W 8. An Antique

12. Auguste Hiolle (French, late 19th/early 20th c.), “A Roman Couple Watching a Town in Flames”, 1892, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, 71 in. x 92 in., in a good period frame.

Continental GiltIncised Rosewood Pedestal, late 19th c., square swivel top, stepped plinth, tapered incised stem, conforming molded stepped base.

$3000/5000 Note: This evocative painting is a near-perfect case study of the Fin-de-Siècle movement called Symbolism. Its languid heroine beautifully illustrates the type of a Symbolist femme fatale, the tame lions generate a frisson of dread, and the studied unconcern of the male protagonist, with his insouciant caress of one of the lions, calls into question the whole “meaning” of the picture (which clearly presages the extinction of this elegant couple’s way of life, as they watch—with apparently total detachment—the burning of a nearby classical town, probably by invading barbarians).

$600/900 9. An Antique Napoleon III Marquetry and Gilt Bronze-Mounted Games Table, early 20th c., serpentine foldover top centered by a floral reserve, inset leather playing surface, shaped skirt, cabriole legs, height 29 1/2 in., width 33 in., depth 17 in.

Symbolism, together with Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, was one of the major movements in art and literature between about 1885 and 1905. “Symbolism rejects traditional iconography and replaces it with subjects that express ideas beyond the literal objects depicted. [Its] pictures appear more suggestive than descriptive … [they are] evocative and emotionally resonant; … their purpose was to render visible the invisible and to communicate the inexpressible.” As a contemporary critic noted, almost precisely apropos of a painting such as this, “… a good painter will show a house lost in the country, … a face or hands at rest, and these simple pictures will have a power of adding something to our awareness of life.”

11

$1200/1800 10. A Pair of Antique Louis XV-Style Caned Crème Peinte Corner Bergères, 19th c., each having an arched caned back with floral crest, padded arms, rounded seat rail, caned seat with loose cushion, cabriole legs, scroll toes.

Auguste Hiolle was a member of a family of artists, including the sculptors Ernest-Eugène (1834-1886) and MaximilienLouis (1843-1938). This large and impressive painting is clearly one of his major achievements, and—true to its aesthetic—leaves us both puzzled and fascinated with its implied outcome.

$1000/2000 11. Spanish Colonial School, late 18th/early 19th c., “The Virgin of Sorrows”, oil on canvas, unsigned, inscribed “Mater Dolorosa”, 20 1/2 in. x 16 1/2 in., framed. $1000/1500

A Pair of Antique Monumental French Bronzes of “Diana” and “Apollo”, after Émile Louis Picault (French, 1833-1915), each inscribed “E. Picault” at base, Apollo, height 68 1/2 in., width 24 in., depth 12 in.; Diana, height 65 1/2 in., width 18 in., depth 17 in., each on a round selfbase. $4000/6000 Note: These impressive works are a typical amalgam of the emerging style of Art Moderne, in the early 20th c., with a revival of the “Second Mannerist” generation of the School of Fontainebleau, of the late 16th c.

From the long-ago Fontainebleau models Picault takes his dramatically elongated anatomies, his scanty draperies, and the forms of his martial accoutrements; his Art Moderne influences are more subtle, and show up in his stylized faces, his simplified coiffures, and his daring quasi-nudities. His poses are unusually formal and hieratic, and perhaps imply an original commission for a symmetrical pair of niches.

With careful, scientific precision, lustrous palette and dexterous handling of the reflective qualities of light, Way’s pursuit of art in the Dusseldorf style of still-life painting was so successful that he became one of the most beloved and sought-after of Baltimore’s mid-century artists.

Note: The work of African-American artist Laura Wheeler Waring has been widely acclaimed; her portraits include such illustrious sitters as W.E.B. Du Bois and Marian Anderson. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Waring was the daughter of Reverend Robert Wheeler, who ensured that his children were well educated. Waring therefore graduated not only from Hartford High School and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, but she also studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. This self-portrait, depicting the artist in the National Gallery, highlights Waring’s education and her continuing dedication to studying art, something that set her apart from amateur artists of her day.

Note: Anne Goldthwaite was born into a genteel Montgomery, Alabama, family. In 1898, she went to New York to study at the National Academy of Design. In 1906, she traveled to Paris where she joined Gertrude Stein’s circle of avant-garde modernist artists. The work of Cezanne, Picasso and Matisse was a great influence. With other students, she founded the Academie Moderne in Paris with Charles Guerin as their teacher. WWI forced her to return to the United States and in 1913 she exhibited her work in the influential Armory Show in New York. Despite her travels and important art world friends, she always felt that Montgomery was home and loved to visit there. In 1915, she established her pattern of living nine months in New York and spending the summers with her family in Montgomery. Goldthwaite had a successful career as an artist and teacher for the next several decades. The floral still life offered here is representative of her modernist palette and style. A similar work is in the Roger Ogden Collection in New Orleans and is illustrated in the book by Randolph Delehanty documenting the works.

Painting listed in Albert Sperath’s catalogue raisonné, The Art of Ellis Wilson, University of Kentucky Press, 2000, p.74.

Note: Ellis Wilson did not paint images of the racial inequalities of 1940s America; instead, the artist chose to paint images of African Americans in a constructive and positive light. “Cooling Cylinders, Cooling” depicts a man working the production line at a New Jersey defense plant during World War II. The strength of Wilson’s New Jersey defense plant series earned him the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 1944, which was renewed again the following year.

121. John Kelly Fitzpatrick (American/Alabama, 1888-1953), “Wash Women”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, pencil-titled and bearing labels of “The Charleston Renaissance Gallery, South Carolina” and “Stonehenge Gallery, Montgomery, Alabama” en verso, 12 in. x 16 in., in an attractive giltwood frame.

120

$15000/25000 Note: The Southern artist John Kelly Fitzpatrick spent his entire life in his native Alabama, where he painted charming landscapes as well as scenes of African-American life.

Fitzpatrick’s formal art training included a semester at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1912 and a few months at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1926. He developed a style characterized by a vibrant palette and impressionistic brushwork. Fitzpatrick was preoccupied with light and shadow and enjoyed painting en plein air to best capture their effects.

The work offered here, “Wash Women”, is a lovely example of Fitzpatrick’s style. Each of the three women standing on the sidewalk wear a vivid dress representing one of the primary colors. White bales of laundry reflect the sunlight while each figure casts a long shadow.

Carefully rendered in shades of deep blue, the lights inside the cabin glow brightly in the window and are reflected in the water. An African-American woman wearing a tignon tends to a fire near the front porch. This composition exhibits a superb tonalism rarely found in Heldner’s work.

Note: This exceptional group of Clementine Hunter paintings has a distinguished provenance. Dr. Robert and Mrs. Yvonne Ryan were long time collectors of the work of Clementine Hunter.

Beginning in the early 1960s, the couple visited her each month at Melrose Plantation and amassed an impressive and varied collection of her work. In 1999, Neal Auction Company sold the Estate of Yvonne Ryan including her landmark collection of Clementine Hunter’s work.

Note: In 1884, the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition brought the Arts and Crafts movement to New Orleans. Held on the site that is now Audubon Park, the Exposition included many works by women, including pottery, needlework, fabrics, and furniture. That same year, the Woodward brothers came to New Orleans and began to develop what would become the Newcomb Art School; they had been recruited by Tulane University President William Johnston. The presence of these remarkable artists in the city inextricably linked the Arts and Crafts Movement, New Orleans, Tulane University, and Audubon Park.

Marie Madeleine Seebold Molinary was a pioneer woman artist in New Orleans and the second female member of the Artists’ Association of New Orleans, to which William and Ellsworth Woodward also belonged. Painting scenes of Audubon Park would have been a popular activity for any New Orleans artist, particularly those associated with Newcomb, as Tulane University is directly across St. Charles Avenue from the park. Fellow artists Ellsworth Woodward and Robert Bledsoe Mayfield both painted landscapes from similar vantage points as the current lot, including the lagoon in the park and the tower of Holy Name of Jesus Church in the background. The inclusion of Holy Name’s tower dates this painting to after the church’s rebuilding, which took place between 1913 and 1918.

$3500/4500 Note: This early work by Clarence Millet reveals his effort at creating Impressionist style paintings before developing the painting techniques for which he is now well known.

Although Millet continued his oeuvre by painting in a modified Impressionist style, his palette became more muted over the years and his brushstrokes became larger and more planar. The bright colors, transient subject matter, and the use of a palette knife to create texture in this painting reveal the artist’s technical experimentation.

Marie Madeline Seebold Molinary’s father, Frederic William Emile Seebold, was a wellknown art connoisseur who owned a gallery on Carondelet Street between 1913-1918. It is very easy to posit that the Seebold family home and gallery were the nexus of the vibrant art community of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in New Orleans. Almost every celebrated artist who visited New Orleans came to the Seebold home or gallery during this time period, fostering a creative environment for his children, who were both artists.

A celebration of American civilization with the inclusion of Old World contributions to New World progress, the Centennial Exposition impressed European attendees with American cultural achievements.

Likewise, it was at the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle that American accomplishments in engineering, design, education, publishing, and public libraries were impressed on the European public through vast exhibits from over 2000 American institutions and manufacturers.

This table, manufactured in Philadelphia, was clearly used by a major exhibitor in both Philadelphia and Paris. The inset leather top and massive work surface was likely in use for viewing manuscripts, documents and books.

295. George Caleb Bingham (American/Missouri, 18111879) “Portrait of William Joseph Eddins, Jr. (1814-1870s)”, 1844-45, oil on canvas, unsigned, 30 1/4 in., x 25 1/4 in., in an ornately carved, gessoed, and giltwood frame. $10000/15000 Provenance: Descended in the family of the sitter; to the present owner (details in Bloch 1986).

Note: The sitter, born in Fauquier County, VA, emigrated to Howard County, MO, in 1833; he shows up in all successive censuses until 1880, when his wife Elizabeth is listed as a widow. It is probable that she, like some dozen other members of her extended Sappington family, was also painted by Bingham between 1834 and 1845: she was the granddaughter of Dr. John Sappington and Jane Breathitt of Arrow Rock, Saline Co., both of whom Bingham painted at least twice, at either end of that span. The artist had returned from an extended stay in Washington, DC, by September of 1844, and probably painted the present canvas during the next 9 months.

This portrait thus comes at the very beginning of Bingham’s most celebrated decade, 1845-1855, during which he sent to various Eastern institutions his miraculous series of “River pictures,” a new type of genre painting devoted to the life of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, of which “The Jolly Flatboatmen” is the iconic example. Together with his fur traders, scenes of rural electioneering, and landscapes, these enchantingly specific, yet universally generalized, canvases make Bingham the most important painter of the middle of the 19th century in America.

A woman of strong opinions, she was known for her somewhat scandalous – and potentially dangerous – Royalist political beliefs.

The great Neo-classical sculptor Chinard created his portrait bust of Mme. Recamier in 1805/6 during one of his infrequent, but highly productive, visits to Paris.

Though initially trained in Lyon, Chinard spent years in Rome where he studied the ancient statuary and modern Italian sculpture, deftly combining elements of both in his work. In his depiction of Recamier, the sculptor captures the beauty, charm, and (as evidenced by the scant draping) daring of this remarkable woman.

368. Theodore Wendel (American/Ohio, 18591932), “View of Venice, along the Rio Nuovo Canal”, c.

1878-80, oil on canvas, signed “Theo Wendel” lower right, 21 in. x 24 in., in a period Arts and Crafts-style carved and giltwood frame. $12000/18000 Note: Theodore Wendel was one of the most successful and respected Impressionist landscape painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A native of Ohio, he studied with Thomas Noble at the McMicken School of Art at the University of Cincinnati. In 1878 Wendel traveled with his good friend and fellow artist Joseph DeCamp to Munich where both men studied with Frank Duveneck at the Munich Academy. Wendel soon befriended fellow art students William Merritt Chase, James McNeil Whistler, and John Henry Twachtman, and the group became known as the “Duveneck Boys”. From 1878 to 1880 they painted landscapes and figural paintings in Polling outside Munich, as well as in Florence and Venice. Most of Wendel’s paintings from this period have disappeared; it is therefore very rare for a work from this period to be offered for sale. The view offered here depicts the Rio Nuovo Canal in Venice. Wendel employed a soft palette of rose, pale blue and green, which combined with his confident gestural brushwork to produce an early work of Impressionism by an American artist.

368

In 1887-88, Wendel studied in France where he became good friends with Claude Monet; he was one of the few American artists whose work Monet chose to praise. Wendel’s career was curtailed by illness in 1917 and, despite being one of the most important American Impressionists, his reputation gradually faded. It was not until John I. Bauer organized an exhibition of Wendel’s works in 1976 at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City that the artist once again achieved the notice and respect he so richly deserved.

Raised in Philadelphia, he studied in Munich, Paris and Rome. Lambdin began exhibiting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1848. His success came from sentimental genre paintings, many of them including scenes of childhood and the Civil War.

In addition to his art career, Rinck also had a strong interest in agriculture

and wrote a pamphlet about his ideas on the model farm. He bought a farm in Algiers where, by 1859, he practiced scientific agriculture. The painting offered here is a landscape depicting a herd of cattle at rest along the river bank. Palmetto bushes frame the composition in the foreground while a distant tree line shows the curve of the Mississippi River. This rare Louisiana landscape by Rinck shows his affinity for livestock as they are serenely depicted in a moment of tranquility.

396. Nicola Marschall (Kentucky/Alabama, 1829-1917), a pair of portraits of “C.S.A. Colonel James William Bondurant (1835-1867)”, 1865, and his wife “Evelyn Sarah DuBose Bondurant (1838-c.1915)”, oil on canvas, former signed and dated with partial hand-written label “Jas. DuBose...Marengo, Alabama” en verso, 26 7/8 in. x 21 7/8 in. (ovals), in original oval stretchers, in period giltwood frames. $30000/50000 Provenance: Descended in the family of the sitter Sarah Evelyn DuBose, Marengo County, Alabama.

Note: Nicola Marschall was Alabama’s most celebrated portrait artist of the 19th century. A native of Prussia, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1849, arriving in New Orleans and then settling in Mobile. In 1851, he moved to Marion where he established a studio and taught at the Marion Female Seminary. In 1861, Mrs. Napoleon Lockett and her daughter, Fannie Lockett Moore (daughter-in-law of then Governor Andrew Barry Moore), requested Marschall to design a flag for the Confederacy. He created three designs, one of which was the Confederate “Stars and Bars.” Marschall also designed the Confederate uniform. Marschall was a prolific and award winning portrait artist. He is known for his many portraits of prominent statesmen, soldiers and presidents, including Abraham Lincoln. He painted Civil War participants including Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, John Cabell Breckinridge, Braxton Bragg and at least two portraits of Nathan Bedford Forrest. One of these portraits of Forrest is illustrated in Made in Alabama on p. 169 and is closely related to the portrait of C.S.A. Colonel James William Bondurant offered here. Both men appear stoic, staring intently at the viewer, strong and grand in their Confederate uniforms and bearded visages. This rare pendant pair of Marschall portraits depicts a prominent couple of the Confederacy, a son and a daughter of the great state of Alabama.

Evelyn DuBose was the daughter of wealthy Alabama planter James Henry DuBose. In 1861 she married James William Bondurant, then a Sergeant in the Jeff Davis Artillery of the Confederate Army, later promoted to Colonel. The couple had four children, Eugene, Mary, James, and Minnie, before Colonel Bondurant died from malaria in New Orleans in 1867.

Colonel Bondurant came from a family of French Huguenots who had immigrated to the United States in the 18th century. He commanded the Jeff Davis Artillery from May 1862 until April 1863. In that month, he was promoted and left the battery that he had helped achieve such a fine reputation.

The flower filled urn on the crest of this armoire is similar to that on Lansdowne’s half tester bed. The lobed finials, large beaded molding, ovolo corners on the cornice and plinth, scroll carved chamfered stiles, and turned feet are nearly identical to those on the rosewood armoire from the Lansdowne suite.

Interestingly, the armoire offered here features an emphasis on ripple molding so typical of American furniture of this period.

402. A Very Fine American Classical Carved Mahogany Huntboard, early 19th c., Virginia, crossbanded backsplash with scrolled spindled returns, the top with sliding tray on each side, a pair of drawers, spiral-turned supports, incurvate stretcher shelf, bulbous-turned legs, button feet, height 51 1/2 in., width 59 3/8 in., depth 22 in. $8000/12000 Provenance: Acquired from the estate of Ambassador James Bruce (b.1892-d.1980); probably inherited amidst the furnishings of Staunton Hill, Charlotte County, VA. Note: Evolving from Colonial-era long tables, the Southern “sideboard table” or “Cupping Table” emerged as preferred furniture for serving food and drink. Early examples had long legs and shallow drawers. Drawer depth increased through the early 19th century as dining accessories became more plentiful and storage needs increased. The commonly known term, “huntboard”, was applied to the form by early 20th century antiquarians.

The prolific use of yellow pine and poplar secondary wood, the plain backsplash, robust twist supports, vasiform legs and ball feet seen on this huntboard are similar to those on a Jackson Press by a Norfolk, Virginia, maker illustrated in Newbern and Melchor. Classical Norfolk Furniture, p. 45, fig 3-137.

Note: This unique standard does not appear in the Hooper, Dietz or Starr, Fellows and Co. catalogues, and no Cornelius catalogues have surfaced to date. The labeled font is an example solely designed by this Philadelphia firm.

Note: The figures offered here are identical to those found in an informative article by Donald L. Fennimore. Typically these figures were interchangeable as lighting components or as parlor sculpture. A pair of these rare figures is still atop the gas wall brackets in the Vermont State House.

Cornelius & Baker advertised these types as “bronze” though they were made of zinc and patinated to appear as bronze.

“The Departure” and “The Return” have a duality in the representation of Manifest Destiny and honorable service in the Civil War. Reference: Antiques and Fine Arts, Autumn/Winter 2010, “Cornelius & Baker’s Answer to the Rage for Parlor Sculpture”, Donald L. Fennimore, pp. 150-156, figs. 3 & 4.

411. An American Plaster Bust of Daniel Webster, mid-19th c., after Shobal Val Clevenger (American, 18121843), the classically draped figure of the U.S. Senator and 14th Secretary of State depicted with the distinctive Caesarean haircut, on a circular socle, height 29 in., width 18 in., depth 11 in. $1000/1500 Note: Apprenticed to a Cincinnati stone-cutter as a young man, Clevenger soon came to the attention of a local sculptor who encouraged the young man to create busts. Employing the skills he had learned from his time as a stone-cutter, Clevenger sculpted directly from the stone, without the use of plaster models.

He eventually moved to New York where he received commissions to create sculptures of such luminaries as Henry Clay, Washington Allston, and Daniel Webster.

Clevenger’s bust of Webster, as seen here, is considered the truest likeness and was used by the U.S. Post Office on its stamp honoring the great statesman.

Note: This early innovative American chair is based on “Reading Machine” and “Reclining Easy Chair” models in London publications Ackerman’s Repository of Arts (1813) and The Modern Style of Cabinetwork (1832). The adjustable bookstand seen on this chair has American antecedents, most notably at the Monticello joinery, where a Windsor chair was altered with a swivel seat and a writing paddle, and a four face adjustable bookstand was produced to Thomas Jefferson’s specifications.

Note: Henry Ulke, known for his portrait of President Ulysses S. Grant and for his photographic portraits of the Lincoln family, worked with his brothers Julian and Lee in Washington, DC, after their immigration from Germany to the United States in 1852.

John Edward Bouligny was the son of Louis Bouligny, who develped the Faubourg Bouligny, now in Uptown New Orleans, from one of his plantations.

Bouligny, the nephew of U.S. Senator Charles Joseph Dominique Bouligny, served in the United States Congress from 1859-1861. He was opposed to the secession of the state of Louisiana and he was the only Louisiana Member of Congress to retain his seat after the state seceded. A small, but memorable, segment of the New Orleans population were members of the anti-secessionist movement. Bouligny, who had married the daughter of a wealthy grocer in Washington, DC, and resided there until his death, belonged to this group of Southern Unionists.

These watercolor portraits by Ulke of John Edward Bouligny and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Parker Bouligny each include classical architectural elements in the foreground; the portrait of Congressman Bouligny also depicts the Capitol Building in the background (although the inscription en verso erroneously claims it is the White House) with the dome under construction. A photograph of Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration in 1861 shows the dome in the same state of progress.

Note: The East India Company cargoes leaving the Coromandel coast (on the southeast of India’s modern Tamil Nadu state) from the 17th through the 19th centuries included tea, silk, wallpaper, and lacquer goods, all of Chinese origin. This chest is typical of “Coromandel” goods which enriched English households. Forms that were easily packed (screens, coffers and cabinets) predominated the lacquer goods imported, and were completed with stands and fittings by English cabinet shops as seen here. The fashion for lacquer goods inspired English makers to adopt a version of the technique to adorn chairs, secretaries, tables and mirrors.

It is an essentially graphic theme found on Mesopotamian cylinders, Egyptian bas-reliefs, Mycenean pottery … and Dogon totems… it is a very stylized figure, probably a flower, that has been used as an ornament or an emblem by almost all civilizations of the old and new worlds. – Michel Pastoureau in Traité d’Héraldique

453

450

According to Pastoureau, in Heraldry: Its Origins and Meaning, modern use of the fleur-de-lis prolongs the life of a centuries-old insignia and emblem.

Today, the fleur-de-lis is particularly associated with the French monarchy and with areas in North America formerly settled by the French, including Quebec, St. Louis, Louisville and Louisiana. The Acadiana region and various cities in southern Louisiana, such as Lafayette, New Orleans and Baton Rouge, rely heavily on the use of the fleur-de-lis as a symbol of civic identity.

Following Hurricane Katrina, the fleur-de-lis witnessed widespread use throughout the city of New Orleans as an icon of grassroots support for recovery. In July 2008, Governor Bobby Jindal signed a bill into law making the fleur-de-lis an official symbol of the state of Louisiana. The Hornets, the Zephyrs and, most notably, the New Orleans Saints football team (est. Nov. 1, 1966) incorporate the fleur-de-lis into their logos.

$15000/20000 Provenance: Acquired from the artist, to a private collector. Reproduced in plate two of Pelicans: Walter Anderson, preface by Mary Anderson Pickard, Cadmus Editions, San Francisco, 2004.

Note: Walter Anderson’s deep respect for and empathy with the indigenous nature of the Mississippi Gulf Coast permeates his work. Anderson particularly found refuge and solace among the pelicans that inhabited the remote coastal Chandeleur Islands. Mary Anderson Pickard, wrote of her father’s fascination with the birds: Early in his marriage he left his bed one night to follow a flock of white Pelicans passing over his cottage in the moonlight. As they rested on a Marshy point, he waded out to join them. They accepted his presence. My Mother said that he returned, hours later, smelly but transported by the Experience.

In 1948, Anderson spent three weeks marooned on North Key in the Chandeleur Islands, where he was immersed in the colony of pelicans that summered there. In his logbooks, which he entitled “Pelican dictionary of common terms,” he noted the distinctive calls and cries of the birds. His sensitivity to and personal study of the pelicans led to beautifully detailed sepia drawings of the birds in their natural environment. A drawing related to this and the subsequent lot, “Pelicans at North Key” is conserved by the Smithsonian American Art Museum (acc.1967.96.1).

$5000/7000 Note: In the forward to the book Flowers: Mapplethorpe, Patti Smith wrote: “He came, in time, to embrace the flower as the embodiment of all the contradictions reveling within. Their sleekness, their fullness. Humble narcissus. Passionate Zen. He found them to be worthy conspirators in the courting and development of conflicting emotions. He also found it was as easy to hurl beauty as anything else. Often they were symbolic of him; his processes. Modeled in geometric shade. Modified in a famous vase and inevitably turned in the realm of their own simplicity - the blossoming of the mystifying aspects of the pure.

And the eye became a body, the murky heart of a rose. The sinister shadow of an orchid. Or the indolent poppy balanced behind the ear of Baudelaire.”

Note: The life and career of Ernst J. Bellocq, the turn of the century New Orleans photographer of Storyville prostitutes, remains something of a perplexing mystery made all the more so by the scant personal information existing. Over time, conjecture regarding the photographer has included claims he was a hydrocephalic dwarf. Virtually unknown until the discovery of a cache of glass plate negatives of Storyville prostitutes at Sal Ruiz’s antique store in the French Quarter sometime after Bellocq’s death, the photographer soon became one of the most intriguing and illusive of New Orleans’ many characters. Add to the fact that someone, perhaps Bellocq himself or his brother Leo, a Jesuit priest, randomly scratched out many of the prostitutes’ faces; whether this was meant to hide the girl’s identity or was an act of moral outrage remains part of the mystery.

723

722

A founder of Preservation Hall, Larry Borenstein, eventually acquired Bellocq’s glass plate negatives and had local photographer Dan Leyrer make a set of prints from the negatives prior to 1956. It was not until photographer Lee Friedlander - who had acquired the glass plate negatives in 1967 from Borenstein - exhibited his prints of the negatives in the 1970 landmark exhibition at the Museum of Modern of Art, and published a book with the images and text by Susan Sontag, that Bellocq’s photographs of Storyville prostitutes garnered national and international acclaim.

As an artist and photographer, Friedlander made decisions regarding the cropping of the images and the use of a gold printing out process which gives the photographs a rich, lush quality. In a sense, these Bellocq photographs printed

by Friedlander are the product of a collaboration between the two photographers.

Noel Rockmore (American/New Orleans, 1928-1995), “Percy Humphrey, Trumpet Player (1905-1995)”, 1966 acrylic on masonite, signed and dated “’66” upper left, titled en verso, 12 in. x 16 in., framed. $1000/1500 Note: With shows at Preservation Hall gaining popularity, the club’s founder Larry Borenstein, commissioned artist Noel Rockmore in 1962 to create a series of portraits of the “living legends” of jazz that played there nightly. Setting up an easel near the stage, Rockmore found inspiration from both the music and the musicians as he painted. Since these portraits were painted on the spot, he favored quick vigorous brush work that captured the individuality and character of the musician seen with this portrait of “Percy Humphrey.”

The Humphrey brothers, Percy on trumpet and his brother Willie on clarinet, were from a family of talented musicians. They both became well known and played at numerous local clubs. After World War II, both brothers joined the Eureka Brass Band, with Percy serving as the leader. When Preservation Hall opened in 1961, the Eureka Brass Band, with their distinctive musical style, soon became part of the nightly line up.

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.

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. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the conditions of sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate. If Neal Auction Company resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder.
