right to lower left, with the landscape elements above that line and the still life below; it exhibits the same halved watermelon and peaches, as well as grapes in an identical, and idiosyncratic, shape; and very closely similar flowers. In the present picture the latter are spectacularly arranged in a bronze vessel with a prominent satyr mask, recalling the settings of Recco’s contemporaries Ruoppolo and Breughel; before it, the most dramatic spray of white flowers is laid in a wickerwork basket, identical to those in the Capodimonte painting. The confident handling of High Baroque motifs, in this picture, suggests that its date might well be advanced by a few years beyond that of c. 1670 for the Naples picture. Recco was called to Spain by King Charles II (1661-1665-1700), but died soon after his arrival in Alicante.

The Overdoor version of Reni’s Angel Distributing Flowers, offered here, is in fact considerably more finely painted than the parent canvas in Bradford (which is the best of the known examples of the full composition).

Gary Jr., by 1963; [untraced, c. 1970-1990.] collector, Upton, MA; sold in these rooms [Neal Alford Co., New Orleans], 23 February 1991, lot 360; estate of antiquarian Philip St. George Ambler. Literature: Laura MacMillan, North Carolina Portrait Index, 1700-1860, Chapel Hill, 1963, p. 171 (these versions illustrated). Note: These fine drawings are a reprise of Saint-Mémin’s typical style, on lightly-tinted paper, at precisely his standard size; they are displayed in black-painted and giltdecorated glass mats very similar to the originals in the State Department. The inscription labels found here en verso, evidently of the 19th c.—together with a long tradition of publication confirm the subjects of these portraits to be “Judge Hugh Nelson / of Belvoir[,] Albemarle County / Va.” and “his wife / Eliza Kinloch / Charleston / South Carolina.” SaintMémin’s standard small circular engraving (reversed with respect to this large chalk drawing) is labeled, in its version at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, in the artist’s own hand, “Nelson 1808.” From this we learn that Mr. and Mrs. Nelson—then respectively 40 and 27 years old—sat to Saint-Mémin (using his famous technique of the ‘physiognotrace’) in Richmond, during his sojourn there from early July of 1807 to April or early May of 1808. Hugh Nelson (1768-1836) was born in Yorktown, and studied law at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg (graduating in 1790, rather than ‘1780’ as in many secondary sources). Hugh Nelson was a younger associate of Thomas Jefferson’s; the latter’s father, dying in 1757 when Jefferson was only 14, had appointed 235 as his executor, and as his son’s guardian, the eminent physician and statesman Dr. Thomas Walker (1715-1794) of “Castle Hill”, midway between the Jeffersons’ home at “Shadwell” and the country school of Rev. James Maury, where Jefferson and Thomas Walker’s son John were classmates. John Walker (1744-1809), only one year younger than Jefferson and perhaps his closest friend, also attended William and Mary with him, and made Jefferson one of the groomsmen at his marriage in 1764 to Elizabeth Moore. This

young couple built a new house next door to “Castle Hill,” at “Belvoir” (erected 1764; relocated and enlarged, 1790). The Walkers’ only daughter Mildred was married there in 1781, to a young Congressman from South Carolina—whom she met while her father was also a delegate in Philadelphia—Francis Kinloch of Charleston. That couple had only one daughter, Eliza, the subject of the portrait drawing offered here; she was almost the same age as Jefferson’s own daughters, and given Jefferson’s closeness to both the Nelson family and especially his neighbors and close friends the Walkers, it is hardly surprising that Hugh Nelson in fact married Eliza Kinloch, again at the Walker home of “Belvoir,” in 1799. Hugh and Eliza (the subjects of these two drawings) moved permanently to Albemarle County in 1802, and on the deaths of both her parents in 1809 she and her husband inherited “Belvoir,” where they raised their ten children. Hugh Nelson represented his county in the Virginia Assembly from 1805 to 1809 (a report of his presence in the Virginia Senate is in error), while also being a magistrate in the state’s General Court; in 1811 he was elected to the U. S. Congress, in which he served for a dozen years. He resigned that position in 1823 to accept his friend James Monroe’s appointment as minister plenipotentiary to the Court of Spain, where he remained until 1825. Throughout his years of public service, he stayed in close touch with Thomas Jefferson, until the latter’s death in 1826; a large selection of Nelson correspondence is preserved in the Library of Congress. Hugh Nelson served a final brief term in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1828-29; he was a vestryman of the Episcopal church in “Belvoir’s” neighboring village of Cismont (where he and Eliza Nelson are buried), and a frequent member of the state’s diocesan convention: he also participated on several occasions in the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America. He was, perhaps, principally celebrated for his extraordinary recall—mainly deriving from his long friendship with Jefferson and his intimate contact with Monroe—about the lives of the Founding Fathers: it is to him, for example, that we owe the knowledge of Patrick Henry’s being accustomed to reading every day from the Classical author Livy’s History of Rome.

236. Alfred L. Boisseau (French/American, 1823-1901), “Woman with a Basket on her Head in a Tropical Landscape”, 1866, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, artist’s information on paper label en verso of stretchers, 13 in. x 9 1/2 in., period frame. $5000/7000 Note: Alfred Boisseau was very influential in defining Louisiana landscape painting in the first half of the 19th century. His works influenced a generation of artists, including François Bernard. Boisseau made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1842 after having studied under the academic artist Paul Delaroche. Like many young Parisians at the time, Boisseau was captivated with the native populations of the New World. George Catlin’s Indian Gallery Exhibit in 1845, the first of many Wild West shows to tour France, left a profound impact on the young Boisseau that influenced his decision to join his brother, secretary to the French Consul, in New Orleans. Between 1845-1846, Boisseau painted numerous landscapes and portraits of the Choctaw Indians and Creole population, five of which were exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1848, including his pivotal, most iconic landscape painting “Louisiana Indians Walking along a Bayou.”

236

Over the next decade, Boisseau was quite peripatetic, traveling between France, Louisiana and Ohio, before settling in Montreal in 1860 at the outset of the American Civil War. Even though Boisseau only spent a few years in Louisiana, the richness of its tropical landscape and people remained a recurrent theme in his work. The sienna colored paths scattered with tropical foliage and vibrant dress of the Afro-Caribbean woman carrying a basket, in the painting offered here, are distinctly Louisiana. The Spanish-style blouse and tignon she wears recall Jacques Amans’ beautiful painting of “Creole in a Red Turban,” c. 1840, in the Historic New Orleans Collection. Amans’ and Boisseau each capture the 1795 sumptuary law that decreed all Louisiana women of color and mixed Creole descent cover their hair with the tignon, a knotted West African-style scarf, so as to differentiate them. The basket the woman carries in the painting is equally significant. According to Susan Tucker, African-American women in the Southern states until the turn of the 20th century “continued carrying baskets and bundles of folded clothes on top of their heads, when they found work as ‘washwomen’, doing laundry” for employers. Boisseau may have done sketches for this painting on his last known trip to New Orleans in 1865. Working in both Montreal and Toronto as a photographer and portrait artist throughout the 1860s and 70s, Boisseau was also influenced by the large contingent of slaves, who fled to Canada through the underground railroads between 1840 and 1860, finding employment as paid domestics in the absence of large scale farming. This beautiful painting records both the color and culture of the South and the African Diaspora. References: Lewis, Richard Anthony. “Alfred L.

248. Charles Giroux (French/Louisiana, c. 1828-1885, active New Orleans, 18681885), “Figures Arriving by Boat at a Creole Cottage beside a Bayou”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 24 in. x 34 in., original stenciled and gilt frame. $40000/60000 Provenance: W.E. Groves Collection, New Orleans, LA; Taylor Clark Gallery, Baton Rouge, LA, 1990. Exhibited: R.W. Norton Art Gallery, Shreveport, LA, April 12 to May 24, 1981. Note: Though mystery surrounds the early background of French-born painter Charles Giroux, his limited oeuvre records many aspects of the rural Louisiana landscape dating from 1868 to 1885 (last mentioned in the Daily Picayune, October 25, 1885 as well as in the New Orleans Artists’ Association for the same year). Giroux’s paintings are distinguished by their romantic palette, smooth brushwork, luminous skies and powerful recession of composition. His contemporaries recognized the special quality of his work as noted in the October 23, 1885 Daily Picayune article: “The work is remarkably well finished. The same careful study and painstaking care that characterizes all Mr. Giroux’s works is apparent in every line and shadow.” The same article noted the artist’s fascination with creating landscapes with an extensive use of vanishing perspective. All of Giroux’s virtues mentioned above are present in the work offered here depicting a scene of men returning by pirogue to their Creole cottage on a bayou. Additionally, the prominence of the body of water on a dramatic diagonal relates compositionally and in subject matter quite closely to “Louisiana Bayou Plantation”, 1860, in the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans. The large scale of the work offered here is comparable to his masterwork “Cotton Plantation” of the 1850s in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

An American Aesthetic Marquetry, Mother-of-Pearl, Mixed Metals and Carved Rosewood Center Table, late 19th c., the inset square top with masks, eagles and scrolling leaves; conforming frieze with scrollwork-framed reserves enclosing foliate patterns, mask topped cabriole legs terminating in claw-and-ball feet, scrolled stretchers centering pyramid finial, height 32 in., width 32 1/2 in., depth 28 in. $5000/7000 Note: The use of brass and mother-of-pearl inlay in the marquetry adorning the top of the current lot is indicative of the work of a specialized cabinetmaker practicing in New York City or Philadelphia. The New York furniture makers George Schastey and Herts Brothers as well as the Philadelphia cabinetmaker Gottlieb Vollmer are known to have produced furniture with exquisite marquetry incorporating metallic and mother-of-pearl inlays. The feet terminating in cabriole legs decorated with Renaissance grotto masks are reminiscent of the claw-and-ball feet found on Chippendale chairs, tables and case pieces made in Philadelphia during the mid-eighteenth century. Inlaid into the top are eagles, a motif that was popular in American design in the early nineteenth century. The references to the Colonial and Federal periods in the carved claw-and-ball feet and the inlaid eagles suggest that this table may have been made as an exhibition piece for the Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia in 1876. 292.

An American Classical Carved Mahogany Sideboard, early 19th c., arched molded crest, rectangular mirror plate, centered by columns, marble top, torus molded frieze drawer, door with demilune enclosing radiating convex panels, flanking pedestal sections each with leaf-and-fruit carved scrolled bracket, torus molded frieze drawer, paneled door flanked by columns; plinth base, acanthus carved turned feet, height 66 in., width 73 in., depth 26 1/2 in. $4000/6000

Note: This sideboard exhibits a number of details associated with the work of Philadelphia cabinetmaker Anthony G. Quervelle, including a fan with radiating convex panels, scrolled brackets carved with cornucopiae spilling fruit and vegetables, classical columns, and torus-molded drawer fronts. The truncated demilune panel on the current lot appears on various sideboards indicating that modified versions of Quervelle’s sideboards were produced in other shops. The turned feet found here carved with acanthus leaves substitute for the more elaborate lion’s paw feet typically found on sideboards made by Quervelle. Reference: Sideboards in the manner of Anthony G. Quervelle are discussed in Wendy A. Cooper, Classical Taste in America (Baltimore, 1993), pp. 231-232.

$1200/1800

$3000/5000

Note: This table incorporates a standard that is virtually identical to the standard of a well-known tea table with a firm attribution to Anthony G. Quervelle on the basis of its association with a games table labeled by Quervelle, both of which were made in c.1820-1830 for John and Rebecca Ruckman of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The standard of each table features the typical Quervelle “spouting fountain” of downward-sloping acanthus leaves in combination with distinctive gadrooning and a molded ring carved with acanthus leaves.

Note: The configuration of the back of these chairs centered by a segmented cross is seen in well-known examples from the Phyfe workshop, including a suite of twelve chairs made for Thomas Cornell Pearsall, now in the “Richmond” period room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a suite conserved by the House of History in Kinderhook, and chairs from the collections of Berry Tracy and Peter Terian.

Provenance: Collection of a New Orleans Gentleman, acquired from Kurt E. Schon, Ltd. Gallery, New Orleans, LA. Note: This fine oil sketch, very close to those by John Constable, closely parallels another smaller study of his “Anglers at Stratford Mill”, 1811, discovered in 1982, at 7 3/8 in. x 5 3/4 in. (Ian Fleming Williams and Leslie Parris, The Discovery of Constable, London, 1984, p. 133, fig. 59); it even more closely resembles a Constable oil sketch with an exactly similar perspective and churchtower, dated 30 July 1816, rediscovered in 1981 (ibid., color frontispiece). However, Williams and Parris document many close followers and imitators of the master, of which this may well be one of the more inspired works.

Note: The candelabrum’s base is often attributed to a black basalt urn in the British Museum Collection that William Bullock designed and Herculeum Pottery made c. 1805 (acc. 1992.041.1). The urn, marked “W. Bullock, PUB. July 1, 1805” bears the same spreading tripartite base centering a mask with volute terminals and paw feet. According to T. Clifford, Bullock advertised this design in his 1805 trade-sheets for his establishment as “W. Bullock, Jeweller, Silversmith and China Man, as the Museum and Bronze Figure Manufactory”. Fine clocks and period lighting bearing this distinctive base have been auctioned at Bonhams and Christie’s.

390. Attributed to Gustave Eiffel (French, 1832-1923), cast iron architectural element in the form of a figure of a Dolphin, the serpentine body surrounded by reeds and cattails, terminating in an aperture to emit water, vertical bracket support with mounting holes, height 61 in., width 28 in. $10000/15000 Note: The figure of the dolphin, lot 390, and architectural panel of a river god or Neptune offered in the next lot are recurrent images employed throughout French architecture since the fourteenth- century, when the image and name of the dolphin was adopted for the heir apparent to the French throne. As the Roman god of the sea, Neptune is often associated with the iconography of the dauphin. Public works throughout Paris boast these architectural elements, including La Place Dauphine (erected by Henry IV to honor his son Louis XIII); the Pont Neuf (oldest bridge in Paris); and the Fontaine de Gaillon, 1828, which features a triton and horse astride a dolphin. The architectural elements, offered in these lots, however, are characteristic of French 19th century architects, namely Gustave Eiffel, who came of age under Napoleon III’s modernization of Paris (1853-1870). Gustave Eiffel, architect of the Eiffel Tower, began his career in the early 1850s under Emperor Napoleon III’s vast public works program to renovate Paris from its medieval architecture of winding streets and crowded quarters into the broad boulevards and parks that characterize its current day architecture. This project was overseen by Baron Haussmann, who decried that iron, a metal made economically feasible by the industrial revolution, was the material of the future on which the new Paris would be built. “Iron, iron, nothing but iron” is what Haussmann demanded of the preeminent architect Victor Baltard for the first two projects of the new republic: the expansion of the “Pont Neuf” to include a pedestrian sidewalk and the construction of Les Halles (central market). The expansion of the “Pont Neuf”, designed to complement the nearby Place Dauphine, featured lamp posts that included figures of dolphins alternating with heads of river gods and Neptune that are strikingly similar in design to these elements illustrated here. Baltard’s pioneering use of iron under Haussmann’s direction left a lasting influence on Eiffel. Throughout his career, he returned to cast-iron as the preferred material for decorative bridge columns or supports, because it was a more malleable and lighter material than steel. A superb example of this is the “Pont de la Porte de France” bridge in Grenoble that Eiffel designed in 1892. All the piers along the bridge terminate in a serpentine bodied dolphin capable of emitting water. Based upon the similarities of the dolphins on the Grenoble bridge and Baltard’s lamp posts, it is quite possible Eiffel designed these dolphins as well. The architectural panel of the river gods or Neptune likely functioned as architectural metopes alternating between the decorative dolphin pier supports.

Louise “Lulu” M’Liss Rolling and her elder brother James Henry Rolling were the only children of Henry J. Rolling, Jr. and Louise Marie Reiss. Their grandfather, James J. Reiss (1822-1889), opened the J.J. Reiss Company at 417-423 Decatur Street in New Orleans in 1860 to manufacture confectioneries, crackers and candies. James J. Reiss also was a prominent citizen in the public affairs of the day, serving as director of the old Carrollton Railway and vice president of the Peoples Bank. Their mother, Louise Marie Reiss (1862-1886), was the second child and only daughter of James J. Reiss. Louise survived only eight days following Lulu’s birth. Subsequently, Lulu’s father and grandfather doted on her throughout her life. Lulu Rolling married John Hudson Lange in 1914, a union resulting in one son, John Hudson Lange, Jr. of Asheville, NC.

437

$15000/25000 Provenance: A St. Louis, MO estate. Note: Edward Henry Potthast was born in Cincinnati, the son of German immigrants. After extensive art training in the U.S. and Europe, he became one of the most significant artists to emerge from the burgeoning art milieu of Cincinnati during the nineteenth century. Notably, he was the first Cincinnati artist to work in the Impressionist style. After his move to New York in 1896, Potthast made scenes of people enjoying leisurely holidays at the beach and rocky harbor views his specialty. He spent summer months in any one of a number of seaside art colonies, including Gloucester, Rockport and Cape Cod in Massachusetts, and Ogunquit and Monhegan Island, Maine. The view of Gloucester Harbor offered here is a lovely example of Potthast’s mature style, combining the vivid colors of Impressionism with the strong brushwork of the Munich School. To be included in the forthcoming Edward Henry Potthast catalogue raisonné being prepared by Mary Ran.

The gallery sold the artwork of George Rodrigue exclusively, through partners Mr. and Mrs. Sato. The work offered here was purchased and framed in Tokyo and is an excellent example of an important period in the artist’s career when his work was defined by strong, graphic shapes and colors. Rodrigue personally visited Tokyo on several occasions, including for an exhibition of new works in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. Rodrigue’s work continues to enjoy great success with Japanese collectors, who are drawn to the story of Tiffany and parallels to the native Japanese story of Hachiko, the faithful dog who waited outside Shibuya Station for his late master, night after night.

112

$4000/6000 Provenance: Gift of the artist. Note: In the mid1990s, Rodrigue experimented with his iconic Blue Dog and 475 featured him in a bear costume, inspired by his beloved childhood stuffed bear named “Boogie”. At the same time, he transformed his twocolor Blue Dog silkscreen images into complex four-color versions. The expanded printing process and the new motif, both seen in the work offered here, created a challenge for the artist that resulted in more complicated scenes and appealed to his sense of humor. 475.

Note: Billy Price Carroll, a Tennessee native, was a talented artist, whose work helped define Southern portraits and landscapes in the mid-20th century. Her career spanned 63 years with 55 worldwide solo exhibits. Known for her expressive use of color and bold lines influenced by Chinese art, Carroll quickly became a “household name” in Memphis. According to the Commercial Appeal, her “portraits hung in hundreds of living rooms.” 976

A Pair of Antique Hepplewhite Carved Mahogany Side Chairs, stamped “Gillows”, each with shield back, “Prince of Wales Feather” splat, shaped seat, molded square tapered legs, spade feet.

Carroll attended the Memphis Art Academy, the Farnworth School of Painting in Florida and the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. She also spent several years in Hong Kong, studying ink calligraphy, which culminated in the first exhibit of Chinese art by a Westerner in Tapei, Taiwan. The painting offered here is an excellent precursor to Carroll’s mature oeuvre. Painted while still a student at the Memphis Art Academy, the work combines academic modeling (young man’s face) with flat geometric abstraction (paper) to capture the wistful expressiveness of a teenager daydreaming before the Sunday comics. The work recalls the experimental paintings of Marie Hull and Josephine Crawford, who also achieved critical acclaim for their contemporary views of the South.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale. 1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.” B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale. C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery. D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable. E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate. F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief. 2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot. 220

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same. 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item. 5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction. 6.
