LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF FINE ART
Ever since I was a high school student, I knew I wanted to work in an auction house. I am not even sure how the idea rooted itself, but I was adamant about this. As an exchange student, I spent a year in London studying at Christie’s Education. London to me was a magical city, a sort of cultural Disney World. During my year there I explored every corner of almost every neighborhood and museum, but some of the fondest memories of my time there were of walking through Richmond Park on early spring mornings, the air crisp and heady with scents of fields and verdant woods waking after the cold winter months, flashes of deer running in the distance. It is this London I loved the most: the ability to turn a corner and quiet your own thoughts in a garden or a park, away from the streets that were forever pulsating with noises of buses, taxis, tourists, and the city’s inhabitants going about their busy lives. This experience is much akin to looking at a beautifully executed landscape, be it one of the Seine river gently rolling through a French countryside by an Impressionist such as Albert Lebourg, or of a New England valley, executed in large plains of color by Wolf Kahn, or a rare view into Louisiana marshes and prairies by 20th-century master Elemore Morgan, Jr. I returned to London recently to attend the Global Auction Summit and I got to revisit some of my old stomping grounds, as well as explore new sights. One of the most memorable visits was to the Wallace Collection, a place I never had the chance to visit during my student days. With only two hours left before we had to head to the airport, my colleague Taylor and I frantically ran to the museum from our hotel, drenched by the persistent London drizzle. Walking into the large townhome, with its rather austere exterior
contrasting sharply with the lavish rooms, was much akin to my garden detours as a student: a sanctuary amidst an ordinary life. We were lost in the gilded and crimson world of the house that was a home to five generations of one of Europe’s wealthiest families, the Marquesses of Hertford, who filled it with some of the finest examples of French and English 18th- and 19th-century fine and decorative arts and furniture. The experience was made even more fascinating by the fact that I felt almost an interloper, as the collection is a very personal one, amassed by various members of the family over a long period of time. The visit became a respite from the chaotic morning and the feeling stayed with me beyond the few hours I was there. Returning home from a trip that is enriching can be at once both inspiring and frustrating. For me there is a long process of adjusting and then looking for ways to use the new knowledge for changes necessary in order to keep growing as a mother, wife, employee and colleague. I hope that the following pages, filled with artwork representing many art movements, from Old Master prints to large-scale contemporary canvases, will provide you with an escape from everyday life. See you at the auction,
Jelena James Director of Fine Art

1 Circle of Bartolome Esteban Murillo (Spanish, 1617-1682) “Christ as Savior of the World” oil on canvas unsigned; accompanied by a letter from Frederick B. Anthon, restorer for the Los Angeles County Museum, dated 1962, attributing the work to Juan de Valdes-Leal for a donation to the Immaculate Heart School. Framed. 41-3/8” x 31-1/2”, framed 51-3/4” x 44” Provenance: Frederick B. Anthon, restorer for the Los Angeles County Museum, Westside Studio, Los Angeles, California, 1962; Immaculate Heart School, Hollywood, California (donation); Market Street Antiques, North Long Beach, California, 1966; Edward and Mary Welch, Long Beach, California, thence by descent; Private collection, Chicago, Illinois. $7,000-$10,000
This fine portrait is more closely associated with the work of Bartolome Esteban Murillo than with his contemporary and close associate Juan de Valdes Leal, even though the influence of both is present. In 1962, Frederick Anthon, head conservator for the Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA), restored, cleaned and attributed this work to Valdes Leal in his letter of donation to the Immaculate Heart School without clarifying why. Was the attribution made prior to his handling of it? Was it stylistically different enough to support the hand of his colleague or one of their collective students? Both Murillo and Valdes Leal were from Seville, a major 17th-century port with a bustling art scene that exposed the young artists to the Flemish and Venetian masters. Both artists apprenticed under the same family- Murillo with Juan del Castillo in Seville and Valdes Leal with his nephew Antonio in Cordoba. Both were instructed in the style of Zurbaran and Velazquez. Their works continued to overlap throughout their careers- they collaborated on and/or competed against each other for Church commissions and co-founded the Seville Academy of Fine Art with Franciso de Herrera el Mozo in 1656. Though they drew upon the same corpus of work, stylistically they do differ. Valdes Leal focused on the lives of Saints and redefined the Dutch vanitas into somber, even macabre, Spanish Catholic martyr scenes with memento mori that advocated "finis gloriae mundi" (end of world glories). Valdes Leal's paintings are typically more Spanish with greater influence drawn from Zubaran’s dramatic lighting and the elongated tortuous bodies, redolent of El Greco. Furthermore, the focus is rarely on the psychology or the humanism of the subjects/saints, but rather their sacrifice/martyrdom for the greater good of Christendom. While the saturation of the red robe and the extreme use of chiaroscuro and tenebrism (that spotlight the right side of Christ’s
face against a near featureless background in this painting) are characteristic of the lasting influence Zubaran had on Valdes Leal’s oeuvre, the soft luminosity and modelling of the face engenders a humanistic focus on Christ more indicative of Murillo, and the numerous depictions of “Christ, Savior of the World” (with the orb and raised hand), better known in Latin as “Salvator Mundi”, Murillo executed. According to the Getty Provenance Index Search, twentytwo depictions of “Salvator Mundi” by “Murillo” were sold at auction between 1771 and 1839. This painting resembles the following descriptions: the 1771 sale by Skinner and Dyke of works from the collection of Charles Alexandre de Calonne (though no measurements were given); and, it resembles the lengthy description of the “Salvator Mundi” from the catalogue of Charles O’Neil, Esq. sold through Foster in 1834 (though the measurements do not match). The depiction of Christ in this lot is characteristic of Murillo’s depictions of Christ, notably “St. John the Baptist Pointing to Christ”, 1655, (conserved in the Art Institute of Chicago), and the study for that painting, “Head of Christ”, which sold at Sotheby’s, New York, January, 26, 2006, lot 299. See also “Christ Carrying the Cross”, (LAM) no. 575, in Diego Angulo Iniguez, Murillo (1982), of which a copy (from the Circle of Murillo) was sold through Humrich Fine Art. In each of these works Christ is distinctly portrayed with the same ovoid shaped head, prominent forehead, deep set round dark eyes and narrow aquiline nose that slightly hooks the tip/columella over the nostril. Murillo also employed similar oval formats in his paintings and similar sized canvases. As these works clearly demonstrate, particularly the Humrich, this painting is from the circle of Murillo and belongs to same canon of Spanish Baroque art that Murillo and Valdes Leal created together in Seville.

The sitter of this portrait, William Pulteney, was from an illustrious political family and, before his untimely death from fever, there were expectations that he would surpass his relatives in position and glory. Before the age of 30, Pulteney had twice been a Member of Parliament, achieved the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the British Army, was named a Lord of the Bedchamber, and was the Aide de Camp to King George III. It is documented that the prodigious Sir Joshua Reynolds was commissioned to paint several portraits of the young man, including one where he is posed with his beloved hunting dog. A portrait of Pulteney by Reynolds is conserved at the Cincinnati Art Museum in Ohio.

Born into a peasant farming family deep in the Black Forest region of Germany, Winterhalter’s prodigious natural artistic ability caught the attention of the village priest, who encouraged the young boy and helped him gain the patronage of a local baron. He began his official studies at a neighboring monastery; from there Winterhalter made his way to the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste Munich, where he studied under Peter von Cornelius and Joseph Stieler, eventually ending up in France. Initially acclaimed for his meticulously composed grand historicizing scenes, which received much attention at the Paris Salon, Winterhalter soon began accepting portrait commissions. He was eventually named Court painter to King Louis Philippe of France, a position which accorded him great financial stability, if also the disdain of critics who deemed portraiture an inferior genre for the academically trained artist. In 1842, Winterhalter made his first trip to England, where he painted Queen Victoria; from 1842-1873, he was to produce well over a hundred portraits of the British Royal family. Winterhalter’s portraits are distinguished by their deft intermingling of artistic idealization with the easily identified features and personality of the specific sitter/s. Artifice and theatricality are allowed, but only inasmuch as they enhance the sitter’s perception of his or herself; it is as if Winterhalter has painted them on their best day.

Literature: Patrick Offenstadt, Jean Beraud, 1849-1935: The Belle Epoque, a Dream of Times Gone By, Catalogue Raisonne. (Paris: Wildenstein Institute, 1999), no. 425, ill. 300.
Meet the victor in black, Julie D’Aubigny, aka La Maupin, the famed 17th century opera singer, fencer and femmefatale seductress of men and women alike. She is reputed to have slain ten men and ravished sisters in a convent under the guise of a nun. Even in death, she turned heads, inspiring numerous portrayals centuries later. Bewitched, Beraud devoted at least four small paintings on panel to this redheaded vixen, rendered in the same dashing black velvet suit, her tresses crimped and well-coiffed, and a red heart affixed to the breast of her white chemise. In the other paintings, she makes a solo appearance, coyly standing or reclining on a sofa; each time with a sly seductive smile and a sword poised in hand. In this rare depiction, D’Aubigny is captured in action as she bows gracefully to her conquestperhaps 'Fanchon' Moreau, another soprano and favorite mistress of both D’Aubigny and the great Dauphin of France.

Goodall was an accomplished, popular, and financially successful artist - and already an associate of the prestigious Royal Academy - when he accompanied a group of friends to Egypt in 1858. This trip was to have a profound influence on the artist. The East, with its unique culture and sun-drenched landscapes infused in vibrant tones of golds and reds, was to dominate his work for the remainder of his life. The Fine Art Society, New Bond Street, London, held a solo exhibition of Goodall’s Egyptian sketches and paintings in February of 1894. A painting with the same name as the one presented here was listed in the catalogue for that exhibition.

$6,000-$9,000 Frishmuth was born into an affluent Philadelphia family, which afforded her the opportunity to travel and study in Europe. An academically trained sculptor, she had - somewhat unusually - as thorough and complete an education as any male sculptor of the time; she attended classes in Paris with Auguste Rodin, studied with Jean Antoine Injalbert at the Academie Colarossi, and worked with Cuno von Uechtritz-Steinkirch at the Berlin Academy of Arts. Her first exhibition was a plaster bust at the Paris Salon of 1903. Upon her return to the U.S., she attended the Art Students League and took anatomy/dissection classes at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. She began her sculptural career by producing small, decorative objects, which were well received and soon garnered her considerable attention. In 1912, she took part in an exhibition of women sculptors in New York; by the following year, she had her own studio. While the commissions she received were initially diverse in subject, Frishmuth preferred to create bronzes of idealized female nudes. Her most successful works were those that depicted the female figure as active and powerful, with sinuous, flowing lines and smooth surfaces.
The inspiration of the sculpture offered here was the Yugoslav-born dancer Desha Delteil (1899-1980). Delteil first posed for Frishmuth in 1916, when she was 19 years old. For Frishmuth, Delteil’s elegant, well-proportioned figure, combined with her ability to maintain difficult poses for a lengthy period of time, made the dancer an ideal model. The gracefully athletic young woman was to pose for nearly all of Frishmuth’s most successful and wellknown works. Frishmuth was elected to the National Academy of Design, becoming a full Academician in 1929. Her papers are conserved at the Department of Special Collections, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York.

Lilya Brik was a complex and somewhat inscrutable figure of early 20th century Russian avant-garde culture, noted for her intelligence and passion for the arts. Her wide social circle included Feodor Chaliapin, Boris Pasternak, Sergei Eisenstein, and Pablo Picasso. Born into a wealthy Jewish family, she and her sister, the writer Elsa Triolet, were celebrated beauties; their portraits were painted by such luminaries as David Burliuk, Fernand Leger, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall, and Brik’s image was on many popular posters and magazine covers of the time. She acted in and eventually directed several early Soviet films. Married at age 20 to the writer Osip Brik, Brik later had a fiery and lengthy relationship (with her husband’s knowledge) with the melancholic poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, who dedicated much of his work to her. After her divorce from Brik, she married General Vitaly Primakov – he was eventually executed during the Moscow Trials. In 1938 she married for the third and final time to the writer Vasily Katanyan. In 1978, after suffering a debilitating illness, Brik decided to end her life – a fitting end to a woman determined to live life on her own terms.

Albert Bierstadt, a native of Germany, who emigrated to the United States at a young age with his family, was the most famous and financially successful American Romantic landscape painter of his time. He exhibited annually at the National Academy of Design in New York, and was an advocate of the Hudson River School’s study of outdoor atmospheric lighting. In the 1860s and 1870s, his works earned the highest prices achieved by an American artist. U.S. Congress even allocated $20,000 for one of his paintings. His epic terrains, with dramatic and diffuse lighting, captivated the imagination of 19th-century collectors, because he depicted the rugged American mountains, coasts, frontiers and pastures through the rosy tinted lens of “romantic pantheism.” For Bierstadt, the landscape was a sublime experience; it was a reflection of God’s creation, and it was a medium for spiritual transcendence that both sanctioned and abated manifest destiny. Though well known for his monumental scenes of the Rocky Mountains and Western frontier, Bierstadt also produced an impressive body of smaller, intimate landscapes of the northeastern United States, which equally attract collectors through their command of soft ethereal lighting. This plein-air study of the Passaic River is another vignette in the annals of this master narrative; it is a tour-de-force of luminist lighting, deftly conveyed through a cool autumn morning in which the mist subtly lifts from the water, and obfuscates all the brushstrokes like a veritable wash, blending the colors and tones into hazy forms that convey the reflective tranquility of their setting.

"People who have seen a Blue Dog painting always remember it... They are really about life, about mankind searching for answers. The dog never changes position. He just stares at you. And you’re looking at him, looking for some answers, “Why are we here?” and he’s just looking back at you, wondering the same. The dog doesn’t know. You can see this longing in his eyes, this longing for love, answers... It’s not just a dog... but a dog trapped in that same uncertainty all people feel. And no matter how many landscapes the dog travels to, its expression never changes." --George Rodrigue New York Times, September 16, 1998
The Blue Dog came into being when the artist was commissioned to complete a series of illustrations for a book on Cajun myths and lore. While working on the image to accompany the legend of the loup-garou - a were-dog who roams the swamps and forests of Louisiana - Rodrigue was inspired by the memory of his beloved dog Tiffany. This energetic black and white terrier was transformed into the iconic blue-furred, yellow-eyed dog. Included in the monumental retrospective exhibition, Rodrigue’s Louisiana: Cajuns, Blue Dogs, and Beyond Katrina held at the New Orleans Museum of Art in 2008, the painting presented here deftly and effectively combines two of the artist’s most beloved themes - the Blue Dog and the lush Louisiana landscape. Here, the enigmatic Blue Dog encompasses almost the entirety of the foreground, unflinchingly gazing directly at the viewer, flanked by two majestic oak trees.

In 1969, Amaya was named a professor of the school, a position he held for many years. His sculptures, with their slightly abstracted solid limbs and exaggerated curves, are explorations of the dignity and power of the female form. Amaya’s artistic approach incorporates his strict academic training, his appreciation for the artifacts of his native region, and his respect for his subjects. 203

227 Elemore Madison Morgan, Jr. (American/Louisiana, 1931-2008) “Linear Landscape”, 1997 acrylic on masonite monogramed lower right, signed, titled and dated en verso. Unframed. 36” x 72” Provenance: Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana. $30,000-$50,000
One of the South’s preeminent landscape painters, Elemore Morgan, Jr.’s depictions of his native Louisiana prairies and marshes have been widely exhibited both nationally and internationally. With his gestural style employing bright colors, reminiscent of the French fauvists, he lovingly painted the expansive rural landscape with its massive ever-changing skies.It was during a childhood spent on his grandfather’s vast farm outside of Baton Rouge, that Elemore’s appreciation of nature was born and this would later become crucial in shaping his art. He was truly a plein-air artist, using a studio mainly to store the many-shaped panels and painting supplies. It is perhaps his generous spirit for which he is most remembered; when he wasn’t painting in the great outdoors, he was helping others with their artistic work and exhibits, as well as managing his father’s (Elemore Morgan, Sr.) photographic negatives and prints that were constantly in demand.

228 Wolf Kahn (German/New York, b. 1927) “Valley of the Connecticut River at Northfield, Massachusetts,” 1982 oil on canvas signed lower center, handwritten title, date, and “Meredith Long, Houston, Texas” label with artist and title en verso. Framed. 53” x 74”, framed 54-1/2” x 75-1/2” Provenance: Estate of Margaret “Pat” Breen, Houston, Texas. $30,000-$50,000 I encountered Wolf Kahn’s paintings for the first time by total chance, while vacationing in Southwest New Hampshire. One day, we took a day trip to Brattleboro, Vermont and in the historic Union train station, we happened upon an exhibition of his large-scale landscapes. Both my husband and I stood in the middle of that quaint space, mesmerized by the swirling, sun-drenched colors and my mind, searching for familiarity and connections to art movements, was immediately drawing parallels with such great Abstract Expressionists as Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, though the colors and shapes were arranged in such a way that you recognized the New England landscape in every canvas, some dominated by barns and some without any human interference.
144
228
This particular vision of the landscape genre was to my eyes something entirely unique, teetering on the edge between abstraction and representation. One could say that Kahn’s work is a synthesis of his abstract training by Hans Hoffman, influences of Old Master painters Titian and Rembrandt, as well as the Post-Impressionism of Matisse. In an interview given in 2014 for Hyperallergic, John Seed questions Kahn’s consistent devotion to representational art, although his lifelong connection has been to many abstract painters, both through his teachers and his wife, the artist Emily Mason, who herself was a daughter of the first generation Abstract Expressionist painter Alice Trumbull Waters. Wolf Kahn’s response was to quote his teacher/mentor Hans Hoffmann, “There is no such thing as representational painting and abstract painting: there is only intelligent painting and stupid painting.” Wolf Kahn’s painting is most certainly intelligent, with the clever use of bands of expressive, vibrant color arranged in compositions that draw in the viewer, basking in the fields of light. --Jelena James Director of Fine Art New Orleans Auction Galleries

229 Franklin Carmichael (Ontario/Canada, 1890-1945) “Port Coldwell, Lake Superior”, 1928 oil on board titled, dated “1928” and certified by hand by Ada L. Carmichael, and bearing Heffel Fine Art Auction House stamps. Framed. 10” x 12”, framed 16” x 18” Provenance: Acquired directly from the estate of the artist by John Goldie Breckenridge, Toronto; Estate of Mary Breckenridge; Heffel Fine Art Auction House, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, November 25, 2010, lot 122; Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana. Literature: Megan Bice, Light & Shadow: The Work of Franklin Carmichael, 1990, p. 48. $150,000-$250,000 Franklin Carmichael, a pioneering Canadian artist of the early 20th century, redefined the rugged Northwestern territories in a distinctly native and modern genre. Along with six other artists- A.Y. Jackson, Lawren Harris, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, Frank Johnston and J. E. H. MacDonald, he formed the Group of Seven, an important brotherhood of Canadian landscape artists, who repudiated British and European models, seeking inspiration instead from outlier Scandinavian landscapes and popular North American theories concerning the spiritual (transcendentalism and theosophy). According to Harris, after painting in Europe “where everything was mellowed by time and human associations, [he] found it a problem to paint a country in outward appearance pretty much as it had been when Champlain passed through its thousands of rock islands three hundred years before.” The sheer expanse of the rugged bluffs, falls and uncharted waters coupled with the extremities in lighting, northern lights and temperature were foremost felt; the experience cathartic and sublime with fear on exalting par with awe- fear of being stranded on a frozen lake or tundra miles from civilization.
146
To truly capture that sensation was beyond representation as defined by the landscape traditions of the academies; Carmichael and the Group of Seven were avant-garde in their approach: they collapsed foreground and background. As seen here in this superb study of Port Coldwell, roiling skies and undulating hills, rendered through a tertiary and redactive palette, blur celestial and terrestrial boundaries, creating a hauntingly beautiful scene that is austere and yet disquieting in its arrested movement. Port Coldwell was an epicenter for the Group of Seven, a wellspring of inspiration, much like Walden Pond was for their American cousins. Between 1920 and 1928, they frequented it often. Its remoteness spellbound them- a community of five homes centered around an ice house with no infrastructure or roads. The steep grade of the hills on the northern shore of Lake Superior made it impassable by rail. With much coercion from the artists, the conductor would slow the train to 25 mph so they could jump from the railcar. The painting offered exemplifies Carmichael’s daring leap to push compositional boundaries in search of an art emblematic of the Northern Canadian territories.

As part of the Washington Color Painters group that exhibited together in 1965 at the Washington DC Gallery of Modern Art, Thomas Downing is known for his manipulation of acrylic paint on unprimed canvases. His primary concern was color, arranging seemingly simple geometric shapes, in order to create intriguing optical color contrasts. Circles, according to Downing, were one of the most effective geometric shapes to hold color.

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.

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. 01/04/17
(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 - note that there is no discount for LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable bidders) 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.

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. 01/04/17
(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.
