Estate of Diana Stuart Dymond Earhart, Including Items from Belair Plantation Plaquemines Parish and New Orleans, Louisiana Diana Stuart Dymond Earhart was born July 21, 1942 in New Orleans to William Dymond, Jr. and Stuart Louise Bogan. Her early years were spent in the French Quarter before her family relocated to Uptown. The Dymond family’s Louisiana roots began with Diana’s grandfather, John Dymond. John was born in Canada in 1836 to English parents from Cornwall. The family moved to Zanesville, Ohio, and John remained in the Midwest through school and later while working at his father’s cotton manufacturing business, White & Dymond, from 1858 to 1860. In the spring of 1860, he left for New York to become a traveling salesman, but after only three years entered into a business partnership with the nephew of a prominent coffee and sugar broker to form Dymond & Lally, a coffee and sugar company in New York and New Orleans. The firm purchased a New Orleans branch house in 1866 and in 1868 purchased Belair and Fairview sugar plantations. John Dymond’s most productive property was Belair Plantation. Located approximately 30 miles downriver from New Orleans on the East Bank, the plantation was built before 1720 by Governor Bienville. Dymond quickly became a prominent leader in the Louisiana sugar industry through innovative practices and business acumen. For instance, Dymond was the first to install a nineroller mill and he implemented a cost determination system based on weight that developed into a control system used almost universally in modern sugar manufacturing. He was internationally known in the industry as a leading figure, establishing the Louisiana Sugar Planters’ Association in 1877 and serving as the President from 1887 to 1897. Dymond served as State Senator, Vice-President of The Louisiana Historical Society and The Louisiana Agricultural and Scientific Association, CEO of Police Juries and Levee Boards, and held numerous other political and civic positions.
The stately main house at Belair Plantation was lost to the mighty Mississippi by river change and levee failure. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer items descended in the Dymond family, including property from Belair Plantation. The collection features a rare and monumental "Norman's Chart of the Lower Mississippi, from Natchez to New Orleans" as well as other important maps of the region, an impressive Louisiana Creole-style cypress armoire, New Orleans-retailed silver and more.
Important Maps from the Collection of Hugo Wedemeyer New Orleans, Louisiana
Hugo Wedemeyer (1929-2017), a native of New Orleans, was a resident of Metairie and the French Quarter. He was active in civic and arts organizations that championed the advancement and preservation of southern culture and architecture, including the Historic New Orleans Collection, the New Orleans Opera, and the Mardi Gras Krewe of Sparta, where he served as Duke of the French Quarter. He was also a long-time and ardent supporter of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra as donor, board member and archivist. After graduating from Tulane University, he served in the Air Force during the Korean War, and then embarked on a long and distinguished career in the marine insurance business, which took him abroad, often traveling and living in London for periods of time. Given his background, Wedemeyer developed a strong affinity for antique regional maps that he began collecting in earnest both here in New Orleans and in specialty antiquarian shops throughout London. After his retirement, Wedemeyer enthusiastically indulged his love of art, music, philosophy, travel, and general good living, expanding his collection into an impressive folio of nearly 100 important maps of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.

Paintings Deaccessioned from the Collection of Friends University, Wichita, Kansas; Gifted to the University by the Sam and Rie Bloomfield Foundation, Newport Beach, California Although Friends University was officially established as an institution of higher learning in 1898, its history dates to the mid-1880s when the Christian Churches of Kansas began construction on a building that would encompass more floor space under one roof than any other educational facility west of the Mississippi River. It wasn’t until James M. Davis, a businessman from St. Louis, saw an advertisement in a St. Louis paper and purchased the original building and surrounding lots that Friends University was born. He immediately offered the entire holding to the Kansas Society of Friends (better known as the Quakers) on the condition that the group raise $50,000 for the permanent endowment of the college. The conditions were accepted, and the University officially opened its doors in September 1898. The enrollment for the first fall was 52 students; during the first year that would grow to 102 students. Throughout its history, the University has remained committed to its central core: a broad-based education emphasizing the arts and sciences. As part of this educational goal, the Sam and Rie Bloomfield Foundation gifted a large collection of art, dating from the 15th through the 20th centuries, to afford the students the opportunity to learn from the actual period works themselves. Perhaps the most stunning selection is the collection of Renaissance and Baroque portraits which New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer in the December sale. The Sam and Rie Bloomfield Foundation generously supported numerous Wichita institutions and underwrote many of the city’s cultural, educational and charitable programs. Rie Bloomfield, an independent spirit, received her degree in nursing from Wichita Hospital in 1938 and practiced as an RN until her marriage. Sam Bloomfield was the owner, president and a chief engineer of Swallow Airplane Co. from 1934 to 1956. He eventually sold the company and used the proceeds to form the Foundation. It was to have a profound and positive influence on so many facets of our society, both cultural and scientific. Sam Bloomfield died in 1979, but his wife continued their philanthropic work until her death in 1996. She was awarded an honorary doctorate from Friends University in 1990, as a tribute to her charitable work. Lot 154
Estate of Charles Harcourt and Edith Marion Hallett "Love" Dimick Rifton and Manhattan, New York
Charles Harcourt Dimick was born September 17, 1884 in Hamilton, Massachusetts, to Charles Waldo Dimick and Abby Parcher Haines. He attended Harvard University from 1902-1904, leaving there to work at the National Tube Company in Lorain, Ohio. Two years later, he went on to work at the United States Cartridge Company in Lowell, Massachusetts, remaining with the company for five years until The National Lead Company acquired it. An Industrialist, he served as President of the Fairlawn Finishing Company in Fairlawn, New Jersey and the President of the Richmond Piece Dye Works, Inc. of Richmond, Virginia. Dimick was a member of the Harvard Club of New York and retained an office in the Empire State Building and a residence in Manhattan.
New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer items from the Estate of Charles Harcourt and Edith Marion Hallett "Love" Dimick. Items offered in the present sale were once located at Woodcrest Farm, including pieces by Tiffany Studios and a fine Chinese celadon jade vase.
After his tenure at Richmond Piece Dye Works, Inc., Dimick took over management of Woodcrest Farm, a large and impressive farm and estate built by his relative, Jeremiah W. Dimick, in Rifton, New York. In addition to being a prominent businessman, Jeremiah was a wellknown breeder of Holstein cows. Jeremiah died in 1915 leaving Woodcrest to Charles. Woodcrest Farm was an impressive estate. A 1930 brochure advertising the sale of the property by Charles after Jeremiah’s death reads, “Property includes spacious, well-built residence; comprehensive equipment of model horse and cattle barns—one reputed among finest in State—and farm buildings; superintendent’s cottage and 7 tenant houses; large stable—garage with quarters, etc.” The residence was further described as, “a three story Colonial Style built by the late Jeremiah W. Dimick for his own occupancy. It contains 14 rooms and 4 baths. The house has a steamheating plant, electricity, parquet floors in halls and principal rooms, wide porches.”
Charles Harcourt and Edith Marion Hallett "Love" Dimick
Charles Dimick was an avid horseman. His most prized horse, "On Guard", was awarded numerous trophies. He and his wife, Edith Marion Hallett "Love" Dimick, vacationed at Sky Top Lodge in Pennsylvania, where they enjoyed the vast beauty of the Pocono Mountains. On April 8, 1946, Harcourt left his office, dined and spent some time at the Harvard Club, then picked up his sport coupe at a nearby garage and headed towards his home. Harcourt was murdered that night. He lived long enough to whisper to the police, "I was shot by a sailor, who I had given a lift."

The triptych offered in this sale, dedicated to the story of Nativity is a fine example of the Antwerp Mannerist School. This is not to be confused with the Italian Mannerists as the two vary greatly stylistically and thematically. The central panel is devoted to the scene of the “Adoration of the Magi”, which was probably the most popular of scenes executed by artists of the movement. It is flanked by the “Nativity” and “The Rest on the Flight to Egypt”. This style of painting is known for its rich use of color, extravagant scenery where Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements merge unabashedly; the asymmetrical composition; lack of harmonious perspective and scale (unlike Italian Renaissance examples); lavish costuming, and unnatural source of light. “Adoration of the Magi”, with its inclusion of the exotic kings bearing gifts, perfectly lends itself to this theatrical tableau, creating a sense of drama and evoking an emotional response. Writing in the mid sixteenth century, the Portuguese painter Francisco de Hollanda recorded what he claimed was Michelangelo’s opinion on the achievements of Flemish Renaissance art: “Flemish painting, slowly answered the painter, will generally speaking, please the devout better than any painting of Italy, which will never cause him to shed a tear, whereas that of Flanders will cause him to shed many. In Flanders they paint with a view to deceiving sensual vision They paint stuffs and masonry, the green rivers and bridges, which they call landscapes, with many figures on this side and many figures on that.” Although the Northern Mannerists appeared before the Reformation of 1516, it is those same qualities described by
36
de Hollanda that appealed to the personal form of religious expression that the Protestants encouraged. The Reformation is also most likely responsible for the emergence of new, secular themes in art such as landscapes and portraiture. Whereas in the previous century, the religious and secular comingled in devotional painting, the sixteenth century witnessed a segregation of those themes. Of course, these new artistic developments could not have happened without the economic prosperity. Antwerp in the early part of 16th century emerged as the financial and trading center of Northern Europe, surpassing Bruges. This economic climate attracted artists from all over Europe, who set up workshops and produced large quantities of personal devotional works for both local consumption and export. Albrecht Durer, visiting the city in 1520, commented in his diary on the persistent carnival atmosphere on the streets of the city, especially during the Feast of Assumption of the Virgin. He also commented on the “awesomeness” of the artists guild of St. Luke, which as all other guilds in the city, was well organized and whose records give ample testimony to the sudden influx of foreign artists. The Northern Mannerist movement lasted only a few decades, although it emerged again at the turn of the century. 17th century saw an artistic boom due to the large workshops of the popular Peter Paul Rubens and Jacob Jordaens, but as the economy began to decline toward the end of the century, Antwerp ceased to be the artistic center it once was.

The London Times review of the Erle Drax sale at Christie’s on February 19, 1910 stated that while most of the 108 big paintings Erle-Drax purchased at the Northwick sale of 1859 were offered at auction, “a few, however, do not appear, and some of these omissions are of sufficient interest to call for notice, [notably] the whole length Velazquez, Don Juan of Austria”. At the time of Curtis’ catalogue raisonne on Murillo and Velazquez in 1883, this painting was reportedly still in the Erle-Drax collection. Its absence and misrepresentation does indeed merit attention; “Don Juan” does not reappear until a 1958 appraisal by Milton Holland in San Francisco for the Bloomfields, who purchased it (probably in London) during the early 1950s when they amassed much of their collection of old masters, and it remained a Velazquez until after it was gifted to Friends University, when Ian Kennedy, the Senior Vice President and Director of the Old Masters Collection at Christie’s, New York, properly attributed it to a portrait of Mattias de’ Medici by the studio of Sustermans in a 1992 letter, calling it “the most interesting work in the collection.” This impressive, life-sized portrait of Mattias de’ Medici is a much larger version of the one conserved at the Pitti Palace in Florence. It is remarkable in the amount of attention given to the details of the sitter’s “military costume”, especially considering its size. The studs on the armor, the point de Venise lace collar and the red embroidered and lace-trimmed sash is the focal point of the painting; the tiny battle in the background is hardly visible, although it probably alludes to Mattias’ involvement in the Thirty Years War in Austria from 1632‑1639 and the Wars of Castro from 1641‑1649, where he commanded the leagues of the Republic of Venice, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Duchies of Parma, Modena and Reggio against the Barberini Pope. As the son of Cosimo II de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Mattias was destined for an ecclesiastical career, but due to his poor disposition toward the vocation, he became a governor of Siena. Lover of arts, public festivities and finery, he was an important patron to many artists, including the Flemish painter Justus Sustermans, who spent most of his career in France and Italy at the Court of the Medicis. Sustermans painted Cosimo II’s five sons and three daughters multiple times from childhood to adulthood, and he was often further commissioned by the Medici to produce multiple copies of their portraits (through his workshop) to be sent to the family’s allied courts in Venice and Paris. One such fine example is the 1660 portrait of Mattias in armor and attended by a Moorish servant, now conserved in the National Gallery of Art. Executed in a near life-size scale, it too is a copy produced by the studio of Sustermans that was erroneously sold on the 19th-century London market. Instead of another “Don John” by Velazquez, it was sold in 1872 as Lord Fairfax by Sir Peter Lely. In spite of 19th-century cataloging mishaps, this portrait exemplifies Sustermans’ detailed, realistic depictions of his
subjects, along with the dramatic use of light and dark, rich color, and exquisite rendering of textures and fabrics. His style was influenced by Diego Velasquez and the Venetian artists, combining realism with the atmosphere and sense of drama. Sustermans was keenly inspired by Velazquez’s portrait of Francesco d’Este, Duke of Modena, painted in 1638 when d’Este visited Madrid to secure the support of Philip IV, King of Spain. Sustermans studied the painting extensively as he painted a portrait of d’Este’s son, Alfonso IV, in the likeness of it when he visited the Duke’s court in 1649. Both paintings of the d’Estes (conserved in the Galleria Estense in Modena) are depicted in three-quarter profile in polished black armor surmounted by the iconic Castilian red silk sash. Reserved for the nobility, it demarcated both political and ecclesiastical power; it was an expensive luxury only powerful countries with an advanced navy and mercantile trade could afford, as the rich carmine color was extracted from the cochineal, a tiny Mexican bug from the New World. The sash, often trimmed in gold thread network, is seen throughout Velazquez’s portraits of the court of Philip IV; the sash is the focal point of General Spinosa’s military costume in the famous painting of the “Surrender of Breda”, 1635, in the equestrian portrait of “Gaspar de Guzman, Count-Duke of Olivares”, 1636, (of which there are two Velazquez copies in the Prado and the Metropolitan museums) and, most importantly, the portrait of “King Philip IV”, 1638, in the Royal Collection, which was likely gifted to King Charles I by Sir Arthur Hopton, the English Ambassador to Madrid. In all three portraits, the similarities in composition and military costume are strikingly similar to the portrait of Mattias de’ Medici: all figures dominate the picture plane and are offset by diminutive backgrounds and landscapes; all wear half- to three-quarter-length suits of black armor, richly decorated in studs and gold damascened mounts with Castilian sashes. Given the number of copies of political portraiture produced by European monarchies and powerful courts, it is quite possible that Sustermans encountered more Velazquez paintings when he executed this portrait and the matching pendant one in the Pitti Palace of his brother Francesco. This painting is an extraordinary example of 17th-century political portrait painting, serving not only as a reminder of the Medici’s power, but also as an insight into the sitter’s personality - the unusual detail of the sash, embroidered with a floral design and trimmed in delicate gold thread and reticella lace is unique to this work. It may reference a mixture of Mattias’ flamboyant personality as a patron of the arts and his ecclesiastical background, as the sash is similar in design and color to several surviving examples of such 17th-century Italian fabrics, particularly a fragment of a chalice veil, pictured in the European Embroidery 1650‑1850, German Textile Museum, edited by Uta-Christiane Bergemann, Krefeld 2006 (Inv. No. 08772, cat, 35, p. 109).

Thomas Wentworth, a loyal supporter of King Charles I, was a powerful statesman, who believed in the absolute power of the monarchy as opposed to a constitutional one governed, in part, by Parliament. His great ambition to curb Parliament’s power led to his untimely impeachment and execution, which was begrudgingly signed by the King, just eight years before the King himself was overthrown in the English Civil War. After Wentworth served as President of the Council of the North in 1628, he was appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1632‑1641. Though he was an efficient administrator, he was detested for his pro-English authoritarian rule, and made many enemies among the nobles. To solidify his “sovereignty”, Wentworth commissioned numerous portraits of himself, the majority of which were issued when he governed Ireland, and ordered copies of them in quantity to be sent throughout the Kingdom. According to the National Portrait Gallery in London, Anthony van Dyck painted Wentworth’s portrait at least thirty-one times. The three oil paintings in the Gallery’s collection are copies after 1633 portraits, including a smaller work of the portrait offered here with Wentworth’s obedient Irish wolfhound gazing upward at him. This same painting, in yet three more different sizes (two of which are even larger than this one), were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1875, 1883 and 1885 by landed gentry. Before this painting came to be part of the Bloomfield’s private collection in the 1940s-1950s, it, too, probably graced the vast halls of an estate alongside the portrait of Wentworth’s rival George Villiers, First Duke of Buckingham, presented in the same custom-made giltwood frame.

For years this painting was attributed to Titian; in the first half of the 20th century, it was marketed, sold and bought as a Titian; in the second half of the 20th century, it was appraised, gifted to the museum, conserved and exhibited as a Titian. In 1992, a representative from Christie’s Old Masters Department in New York suggested it was instead by Titian’s apprentice Paris Bordone without articulating why? Was it because of the similarities between this portrait and his bravura in rendering a variety of textures and forms through color? Was it the luminescence of Girolamo della Torre’s flesh, created through the transparent layering of glazes and framed by the short, quick brushstrokes in his beard and hairline, or was it the more Mannerist-style of the figures’ long immense black-robbed form and the saturation of the green table cloth? While these characteristics are consistent with many Bordone portraits, namely the portrait bust of the red headed gentleman in the Uffizi in Florence or his portrait of Nickolaus Korber in the Liechtenstein Collection in Vienna, they are visible, in varying degrees, in most Titian’s pupils. Though Bordone travelled throughout the courts of northern Italy in the 1530s and 1540s, he preferred mythical subjects to portraits, and is not known to have had paintings commissioned by the della Torre family. Titian, on the other hand, painted members of the della Torre family, including Girolamo’s uncle Francesco Savorgnan della Torre in 1545. Three years later, Girolamo sends Titian to Augsburg with a letter of recommendation intended for the Cardinal of Trent. Why would Girolamo recommend Titian to the cardinal and friend of his brother Michele (also a cardinal) if he had not painted his portrait? Is it possible that the portrait of Girolamo was indeed executed by Titian’s workshop? If not Titian, then who? Lorenzo Lotto, another Venetian painter strongly influenced by Titian, who also painted the della Torre family? The Della Torres, known in German as Thurn (tower) und Valsassina, is a prominent Italian/Austrian family, whose peerage persists under the titles Count or Countess of Thurn and Valsassina-Como-Vercelli. They originated from Valsassina in the Alps of Lombardy, and ruled Milan from the 12th to the 14th century. The sitter, Girolamo, was destined for an ecclesiastical career, but abandoned it in 1549 in favor of
66
politics when he betrothed, Giulia Bembo, the daughter of a Venetian patrician. Lotto painted Girolamo Torre’s uncle and much older cousin in an early portrait, “Giovanni della Torre and his son, Niccolo”, ca. 1513-1516, now in the National Portrait Gallery. Niccolo’s son, also named Niccolo, was more closely allied in age and status to his father’s cousins- Girolamo and his brothers Luigi/Alvise and Michele. In 1533, all four were conferred as “counts of Valsassina” by Emperor Charles V. It is also reported that Lotto painted a portrait of the della Torre brothers, which was exhibited throughout the latter half of the 19th century in Brescia at the Galleria Lecchi. Later portraits by Lotto certainly suggest that this portrait of Girolamo could be by the hand of the artist, such as “Laura da Polo” (1544), now in the Pinacoteca di Brera. Da Polo is depicted in the same diamond-patterned black velvet robe with a similar oversaturated lime green taffeta curtain in the background. The brushwork that conveys the tight red curls at the hairline recalls Girolamo’s temples, as well as Titian’s treatment of Danae’s hair. Lotto was a master at creating rich textures and form through a complex layering of color instead of line, but unlike many of the Venetian masters, he was not particularly adept at depicting the figure, as he was less interested in the human form than in the psychology of the sitter. A fine example is Girolamo’s luxuriant, yet shapeless and understated robe that conveys Girolamo’s importance without the opulence of fitted tights, jewels or lace. Like North Renaissance artists, Lotto’s figures do not often directly engage the viewer: Young da Polo looks down and away in a moment of reverie, and Girolamo’s right eye peripherally glances outward at the viewer in curiosity, while the left eye stares blankly ahead. Bordone’s portraits, as many scholars have pointed out, also employ indirect and asymmetrical placement of the eyes for the same purpose. Bordone, Titian and Lotto spent much of their careers travelling outside of Venice and were highly attuned to the works of their contemporaries. Did they ever work in tandem for the illustrious della Torre family is a question this portrait continues to raise?

George Augustus Frederick was the eldest son of King George III and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. An intelligent, witty, and charming figure, George – affectionately referred to as “Prinny” – was also flagrantly extravagant, known for his outrageous excesses and wasteful spending. After his father fell severely ill Parliament, fearing that the populace’s faith in the monarchy would weaken, made the unusual and extreme decision to name the young man Prince Regent, making him the essential head of the country. This portrait captures Prince George at the height of his Regency. Initially admired by the English people, his rambunctious, careless behavior – including a clandestine and essentially illegal marriage to the twice widowed Catholic Maria Fitzherbert – soon became uncontrollable. Severely in debt,
92
Parliament agreed to honor his debts only if he agreed to marry his first cousin Caroline of Brunswick. The marriage was an unmitigated disaster; both parties took an instant dislike to each other and the majority of their marriage was spent in separate countries. This impressive portrait is a copy of the 1816 painting by Sir Thomas Lawrence, which is conserved at the Vatican Museum, Vatican City. It reveals the then Prince Regent in all his glory – the lush clothing, insignia and badges of the many orders of which he is a member, the careful posturing of his figure. A later portrait completed for the King’s Coronation and dated 1821, is nearly identical except for its inclusion of scarlet, ermined edged robes.

“I can never forget the inexpressible luxury and profaneness, gaming and all dissoluteness, and as it were total forgetfulness of God (it being Sunday evening), which this day’s night I was witness of, the King sitting and toying with his concubines, Portsmouth, Cleveland, and Mazarine [sic], etc., a French boy singing love songs, in that glorious gallery, whilst about twenty of the great courtiers and other dissolute persons were at Basset round a long table....Six days later, was all in the Dust.” - Memoirs Illustrative of the Life and Writings of John Evelyn
94
The work presented here is a variant of Frith’s 1866 painting “The Last Sunday of Charles II”, and was created in the last years of the artist’s life when he frequently revisited earlier, favorite paintings. According to Frith’s own diary, he was inspired by Evelyn’s description, excerpted above, of the liveliness and hedonism of the Royal Court on one of the last days of the King’s life (Charles II fell unexpectedly ill the following day, dying several days later). The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy, where it proved so popular a railing had to be installed to protect it from the throng of visitors. The subject lent itself well to Frith’s grandiose style, and allowed the artist to revel in the various accoutrements of the wealthy Court.

How to die in the bath? That is the question to be asked. Agamemnon, by many accounts, was murdered in the bath after his return from the Trojan Wars; Emperor Hadrian’s favored youth, Antinous, drowned under dubious circumstances in the Nile; and, perhaps most famous of all, Shakespeare’s Ophelia, who commits suicide by drowning after her lover Hamlet murders her father. The art of dying in the bath is not only a modern phenomenon but also a historical one that has informed millennia of Western art and is at the heart of the painting offered here - the “Toilette des Morts (“Bath of Deaths” or the “Last Toilet”), and its 1852 pendant work. Charlotte Corday, often regarded as a heroine of the French Revolution, was a member of the Girondins - a moderate political faction that advocated an intellectual revolution over the more radical Jacobin faction that promulgated the bloody “Reign of Terror”. In attempt to stymie the escalating violence, Corday, in a daring vigilante act, gained entry to the residence of the Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat and assassinated him in his bathtub in July 1793. The moment of his death, immortalized in the canon of art through Jacques-Louis David’s famous painting from the same year, elucidated multiple artistic renditions in the century that followed.
In 1852, Ward exhibited a painting of “Charlotte Corday Being Led to Execution” at the Royal Academy while his rival and former colleague John Everett Millais exhibited the celebrated Pre-Raphaelite painting of “Ophelia” (now conserved in the Tate Museum) in a watery bed of willows. Ward’s painting catapulted him to immediate acclaim after it beat out Millais’ oeuvre for the Liverpool medal. “Ophelia”, or “O’ Failure” as Ward dubbed it, received mixed reviews that culminated in multiple legal bills, after the family of Elizabeth Siddal - the model for Ophelia, sued the artist, claiming that Siddal’s untimely death years later resulted from complications to the pneumonia she contracted after posing for hours in a poorly heated bathtub. In the decade that followed, Ward returned to the subject of “Charlotte Corday”, painting a prequel to his famed 1852 work, depicting her at her toilet. Before her execution, Corday requested that her portrait be painted in prison. Jean-Jacques Hauer, a courtroom artist and member of the National Guard, captured her likeness at her toilet - her last washing and dressing, as her hair was shorn and the red overblouse - the dress of a condemned traitor of the state - was donned. “Toilette des Morts” was equally lauded; it was shown at two major international exhibitions and in 1869, an engraving of the work was produced by Lumbar Stocks, R.A. for the Art Journal and mass distributed to its subscribers.

358 Ferdinand Loyen du Puigaudeau (French, 1864‑1930) “Marais Salants Pres du Croisic” oil on panel signed lower right. 7‑1/4” x 9‑1/8”, framed 15‑1/4” x 17” Provenance: Sotheby’s, Paris, July 3, 2008, lot 308. This painting is to be included in Antoine Laurentin’s forthcoming Le catalogue raisonne des peintures de Ferdinand du Puigaudeau. $12,000‑$18,000 A painter in the Impressionistic style, Puigedeau received a traditional education in his native Nantes before travelling to Italy and Tunisia. Upon his return to France he spent some time in the Breton city of PontAven, becoming an integral part of the thriving artistic community and befriending fellow artists Paul Gaugin, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Pierre-August Renoir; these artists were to be forces behind the “Pont-Aven School” which emphasized the use of bold, light-infused colors. This approach is clearly evident in Puigaudeau’s work which is known for its distinctive wide range of vivid colors and understanding of how light can shape landscapes and objects, creating a certain mood. The intimate painting here is a wonderful example of the artist’s style: A village bathed in the mid-day sun, serenely combining the small, energetic brushstrokes of the poppies in the foreground we associate with the Impressionists, together with the strong linear definition of the rooftops beyond.

558
Duret was an academically trained sculptor whose most popular and familiar works reveal his deep love and appreciation for the antiquities of the Classical Age. The son of an artist, he trained with his father and studied under Francois-Joseph Bosso, before traveling to Europe where he soon immersed himself in the history, culture, and artistic traditions of the region. The original models for the works presented here (part of his debut exhibition at the Paris Salon of 1838), bear a resemblance in form and composition to the Dancing Satyr, a 1st/2nd century CE Roman sculpture (itself a copy of the 2nd century Hellenistic work), now conserved at the Uffizi Gallery, Rome, and the Dancing Faun, a 2nd century BC Greco-Roman sculpture, now conserved at the National Archeological Museum in Naples. Duret’s figures, however, exhibit more freedom from the somewhat controlled postures of his inspiration; his dancers turn, twist and contort, revealing exuberant expressions and easily conveying to the viewers their pleasure and enthusiasm for the dance in which they are so completely engrossed.

803 “Accurata delineatio celeberrimae Regionis Ludovicianae vel Gallice Louisiane, ol Canada et Florida... (Accurate Delineation of the Frequented Louisiana Region, or of French Louisiana, Canada and Florida)” by Matthaus Seutter (German, 1678‑1756), handcolored engraving with a cartouche mocking the “Mississippi Bubble”, published Augsburg, 1720. Unframed. plate 19‑1/2” x 22‑5/8”, sheet 21‑3/4” x 24‑5/8” Provenance: Private collection of Hugo Wedemeyer, New Orleans, Louisiana. $2,000‑$4,000 Drafted after Nicolas de Fer’s 1718 chart, this beautiful map, which depicts the great lakes and gulf coast from the French-controlled northeast coast to the Spanish-controlled New Mexico, represents an extraordinary chronicle of ruin-the collapse of a selfcontained Ponzi scheme by John Law, known as the “Mississippi Bubble.”
After Louis XIV nearly bankrupted the nation, France needed credit to stay afloat and a Scotsman, full of chicanery, with a goldsmith’s background provided the answer in 1717. In the absence of gold, paper currency would be generated by the backing of a government chartered bank that would in turn be used to ameliorate the national debt. After a moderately successful venture, Law devised a scheme to pay off the government’s remaining deficit through the creation of the French trading company-the Compagnie des Indes (commonly called the Mississippi Company), which secured a trading monopoly with the French Louisiana territory in 1719. In lieu of gold, portions of the debt would be exchanged for shares in the company, creating a system whereby an increase in shares would generate an increase in paper currency that Law promised would yield 120% profit to shareholders. As demand for shares soared with over 300,000 investors, so too did inflation, causing the bubble to burst in 1720 when French shareholders attempted to redeem their banknotes, which more than doubled the nation’s coin currency. While the inset in the upper left depicts the Louisiana coastline from the Mississippi Delta to the Florida peninsular at the height of the “Mississippi Bubble” with many forts/posts and Indian villages, the cartouche in the lower right illustrates its collapse in poignant allegory, portraying it as an assembly of deceit. At its center is the investment scheme, personified as a statue of Fortuna spilling a cornucopia of riches and jewels. Above her a group of cherubs swoon, issuing false shares; below her, another group of cherubs cuts up those same shares, while blowing bubbles. To the left and to the right of Fortuna is the before- wealthy vainglorious investors, and the after- men hunkered over by their ruin. 291291

808 Rare and Monumental Map of “Louisiana from Darby’s Map, Published at Philadelphia 1816” by William Darby (British/American, 1775‑1854), hand-colored engraving, published by Aaron Arrowsmith, Hydrographer to the Prince of Wales, London, January 3, 1817. Unframed. plate 27‑3/4” x 39‑1/2”, sheet 28‑1/2” x 40‑1/4” Provenance: Private collection of Hugo Wedemeyer, New Orleans, Louisiana. $20,000‑$40,000 “I have no doubt whatever that Mr. Darby’s Map of Louisiana is more correct than any which has been published of that country. He has certainly taken extraordinary pains to acquire correct information; and as far as my opportunities have enabled me to judge I am induced to think his delineations correct.” -Andrew Jackson, speaking before U.S. Congress, Senate on his use of Darby’s (then) unpublished map of Louisiana that he relied on during and after the defense of New Orleans in the 1815 battle. At the outbreak of the War of 1812, Darby had already completed his map of Louisiana proper after nearly eight years of surveying the state, and promptly offered his map and services to General Jackson, serving as his topographical advisor. Jackson’s comments on the accuracy of Darby’s map have weathered time, as there are few major differences between his map and modern day ones-the most significant being the growth in Parishes from 25 to 64. After the war Darby completed his map, adding his expedition on the Sabine River and explorations of the Mississippi territory and Alabama, and presented it to John Melish in Philadelphia, the premier publisher at the time. Regrettably, Darby did not properly secure copyrights on his map, and Melish incorporated it into his own map of the United States without crediting him,
and received most of the recognition for it. It was not until a few weeks before his death in 1854 that Darby received a nominal remuneration from Congress for his work. In an attempt to reclaim his work, Darby immediately published an improved second edition through James Olmstead and Benjamin Levy in New York and New Orleans just months after the Melish one with the inclusion of ten additional counties, changes to Lafourche Parish, the course of the Alabama river and Choctaw boundary lines. In his preface to the new edition, Darby reiterates the singularity of his work: “The State of Louisiana south of Red river, and west of the meridian of Natchitoches, has never been surveyed except by myself. The whole work is from original document I am the only man who ever did attempt and execute a survey of the Sabine.” As Darby’s declarative prose demonstrate, what makes his map so incredibly important is the detail with which it was executed. What Adrien Persac achieved, in terms of cartographic history and demography, in his epic map of the plantations along the lower Mississippi River, Darby also achieved in terms of the topography, hydrography and demography of the state and gulf coast as General Jackson poignantly attested. Before Darby’s map, little had been accurately charted outside the twelve original counties and the rivers in the southeast; almost all of southwest Louisiana was a vast space of “terra incognita” that crafty publishers filled in with large cartouches. Darby’s map not only surveyed all the parish boundaries, but also all the major roads, settlements, rivers, bayous, and soundings. The United Kingdom, in recognition of the map’s great historical importance, which played a contributing role in the British defeat in the Battle of New Orleans, published a copy of Darby’s second edition (with proper acknowledgement) shortly after Olmstead and Levy produced it, making this map, the third state to be issued. All states are extremely scarce and valuable, as only a handful of have ever come to auction in the last 30 years. Reference: Gomez, Gary. “Describing Louisiana: The Contribution of William Darby”.

830 “Map of New Orleans and Adjacent Country” by John Melish (Scottish/American, 1771‑1822), hand-colored engraved map from A Military and Topographical Atlas of the United States, published Philadelphia, 1815. Glazed and framed. sight 15‑1/4” x 21”, framed 22” x 27” Published right after the War of 1812, this rare map, charted after Barthelemy Lafon’s premier 1806 plan of the New Orleans territory, was published to better illustrate to the public the geographical significance of the maritime victory over the British that culminated in the Treaty of Ghent. The map masterfully surveys the area from Lake Maurepas in Louisiana to Pensacola, including batteries on the English turn, two camps and battlefields between Villiers and New Orleans, and the pivotal forts- Barancas, Bowyer, St. John and St. Philip. The map is also one of the first to chart water depth in fathoms and the soundings of the Mississippi Delta. $2,500‑$4,000

Norman’s monumental map of the plantations from New Orleans to Natchez is regarded by historians and collectors as the most important map ever produced of the region - as it accurately charts the types of plantations, the owners, locations of schools, post-offices, hotels and churches on both sides of the Mississippi in the antebellum era. In 1938, it was estimated by a writer for the Baton Rouge Advocate (based on research culled from Dr. Wendell H. Stephenson, Professor of History at LSU) that not more than eight or ten of the original 1858 maps still existed. Today only four of those monumental works are knowingly conserved in public institutions: one is in the Historic New Orleans Collection, another is in the Louisiana State University (LSU) archive, a third is in the collection of the Howard Memorial Library (now HowardTilton at Tulane University) and a fourth is still actively used by the Louisiana Supreme Court to settle land ownership cases. Even rarer is its presence at auction, since most of the maps were rolled or folded in fifths and used by river pilots, they have deteriorated through time. According to auction databases, since the mid-1990s, only three have come to auction; all have sold for over $160,000. The map offered here represents a scarce opportunity for the discerning collector to own both an important historical record and a rare work of art by one of the most important Louisiana artists of the first half of the 19th century. Adrien Persac was a prolific painter, draftsman surveyor, lithographer and photographer, who recorded more plantation scenes than any other artist. In addition to painting roughly thirty idealized plantation scenes and public buildings in gouache for private clients, Persac also worked in traditional watercolors, working as a map surveyor and depicting houses for the auction market in New Orleans. In 1857, Benjamin Moore Norman commissioned him to chart a “perfect picture” of the glories of the “windings of the Father of Waters from this city to Natchez”. After the map was published and advertised in multiple newspaper classifieds to the public between March and April 1858, the New Orleans Crescent declared that Persac “deserves the highest credit for his very able and useful labor”, as he, being the true artist that he was, “descended the river in a skiff, landing at every mile, and drawing every plantation line and taking down every name and landmark on both banks of the river.” References: Dutton, Malile. “Two Copies of ‘Persac’s Map’ Recall Faded Glory of Plantations.” Advocate.

Glazed in a float-mount frame; together with the original 233‑page illustrated plan “Presenting a Complete Guide to All Subjects of General Interest in the Southern Metropolis”, and the portfolio cover for the map, both are cloth-bound board with gilt lettering and tooling, 6‑1/4” x 3‑1/4” and 5‑5/8” x 3‑3/4”, respectively. 17‑3/4” x 24‑1/2”, framed 36‑3/4” x 32‑7/8” This rare map, also produced by Norman, is unparalleled in the scope of its detail that illustrates significant social mores through historical boundaries. In 1836, the city charter was repealed and redrawn around Anglo and French Creole communities due to mounting ethnic tensions. The boundaries of these three new municipalities (with their own council, police force and taxes) that lasted until 1852 are clearly delineated on the map in pink/green, green/pink and orange/ yellow lines with corresponding street plans and block numbers. Intersecting these municipalities are the transportation lines - railways, canals and ferries, and footprints of dozens of other major edifices, many of which are identified on the legend at the base that contains an impressive listing of public buildings, banks, churches, theaters, and businesses.

Hermann Herzog’s epic landscapes, accentuated by dramatic lighting, captivated the imagination of 19th- and 20th-century collectors, because the artist depicted the rugged Alps and the American wilderness through the rosy-tinted lens of “romantic pantheism.” For Herzog, the landscape was a sublime experience; it was a reflection of God’s creation that simultaneously awed and terrified people, and it was a medium for spiritual transcendence that both sanctioned and abated manifest destiny. In the early 1870s after Herzog immigrated to the United States, his views of the unchartered West provided an escapist reprieve from the war-torn East; in the early 1900s, his ethereal tonalist views of central Florida’s flora and fauna bore significant historical and visual evidence of one of America’s last frontiers. As this painting demonstrates, Florida is far more than everglades, beaches, sunset boulevards and iconic palm trees; it has the longest history of ranching in any state of the United States. Cattle ranching, followed by logging, was the economic staple at the turn of the 20th century. Florida was the nation’s leading cattle exporter not only within the eastern United States, but also within the Caribbean, fostering a lucrative market with Key West, Cuba and Nassau. Cattle ranches flourished throughout north central Florida between Tampa, where Herzog’s son Herman Jr. lived and Gainesville, and Herzog (through the few titled Florida works) is known to have painted this region along the inlets and waterways of the Alachua and Waccasassa Rivers, which are in close proximity to Silver Springs resort, a major tourist destination and artist colony on the Ocklawaha River that rivaled St. Augustine. The vast flatness, the reflective marsh, the low horizon, and immense sky that engulfs more than half the picture plane
in a haze of gold and pink is distinctly Floridian, according to curator Gary Libby. In Reflections: Paintings of Florida, 1865‑1965, the exhibition catalogue from the Collection of Cici and Hyatt Brown (the largest known private collection of Florida-based art), Libby writes that the key to “finding Floridaness” is a discerning eye for composition, flora, fauna and lighting. “Where the land is flat, waters move slowly,” where shallow waters stagnate, humidity arises and causes the shorter rays of sunlight at sunset to naturally blur into an atmospheric perspective that only Herzog, an accomplished Barbizon/Hudson River School artist, could truly capture through the bravura of reverse lighting - where the landscape is ethereally lit from behind, casting the foreground into warm shadows. Nowhere is this stunning effect better visualized than in the silhouettes of the cattle, the ashen roiling clouds and the splayed trunks of the young cypress trees on the left horizon. True to all Florida swamp cypresses (Taxodium distichum), they moor support in wetlands by buttressing outward, before growing upward knees. This is Florida, and this is Herzog, a master of reverse and tonalist lighting, at his finest. As the Philadelphia Press lauded his work: “His faculty of choosing the most effective illumination assisted by the rapidity of execution which enables him to seize and fetter the most transient phenomena of light and shade - of clouds that pass and of water - amount to genius and make his pictures unique among landscapes.” References: State of Florida Photographic Archives.

The bold colors and abstracted geometric figures, innate to the linocut process, were designed to be printed in various combinations, imbuing typical landscapes with spiritual symbolism that, according to Mary Pickard, the artist’s daughter, “emphasized connections in relationships among sea, earth and sky.” Printed on the reverse side of wallpaper rolls, the linocuts were affordable to ordinary folk, empowering them to share in the narratives that shape their lives. In 1949, A “Three Fish” print that closely resembles this one is in the Collection of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art.

For nearly a decade, the photographer Lewis Wickes Hine worked for the National Child Labor committee, a social reform organization which had been established in 1904 with the goal of bringing national exposure to the plight of children in full time employment in America’s factories and mills. Hine’s stark black and white photos revealed the plight of these children – often as young as four or five – and included inscriptions of the personal information he was able to gather from his subjects; names, ages, level of schooling, family situation, etc. These photos made the general American population aware, often for the first time, of the truly dire nature of the lives of child mill and factory workers, and were implicitly responsible for the resulting child labor laws.

976 William Zorach (Lithuanian/American, 1887‑1966)

“Sculptural Sketch of a Woman”, ca. 1939 patinated bronze cast signature and numbered “1/6” along proper right edge of self-base, an old partial gallery label at bottom. h. 7”, w. 3”, d. 2” $5,000‑$8,000 The Lithuanian born and Ohio raised Zorach was one of the first proponents of the American Modernist movement. He attended the Cleveland School of Art and the National Academy of Design in New York before enrolling in 1910 at the post-impressionist avant-garde Academie de la Palette in Paris. While at la Palette, Zorach met the fauvist artist Marguerite Thompson; the two would eventually marry and collaborate on numerous projects. Captivated by the thriving art community and by his fellow students and artists, Zorach began to experiment with various stylistic approaches to his work. His earliest works were colorful, vibrant landscapes with broad brushstrokes and in the bright palette most associated with the fauvists. He soon began to create paintings in a Cubist style and this led to his first experimentation with sculpture. These resulting figures are frequently explorations of the abstracted human form, as is evidenced by the example offered here. Eventually, Zorach would abandon painting - with the exception of watercolors - in favor of the more time-consuming and labor intensive discipline of sculpture. As he once commented on the distinction between the two media in terms of the difference in the creative approach; “There are things one does for the pure love of form and color, in the easy abandonment to the moods and the fancies of the moment.then there are the visions imprisoned in the rock and the visions deep in one’s soul this is my sculpture” Zorach exhibited widely during his lifetime and had two works included in the influential and now legendary 1913 Armory Show in New York.

1008 Victor Khromin (Russian/American, 1948‑2015) “Triptych 4, Adam and Eve”, 2014‑2016 heat pressured medium, metallic paint on canvas signed lower center “Victor + Katya Khromin”. Framed. 52‑1/2” x 74”, framed 53” x 75” $10,000‑$15,000 Reminiscent of Romanesque bas-relief, Victor Khromin’s unique paintings are executed in oils and acrylics on a layered “sculpted” canvas, incorporating found objects. As with most artists who are influenced by a sincere and strong sense of place, Victor’s paintings are roadmaps to his memories of a childhood spent in a somewhat insular Finnish village, near Leningrad. His mother belonged to a small ethnic group of Ingrian Finns within the Soviet Union, in a region once part of Sweden.
Khromin’s early years were spent cocooned in a small world of Finnish-speaking people, with strange and extraordinary architecture, colorful myths, and even Ingrian graffiti in the subways - the very subways which connected the vibrant “outsider” communities to the vast, monotone Soviet Union. All of this nurtured the young artist’s burgeoning imagination and curiosity and cultivated his enigmatic artistic vision, which is adeptly expressed on his large canvasses. Khromin’s art is populated with stylized figures, shapes reminiscent of farm life, bicycles and found objects, all common to his childhood home. The found objects are carefully chosen for their specific shape, blending seamlessly with the acrylics and oils: the ordinary transformed into the imaginative. Victor Khromin’s paintings invite the viewer to lose oneself in the dynamic, complex world conceived on the canvas, to inquire about the stories depicted and, hopefully, foment a desire to delve deeply into the work for understanding. He also often collaborated with his wife, Ekaterina, a fellow artist. Ekaterina, a prolific painter, graphics artist and illustrator, before coming to the United States, was a professor at St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. She was awarded a gold medal for the poster design of the 1990 Venice Biennale.

Born in Chile of Irish and Portuguese parentage, Colvin attended the Art School of the Universidad de Chile in Santiago. She worked with sculptors Lorenzo Dominguez (1901‑1963) and Julio Vasquez Cortes before receiving a scholarship to study in France at L’Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris with Ossip Zadkine (1890‑1967) and Henri Laurens (1885‑1954). In 1952 she attended the Slade School of Fine Art in London where she met Henry Moore (1898‑1986), who encouraged her to look to the beauty of Chile and its rich heritage. Inspired by the terrain of her native country, Colvin moved away from a realist approach and soon began to create works whose elements were distilled to their organic forms. These often large-scaled sculptures in wood, stone and metal are multi-layered and richly textured. As seen with the smaller scale sculpture offered here, her work frequently incorporates deeply incised, moveable elements. Colvin’s first solo exhibition was in 1954 in Paris. She was the recipient of numerous prestigious awards including the 1965 Grand Prix of Sao Paulo Biennale and the Chilean National Art Prize in 1970.

“Sculpture is living, it’s vital, it’s changeable. Even when you walk around it, it can be something different. Drawing is a reflection and coordinating eye and hand, but sculpture is your mind and an idea.” --Lin Emery
An internationally renowned artist, Lin Emery’s kinetic sculptures have an elegance of movement which masks an intricate and precise working. The components slowly sway and undulate, pushing and pulling each other in a seemingly endless dance, incorporating the very air around them. Using highly polished aluminum, a material she says is readily available in the port city of New Orleans, Emery creates abstracted forms reminiscent of the natural elements which inspired them. As the artist once admitted, “I love the natural movement of the trees on the levees, the river, and anything in nature.” Emery spent her youth traveling between New York and Florida, before enrolling in Columbia University at the precocious age of 16. She traveled from university to university before arriving at the Sorbonne in Paris. While in Paris, she became interested in the work of Russian sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1890‑1967) whose studio was near her lodgings. Zadkine accepted her as a student, intrigued by the artistic potential of the curious and creative young woman. Emery eventually returned to New York to study welding at the New York Sculpture Center, one of the few schools to accept women into such a program.
382
Upon completion of her studies, she settled in New Orleans where she turned a portion of her French Quarter apartment into a studio. While her first sculptures were figural, Emery soon found herself more intrigued by the internal structural armatures than the finished work. She began to experiment with abstract welded sculptures, eventually incorporating natural elements water, magnets, air - into her works to create motion. “Tree Dance” exemplifies Emery’s kinetic sculpture. This lot, a variant of the 1990 commission for Hofstra University (made possible by the generous gift of Florence and Robert Kauffman,) is wind activated. With its geometric-shaped red and chrome graduated leaves and winding trunk, it scintillates at the slightest breeze, creating a veritable kaleidoscope of colors and forms. Emery is the recipient of numerous prestigious national and international awards, most significantly the Laszlo Aranyi Award of Honor for Public Art, a National Endowment for the Arts Grant, a Louisiana Women of Achievement Award, the Osawa, Japan Grand Prix for Public Sculpture, and an Opus Award from the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She has exhibited widely including: the National Academy of Design, New York, New York; the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans, Louisiana; Arthur Roger Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana; Kouros Gallery, New York, New York; and the Academy of Fine Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Bronzes of the 19th Century, Atglen: Schiffer Publishing, Co., 1994, same model illus. p. 228 While still a student at l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1872, Coutan was the recipient of the prestigious Prix de Rome, which afforded him the opportunity to study in Italy for several years. Upon his return to Paris, he had his debut at the Paris Salon to much attention and acclaim. One of the most sought-after artists for grand public commissions, Coutan was known for his elegant allegorical sculptures. The wonderful bas relief plaque presented here of an allegorical depiction of victory as a winged figure on horseback reveals the sculptor at his most masterful; the taut yet subtle muscles of the horses legs, the delineated feathers of the wings, and the delicate modeling which creates an interplay of light and shadow creating a sense of depth and motion. Coutan was named a professor of art at l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1900.

As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.
3. At the Auction (a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG; (ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment (iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and (v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion. (c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids. (i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).
Rev. 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.
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
(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.
(ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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. 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.
