Letter from the CEO
Looking back over the years, the holiday season, one of my favorite times of the year, has become a lovely blend of happiness and wonderful memories. However, the Christmas Eve when I was six years old, anticipating the magic of the holiday as only a child can, is one that stands out in exceptionally vivid detail. My family lived in a farmhouse outside of Denver, the kind that was built in the 1930s – small and drafty with a temperamental heater. My mom, from whom I must have gotten my love of the holidays, was a wonderful cook. The house was filled with tempting aromas of turkey, cookies, pies and other goodies throughout the day. Once we ate until we could eat no more, snow began to blanket the outdoors, and, of course, the electricity went out. But the fire was roaring and Mom had wisely placed candles throughout the house.
The list below should be read to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas.
One, two, three, start humming, please!
On the first day of auction, NOAG
brings to you…1 Spectacular Emerald
and Diamond Pendant, 2 Silver Sleighs,
3 Diamond Rolexes, 4 Andy Warhol Screen Prints, 5 Works by George Rodrigue, 6 Pieces of Vintage Louis Vuitton Luggage, 7 Paintings by Camille Bombois, 8 Pieces of Lalique, 9 Antique Netsukes, 10 Pieces of Wedgewood, 11 Copper Pots and Crescendo Now - 12 Vintage Fornasetti "Citta di Carte" Plates!
I was particularly excited that year because it had been widely broadcast that Santa would be flying through the sky in the form of a comet. At 9:30 p.m., the appointed time, my dad – a tall, dyed-in-the-wool Navy man – and I stood bundled up in the yard, holding hands in the quietly falling snow, watching for Santa. And sure enough, I know I saw his blazing sleigh traveling across the night sky. Santa outdid himself that year bringing exactly what I longed for with every fiber of my six-year-old being: a cowgirl outfit with real leather boots. My mother often laughingly reminded me through the years of how she had to wash it at night because I wore that cowgirl outfit every day for the next year. That year was perfect. I believed in everything Christmas with my whole heart. Everyone at New Orleans Auction Galleries has been working like elves to bring you the most wonderful holiday season you can imagine. All in all, we are offering a combination of six tremendous collections and estates that would make Santa proud! Please join us for our preview party on Thursday, December 3, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., for a little holiday cheer and some fabulous viewing. NOAG is presenting 1,226 holiday possibilities, beginning Friday, December 4 and continuing through Sunday, December 6. As always, we have saved you a cozy chair along with holiday treats and drinks served throughout the auction. Memories are a priceless gift in and of themselves. Wherever you are in the world – however you celebrate this season of mystery, magic and awe – the NOAG family wishes you much wonder, love and, most of all, beautiful memories.

The L au rÉ Chustz Fl at t Col l ection
The Flatt Collection contains a diverse selection of 19th and 20th century French paintings and sketches, representing a wide range of styles with works by Maximilien Luce, Camille Bombois, Jean Dufy, Sam Szafran, André Bauchant, Ferdinand du Puigaudeau and François Gall. In addition, the sale features a group of 18th and 19th century English and Continental wooden lay figures, including several rare and early examples. Lauré and Lloyd Flatt met in New Orleans in 1992 and married in 1999, remaining together until Lloyd’s death in 2008. They shared a passion for travel, frequenting homes in London, Antigua and Virginia, as well as shops, dealers and auction houses throughout the world. Lauré’s late husband was a successful aerospace engineer and executive and was hailed as “one of the country’s premier wine collectors” in an obituary by The Washington Post. Fellow collectors recognized him for his sophisticated palate and his willingness to enjoy rare and highly sought-after wines with family and friends at renowned tastings in his 15,000-bottle wine cellar in the heart of the French Quarter. The sale includes a unique selection of antique corkscrews, wine coolers, funnels, sterling silver wine labels, porcelain wine casket labels and other wine and bar accessories from Lloyd Flatt’s personal collection. Lauré and Lloyd shared a love for collecting, amassing an impressive and important array of fine art, antique furniture, decorative arts, jewelry and silver. On selling items from their collection, Lauré said: “I know that Lloyd would want others to have the opportunity to enjoy these fine objects as much as we did. I have now reached a time in my life to downsize our collection and share these treasures with other collectors.” Lauré and Lloyd’s discerning taste and meticulous stewardship is evident in the range and quality of items offered. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to have been selected to handle The Flatt Collection.

Presented in a giltwood and gesso frame with a linen liner. Provenance: Sotheby’s, New York, September 30, 1999, Impressionist and Modern Art sale, lot 147; The Flatt Collection. Illustrated: To be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne by Antoine Laurentin. [5000/8000] Illustrated A painter in the Impressionistic style, Puigaudeau received a traditional education in his native Nantes before traveling to Italy and Tunisia. Upon his return to France he spent some time in the Breton city of PontAven, becoming an integral part of the thriving artistic community and befriending fellow artists Paul Gauguin, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir; these artists were to be forces behind the “Pont-Aven School”, which emphasized the use of bold, light-infused colors. This approach is clearly seen in Puigaudeau’s work which is known for its distinctive wide range of vivid colors and understanding of how light can shape landscapes and objects, creating a certain mood. The intimate painting here is a wonderful example of the artist’s style: a village bathed in the mid-day sun, serenely combining the small, energetic brushstrokes of haystacks and poppies in the foreground we associate with the Impressionist style, together with the strong linear definition of the church steeple and rooftops beyond.

Born into a family of modest means, Luce began his artistic career as an engraver. He turned to painting full time in 1883, when employment opportunities for engravers became scarce, due to advancements in printmaking. He was introduced to the Neo-Impressionist group by fellow artist Camille Pissarro in 1887, and quickly adopted the Divisionist technique of color application in separate patches or dots, believing it achieved unprecedented luminosity. Luce’s dramatic use of light (both artificial and natural) and vibrant color preceded Fauvism, whose followers’ use of unnatural color and energetic brushstrokes characterized the movement. He painted ordinary objects and scenes of life in Paris with lyricism and passion; he was fascinated by Haussmann’s progress which shaped Paris into the city we are familiar with today. In 1892, he visited St. Tropez and this visit--to a much less industrial region--resulted in tranquil, sun-filled works, such as the one presented here. As most Neo-Impressionists, Luce was an anarchist and his political convictions prompted him in 1940, after a long association with “Societe des Artistes Independants”, to resign as a vice president, in protest of the regime laws of the Vichy government (Germany’s puppet government in France), which banned Jewish artists from participation in the group. The year Luce died, Bibliotheque National de France held a memorial exhibition; another memorial exhibition was mounted at Les Independants from March to April 1942. According to the Musee d’Orsay, Maximilen Luce, whose long career left behind an extensive body of work, is “one of the best representatives of the neo-impressionist movement”.

Glazed, matted and framed. Provenance: Galerie Claude Bernard, Paris, France; The Flatt Collection. [100000/150000] Illustrated Sam Szafran was born in the Marais, "the Jewish Ghetto” of Paris, in 1934 to Polish Jewish working class immigrants. After the Germans invaded France in 1940, Szafran survived the occupation in exile, fleeing from towns and countries, enduring unspeakable acts of anti-Semitism. In 1944, he was arrested and imprisoned in the Drancy internment camp before American troops liberated it. Following the war, in which most of his family died, Szafran sought refuge in Switzerland and then Australia, not returning to France until 1951. It was during this period that he found solace in art, experimenting first with drawing and then oils. From 1951‑1960, Szafran immersed himself in the Parisian art scene, studying abstraction under Henri Goetz at the Atelier de la Grande Chaumiere, and taking up an itinerant residence in Montparnasse, learning from some of the most established artists of the time like Jean Arp, Yves Klein, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Joan Mitchell and Alberto Giacometti. In the artist’s words, the cosmopolitan bazaar of Montparnasse was his “Eldorado;” a state of being he only fully achieved by working in the malleable medium of pastels. A biography of some artists is simply that; for Szafran it is the visual manifestation of his artwork as the warstricken existential wanderer, which he described in an interview with Alain Veinstein as “kind of intellectual ghetto translated into images." The artist’s studio/and conservatory, which for the artist, occupy the same place, are tightly contained interiors that on one hand express a claustrophobic foreboding, consistent with the winding streets and staircases of tenement places. On the other hand, Szafran’s horror-vacui obsessionthe need to fill an entire artwork or space with detail, whether it be staircases that go nowhere or copious foliage that spills outward - liberates his compositions, turning them into dazzling kaleidoscope-like still lifes.

Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the two pastels offered here as lots 347 and 348. Both are studio/ conservatory drawings, a recurrent subject in the artist’s work that featured prominently in the debut exhibit of his pastels at the Parisian Galerie Claude Bernard (GCB) in 1972. In this lot, which closely resembles three pastels exhibited at GCB as part of the July-December 1971 series, the all engulfing foliage, trapped beneath the iron beams of the glass ceiling, burst forward in an abstract bouquet of blue.

[5000/8000] Illustrated Lay figures/mannequins are truly the “silent partners” in the history of art. It is purported that they were employed as anatomical aids by Ancient Greek sculptors, though no true evidence of them predates the Italian Renaissance, during which they were used by some of the most talented artists of the time. Fra Bartolomeo, according to Giorgio Vasari, was the first artist to devise a fully articulated life-size lay figure in wood. As Jane Munro states in her book Silent Partners: Artist and Mannequin from Function to Fetish, lay figures were never “artistic ‘props’ designed to assist artists of limited conceptual and technical abilities”. Since the Renaissance, the smaller lay figures/maquettes, made of secondary woods like pine and walnut/fruitwoods, were used to rehearse a movement or pose, in much the same way sculptors use modelli. As lots 356-367 illustrate, they were typically androgynous and came in a range of sizes generally under twenty-four inches. Horses, like the one offered in lot 351, were widely sought after by artists, particularly history painters, because capturing a horse in motion is an incredibly difficult feat. Larger life-size figures were almost exclusively used for modeling drapery (see lots 353-356). An anatomically correct form, with an impressive skeletal structure, would have been key for the articulation of this in the absence of a costly model or a difficult pose that a person could not sustain for long periods. For this reason, life-size lay figures were germane to major art schools, since 18th/19th century students were not allowed to matriculate to painting until they first mastered drawing anatomy, and then draped forms. In 1768, the Royal Academy commissioned a “Mr. Robert Addison”, to produce an anatomically correct layman to “have the motions” and “be compleat in every respect”. Addison’s contemporaries in France, namely Francois Guillois, a mechanic by trade, was also courting the government and top art schools for bids to create technologically advanced lay figures. In 1793, Guillois presented a prototype, not dissimilar in description to the one Gainsborough owned, to the Bureau des Consultation des Arts et Metiers and to the Lycee des Arts that possessed the same brass/metal joints with extreme range of dexterity and movement - arms and legs were constructed of two or more wooden bones to replicate the ulna and tibia, as well as their radius of movement, even the fingers moved at each joint. Guillois’ prototype was deemed too expensive and complex to produce. Six years later, a more economical model was presented to the Academie Royale; it too was rejected, because the Academy could not speculate as to whether the intendant skin/musculature and padding would impede range of mobility. No one knows what became of Guillois’ skeletal masterpieces or if they were ever “fleshed” out. Almost two centuries later, a wooden mannequin resembling the extant description of Guillois’ academy prototype, bearing a small metal label with his name on it, emerged in a Parisian antique store. It was quickly purchased by the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and is currently on display at the Fitz William Museum in Cambridge as part of its mannequin/ lay figure exhibit “Silent Partners,” after which Munro’s book/ catalogue was written.
352
The Guillois’ mannequin is striking in its similarities to the one offered here. It is possible that Gainsborough purchased an early Guillois model; he had the resources and means. Though life-sized, articulated, wood mannequin skeletons of this craftsmanship and ingenuity are rare, as they were not mass produced, there is also evidence of generic patterns being used, moreover appropriated, by other English and Continental inventors capable of courting the highest academies and artists for the recognition and patent of their mannequin/lay figure design.

Coppinger took the surname “de Burgh” by sign manual in 1790 not, as one might imagine, from his wife’s family, but in consequence of his descent from his third great-grandmother, the Honorable Frances Burgh (ca. 1576‑bef. 1619), wife of Francis Coppinger (1579‑ca. 1626), whose quartered arms constitute the baron impalement here. The couple are entombed in St. Martin’s Church in West Drayton, Hillingdon, Middlesex, West London. The Coppinger/ de Burgh family remained an important fixture in West Drayton until the advent of World War II, and the name survives there today with the de Burgh Arms pub.

Framed alike in 18th-century carved giltwood frames. Provenance: Collection of Henry Stern, New Orleans, Louisiana to his grandson Paul Rosenthal, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. [3000/5000] Illustrated Still-lifes flourished in Northern Europe following the Protestant Reformation. In the absence of saints and religious iconography, artists, as well as their wealthy patrons, found worship and meaning in daily household objects. The bouquets of flowers, ripe fruits, butterflies, hourglasses and skulls that populate these paintings are symbols (memento mori), designed to allegorize the transience of life from the Ecclesiastics and Gospel of Matthew that warn people to not succumb to the false idols of materials: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven...For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also....You cannot serve God and money” (6:19‑24). The Catholic Counter-Reformation responded to Protestant iconoclasm by encouraging artists to paint bigger, more dramatic religious scenes, characteristic of Caravaggio’s or Giovanni Battista Gualli’s work. In the paintings offered here, Catholic devotional scenes (painted a la mode Italian) are encircled and framed by Dutch-style lush floral garlands, creating a beautiful mix of religious ideologies and genres. According to Susan Meriam, art historian on Flemish garland painting, this style first emerged ca. 1607‑1608, when the Archbishop of Milan, Federico Borromeo (a staunch Jesuit), commissioned two Flemish artists, Jan Brueghel and Hendrick van Balen, to paint floral garlands around depictions of the Virgin Mary because images of Mary had been desecrated and demeaned by Protestants, the Archbishop wanted Mary’s effigy to be all the more honored by the inclusion of flowers as a framing device, thus combining the Archbishop’s two greatest loves--church reform and the visual arts. In the century that followed, this genre gained wide popularity with Catholic Flemish and Italian patrons. These devotional bouquets, often found in decorative roundel or cartouche form, were greatly cherished and revered as they graced many parlor walls and altars within the home.
453 Abraham Danielsz Hondius (Rotterdam 1625/30‑1691 London), “Hunting Party, Resting at an Inn”, 1653, oil on cradled wood panel, signed and dated lower center left, 35-5/8" x 62". Unframed. “A De Hont, 1653”. Provenance: Collection of Henry Stern, New Orleans, Louisiana to his grandson Paul Rosenthal, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. [20000/40000] Illustrated Hondius was an artist acclaimed for his depictions of animals, and his considerable skill is evident in the painting of a hunting party presented here. The figures, depicted resting by an inn, with recently shot birds in the foreground and a pack of dogs in various poses, are presented like a tableau against a receding wooded landscape. Hondius lived and worked during the Dutch Golden Age which spanned the 17th century, and was marked by the flowering of trade, industry, the arts and sciences. This, in turn, resulted in the rise of the urban merchant class. The new affluent middle class was the driving force in the popularity of certain subject matters in the pictorial arts, including the genre painting, still life, landscape and hunting scenes. Hunting, in particular, became a popular pastime with the Dutch aristocracy and those wealthy enough to own a country estate. This particular painting, capturing the hours after a successful hunt, combines landscape, tavern, animal and “nature mort” genres and was meant to impress the patron’s visitors.

Provenance: Collection of Robert Treat Paine II, Boston; thence by descent to his son Richard; Arthur Davidson Ltd., London, February 1, 1990; The Flatt Collection. [3000/5000] Illustrated Melchior des Pres, Sieur de Montpesat, was a prominent nobleman with an impressive military career. He was the Viscount of Castillon, and his wife Henriette de Savoie, the Marquise of Villars and Countess of Tende, was a lady of the court of Catherine de Medici. Sieur de Montpesat was Captain of the Chevaux-Legers, Governor of Chatellerault, and served in the Italian wars (1551‑1559). During the latter, he was recognized for his assistance in the capture of Calais from the English, and then later for his bravery after he was wounded in the battle of Saint-Denis in 1567. Pierre Dumonstier, the artist, also came from an illustrious family. At least eleven artists from the Dumonstier name served the French court during the 16th/17th century. Pierre was a skilled portrait draughtsman, often commissioned to depict French nobility under the reign of Henry II, and then under Catherine de Medici as regent Queen. The color detail of the sitter’s face and pierrcing eyes, offset by the esquisse-style bust in 3/4 profile, is prototypical of Dumonstier’s portraits. A fine example of this is Dumonstier’s other color pencil portrait of Montpesat in a plumed hat, ca. 1565, now conserved at the National Library of France.

Camille Bombois, a peripatetic autodidact, has a background as colorful as his palette. He spent his early years living on a barge. At the age of twelve, he left school to become a farmer. Wrestling at the county fairs, however, landed him a new metier far away from the fields as a strongman for a traveling circus. In 1907, Bombois moved to Paris, finding work as a railroad laborer. It was during this time that he began exhibiting his paintings in sidewalk venues beside street performers in Montmartre. This early period of work was characterized by somber colors, awkwardly influenced by old master paintings. It was not until after World War I, after almost five years in the trenches as a soldier, that Bombois embraced his inner joie-devivre, allowing his compositions to be colored by the circus and the richness of his childhood on the canals of his native Burgundy. The vibrant still-lifes (lots 1036‑1038), boldly defined through contrasting complimentary colors, have a theatricality redolent of the circus. Drawing upon his experiences, Bombois also favored landscapes with fishermen and forests. The influence of the Morvan woods and the famous waterways off the Yonne river are beautifully captured through the wondrous eye of a child in paintings like “Le Couple Pecheur”, offered here, and “L’Arbre Abattu” (lot 1035). The crisp delineation of form and minute attention to detail down to the fishing pole strings and tree roots in these works exemplify Bombois at his finest.

1076 Rare Antique Continental Quartz Rock Crystal Skull, carved in the form of a human cranium with incised teeth, h. 6‑3/4”, w. 3‑3/4”, d. 6‑1/2”. Provenance: Antiquus, London, January 6, 1997; The Flatt Collection. [10000/15000] Illustrated There are but a few antique life-sized crystal rock human skulls in the world, the majority of which have been purchased by major museums and collectors. Skulls of this magnitude made their debut in the 1860s and owe much of their grandeur and mysticism to one Frenchman, Eugene Boban (1834‑1908) - the official archaeologist of the Mexican court of Emperor Maximilian. Boban, fluent in Spanish and Nahuatl (Aztec/ Mixtec language), was also a member the French Scientific Commission. Before serving under Maximilian, Boban carved out a lucrative career in doling out Mexican “artifacts”. Though Pre-Columbian cultures in the Yucatan did sculpt small votive crystal skulls ~1‑1.5”, quartz was not the preferred medium nor were large three-dimensional objects. Most “death heads” were made of other materials in the bas-relief style of ancient stele and glyphs. “Death heads”, both crystal and not, featured prominently at Boban’s collection of MesoAmerican artifacts at the Universal Exposition of Paris in 1867. Demand for these small Pre-Columbian crystal skull votives led to the discovery of monumental ones, like the one offered here. Three of these Boban skulls sold to Alphonse Pinart, a French explorer and ethnographer, after Boban returned to Paris and opened an antiquities shop. All of these were donated to French museums. Another Boban skull found its way to America and was purchased by Tiffany & Co. at auction, before being sold to the British Museum. Recent lapidary technology has concluded that these rock crystal skulls are not of Pre-Columbian style, design or cutting tools. They still, however, are highly coveted for their remarkable craftsmanship and rarity at market. Since Boban’s death, only a few other known skulls have been revealed: the MitchellHedges one (1934); the Smithsonian one (1960); and Max, the eponymous skull, featured internationally on the Travel, Discovery and BBC channels.

Born in Chile of Irish and Portuguese parentage, Colvin attended the Art School of the Universidad de Chile in Santiago. She worked with sculptors Lorenzo Dominguez (1901‑1963) and Julio Vasquez Cortes before moving to France to study at L’Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris with Ossip Zadkine (1890‑1967) and Henri Laurens (1885‑1954). In 1952 she attended the Slade School of Fine Art in London where she met Henry Moore (1898‑1986) and began to move away from a realist approach. Inspired by the terrain of her native country, she soon began to create works whose elements were distilled to their organic forms. These often large-scaled sculptures in wood, stone and metal are multi-layered and richly textured.

Provenance: Purchased from Arthur Roger Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1998, by Mrs. Jac Stitch, New Orleans, Louisiana; to her daughter, the consignor, Mrs. Michael L. Jepsen, New Orleans, Louisiana and Scottsdale, Arizona. [30000/50000] Illustrated “Sculpture is living, it’s vital, it’s changeable. Even when you walk around it, it can be something different. Drawing is a reflection and coordinating eye and hand, but sculpture is your mind and an idea.” -Lin Emery. An internationally renowned artist, Lin Emery’s kinetic sculptures have an elegance of movement which masks an intricate and precise working. The components slowly sway and undulate, pushing and pulling each other in a seemingly endless dance, incorporating the very air around them. Using highly polished aluminum, a material she says is readily available in the port city of New Orleans, Emery creates abstracted forms reminiscent of the natural elements which inspired them. As the artist once admitted, “I love the natural movement of the trees on the levees, the river, and anything in nature.” Emery spent her youth traveling between New York and Florida, before enrolling in Columbia University at the precocious age of 16. She traveled from university to university before arriving at the Sorbonne in Paris. While in Paris, she became interested in the work of Russian sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1890‑1967) whose studio was near her lodgings. Zadkine accepted her as a student, intrigued by the artistic potential of the curious and creative young woman. Emery eventually returned to New York to study welding at the New York Sculpture Center, one of the few schools to accept women into such a program. Upon completion of her studies, she settled in New Orleans where she turned a portion of her French Quarter apartment into a studio. While her first sculptures were figural, Emery soon found herself more intrigued by the internal structural armatures than the finished work. She began to experiment with abstract welded sculptures, eventually incorporating natural elements - water, magnets, air - into her works to create motion.

Emery is the recipient of numerous prestigious national and international awards, most significantly the Laszlo Aranyi Award of Honor for Public Art, a National Endowment for the Arts Grant, a Louisiana Women of Achievement Award, the Osawa, Japan Grand Prix for Public Sculpture, and an Opus Award from the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.

1182 1182 Bernardo Amiconi (Italian/British, 1825‑1879), “Portrait of a Lady in White, In a Landscape”, 1863, oil on canvas, signed and dated mid-right on edge of ledge, 43‑3/4’” x 34‑1/4”. Presented in a fine, period gesso and giltwood frame. Provenance: Private collection. [8000/12000] Illustrated Amiconi is a somewhat elusive figure, and the few documented biographical facts are intriguing. A native of Italy who lived and worked almost exclusively in London, Amiconi had a seemingly successful career as a portraitist of the English aristocracy and members of the wealthy emigre Italian and Greek communities; sitters of his paintings included the daughters of the Earl of Shaftesbury and a member of the prominent Cassevetti family. Census records reveal that he resided briefly with fellow artist Charles Sibley (fl. 1826‑1847), a copyist and a fellow portraitist. Since some references spell the artist’s surname with a “g”, it is possible that he may have been related to Jacopo Amigoni (1682‑1752), a Neapolitan of Venetian parentage who worked in England for several years before returning to his native Italy. Amiconi’s will, proved by court in 1878, named his brother, a resident of Naples, as sole survivor and next of kin. While nothing is known of his education and artistic training, the accomplished nature of his painting suggests an academic background of some significance. His portraits, while slightly idealized as was the taste for society portraits of the time, reveal the mien and personality of the sitter, and each is placed within a setting most appropriate for the desired impression.
The artist pays careful attention to the compositional arrangement, the color palette - which with the portrait offered here juxtaposes the cool tones of the figure with the deeper warm tones of the background - and the variety of textures - here, the polished smoothness of the beads, the velvet softness of the skin, and the sheer lace of the dress. The delicate luminosity of the skin is especially reminiscent of such Academic artists as William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825‑1905) and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780‑1867). Amiconi exhibited widely and consistently, at the British Institute, the Society of British Artists-Sussex Street, and had twenty-two paintings, mostly portraits with identified sitters, accepted at the Royal Academy, London, from 1859‑1875. In July of 1877, Amiconi’s name appears on the admittance records of Bethlem Hospital (colloquially known as Bedlam), London as suffering from “general paralysis of the insane” (now known as paralytic dementia), a distinctly 19th-century term for a neuropsychiatric disorder affecting the brain. An almost certain terminal diagnosis, it was caused by late stage syphilis, which mostly affected men, and was often accompanied by grandiose delusions.

1187 1187 Henry Ossawa Tanner, N.A. (American/French, 1859‑1937), “Feeding Chickens, African-American Township Philadelphia, Pennsylvania”, ca. 1890s, oil on canvas, abraded signature and date lower left, 14” x 24”. Framed. Provenance: Private collection. Together with a letter of authentication from Rae Alexander-Minter, grand-niece of the artist. [40000/70000] Illustrated "I will preach with my brush." --Henry Ossawa Tanner. Henry Ossawa Tanner, the first African-American artist to achieve international acclaim and success, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, into an educated, middle-class family; the family moved to Philadelphia several years later. His father was a minister - later bishop - of the A.M.E. (African Methodist Episcopal) Church and his mother had been born into slavery and escaped with her family via the Underground Railroad. Both parents were social activists and educators, and Tanner was raised in an intellectual and religious environment. Deciding upon a career as an artist, initially against his parents' wishes, he began studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, in Philadelphia in 1879 - one of the few American institutions which accepted African-American students. While at the Academy, he worked closely with the newly appointed "Professor of Painting and Drawing", Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) and Tanner's years at the Academy were professionally satisfying - Eakin's considered him one of his most promising students. Tanner moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1888, where he set up a photography and art studio; while the venture was not as successful as he had hoped, it led to a teaching post at Clark College (now Clark Atlanta University). Tanner continued to paint, and one of his Georgia landscapes is in the collection of the Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, Georgia. In 1891, Tanner made his first trip to Paris to attend the Academie Julian where he studied with Jean-Joseph Benjamin Constant (1845-1902) and Jean-Paul Laurens (1838-1921). He returned to Philadelphia for a short period in 1893, and it was during this time he painted several of his most well-known works, including the iconic "the Banjo Lesson", a sensitive depiction of African American life; his "The Thankful Poor", another such image, was completed the following year. Speaking of the work presented here, Dr. Rae Alexander-Minter, the artist's grand-niece writes: "Of particular interest to me is that this painting has similarities one finds in Tanner's French Breton genre scenes. while the painting under study here depicts African Americans, it demonstrates the artist's level of comfort with ordinary folk involved in their daily routines. Perhaps it is also Tanner's desire to paint African Americans naturalistically. Sadly we have so few extant examples of this genre in Tanner's extensive body of work." Tanner was to spend the rest of his life in France, with brief visits to his native country. He had his debut at the Paris Salon in 1894, received an honorable mention in 1896, and was awarded a third-class medal in 1897. Tanner's reputation was now solidified. While many of his works are religious in subject, in the mid-1890s he produced a small number of paintings representing various aspects of African-American life. These works are all very similar in technique and tone. As Dr. Alexander-Minter writes of the painting offered here: "As I look more closely at the palette of the painting of deep browns, gray, amber, it is reminiscent of the colors Tanner used in the 'Portrait of the Artist's Mother' (1897), 'Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner' (1897) and 'The Young Sabot Maker' (1895). In addition, the palette and brushstrokes are similar to those we see in 'Sand Dunes at Sunset, Atlantic City' (ca. 1885)." "Feeding Chickens, African-American Township, Philadelphia Pennsylvania" is an historically significant and rare African American scene by Tanner to be offered at auction. The recipient of numerous prestigious awards, Tanner received the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Lippincott Prize, was named a Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur in 1923, and was the first African American made a Full Academician of the National Academy of Design in 1927. In 1899, the Philadelphia Museum of Art's acquisition of one of Tanner's paintings marked the first time an African-American artist was represented in a major American Museum.

Reputedly removed from William Avery Vanderbilt’s Tarrytown, New York, manse, ca. 1887. In 1886, William Rockefeller, brother to John D. and a co-founder of Standard Oil, purchased land along the Hudson to erect his family home. He engaged the firm of Carrere and Hastings to decorated the 204‑room house, interior elements of which are documented as having been crafted by the Herter Firm. During the 1880s, the Herter firm and their principal competitor Pottier and Stymus, shifted their focus from the production of art furniture to crafting interior elements for the homes of America’s robber barons. Period accounts of the house indicate the hallway was executed in oak, and the music room in satinwood, suggesting this was mounted on the hall side of the door frame. In 1941‑42, the house was razed. The grounds now form part of New York’s Rockefeller Park Preserve.

Framed. Provenance: Descended in the family of the artist. [7000/10000] Illustrated William Woodward, an American Impressionist portrait, landscape, still-life, and cityscape painter was dedicated to organizing and promoting Southern art. Few artists have left such a profound legacy on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast area as Woodward and his brother and fellow painter Ellsworth. They were professors of art and drawing at Tulane University and helped found the Newcomb School of Art, where Ellsworth remained as the chair of the art department until his retirement in 1931. William Woodward was equally pioneering in the development of Tulane. Trained in architecture at the Massachusetts Normal Art School, Woodward designed the campus’ early building and founded its School of Architecture. Much of our knowledge of New Orleans’ historic architecture in the Vieux Carré is owed to William Woodward’s rich documentation of its people and buildings in his many paintings/vignettes of daily life. Woodward’s portraits, though lesser known, exude the same passion and commitment to the city’s people. In 1917, after his son Carl enlisted in World War I, where he was seriously injured, Woodward painted several portraits of local soldiers, including the one offered here of his son. Other prominent “war portraits” of similar scale, palette and composition are those of General Allison Owen, and Lieutenant General Bryan Black, both of which are conserved in the permanent collection of the Louisiana State Museum. In a moving editorial published in the Times Picayune on September 22, 1917, William Woodward calls upon New Orleaneans to support its recently departed soldiers, including the names of the above-mentioned portraits. Given the loss of students, who left to serve their country, he asks for assistance in maintaining the Tulane School of Architecture in their absence: “It occurs to me that no better support could be given them than to carry on the school until they return to fight its battles. I therefore, offer one scholarship ($100) for the period of the war in the hope that the friends of the above mentioned will do the same.” Almost a century later, the Woodward family offers this portrait back to New Orleans in the hope that it too will follow in the tradition of William and Ellsworth and honor its veterans, as well as the Woodwards memory as founding fathers of the city’s art schools. Carl Woodward, the artist's son and lifetime New Orleanean, was born in 1894. He was a graduate of Tulane University, and served in World Wars I and II, achieving the rank of Colonel in the United States Airforce. He also founded Carl E. Woodward Inc. construction contractors company dedicated to preserving and emulating southern architectural styles. Woodward died in 1972, passing his legacy on to his two daughters and six grandchildren. 1209 William Woodward (American/New Orleans, 1859‑1939), “Portrait of Ethel, probably Mary ‘Ethel’ Dismukes”, 1919, pastel on paper, signed and dated mid-right, titled lower center, 26‑1/4” x 10‑1/2”.

Under these Conditions of Sale, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows: • An “Auction” is a public auction conducted by NOAG, at which Bidders may place Bids to purchase one or more Lots offered for sale by NOAG.

2. Before the Auction (a). ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. (i) NEITHER NOAG NOR THE SELLER PROVIDES ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY AS TO THE NATURE, DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, PROVENANCE, IMPORTANCE, OR CONDITION OF THE LOT. All Sales and Auctions are without any representation or warranty of any kind by NOAG or the Seller. Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing provided. All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.” (ii) No warranty of redhibition. ANY WARANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty against redhibitory defects, including without limitation: (x) any defects rendering a Lot useless or its use inconvenient; and (y) any defects diminishing the usefulness of a Lot; and any such warranties are waived and excluded. In addition, NOAG and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer’s intended use or for Buyer’s particular purpose. (iii) No warranty against eviction. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither NOAG nor Seller have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer’s sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale. (iv) No warranty as to authorship. NOAG does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship of works of art and fine art. 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. (v) No warranty of peaceful possession, etc. The following warranties are waived and excluded: the absence of hidden defects, peaceful possession, and ownership.

Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). Examination of property / Condition Reports. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that NOAG produce a Condition Report (“Condition Report”) for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed by NOAG’s staff. NOAG reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in NOAG’s sole discretion.
(c). Catalogue and other descriptions. (i) All statements made by NOAG as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalogue entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/ or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever 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. (iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price. (iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.
3. At the Auction (a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG; (ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment (iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and (v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion. (c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids. (i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).
(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith.
(d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). 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 or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j). NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.
4. After the Auction (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction. Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.
(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly. All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs; (x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids; (xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller
If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved. (i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.

NOAG and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

Data Collection In connection with the operation of our auction business, NOAG may need to seek personal information from Bidders or obtain information about Bidders from third parties (e.g., credit checks from banks).

By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.
