"The collector not only transports himself, as in a dream, to a distant or past world, but also to a better world..." –Walter Benjamin
From An Illustrated History of Furnishing
W e are all fascinated by the private worlds of those we admire. A glimpse into their personal spaces can thus provide us with insight into their stories, their passions and their style. While my list of favorite interiors is far too long to share in its entirety, the homes of Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent are endlessly inspiring to me. When Sotheby’s presented the collection of Pierre Bergé in December 2018, I studied the catalogues from cover to cover (and still find myself looking to them for inspiration from time to time). At the beginning of the first volume is a short essay written by Madison Cox. In it, he shares an anecdote that references Mario Praz’s An Illustrated History of Furnishing, a book that ultimately became a lifelong source of inspiration for both Bergé and Saint Laurent—and undoubtedly influenced countless interiors of the 20th century.
It was while attending Parsons School of Design in Paris that Cox discovered this literary gem buried in a bin outside of a secondhand bookstore. He bought it and shared it with his friends – yes, Pierre and Yves – both of whom had surprisingly not yet read it. Cox recounts that eventually “the influential volume became a bible of sorts and, over the course of several decades, Pierre would often refer to it as a source of inspiration for the various future houses he created across continents.” Talk about the impact of a serendipitously unearthed treasure! Naturally, I had to obtain a copy of the book and have been pouring over it the past few weeks. Praz’s writing is as opulent and detailed as the interiors illustrated within. From Greek and Roman neoclassicism to Art Nouveau, Praz explores the idea of our private spaces as reflections of ourselves. As I began reflecting on our July 30-31 Estates Auction, I found many parallels between Praz’s notion and the collections offered within these pages. Much like Bergé and Saint Laurent, Robert Sonnier, a Parsons alum, understood that a home is informed by its surroundings – its personality an extension of the items and stories that inhabit it. To quote Sonnier, “style can be expressed anywhere,” and certainly his distinct collection, which we’re pleased to offer in this sale, reflects that. We are also honored to offer an important and rare Lalanne table from the collection of Dr. Nia Terezakis. The distinguished New Orleans dermatologist studied art and interior design as a
young woman and has since amassed a remarkable collection of modern and contemporary art. The table, one of her favorite pieces, fittingly reflects her love of entertaining, cooking and art. This auction also features antiques, fine art and decorative objects from three New Orleans institutions that have now closed their doors: Royal Antiques, Karla Katz Antiques and New Orleans Silversmiths. Each unique in its offerings and its stories, these shops have contributed to countless interiors throughout the world. In the spirit of worldliness, eclecticism and individuality that characterizes both this sale and this city, we’ve partnered with Bar Marilou to present auction items in a series of styled photos. Tucked within the impeccably curated Maison de La Luz and as eccentric and vibrant as The Crescent City herself, we could think of no more fitting or elegant backdrop than Bar Marilou to help us bring to life this sale’s storied collections within the pages of this catalogue. I’d like to extend a special thanks to the fabulous team at Bar Marilou and Maison de la Luz for helping bring our team’s creative vision to life. Finally, I would like to thank Adrian Dannatt for his contributions to this catalogue. Dannatt, a writer, curator, historian and fixture of the art world, personally knew FrançoisXavier and Claude Lalanne and authored the most recent book on the iconic couple. We are honored to include his note on Les Lalanne with Francois-Xavier’s "Les Deux Capricornes Attablés" table (Lot 36). I hope you enjoy the contents of this catalogue as much as we enjoyed curating them. Much like interiors themselves, we hope they inspire you (perhaps for many years to come). See you at the auction,

FAYEZ SAROFIM (1929-2022)
A
IN MEMORIAM
s many of you may know, my husband, Fayez Sarofim, passed away in late May. Over the past few months, I have found myself reflecting deeply on his extraordinary life and on how fortunate I was to know and love him.
Fayez was a larger-than-life intellectual, a generous philanthropist, a passionate art collector, a loyal friend and loving father and grandfather. Some of you might also know him for his signature three-piece suit and Hermés tie, which he religiously wore every day.
I’ve had the distinct gift of knowing Fayez as a thoughtful, devoted, sweet and hilarious husband, who colored my life in the loveliest of ways. During our time together, Fayez showed me what true, once-in-a-lifetime love looks like. As one of the world’s greatest investors, it’s Fayez’s investment in our marriage that I will uphold as his legacy. Fayez approached our marriage with the same dedication, focus and enthusiasm as his business endeavors, and it’s that relentless, selfless devotion to our time together that I will miss the most. I will miss Fayez’s sharp mind, his overwhelming generosity and his unwavering loyalty. I will miss his love of family and his thoughtful approach to sharing gifts and experiences. I will miss his ability to sneak in extra bacon or treats to the dogs when I wasn’t looking. I will also miss his jokes because, despite his serious, contemplative nature, he was really, really funny! Laughing with him is one of my favorite memories. And I have to admit that I will even miss his countless stacks of papers—in his den, in the kitchen, on every available surface except for the countertops! Much like he didn’t let go of his people, he didn’t let go of the papers, books and items he treasured most.
Fayez and I shared a deep love for collecting and an appreciation for art (he loved flipping through the pages of every auction catalogue), so what better way to remember him with all of you than within these very pages? I think he would’ve been delighted. Put simply, Fayez was extraordinary in every good way. While I don’t want to imagine what my days will look like without him, I know his brilliance will continue to cast light over my life. Many of you who knew Fayez personally have graciously shared kind words and memories with me over the past couple of months. They have meant so much to me during this difficult time. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I look forward to seeing you all in the coming months.

oyal Antiques
oyal Antiques, a fifth-generation family business, was founded in 1899 by Hermina Keil and has offered fine antiques for over a century. Keil emigrated from Alsace-Lorraine to St. Francisville, Louisiana as a young woman and had a small business selling secondhand furniture. Determined to realize her dream of opening her own shop, she moved to New Orleans after the birth of her son and opened Royal Antiques, which was only the second antique store in the French Quarter at the time. Over the years, Hermina became a legendary fixture on Royal Street and a respected authority on American furniture and silver. The shop attracted clients from throughout the country, including Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Hermina’s son, Morris Keil, grew up above the store and joined his mother in running the business. He recognized the growth and demand for French and English antiques in the 1920s and broadened the shop’s offerings, building on Hermina’s success. Future generations of the family remained active in the ownership, sales and restoration portions of the business, transferring the artistry and knowledge to the next generations. The family’s presence on Royal Street grew to include more storefronts, including Moss Antiques and Keil’s Antiques. Lester Shapiro and his wife and business partner Nanette Keil Shapiro, granddaughter of Hermina Keil and daughter of Morris Keil, were the faces of Royal Antiques for many years. The couple shared a passion for the business and enjoyed
countless buying trips to Europe and England. Continuing the family tradition, Nanette and Lester’s daughter and son, Leslee and Neil, joined the family business with her parents and has been instrumental in Royal Antiques’ most recent chapter. While the beloved store at 309 Royal Street has closed its doors, Royal Antiques endures and will begin a new chapter by providing clients the same fine offerings as it has done for over a century, but now online at RoyalAntiques.com. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer a selection of antique furniture, lighting and mirrors from Royal Antiques.

obert Sonnier “It really doesn’t matter whether or not it’s in a rustic Breaux Bridge cottage or a sophisticated New Orleans mansion. Style is style. Style can be expressed anywhere.” –ROBERT SONNIER Rayne Acadian Tribune
July 11, 1974
School of Design in New York. Sonnier then moved to Paris to continue his studies and pursue a career in interior design.
LOT 639
“Sonnier’s return to Louisiana is good news to everyone interested in interiors, no matter which part of the state in which they live,” declared the Rayne Acadian Tribune in an article published in July 1974. Robert Sonnier, now enjoying his well-deserved retirement, had a masterful eye for interior design, but also understood that his success depended on strong relationships with his clients. He took the time to consider his clients’ needs and believed that a collaborative approach to design was critical to achieving a stylish and functional interior that reflected each client’s unique personality and lifestyle. Sonnier believed that decorating a space should be an enjoyable experience and that an interior designer’s role is not only to guide their client through the process, but also to ensure that they are mindful of quality. “That’s why it’s important for me to spend time with each client, to get to know them on a personal level. It’s important to know what they expect from a designer so that I can advise them not only what I think they should do, but also how to spend their money wisely. After all, it’s their money and their house and they must live in it on a day-to-day basis,” said Sonnier. Sonnier was born in Rayne, Louisiana, a small town nestled in the heart of Cajun Country known as “The Frog Capital of the World”. After graduating from Rayne High School, Sonnier attended Tulane University and Parsons
While at Parsons, Sonnier had the privilege of studying under Stanley Barrows, an influential professor and design historian whose students included Mario Buatta and Albert Hadley. His approach to interior design focused on the technical aspects of the trade, but he also taught his students how to understand lifestyles. Barrows cultivated and refined Sonnier’s skills and sensibilities during his time at Parsons, but it was Sonnier’s magnetic personality and passion for the trade that poised him for a successful interior design career. His understanding of architectural plans, unmatched attention to detail and ability to guide clients in a collaborative and constructive way earned him accolades and respect from his clients and peers. After completing his formal education at Parsons and spending time in Paris, Sonnier worked closely with
FEATURES / 2 several accomplished decorators such as Valerian Rybar, Michael Greer and Anthony Hail, who’s collective client lists included international royalty, Rothschilds and Hollywood stars. Sonnier introduced Rybar to Carole and Frederic “Fritz” Ingram and was hired to design the interior of the Ingram Corporation’s offices at One Shell Plaza in New Orleans. Following that project, they began work on the Ingrams’ French Quarter residence on Ursulines Street. Rybar’s demanding schedule did not permit him to oversee such a major project, so Sonnier stayed in New Orleans and ultimately completed the interior. The project was featured in the November 1980 issue of Architectural Digest. While not widely credited for his contributions, Sonnier played a major role throughout the process.
“Sonnier’s return to Louisiana is good news to everyone interested in interiors, no matter which part of the state in which they live." -Rayne Acadian Tribune LOT 19
Much to the delight of Carole Ingram, Sonnier’s close friend, he relocated to New Orleans and established his own interior design studio on Esplanade Avenue. Sonnier left an indelible mark on countless interiors throughout his decades-long career with projects ranging from stately Uptown New Orleans homes to beachfront retreats, including a project in Destin, Florida that he considers one of his favorites. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer fine art, furniture and decorative objects from the collection of Robert Sonnier, which are a reflection of his timeless sense of style and sophisticated eye.

ia Terezakis
As the daughter of Greek immigrant parents, Dr. Nia Terezakis learned from a young age about the importance of hard work, a love for life and, of course, the art of cooking. Her father, Christopher Katechis, emigrated to Montgomery, Alabama as a young man, joining his brother who had already settled there. Her father opened Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue in 1917, which grew to become a local institution and continues to operate today as the oldest family owned and operated business in Alabama. Over the years, its popularity attracted prominent customers such as Harry Truman, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimmy Stewart, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Clark Gable, Tallulah Bankhead, countless sports stars and every Alabama Governor since 1917. Nia spent her formative years in Montgomery, eventually attending Huntington College and earning a degree in art with the intention of pursuing a career in interior design and teaching. She married, but was soon widowed as a young woman. Her family doctor and his wife
“Good food soothes the senses—but great art awakens and fuels the soul.” encouraged her to attend medical school. She was one of only two women accepted to Tulane School of Medicine in 1962 and was the only woman accepted in her chosen residency. Nia went on to open her own dermatology practice in New Orleans and became an accomplished and respected doctor in her field.
“Life has surprised me, but never disappointed me.” – DR. NIA TEREZAKIS
FEATURES / 3 Nia wrote her friend, Gay Wirth, a prominent antiques dealer, importer and owner of Wirthmore Antiques in New Orleans, and asked for her assistance in acquiring one to add to her collection. Gay Wirth contacted Galerie Mitterrand in Paris in late 2008 to negotiate the purchase of the table, shortly before Francois-Xavier Lalanne’s death on December 7, 2008. The artist’s studio completed the table in 2009 and it was shipped to Terezakis in New Orleans in July of that year. Dr. Terezakis would like to thank and recognize Gay Wirth for her important role in acquiring the table offered in this sale.
Her professional success allowed her to pursue her love of art through collecting. As she puts it, “Good food soothes the senses—but great art awakens and fuels the soul.” New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer the most important work from Nia’s extensive collection of modern and contemporary art: a rare table by Francois-Xavier Lalanne. While flipping through the pages of the July 2007 issue of Architectural Digest, Nia fell in love with a Lalanne table that featured in an article showcasing the newly opened Four Seasons Hotel in New York. The table at the Four Seasons was selected by Peter Marino, a prolific collector of Claude and Francois-Xavier Lalanne’s work, for the Ty Warner penthouse.

For nearly three decades, Karla Katz Antiques has been a destination for design enthusiasts and collectors. Her iconic storefront, an endlessly chic white house nestled amongst the plethora of shops and design studios along Magazine Street in New Orleans, invited visitors from all over the world–from locals to celebrities and top interior designers. Items from her shop have graced countless interiors and appeared in the pages of numerous magazines, including Elle Décor, Elle and House Beautiful. Karla’s lifelong passion for antiques and collecting ultimately led to a successful career as an antiques dealer, respected expert and tastemaker. From a young age, she would accompany her mother to estate sales. While working as a flight attendant, she had the opportunity to tour Europe and developed an affinity for French antiques. Karla Katz Antiques started as a stall in a larger store, but as her inventory began to outgrow her space, she eventually opened her own shop.

Her faithful clients eagerly awaited the next shipment to arrive from her regular buying trips to Europe, excited to see her newest discoveries and ready to find something to add to their collection amongst the overwhelming inventory of carefully curated furniture, mirrors, fine art, lighting and decorative objects. Her sophisticated eye and ability to integrate pieces from her shop into any interior created a devout following and set her apart from other shops along Magazine Street and the French Quarter.

ew Orleans Silversmiths
New Orleans Silversmiths was founded in 1926 by Belgian silversmith Joseph Antoine Harck shortly after his arrival in the United States to exhibit his work on behalf of the Belgian government at the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia that same year. Karl Dingeldein, an accomplished silversmith, succeeded Joseph Antoine Harck as proprietor of New Orleans Silversmiths in 1938. The Dingeldein family of Hanau, Germany had a silver-making firm, founded in 1848, that produced flatware, jewelry and various other items. Brothers Otto and Karl August Dingeldein emigrated to the United States in the 1920s and worked as silver designers in New York. Otto moved to Cape Girardeau, Missouri and Karl to New Orleans. Karl Dingeldein became a prominent French Quarter business owner and resident, building on the success of his predecessor and continuing the tradition of offering an unmatched selection of fine silver. A 1944 article in the Times-Picayune notes that the shop was, “noted throughout the country for the beauty, fineness and artistry of its goods.” Dingeldein was honored as “Vieux Carré ‘Man of the Year’” in 1962 by the Vieux Carre Property Owners and Associates. The winner of that award was honored with a silver cup, “The Dingeldein Cup”, that was created by him each year. Dingeldein was also an accomplished pâtissier and owned a pastry shop with his wife, Johanna. Following Dingeldein’s death in 1965, the business was acquired Mr. Paul Leaman and business partner Hans Leutkemeier, who left to pursue his own business venture in 1972. Paul Leaman, beloved civic activist, supporter of the arts and businessman, has owned and operated New Orleans Silversmiths from the Chartres Street location for over four decades until recently deciding to retire and close the shop. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer a selection of fine silver and jewelry from New Orleans Silversmiths.

Alice Macallan Swan was born in England to Scottish parents and received her artistic instruction from her older brother, the wellestablished painter and sculptor John Macallan Swan. She exhibited regularly and was consistently mentioned favorably in the art journals of the day. In reference to her portrait of St. Elizabeth of Thuringia, the art critic for The Builder wrote, “If all legends were as well-depicted as this, far more interest would be felt in a branch of art which is too often only indicative of careful research.” The exquisite watercolor of St. Thais offered here is part of a series Swan created of primarily lesser known female saints; in addition to the above-mentioned work, others in the series include St. Gudula, St. Mosache, St. Dorothea and St. Elizabeth of Hungary. St. Thais was a repentant Egyptian courtesan in 4th century Roman Alexandria who submitted to being confined in a cell in perpetuity as penance for her sins. Swan was named an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1903 and was elected to full membership in 1929.

John Burton Harter "I am a representational painter. I make no apologies for it." –JOHN BURTON HARTER, 1997
The three works offered here are being sold for the benefit of the John Burton Harter Foundation, which is a non-profit organization established by Harter to ensure the continuation of his artistic vision and which provides resources to other non-profits that advance Harter’s art and interests. John Burton Harter was an artist, historian, patron of the arts and longtime Curator at the Louisiana State Museum who, at the time of his tragic death at the age of 62, was in the process of creating a gallery for homoerotic art in New Orleans. A native of Jackson, Mississippi, he was raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and attended the University of Louisville and Louisiana State University, before settling in New Orleans.
For most of his life, Harter was a closeted gay man, and both his life and art reveal an intentional dichotomy between private and public. Within the local art community, he was known and admired for his tranquil, linear landscapes and brightly-hued still lifes, which were exhibited to much acclaim. Privately, he worked on a series of eroticized male nudes of Classical inspiration. As Harter stated in the preface to his 1997 book; “I have been turning out works of gay-oriented art for nearly 30 years, most of which almost no one has seen. These paintings are ghosts for me. I am very conscious that art which touches on the sexual of whatever stamp is at greatest risk against survival.”

Exhibited: “The Outsider Art of David Butler”, Louisiana State Museum-Patterson, June 2011-March 2012. $2,000-$4,000 An African American self-taught artist, David Butler was born and raised in St. Mary Parish, of south Louisiana. After his mother’s unexpected death, Butler dropped out of school to care for his younger siblings while his father worked as a carpenter. Butler held a variety of jobs including working in sugar cane fields, sawmills and on shrimp boats. A work-related accident in the early 1960s forced Butler to retire, which gave him the time to create sculptures from corrugated tin roofing which he cut, folded and bent, and then enhanced with house paint and found objects. Combining images from his dreams with his religious beliefs instilled in him by his missionary mother, Butler created imaginative sculptures that decorated his home and populated his yard.

Butler’s whirligigs sculptures were kinetic and meant to be displayed outdoors, so that a gust of wind would set them into motion. He decorated his window shades with plastic toys, bicycle reflectors, buttons and assorted found objects that were intended to keep the heat of the day as well as bad spirits from entering his home. As the sunlight passed through the window shades luminous images moved across the floors and walls of the house.

With vibrant colors and energetic brushwork, Frenchy is known for creating “live” paintings while attending music performances, festivals, cultural celebrations, and Saints and Pelican games. In 2015, Frenchy was selected to create the poster for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival featuring a portrait of Bo Dollis, the legendary Big Chief of the Wild Magnolias Mardi Gras Indians, who had passed away earlier that year. Bo Dollis was part of the new generation of Mardi Gras Indians, following in the footsteps of Tootie Montana, who turned away from violence when one tribe met another on the streets, focusing instead on costuming and “prettiness.” Dollis brought the culture and music of the Mardi Gras Indians to national attention with a studio album of Mardi Gras Indian music in 1970. That same year Dollis and Monk Boudreaux, Big Chief of the Golden Eagles Mardi Gras Indians, appeared together at the first New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in Palmer Park (now Armstrong Park).

LALANNE A FORWARD BY
ADRIAN DANNATT WRITER, CURATOR AND ART HISTORIAN AUTHOR OF FRANÇOIS-XAVIER & CLAUDE LALANNE: IN THE DOMAIN OF DREAMS
“Animals have always fascinated me, perhaps because they are the only beings through whom one can enter into another world.” Thus François-Xavier Lalanne summed up his lifelong fascination with every sort of animal, the principal if not exclusive subject of his exceptional oeuvre.
respect. But though consistently sharing a name and adjoining studios their work was notably, easily identifiably, different and they only actually collaborated on a handful of works together.
FX was born in Angers in 1927 to a family that had made its And to enter into Lalanne’s own ‘other world’ is indeed fortune, appropriately enough, in cow bone fertiliser, whilst to find oneself in a magical domain filled with mythical his father drove the sleekest racing cars, and one could figures whether from Ancient Greek legend or modern conjour his own aesthetic genealogy from these elements, celebrity; for François-Xavier (or FX as he was oft known), animal anatomy and modernist engineering, bodywork. educated by the Jesuits, was as at After studying painting at l'Académie home with classical literature as Julian, where he won first prize as the the most modish elite, his frame most promising student of his year, “Animals have always of reference spanning everything FX began working as an architectural fascinated me, perhaps from Aeschylus and Ovid to such draughtsman for a firm associated with because they are the only close friends as Yves St Laurent, Le Corbusier. beings through whom the De Menils, Valentino and one can enter into Marc Jacobs. Indeed he continued with such drawings, another world.” as technical as creative, throughout His work was imbued with this his career. “It’s true that when I sculpt – FRANÇOIS-XAVIER LALANNE animistic spirit of the ancient animals I always begin with a drawing world, he would often mention in profile, the most obvious way to get a the time he spent as a guard at grasp on their volume.” And though he the Louvre where he was in charge of the Apis bull, but it abandoned painting after one successful solo exhibition was also part of the Surrealist legacy, of such friends as Max he later created some memorable coloured drawings and Ernst and Magritte. Thus that opening citation on animals prints, “often, on air planes, I sketch whatever comes into continues in a pleasingly Surreal mood, “Otherwise one is my head in little notebooks.” stuck in the human world, in one’s own image, like a man ceaselessly pacing in a house lined with mirrors, finding He met Claude at the vernissage of this solo show at the nothing but his own reflection.” Cimaise gallery in 1952 and soon they were living together at the Impasse Ronsin, an infamously bohemian cul-de-sac Of course the reputation and career of FX was intimately in Montparnasse, altogether rudimentary if not rustic with linked to that of his wife, the fellow-sculptor Claude one shared lavatory and only an old wood stove for heat. But Lalanne, for from their very first exhibition they had termed here their immediate neighbour and friend was none other themselves as a creative team, ‘Les Lalanne', grammatically than Constantin Brançusi, perhaps the greatest sculptor of confusing in French but absolutely logical in every other the 20th century. Their immediate contemporaries included
21

such young artists as Jean Tinguely and Nikki de St Phalle as well as Americans such as William Copley and the sculptor James Metcalf. The Impasse had been an artists colony since 1870 and curiously two of its more celebrated earlier residents had been famous American ‘animalier’ sculptors; Eli Harvey whose work was particularly loved by Teddy Roosevelt, who had his elk on his White House desk, and Alexander Phimister Proctor whose fabled pumas that guard the entrance to Prospect Park in Brooklyn were actually designed at the Impasse in Paris. There is an obvious continuity between such work and Les Lalanne who managed, almost single or doubly handed, to keep that whole ‘animalier’ tradition alive well into the 21st century. Whilst at the Impasse the young Lalannes were working together as window decorators and set designers, whether for the renowned couturier Christian Dior or choreographer Maurice Béjart. It was only with their first show at the celebrated gallery of Alexandre Iolas in Paris, that they really began those distinctive separate sculptural careers with which they would become so renowned.
22
It was also here that FX first came to prominence with his ‘moutons’, life-sized sheep that served as chairs and benches that were soon to be seen flocking together in every fashionable chateau and palace. The first such grouping of sheep were originally titled Pour Polyphème, a typical FX classical reference to the monster Polyphemus from the Odyssey. These sheep were an immediate success, critically and commercially, and still remain undoubtably the best known work by Les Lalanne. This Iolas show in Paris travelled to America but now as an augmented museum exhibition - an immediate coup - at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it received a great deal of attention including a whole article in LIFE magazine. With the beginnings of such success they moved from the ramshackle Impasse Ronsin to find themselves in their own self-created paradise, a series of interlinked farmhouses and gardens in the village of Ury, outside of Fontainebleau. Here Les Lalanne maintained their separate studios as well as a vibrant social life, hosting some of the most soigné soirées of that entire 1970s Parisian high-fashion scene which has now entered into legend. ‘Ury’ became a code word amongst a certain set of international beau monde, a name to be dropped amongst
the highest of haute bohemia and crustiest of gratin; for here one could sit on a ‘Mouton’ sipping ‘Mouton’ with an actual Rothschild Baron. But whilst Les Lalanne were undoubtably good with the preposterously grand and eye wateringly wealthy they were also at their happiest just working every day in the studio and labouring in their gardens for as long as they could. To quote FX, “A house like this shelters all kinds of inhabitants, of which humans are only one, all sharing the same roof, yet each with its completely separate concerns and time scales. A swallow, for example, which spends six months at Ury nesting, will then take off for Aswan or Ouarzazate.” Certainly his own works took off for equally exotic parts, whether his grasshopper bar that was presented to the Duke of Edinburgh by President Pompidou, and still resides in the Royal Collection, his topiary dinos in Santa Monica, his poolside bird-chairs at the Frederick Weisman Art Foundation in Holmby Hills or some giant hippo hidden in a private Chinese collection Over a fifty year career FX devoted himself to constant work, hardly a day was spent outside the studio, as a sculptor who worked on every imaginable scale, from the design of a house to
public art projects, from palace fountains to cuff-links. Nor did FX ever make any distinction between architecture, sculpture, furniture, jewellery, monuments and bibelots, it was all his work and he could not care less how others might care to categorise whatever he had created. There were no hierarchies in the world of Les Lalanne, their own work was in the creation of whatever they so wished, not in naming, defining or judging how it should be perceived. But FX was well aware himself of the historical importance of his artist colleagues, late in his career he created a fountain named in homage to Brancusi and also paid his respects to both him and Max Ernst in creating La Genie de Bellerive, a sort of Brancusi column with a version of an Ernst creature perched on top, like a gathering of friends. Though FX had never lacked for commissions or celebrated collectors and clients, the reputations of Les Lalanne really shifted from a high-society cult into worldwide renown after the success of the Yves St Laurent and Pierre Bergé sale held at Christie’s in Paris in February 2009. This sale marked a distinctive break in the fortunes of Les Lalanne, dividing their early supporters and devotees from the equally rich and famous later converts who, like many

23
converts, were all the more devout. At this sale the results proved unprecedented and altogether dizzying, including $3.5 million for the bar which FX had created for St Laurent himself. And after that the prices just kept on mounting, in 2017 one of FX’s finest works, Les Autruches bar (1967-70) from the Jacques Grange collection selling for a total of 6.2 million euros. But sadly François-Xavier himself was not there to witness such late blooming glory, for he had died just three months before the YSL sale, on the 7th December 2008 at the entirely respectable age of 81. He was at home in his belovèd Ury and left behind a grieving international fan club of admirers, collectors, dealers and devotees, not to mention his daughter Dorothée and widow Claude, who happily lived on for another remarkable and rewarding
“Sometimes I’m asked what I am trying to express. Why, nothing at all! I simply make things because I enjoy making them. Perhaps it’s just a way to recover what was once so prettily termed the ‘ineffable’, precisely that which has no need for words.” – FRANÇOIS-XAVIER LALANNE
decade during which the reputation of her husband and herself continued to soar along with their prices. He also left behind a beautiful house and garden full of his works and a remarkable artistic legacy stretching back to art school in 1948, a very full sixty years of constant creativity. For of course, like any such true artist or artisan, issues of wealth or fame, prices or reputation, could not have meant less to this most sophisticated yet paradoxically simple of craftsmen. As François-Xavier put it himself, “Sometimes I’m asked what I am trying to express. Why, nothing at all! I simply make things because I enjoy making them. Perhaps it’s just a way to recover what was once so prettily termed the ‘ineffable’, precisely that which has no need for words.” •

In the early 2000s, George Rodrigue embraced computer technology and began to create silkscreens that combined his painted images with photography in a collage type construction. Rodrigue wrote, “In creating the Blue Dog silkscreens, I learned things on the computer that I probably otherwise would not have pursued; I altered the traditional methods I’d known for years and now created images specifically with the computer process in mind.” For the backdrop of “Paradise Island” Rodrigue used a photograph he took on his honeymoon in Fiji with his second wife, Wendy Wolfe, in 1997 and then incorporated three painted Blue Dogs. By enhancing the colors digitally, Rodrigue looked to make the image reminiscent of a vintage postcard. Rodrigue created a limited-edition silkscreen of “Paradise Island” and then a one-of-a-kind large silkscreen on metal.

Characterized by clear geometric lines inspired by Palladian architecture, the style is accentuated by elaborate brass stripping and cross hatching as evidenced by the inlaid drawers and tracery on the glass door offered here.

Though both firms supplied large quantities of Jacob-style furniture for the Imperial court, the latter incorporated more elements of the Empire style than the former. Other mahogany cylinder bureaus, bearing similar design and form, are conserved in the formal reception room of the Alexander Palace and Pavlovsk Palace.

On opening it, she was overwhelmed to find a diamond ring, larger than any she had ever seen. This, Jakob told her, was in honor of her courage and fortitude without which, he said, he would not have survived the horrors of recent years. Jakob and Lucja had lived in Lodz, Poland when the Nazis invaded in 1939, and as friends and neighbors were rounded up, a Christian friend offered the couple a hiding place in his small house. For six years, Jakob and Lucja stayed hidden as their beloved city was transformed into a site of brutality, enslavement, and murder. Jakob struggled, certain that each day would be their last with the Nazis finding them. Lucja would not tolerate his fears. They needed to hold out, she told him, to outlive the Nazis, to survive so they could reveal the truth of how their slain neighbors had suffered. The couple emerged from hiding in early 1945 when the Russians liberated Lodz. Jakob and Lucja then headed to England, where their daughter Janina had been working with the Polish Government in Exile during the war. Jakob spent five years building a business, and once he had saved up the money, he told a local jeweler of the time in hiding, and how he wished to express to Lucja how her resilience had helped them both survive. In the end, this is far more than a diamond ring. It is a symbol of one woman’s courage in the face of a world gone mad.

Sarah Lamb favors painting still lives where she explores the different textures of the assembled objects. As a teenager, Lamb attended an exhibition of the paintings in Washington, D.C. devoted to three generations of the Wyeth family artists. The experience was profound and encouraged her to follow the path of an artist. Today, Lamb and her portraitist husband, David Larned, live in Houston and spend summers at their farm in Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Valley, near the studio home of the late N. C. Wyeth.

600 “Carry On The Work Of Huey P. Long And O. K. Allen” 1937/1939, New Orleans, printed by Franklin Printing Co., designer unknown, two-color print with photolithographs, centering a drawing of the Louisiana State Capitol surrounded by statements of Long’s platform (“Full Nine Month School Term - Free School Books - Debt Moratoriums - Tax Exemption on Homes - Expansion of All Universities and Colleges - Free Bridges - Free Poll Tax”, etc.) and photographs of Long and Allen, Senator Allen J. Ellender, Governor Richard W. Leche, Lieutenant Governor Earl K. Long, and other state officers, including Register of State Land Office Lucille May Grace, the first woman elected to statewide office in Louisiana. Glazed and framed. sight 28-1/2” x 22-1/2”, framed 33” x 27” $2,000-$4,000
282
This poster can be dated to no earlier than January 1937, when Ellender was elected to the Senate (succeeding Rose McConnell Long, widow of the assassinated Huey P. Long) and June 1939 when Governor Leche resigned amid scandal and accusations of corruption (succeeded by Long’s brother, Earl Kemp Long). It captures a moment when Long’s Populist machine was foundering without its leader Long (assassinated in 1935) and his proxy Oscar K. Allen (who died of a heart attack in 1936) and struggling to maintain the support of Louisianians who had been hit hard by the Great Depression. Leche had forged an uneasy alliance with Long’s nemesis, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, agreeing to abandon Long’s “Share Our Wealth” programs in return for dropping tax evasion investigations against the machine and returned federal patronage to Louisiana, some of which would be used for the promises offered in this poster, but some of which would line Leche’s pockets, leading to his resignation. The machine would be stalled by anti-Long Governor Sam H. Long and World War II, but Earl K. Long would return to serve three more terms as Governor in the 1940s and 50s.

(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).
Rev. 05/01/22
(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 [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] 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 12% 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 antiterrorism 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. Rev. 05/01/22
(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.
5.Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for NOAG relating to a Lot including without limitation the contents of the Catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of NOAG and shall not be used by the Buyer or Bidder, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. 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.
6. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7. 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). Such information will be processed and kept by us in confidence. Some of Bidders’ personal data may also need to be shared with third party service providers (e.g., shipping or storage companies) for Bidders’ benefit. By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.
8. Law and Jurisdiction The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the Auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Louisiana. By bidding at the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
