letter from the ceo

I

recently read an article about a single mother and well-known Hollywood scriptwriter who decided to take a “yes year,” which meant spending more time with her girls instead of indulging her workaholic tendencies. Those 12 months became a magical, life-changing experience for her family.

After reading this article, I realized I am a “yes person,” sometimes making decisions contrary to logic and, perhaps on an occasion or two, what some might say was good sense.

On the other hand, oh, the adventures and out-of-the-box decorating I have experienced because of that three-letter word.

Just like all of you, I have a great many decorating “yeses” under my belt, some of which worked and some of which should have been a “no.”

One near miss that will forever live in my memory involves a red-lacquered baby grand player piano. My family had just moved to an historic home, and when I saw the brilliantly painted piano, my head was filled with a vision of it on our second floor foyer, playing lovely music that gently coalesced with the conversations and laughter of well-dressed guests sipping glasses of chilled white wine. I was absolutely beguiled with this vision, never mind that the piano would likely not have fit the foyer nor the décor.

In hindsight, it was not so much I wanted to own the piano, it was the dream of who I could be if I owned the piano: a gracious hostess who gave enchanting parties filled with interesting people. Creating images of who we want to be by changing our décor – isn’t that what decorating is all about?

While the red piano did not work out (although, in my mind, I can still hear beautiful music coming from the second floor foyer), there have been other “yeses” – some incredible and even life changing – that did. Buying New Orleans Auction Galleries is definitely one of them. Like that piano, the allure of possibilities, the vision I had for what could be, drew me to it.

We celebrated NOAG’s fourth anniversary in June. And while sitting in the offices of our beautiful new building, which doubled the auction’s size, looking over a floor filled with amazingly fabulous items, I realized it is easy to forget how unlikely NOAG’s current success seemed those first couple of years.

We haven’t done it alone, of course. Thank you to all of our consigners and buyers for joining us in saying yes and making our out-of-this-world optimism a reality. We are deeply grateful for your support in our first four years, as we’ve evolved and found our footing as the South’s premier auction house.

We hope you will continue to be part of NOAG’s journey, beginning with our July auction, featuring five over-the-top estates which will send your imaginations soaring. You have 1,118 “yes” opportunities that have the possibility to make the most mesmeric visions come true. Join us for this exciting sale, Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24. We are cranking up the air and will have your chilled beverage waiting for you!

And don’t forget to say yes to our preview party, Thursday, July 21, beginning at 5 p.m. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

gary baxter webb houston, texas

Born in McAllen, Texas November 5, 1938, Gary Baxter Webb moved to Houston with his family at a young age. He attended Lamar High School, graduating in 1957, followed by a B.A. from Rice University in 1961. After completing his studies at the University of Texas School of Law in 1964, Webb began his legal career with Fulbright & Jaworski, active in insurance defense litigation. He joined the administration of Mayor Fred Hofheinz in 1974 as the Tax Assessor Collector of the City of Houston, returning to private practice in 1977 as a partner of Dudensing & Webb specializing in personal injury litigation. He served on the State Bar’s selection of Harris County grievance committees.

Those who knew Gary remember his unique sense of humor and his consummate storytelling skills. He loved dogs, exotic sports cars, playing poker and bridge with friends, practical jokes, political debates, opera and collecting art. Gary also loved to travel, taking trips all over the world and spending time under the live oaks at his hilltop country retreat in Brenham, Texas and at his home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Gary had a keen eye for collecting and a fondness for Post-Impressionism, filling his home with impressive paintings by artists such Theo van Rysselberghe, Maximilien Luce, Louis Valtat and others. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer paintings from the Estate of Gary Baxter Webb.

Proceeds from the sale of Gary Webb’s art collection will benefit Bering Omega Community Services, Houston, Planned Parenthood of Houston and the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Marjorie Abbey Morrison Hammond, louisiana

Arts patron and philanthropist Marjorie Abbey Morrison was born November 8, 1916 in the Mississippi Delta town of Webb. She was valedictorian of her high school class (All Saints College in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1933), and then earned a B.A. degree from Mary Baldwin College, in Staunton, Virginia (1937). She did post-graduate study at the New York School of Interior Design. Marjorie married a South Louisiana lawyer, James Hobson Morrison on February 14, 1940.

In addition to her family, she also loved the arts. A regular patron of the Louisiana Philharmonic, the New Orleans Ballet, and the New Orleans Opera, she supported the cultural offerings of Hammond's Columbia Theatre. Marjorie frequented the galleries on Royal and Julia Streets. She devoted much of her time promoting arts education in Louisiana's schools. When the State eliminated funding for art education. In 1967, Marjorie, while vice president of the Louisiana Council for Music and the performing Arts, created The Arts Slide Lending Library in cooperation with the State Department of Education to insure that all Louisiana children could receive a weekly art lesson. She was a member of the executive board of the Louisiana State Arts Council and a founder and board member of the Hammond Arts Council now the Hammond Regional Arts Center. She was a charter member of the Alliance for Arts in Education, served on the advisory board of the New Orleans Museum of Art, and was a member of the Louisiana Arts Educator Association.

Her arts advocacy earned recognition from many sources. Marjorie was named a Life Fellow, Royal Society of Arts, London, England.

She was awarded a medal of appreciation from the Louisiana Council for Music and the Performing Arts, an honorary Doctor of Humanities Degree from Southeastern Louisiana University, the Governor's Art Patron of the Year Award, a Medal of Appreciation from Jeunesse d'Orleans in 1997 among others. In 2010 Louisiana Public Broadcasting honored her as 'A Louisiana Legend.'

In Hammond, Mrs. Morrison served on a number of volunteer boards, supported Southeastern Louisiana University's Visual and Performing Arts Department and the University Library. Never just a nominal board member she was an active participant in every project and program. She may well have been the most active patron of the Hammond Branch of the Tangipahoa Parish Library System. In 1983 she was named Hammond's Woman of the Year, by the Hammond Junior Auxiliary. In 1986 she reigned as the first Queen of the Krewe of Omega. She served on the executive board of the Hammond Centennial Commission. Southeastern Louisiana University named her a Golden Ambassador. She was Hammond's "Grand Dame."

Marjorie was also an inveterate world traveler. She read extensively about the places she planned to visit. One companion on a trip to Egypt noted that Marjorie rode a camel in a silk suit with high heels! At age 86 she made a solo trip to Greece and Turkey. At her home, Shadowcreek, in suburban Hammond she lived in the midst of color. Her extensive azalea and camellia gardens bloomed over a period of months each year. She enjoyed her art collection and shared it with guests at lovely small dinner parties. She particularly loved to prepare hors d'oeuvres to be accompanied with well- chilled champagne. Frequently, she supplied her culinary specialties for gallery openings, lectures and post-concert receptions.

A gourmet supper club brought her great pleasure. A few years ago she published a cookbook for family and friends.

Her son Hobby recalled, "She was a glass half full (or mostly full) kind of person. An optimist. She loved flowers, bright colors, classical music and young people.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer property from the Estate of Marjorie Abbey Morrison.

alexander h. pilkington birmingham, alabama

Prominent Birmingham businessman Alexander H. Pilkington (Al) was born December 9, 1935 in Bessemer, Alabama. He worked all through high school, developing a passion for business early. In 1954, Al joined the Navy and was stationed in San Diego. There he married Donna Lee Petsch, and they had two children. During this time, Al and Donna, with help from their family, opened and operated a restaurant in San Diego with much success.

When Donna and Al divorced in the early 1960s, Al relocated to Birmingham, Alabama. Throughout his 50+ years in the Birmingham business community, he successfully operated several businesses including The Gold Torch, Al's Crossroads, and various other businesses in the Lakeview District.

When Al was not working, he enjoyed restoring and decorating his historic home, the Mortimer Jordan House. He purchased the house in 1969, taking great care to restore it to its original glory and decorate it with fine furniture, decorative arts and paintings over the course of the next 50 years.

The house was built in the early 1900s by Dr. Mortimer Harvie Jordan and his wife, Florence E. Mudd. After service in the Confederate Army, Jordan studied medicine in Cincinnati and New York (under Alabama's famous gynecologist, Dr. J. Marion Sims). Dr. Jordan is recognized for his tireless work during the 1873 cholera epidemic. He served on the State Board of Health (1879-83), as president of the State Medical Association (1884) and as Chair of Materia Medica and Theraputics and Clinical Medicine at the Medical College of Alabama at Mobile (1886 for two terms). His wife, Florence Mudd Jordan, was the daugther of Judge William S. Mudd, builder of Arlington Plantation.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer furniture and decorative arts from the Estate of Alexander H. Pilkington.

The collection offered in this sale was an important part of the ambiance that Mr. Pilkington brought back to the Mortimer Jordan House.

166 detail

The first mention of James Stamp is his freedom by redemption to the City of London on May 2, 1764. Freedom of City - which permitted a craftsman to ply his trade in the city - was obtained in three ways: by service (successfully completing an apprenticeship to a master), by patrimony (eligible to sons of freemen, although the father must have been awarded freedom before the child’s birth), and by redemption (upon payment of a fee by a qualified candidate).

His redemption papers note that he was the son of Adam Stamp, cordwainer of London and - given that he evidently learned the goldsmith’s trade somewhere other than London - he may well be the James Stamp, son of Adam Stamp, who was baptized on August 3, 1732 at St. Mary, Tetbury, Gloucester. He entered his first mark on April 18, 1764 in partnership with his soon-to-be brother-in-law John Baker (who married his sister Ann Stamp on July 14, 1765). Stamp and Baker re-entered their mark in 1765 and 1768, their premises on Ludgate Street, and on September 16, 1769, Stamp was married to Frances Fenwick. Shortly afterwards, the Stamp and Baker partnership was dissolved, and although there is no record of Stamp entering a mark until 1774, he was elected a Liveryman of the Company in 1771 and had, by that time, established a workshop at 86 Cheapside. It was, by all evidence, a large and prosperous shop, with Stamp paying duty for three apprentices and entering six marks between 1772 and 1779. He died suddenly on April 11, 1780 in Bath (where he was a councilman); published obituaries and extensive generous bequests in his will show that he was a man of both stature and considerable means. His widow Frances entered a mark on May 12, 1780, but died less than a month later. The couple had no children, and the workshop was succeeded by buckler James Sutton. Although Stamp’s Cheapside workshop was operating for less than a decade, the quality of its output - as evidenced by this handsome urn - ranks him among the most accomplished of Georgian silversmiths.

The date here - September 1848 - is particularly notable, as this was immediately after Torrington’s brutal suppression of the Matale Rebellion: the first major colonial uprising since the Regency.

Indeed, the final rebel leader, Gongalegoda Banda (1809‑1849), was arrested on September 21, 1848 under Torrington’s warrant.

Members would pay a nominal yearly fee to have their names placed into a lottery; those chosen would receive a sculpture, etching, or other work of art, the original of which had been purchased by the Society for the purposes of reproduction and distribution. The large-scale original of the sculpture offered here was a popular subject for the Art Union, and it was reproduced several times by various sculptors associated with the group. The artist of this version, J. A. Hatfield, was listed in the annals of the society as a local agent and honorary secretary.

[5000/8000] Illustrated In 1739, Louis XV commissioned Guillaume Coustou the Elder (1677‑1746) to sculpt monumental marbles to flank the pond in the garden of Chateau Marly, the hunting lodge built by Louis XIV after his conversion of the previous lodge into the Palace of Versailles.

Coustou’s sculptures of horse tamers and their horses were installed in 1745. The artist, surprisingly for the time, dismissed the allegorical, mythological or historical and instead chose to work from nature, observing the interaction and movement of actual trainers and horses.

The sculptures proved immediately popular, and were considered Coustou’s masterpiece. At the height of the Revolution in 1795, at the urging of Jacques-Louis David (1748‑1825), the sculptures were moved to Place de la Revolution (now Place de la Concorde) in Paris, thus saved from the fate of the Chateau which was destroyed by revolutionaries. In 1984, the sculptures were moved a third time, to the Louvre, for conservation and protection and copies put in their place.

Theo van Rysselberg was a talented Belgian NeoImpressionist, who was one of the founding members of the Brussels avant-gard group Les Vingt (The Twenty).

The group, comprised of twenty independent artists, promoted diverse styles that rejected the traditions of the art academies and the Salon which sanctioned them through state funded exhibitions. Instead, they exhibited annually on their own in concert with twenty other invited international artists. Through these exhibitions, van Rysselberghe was introduced to French NeoImpressionism and the divisionist technique of employing dots of pigment and allowing the eye to mix them through

82

a complex understanding of color theory and optics rather than mixing them on the palette. The painting offered in lot 274 is a fine example of his early exploration with divisionism, whereas this oeuvre, painted after he moved to Paris in 1897, shows a far greater command of the technique in the juxtaposition of the mimosas with the complimentary colored decorative background. Though not dated, van Rysselberghe painted three other paintings of mimosas in 1912 that, according to Ronald Feltkamp, are consistent with the style in this one.

Van Rysselberghe was also an avid traveler, very much influenced by the exoticism of the French African colonies and the “Orient”. He traveled to Morocco on three separate occasions, painting this view following his three months sojourn with Edmond Picard in which he accompanied a Belgian economic delegation. Van Rysselberghe, contrary to the Impressionists, seldom painted en plein air while traveling.

He preferred instead to take copious sketches and pictures, and then transform them into paintings once back in Belgium.

The subject in lot 274, “Place Publique de Meknes,” now called La Place Lahdim” is a celebrated public square in Morocco.

Originally built by the Sultan Ismail between 1672-1674, the 200 by 90 meter square connects the ancient part of the city with the newer imperial one.

A sketch of this square, which was likely used in the execution of this painting that shows the Rue a Mequinez from the other side, is conserved at the Musee Royaux des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. As to the inscription ”to my brave friend Heuse”, Heuse remains a mystery. Heuse may have been an attorney by the name of “Paul Heuse” with whom Picard corresponded a few times, but since van Rysselberghe was widely exposed to attorneys and delegates within the international circle of artists and writers he traveled, it could be any Belgian with the name of Heuse.

Born into a family of modest means to a railway clerk and a mother whose family was from peasantry origins, Luce always had a deep predilection for the working class. He began his artistic career as an engraver, before turning to painting full time in 1883, when employment opportunities for engravers became scarce, due to advancements in printmaking. He was introduced to the Neo-Impressionist group by fellow artist Camille Pissarro in 1887, and quickly adopted the Divisionist technique of color application in separate patches or dots, believing it achieved unprecedented luminosity. Luce’s oeuvre, as a 1904 exhibition review in Art et Decoration declared, captures “the immense furnaces that ablaze the night violet; the flames of the street lights and carriages that flicker like stars on the streets; the life and work of the wharfs; London by fog and the Midi engorged by light at midday; these are the spectacles by which Mr. Maximilien Luce is engaged.”

Unlike the Impressionists, who nostalgically depicted a rural agrarian France in the wake of industrial change, Luce embraced it. Machinery, railways, factories and mines consumed his work at the turn of the century; he even made several trips to Belgium to paint the iron/steel plants, mines and blast furnace factories. Luce simultaneously celebrated proletarian toil and recoiled from the brutish

conditions and physique it engendered. Machines, Corina Weidinger writes in her article on images of industry in Luce’s paintings, "were oppressive to workers in capitalism but essential for alleviating hard labor in a utopian anarchist society.” The painting offered here of a lone blacksmith, probably from the working-class faubourgs of Paris, epitomizes Luce’s empathy and ambivalence toward the worker’s plight. Though depicted in a spectacular array of fiery gold and amber that scintillates off the bricks in an unprecedented command of dots that few divisionist artists were able to achieve with flames, the blacksmith with his downcast eyes and powerful arms is still entombed in his own inferno. As Emile Verhaeren wrote in the preface to the catalogue for Luce’s 1909 exhibition at Bernheim Jeune et Cie: “In this way you show us not only with the finery of your colors and lines fragments of the world that beauty appears to banish from its domain, but you also prove a talent as powerful, strong and fierce as you.”

[25000/40000] Illustrated 281

Louis Valtat, the son of a prosperous merchant – who himself had artistic inclinations – spent much of his youth in picturesque Versailles. Accepted at the Ecole des BeauxArts in Paris, he studied under such Academic masters as Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and Gustave Boulanger before entering the Academie Julian in 1891. While at the Academie, he befriended, among others, Edouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard, whose experimentations with a more “modern” approach to painting inspired by the synthetism of Paul Gaugin, were to influence his work.

At the age of 21, Valtat opened his own studio in Paris, where his use of a bold color palette, emphasis of line, and painterly brushstroke resulted in his being associated with the Fauves, following his inclusion in the 1905 Salon d’Automne exhibition where he exhibited alongside Vuillard, Matisse, Derain and Vlamanick. A critic, at the time, denounced the show as an orgy of colors on par with “fauves”- wild beasts. Taking their lead from the pioneers of Post-Impressionism- van Gogh, Gaugin and ToulouseLautrec, the “Fauves” privileged emotive and symbolic applications of color over purely optical ones as Monet and the Impressionists did.

Their art was also equally influenced by the wide black lines employed in Japanese woodblocks (which ToulouseLautrec adopted in his lithographs) and decorative artsnamely tapestries. In 1894, Valtat collaborated with Toulouse-Lautrec and Albert Andre (see lot 280) to create the décor for the Theatre de l’ OEuvre- an experimental theater in Paris founded by the Symbolists.

The work presented here is a wonderful example of the Fauvist stlye at its most accomplished and successful. In the mid-1920s, at the same time Valtat created several paintings of women at the theater that are strikingly similar to this one, he was also actively engaged as a draftsman/ designer for the tapestry manufacturer Beauvais. In this painting, the women at the theatre are a fantastic swirl of bold colors uncontained in any illusion of pictorial space; the foreground and background effortlessly blend into a rich pattern. The figures, neatly delineated by thick black lines into swatches of color, recall tapestry drawings and maquettes. This painting’s seemingly simplistic “wild” design bellies its compositional complexity as a masterpiece of avant-garde and decorative art.

[40000/70000] Illustrated This rare “trois corps” bureau bookcase exemplifies the Russian “Jacob” style as it closely relates to examples illustrated in Antoine Cheneviere’s Russian Furniture, (2001), 33. 124‑126. 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. This piece, clearly influenced by Roetengen, is more likely attributed to the workshop of Christian Meyer than Gambs and Ott. 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.

552 Circle of Francois Boucher (French, 1703‑1770), “Reclining Female Nude”, sanguine charcoal on paper, verso with a graphite drawing of a village, 7‑1/4” x 9”.

Glazed, matted and framed. [4000/7000] Illustrated Though Francois Boucher tends to use the cross-hatching technique to designate depth cast by recessed areas and shadows, he is also a master of directional line drawing when it comes to studies of nudes in the charcoal medium.

The work offered here is a fine example of the latter technique that uses the quality of the line (thick and dark as opposed to thin and light) to depict value change. This beautiful study resembles the composition and strong diagonal lines Boucher employed. By contrast, the drawing on the reverse of the village, whose background is lightly rendered with soft graphite through tonal values instead of lines, is more consistent with the sketches of Boucher’s student and fellow colleague Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732‑1806).

Provenance: Purchased in China in the 1920s by Lene Schneider-Kainer (1885‑1971), Vienna, Austria and New York, New York; by descent to present consignor. [12000/18000] Illustrated In 1926, the artist Lene Schneider-Kainer embarked on a twoyear journey to India, Russia and Asia. Accompanied by the poet Bernhard Kellerman (1879‑1951), the trip was sponsored by the German journal Berliner Tageblatt (published from 1872‑1939) and was to follow the presumed route taken by explorer Marco Polo to China. Kellerman supplied the documentary text while Schneider-Kainer produced sketches, paintings and photographs of the journey. While many of the photographs have been lost, almost 100 watercolors are conserved in the Leo Baeck Institute Art Collection in New York and Berlin. It was an unusual, dangerous, and somewhat daring trip for a woman to make and Schneider-Kainer kept a journal of her experiences and reactions; a portion of the diary has been translated into English by Ruth Heimann and Irene Miller and is available online. Schneider-Kainer’s collection of Asian art, acquired during this journey, was exhibited in 1949 at The Brooklyn Museum and The Asian Institute, New York, New York. In 1933, after Hitler’s rise to power, Schneider-Kainer emigrated to Ibiza, Spain where she remained until her home was bombed during the Spanish Civil War. In 1938 she moved to New York, where she produced children’s books under the name Eleska.

Baxter was born in Hyannis, Massachusetts and, under the sponsorship of Governor William Sprague, received his training in Europe, first at the South Kensington School of the Royal College of Art in London and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Despite his rigorous Academic training, Baxter preferred a more plein air approach to painting. Upon completion of his studies he traveled across Italy and France, sketching and painting on site. He eventually settled in Rhode Island and opened studios in Newport and Providence. A member of the Boston Art Club, the Providence Art Club and the Newport Art Association, Baxter was also an early supporter of the Rhode Island School of Design, which has three of his paintings in their archives. Few works by Baxter remain since a devastating studio fire destroyed almost his entire life’s work.

At the time, portraiture was paramount, and no real interest had ever been paid to Southern scenery. Though he was academically trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in France, Clague was most influenced by the plein-air realism of the Barbizon School painters, who painted the peasantry and the environs of the Fontainebleau forest in situ. As Gustave Courbet, the “father” of French realism and a contemporary of Clague, once said in mocking jest of the art academies, “Show me an angel and I will paint it.”

Similarly, Clague focused on the world before him, turning rustic mundane scenes into pastorals that celebrate the subtropical climate.

In the painting offered here, Clague uses light to capture the quiet reprieve from a hot summer’s day; the burnt umber of the shade beneath the tree where the goats rest is juxtaposed by the sundrenched path packed down by wagon tracks, and the reflections of the trees on the surface of the water are so pristine, Clague is able to capture just how stagnate the water on a bayou or river bank can be.

This painting uses goats at rest to celebrate a Louisiana summer day in a setting so prosaic that it could be found on almost any settlement, farm or plantation in the area. Indeed, it could even be from the Gibert property on the Bogue Falaya River in St. Tammany Parish where the painting hung for almost a century before it was displayed at Clague’s retrospective.

907 William Henry Buck (Norwegian/New Orleans, 1840‑1888), “Swamp Scene in Louisiana”, 1865, oil on board, signed “Wilhelm H. Buck”, titled and dated in pencil en verso, with remnants of a label, 8‑3/4” x 13”.

Framed. Provenance: Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana. [15000/25000] Illustrated

This swamp scene is one of the oldest known Louisiana landscapes by William H. Buck. Richard Anthony Lewis, curator at the Louisiana State Museum, writes in his entry for KNOWLA, Encyclopedia of Louisiana Artists that Buck arrived in New Orleans in 1870. The Encyclopedia of New Orleans Artists, produced by the Historic New Orleans Collection, states that he probably came to New Orleans ca. 1860, but was not active (as an artist) until 1869+, which certainly corresponds with the earliest mention of Buck in periodicals. Little is known of Buck’s whereabouts during this near decade interim other than he was registered as a clerk and commissions merchant in the New Orleans cotton industry, before training under Richard Clague in the 1870s and early 1880s. The inscription on the back of this painting, written in the artist’s characteristic tightly looped penmanship, in which he signed his name “Wilhelm” instead of William, suggests that he was actively painting the environs, and likely so in plein air within months or years of arriving here.

244

The ethereal atmospheric lighting (typically achieved through reverse lighting) that offset Buck’s monumental live oaks in subtropical landscapes is typically attributed to his studies with Clague, who was trained in the French Barbizon School tradition. However, this painting, with its dark fore and middle ground of flora evenly lit from behind, suggests a nascent exposure to Barbizon art that precedes his tenure with Clague. Was Buck exposed to it in New York through Ernest Ciceri, with whom he briefly trained before coming to New Orleans, or was he looking at Clague, and other French inspired landscapes of Louisiana that dealers such as W. E. Seebold exhibited? While this painting is but a mere vignette in the artist’s career of work, it is a rare piece that merits further research as it sheds light on periods in the artist’s life so far unknown, and gives viewers and scholars alike another glimpse into the history of Louisiana landscapes during the American Civil War.

The firm of S. & B. Brower of Albany, New York, established their New Orleans branch at 17 Camp Street in 1833. Brothers Sidney (often erroneously given as Samuel) and Baldwin Brower were born in New York to Anthony Post Brower and his wife Louisa Gardiner on December 18, 1806 and December 25, 1810, respectively. There is no record of their apprenticeship or training, but it is to be noted that their maternal uncles were the talented silversmiths Sidney (1787‑1827) and Baldwin Gardiner (1791‑1868) of the celebrated Philadelphia firm of Fletcher & Gardiner. The Mid-Atlantic neoclassical influence is readily apparent in the present lot, which appealed to the “American” immigrants to New Orleans which arrived in great number between the Battle of New Orleans and the Civil War. Sidney Brower died on January 26, 1836, and the firm was reorganized in 1842 as B. Brower & Co. with another brother George Clinton Brower (1816‑1864), by which time the company was no longer a manufacturer, but primarily an importer and retailer of fancy goods. Baldwin Brower died (on a visit to Palermo, Sicily) on February 15, 1845, and his interest in the company was retained by his widow Elizabeth Barker Brower and (later) her second husband, William T. VanZandt until its dissolution in 1855. A pair of pitchers, each nearly identical to the present lot, was exhibited at the seminal 1980 “Crescent City Silver” exhibition at the Historic New Orleans Collection and LSU Anglo-American Art Museum, and again in 1997 at Longue Vue House and Gardens, New Orleans, Louisiana.

The railroad was of strategic importance during the Civil War, transporting both troops and supplies. Upon his departure from P.W.B.R.R. in 1865 to become president of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, Felton was the recipient of numerous public gifts in recognition of the accomplishments of his railroad, which is today still part of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor.

[9000/12000] Illustrated

971 “Bayou Bridge”, probably from the environs of Bayou Teche, is one of Clarence Millet’s most iconic scenes of Louisiana landscapes, architecture and lighting that critics have lauded since the 1930s. The painting appears to have been exhibited at Millet’s 1936 solo exhibition at the Delgado Museum (now NOMA), and it was prominently displayed at his posthumous memorial exhibition in 1963 at the LSU library. The news correspondent for the Baton Rouge Advocate wrote that in “Bayou Bridge” “each detail of the painting accentuates the picture... the approaching storm affects everything.” Critic Carter Stevens elaborated: “Millet is closer to the wellspring of the Louisiana scene than any other artists’ works... He must have absorbed all the sense and color of the earth, plant growth, tree forms and sky as a growing boy.” These critics’ sentiments were so widespread that Millet created both woodblock and aquatint etching prints of “Bayou Bridge” that he sold and publicly displayed throughout

the early 1940s with the New Orleans Arts League and Louisiana Art Commission. Demand for this work may have also led to additional painting commissions of it, as there are two other known paintings of the bridge. The one in the Roger H. Ogden Collection, although substantially larger, is nearly identical to the one offered here. The angle of the bridge and shape of the clouds on the right are slightly different in the Ogden painting, and there are no birds flying in the sky. Otherwise, they are twin compositions that beg the questions, which came first, and which ones were exhibited where? Indeed, their history is as elusive and timeless as the famed “Bayou Bridge” that could be any small bridge in Louisiana.

A native of Berlin, Turgel and her husband Siegfried were closely associated with the artistic community which flourished in that city in the 20s and early 30s. In 1933, concerned with the political situation in Germany, the couple fled to France where they lived for the remainder of their lives. A painter and sculptor, Turgel produced silver foil animals which were the prototypes for her cast bronze figures. An early photograph shows the foil figures set against a plain backdrop which slightly distorts their shadows, creating an almost surreal circus.

The works presented here, one of which is stamped Berlin, can be dated to before she left Germany.

A friend of many of the influential artists of the time, Turgel was often the subject of their work.

The great Expressionist Emil Nolde (1867‑1956) painted several portraits of her, including one dated 1930 which he inscribed “Strangely Beautiful Woman”. The 1931 photo of Turgel by Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898‑1995) reveals a woman with an intense, penetrating gaze. Little is known of Turgel once she left Germany.

Conditions of Sale: ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. PLEASE SEE SECTION 2(a) BELOW IN WHICH ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS) ARE WAIVED.

1. Introduction (a). These Conditions of Sale (“Conditions of Sale”) contain all the terms governing Auctions (defined below) conducted by Cakebread Art Antiques Collectables, Inc. d/b/a New Orleans Auction Galleries (“NOAG”), and all the terms under which NOAG and the Seller (defined below) of a Lot (defined below) contract with the Buyer (defined below).

These Conditions of Sale may be amended by posted notices or oral announcements made during the Auction. (b). Under these Conditions of Sale, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows: • An “Auction” is a public auction conducted by NOAG, at which Bidders may place Bids to purchase one or more Lots offered for sale by NOAG. An Auction takes place over one or more days and includes separate auctions of one or more Lots within an event conducted by NOAG; • The “Auctioneer” is the auctioneer calling the Auction conducted by NOAG; A “Bid” is a bid made by a party at the Auction to purchase a Lot; • A “Bidder” is (i) a person making a Bid at the Auction (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); and/or (ii) a person who attends the Auction and registers to make a Bid (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); • A “Buyer” is the party that commits to purchase a Lot by submitting the Winning Bid at Auction; • “Buyer’s Premium” is defined in Section 4 below; • “Catalogue” is the Auction catalogue utilized by NOAG to list the Lots offered at Auction; • The “Estimates” are the high and low estimates of value for each Lot set forth in the Catalogue presented by NOAG in connection with the Auction or otherwise set forth and/or announced at the Auction; • The “Hammer Price” for a Lot is the amount of the Winning Bid at the Auction, as announced by the Auctioneer, exclusive of commissions, Buyer’s Premium, expenses, and any taxes or other charges; • A “Lot” is specific item of property offered for sale at Auction; The “Reserve” is defined in Section 3 below; • The “Purchase Price” is defined in Section 4 below; A “Sale” of a Lot occurs when a Winning Bid is declared at Auction for the Lot; • The “Seller” of a Lot is the party who consigned the Lot with NOAG for purposes of selling the Lot, or is otherwise the seller of the Lot; • The “Winning Bid” is, as to a particular Lot, the Bid recognized by the Auctioneer as the highest and best Bid for that Lot.

(c). Except as otherwise stated, NOAG acts as consignment agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the Lot is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. (d). By bidding at the Auction as a Bidder or Buyer, and/or by your signature below, you agree to be bound by these terms.

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

No statement in the Catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. (v) No warranty of peaceful possession, etc. The following warranties are waived and excluded: the absence of hidden defects, peaceful possession, and ownership. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty that the Lot is free from hidden defects, or for peaceful possession, or for ownership. (vi) No other warranties. None of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). Examination of property / Condition Reports. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that NOAG produce a Condition Report (“Condition Report”) for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed

by NOAG’s staff. NOAG reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in NOAG’s sole discretion.

(c). Catalogue and other descriptions. (i) All statements made by NOAG as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalogue entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/ or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. (iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price. (iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.

3. At the Auction (a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG; (ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment (iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and (v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion. (c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids. (i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.)

All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).

(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith.

(d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors.

NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). Auctioneer’s discretion. The Auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive.

Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer.

Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j).

NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.

4. After the Auction (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction.

Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.

(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly.

All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs; (x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids; (xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller

If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved. (i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.
