Welcome to
A DECEMBER from the President
"It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor."
– Charles Dickens
s the holidays approach, I am reminded of one of my favorite seasonal stories, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, and the importance of the lessons it shares.
Old Fezziwig, under whom Ebenezer Scrooge apprenticed as a young man, was known for his joyful spirit and generosity. Fezziwig’s belief in the power of compassion over greed serves as a stark contrast to Scrooge’s miserly ways.
Each year, Fezziwig would host a lavish Christmas Eve celebration filled with dancing, music and laughter, embodying the warmth of the holiday season. When the Ghost of Christmas Past descends on Scrooge, he whisks him away to one of Fezziwig’s fêtes. “The lights from the fire glistened against the glass, while [Fezziwig’s] rich laughter seemed to make the air itself more golden,” Dickens writes.
As Scrooge observes his younger self reveling in merriment, he is reminded of the intoxicating power of kindness and joy. Ebenezer remarks that, “the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." Filled with regret, Scrooge undergoes a profound transformation and begins to spread love and joy to those around him.
In the spirit of the season, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your business. All of us at NOAG love what we do and are delighted to share it with you.

KEVIN STONE & MARK DIAMOND, PART II
Featuring the Collection of Kevin Stone Antiques
or nearly three decades, Kevin Stone Antiques was a Magazine Street staple, offering an inimitable level of quality and distinction in antiques, fine art, decorative objects and interior decorating services.
At the heart of the shop’s reputation for excellence were Kevin Stone and his partner, Mark Diamond. Stone and Diamond set Kevin Stone Antiques apart by being fully present in their business. From sourcing from estates in Europe to meticulously inspecting each piece, they were involved every step of the way. This personal attention to detail would further cement Kevin Stone Antiques as the go-to shop for discerning clients in search of truly exceptional antiques.
Over their 25 years together, Stone and Diamond have built a formidable career and a vibrant life centered on their shared passion for historic preservation, decorating and antiques.
In 2021, the couple decided to take on the restoration of the historic Banker’s House (ca. 1836) in Natchez, Miss. Over the course of a year, Stone and Diamond poured their hearts and souls into transforming the Banker’s House into the masterpiece it once was, an undertaking that would become one of their most significant and personal projects.
Everything in this home is from the heart. We bought these pieces because we loved them. We picked them for their quality or their rarity or because they spoke to us in some way. Nothing about this collection is ordinary.”
– Kevin Stone
Stone and Diamond’s collection is a stunning reflection of their shared love for antiques, their inimitable style and the full life they have built together. The handselected items, the majority of which they acquired over decades of traveling through Europe, showcase the very best in collecting and mirror the exemplary eye that made Kevin Stone Antiques a beloved one-ofa-kind shop.
New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to collaborate with Stone and Diamond in presenting part two of their extensive collection, which showcases a broad range of continental decorative arts across several categories, including bronze, porcelain and silver.

IRONSTONE explorations A Collector's Treasure Trove: MASON'S
A classic and beautiful objet d’art, antique ironstone (also known as English porcelain, stone china, new stone or semiporcelain) has continued to gain popularity among collectors and decorators.
Developed in England in the early 19th century by North Staffordshire potters as a more affordable, massproduced substitute for porcelain, ironstone is first credited to William Turner (ca. 1800). It was Charles James Mason, however, who would officially patent the ironstone formulation in 1813, kicking off his first pottery manufacturing venture. While there is no iron in ironstone, its distinct and highly durable formulation allowed for the production of large ornamental objects, including mantelpieces and vestibule vases.
Notably, it was Mason who began applying transfer-printed designs to ironstone as a means to reproduce Chinese porcelain, with designs ranging from densely saturated patterns to small, delicate motifs. Today, the decorative quality and elegance of Mason’s ironstone provide a treasure trove for avid collectors on both sides of the Atlantic.
When Mason’s patent expired in 1827, a variety of other makers began producing their own ironstone varieties, including several American potters in the late 1870s. Mason’s ironstone, however, has remained the gold standard thanks largely in part to its distinct decorative design.
Written by / Valeria L. Palmertree
Splendid, extensive and unique stock of Porcelain… comprising richly gilt table (dinner) and dessert services. A variety of earthenware table sets, gadroon and plain edges, in light and full patterns of the newest make, rivalling China in delicacy of colour and elegance of patterns…”
–Ironstone advertisement in The London Morning Herald | April 1, 1828
Notably, a variety of marks distinguish authentic Mason’s ironstone wares, demonstrating they were designed and registered by the manufacturer. Twenty-two such distinct marks have been cataloged for Mason’s ironstone produced between 1813 and after 1950.
New Orleans Auction Galleries is delighted to offer a selection of Mason’s ironstone, including pieces personally selected for a prominent Houston estate by Denning & Fourcade, Inc., the illustrious interior design firm founded by Robert Denning and Vincent Fourcade in 1960.
Among these are several Mason’s ironstone lamps featuring custom shades by Denning & Fourcade, a large vase in Mason’s desirable “Flying Bird” pattern, and a pair of potpourri urns in the rare “Double Landscape” pattern, among other exceptional items – all sourced by Denning & Fourcade from Valerie Howard, one of the world’s most recognizable dealers of Mason’s ironstone.

Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolaevna (1825-1844) was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas I. Upon her betrothal to Prince Frederick William of Hesse (1820ñ1884), the only son of Prince William of Hesse and Princess Louise Charlotte of Denmark, in 1843, the Tsar commissioned an extravagant silver service for his daughter’s dowry from Finnish-born master Carl Johann Tegelsten. The couple were married at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg on January 28, 1844. Unfortunately, “Adini” (as she was affectionately known) had contracted tuberculosis shortly before, and died in August of the same year during premature childbirth at the tragically young age of 19. The bulk of the service is today in the Schloss Fasanerie in Eichenzell, Germany, founded in 1951 by Philipp Landgrave of Hesse (1896ñ1980) to conserve the collection of the House of Hesse. Some pieces, however, have appeared at auction; see, for instance, a tureen-on-stand from the service at Christie’s London, November 29, 2010, lot 297; and a bottle cooler, Christie’s London, November 30, 2015, lot 386.

Provenance: Kevin Stone Antiques, The Collection of Kevin Stone & Mark Diamond.
Israel Davie Levi was born in Mannheim, Germany in 1751 into a prominent Jewish family. Upon his marriage to Marianne Aberle, he adopted his wife’s surname and seemingly converted to Christianity. Aberle was a wellrespected furniture, fine art, and objet d’arts dealer whose shop was both popular and lucrative. One of his most significant clients was Duke Karl II of Zweibrucken, whose estate was the famous Karlsberg Castle, which exists today only as ruins.
When plans for an art academy in Mannheim were being proposed, Aberle was named an honorary member of the Decorative Arts Department by the influential Court Historiographer Karl Theodor von Traitteur; Traitteur considered Aberle one of the city’s most respected dealers.
After his death, Aberle’s sons continued the business for decades.

It was impossible for me to shut out from my eyes the works of the great landscape painters which I had so recently seen in Europe, while I knew well enough that if I was to succeed I must produce something new and which might claim to be inspired by my home surroundings. Sure, however, that if I turned to nature I should find a friend.
I hid myself for months in the recesses of the Catskills. But how different was the scene before me from anything I had been looking at for many years! The forest was a mass of decaying logs and tangled brushwood, no peasants to pick up every vestige of fallen sticks to burn in their miserable huts, no well-ordered forests, nothing but the primitive woods with their solemn silence reigning everywhere.
–Worthington Whittredge
A painter of the second generation of the Hudson River School, Whittredge's journey to his ultimate position as a leading American landscape artist of the 19th century was one of dogged determination. He was born in a log cabin by the little Miami River in Ohio in 1820 to a poor farming family that originally hailed from Massachusetts; he was the youngest child by far and the only one born after the family relocated to the midwest. He had virtually no formal education, instead working as a trapper to supplement his family's meager income. At 17, he moved to Cincinnati to learn a trade, apprenticing with his brother-in-law as a house and sign painter. Discovering he had an aptitude for this type of artistic work, Whittredge began to paint portraits, traveling across the country seeking commissions. He was ultimately dissatisfied with the results and, realizing he was more of a colorist than a draughtsman, he turned to landscape painting, training by copying popular prints of the day. By 1864, he had his first landscape painting accepted for exhibition by the National Academy of Design in New York. The then president of the Academy, Asher B. Durand (one of the first generation of Hudson River School artists), recognized the young artist’s talent and sent a personal letter of encouragement to Whittredge.
Cincinnati during these years was a thriving cultural and artistic hub of the United States, and Whittredge had no difficulty in finding patrons and supporters amongst its citizens, most significantly the wealthy and influential Nicholas Longworth. Longworth, along with several other patrons, arranged for numerous commissions for Whittredge to enable him to travel to Europe.
In 1849, Whittredge began what would ultimately be a decade long tour of Europe, spending time in London, Paris, Belgium, Rome and Dusseldorf. While in Dusseldorf, he studied with Emanuel Leutze and Andreas Achenbach of the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf (Dusseldorf Academy of Art), though he was never formally enrolled as a student of the academy. The German-born and Philadelphia-raised Leutze often used the young man as a sitter for his paintings - most notably for George Washington in his epic Washington Crossing the Delaware. It was during this time that Whittredge befriended fellow young artist Albert Bierstadt. This period would prove crucial to his development as a landscape artist.
Upon his return to the United Stated in 1859, he settled in New York City, renting space at the Tenth Street Studio along with such prominent artists as William Haseltine, Winslow Homer, William Merritt Chase, and his old friend from Germany, Albert Bierstadt. Amidst this vibrant creative and supportive community, Whittredge created the landscapes for which he would soon become so lauded. While in France, Whittredge had visited with the Barbizon School artists but was not initially taken with their works; "I liked the spirit of the young men, but I did not think much of their pictures. I think better of them now." Ironically, he was later to incorporate aspects of the Barbizon approach into his paintings, creating works which separated him stylistically from the older artists of the Hudson River School. Deftly combining the techniques he had acquired during his study in Europe - including plein aire painting - with the distinct American geography, the resulting landscapes were more personal and intimate than the grand panoramas of so many of the earlier Hudson River School painters. These works met with immediate critical acclaim and were popular with collectors.
The painting offered here is representative of Whittredge's work just as he was becoming associated with the Hudson River School. It is a small-scale depiction of an unidentified yet recognizably north-eastern American location. The interplay of shadow and light is exceptionally rendered; the center of the composition glows with golden sun-light while the flanking foliage is dappled with areas of bronzy-orange where the rays are attempting to penetrate the barricade of leaves. Interestingly, the central figures of the two boys are to the left of center, in a more shaded area; they are clearly not the true subject of the painting, as the atmospheric landscape dominates.
The recipient of numerous honors and awards, Whittredge was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design in 1860, being named a full Academician in 1862. He would serve as president of the revered institution from 1874-1875. His works are in the permanent collections of such institutions as the Louvre Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

As a teenager, Clarence Millet moved to New Orleans where he apprenticed at an engraving company. Encouraged by the visiting artists Louis Oscar Griffith and Robert Grafton, Millet enrolled at Tulane University and then furthered his studies at the Art Students League in New York City. Returning to the city, Millet became an integral part of the French Quarter Renaissance which was comprised of writers, artists, photographers and musicians who found the bohemian lifestyle and affordable rents of the then run down area appealing.
Although well known for his paintings of the French Quarter, Clarence Millet often painted images of life in rural Louisiana that were reminiscent of his youth in the small community of Hahnville.

In the 1930s and 1940s, New Orleans was marketed as “America’s Most Interesting City” to attract tourists and locals to the French Quarter. Clarence Milletís painting St. Anthony’s Garden and Orleans Street, French Quarter captures the coexistence of both the residential life and tourism in the French Quarter. Locals gather on the plantfilled cast iron balconies while the horse-drawn carriage provided the tourists with a glimpse of life in the 19th century.
Charles Gresham opened his Gresham Gallery next door to the New Orleans Art League located at 630 Toulouse Street in the old Governor Claiborne house. The building was divided into studios and included an art library, scenic courtyard, and gallery. The goal of the Art League was to provide a professional atmosphere where members could work, teach and exchange ideas and constructive criticism. Clarence Millet along with Morris Henry Hobbs, Knute Heldner, Weeks Hall and Gideon T. Stanton were active members. The Gresham Gallery represented many of the Art League artists.

The Springville High School Art Gallery, located in a small Mormon community in Utah, attracted national renowned artists and tens of thousands of visitors to their annual National Spring Salon exhibitions. Founded in 1903, with donations of their artwork by two prominent Utah artists, Cyrus Dallin and John Hafen, the gallery expanded in 1937 with the construction of a new museum building to house their collection and exhibitions. At the dedication, David O. McKay, a leader in the Church of Latter-Day Saints, declared the building “a sanctuary of beauty and a temple of meditation.”
The gallery was later renamed the Springville High School Art Association.
In 1929, the MacBeth Gallery in New York City and Robert C. Vose Gallery in Boston participated in the National Spring Salon by sending works by Robert Henri, Childe Hassam, and Ernest Lawson. Louisiana artist Clarence Millet exhibited at the Springville High School Art Association. In 1940, his painting The Village Church was selected and purchased by Springville Junior High School Eighth Grade Class. Millet’s painting The River: Cloud Shadows on the Mississippi River was included in the annual National Spring Salon exhibition.

20” x 16”, framed 23” x 19”
$1,000-$1,500
In 1885, Ellsworth Woodward moved to New Orleans and joined his brother William Woodward on the nascent art faculty at recently established Tulane University. A talented artist, Woodward studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School, Rhode Island School of Design, and furthered his art education in Munch. When the Sophie H. Newcomb Memorial College for Women was established at Tulane University in 1886, Woodward became a professor of art and later the long- term and influential director of the art school.
Both Woodward brothers encouraged their students to draw inspiration from the local flora and fauna of the south for their paintings, prints, and pottery. In the painting of Spring: Daffodils and Agapanthus, Woodward filled his canvas with a view of the cascading flowers. Woodward would revisit this format in the painting Backyard in Covington with banana trees and branches heavy with oranges, now part of the Laura Nelson Simon Collection at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

The Barbizon Plaza Hotel, prominently situated at the corner of Central Park South and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, was the first residential hotel in the nation that simultaneously served as a center for music and the arts. Opening in 1930, the 38-story building included 1,400 rooms (with private baths), three concert halls, numerous artist studios, exhibition halls, meeting rooms and a library. The architect and designer of the structure was Lawrence Emmons, who worked with the architectural firm of Lloyd Morgan and Murgatroyd & Ogden. In keeping with the purpose of the hotel, the decorative panels that ornamented the façade referenced the arts. After the structure was purchased by Donald Trump in the 1980s, it underwent significant restoration, and the art deco elements were stripped. Jim Elkins of Lost City Arts, the prominent New York gallerist who specialized in important architectural salvage, saved the panels from destruction. The panels offered here Painter and Musician adorned the 20th and 21st floors respectively.

I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. I knew at that point I had to have a camera.
–Gordon Parks
One of Gordon Parks’ most well-known and lauded images, American Gothic was a direct result of the rampant racism of 1940s Washington, D.C. In 1942, the young photographer was awarded a Rosenwald Fellowship which afforded him the opportunity to apprentice at the Farm Security Administration (FSA) photography program. Relocating from Chicago to D.C., Parks experienced an appalling degree of racism that astonished even him. Discovering no one even willing to talk with him, much less allowing him to take photographs, the young man resolved to look within the local African American community. He began a conversation with one of the office’s cleaning ladies, Ella Watson, who eventually agreed to allow him access to herself and her neighborhood. Over the course of weeks, Parks followed Watson to her home, church, and work, documenting various aspects of African American life in the region. The culmination was a powerful series, a strong indictment of the position and plight of the African American in 1940s society. By posing Watson against an American flag, mop in one hand and broom in the other, looking directly into the camera, Parks simultaneously references and reinterprets the iconic Grant Woods painting of the same name.

FRANK FLEMING
(ALABAMA, 1940-2018)
Alabama artist Frank Fleming’s imaginary, playful and often humorous ceramics and cast bronzes reflected both his childhood of living on a farm surrounded by animals and his inspiration found in the 1970s funk art movement in California which challenged traditional artistic forms and conventions
Born in Bear Creek, Fleming was the fifth of seven children to illiterate tenant farmers who raised corn and cotton. As a child, he was teased by his school mates due to his severe stuttering. To escape their taunts, he found companionship with animals and said he felt more comfortable with animals than people as a child. After graduating from high school, Fleming was awarded a scholarship to Florence State College by Alabama Easter Seals with the intention that he could receive intensive speech therapy.
Initially attracted to biology, Fleming began taking elective art classes that would change his focus and foster his interest in becoming an artist. While pursuing graduate degrees in art at the University of Alabama, he became aware of California ceramic artists Peter Voulkos and David Gilhooly. As leaders and mentors of the California funk art movement, Voulkos encouraged a more experimental approach to ceramics by embracing an abstract style and nonfunctional aspect to ceramics while Gilhooly pushed boundaries with his humorous and provocative pieces.
For his ceramic pieces, Fleming preferred working with porcelain, particularly Tennessee porcelain. His ceramic pieces are hand built, with each piece evolving during the creative process. At first, he used traditional colorful glazes, but he developed a preference for using clear glazes over white porcelain. Eventually, he found the unglazed pieces to have more interesting and accessible texture and as illustrated in the hand decorated and incised Cherish Your Friends piece.
Fleming began to explore the process of casting bronzes. He combined the traditional lost wax process of bronze sculpture with his innovative subjects and approach. The bronzes proved to be more durable and accessible for public spaces and commissions.
Fleming’s works often center around blending human and animal forms into anthropomorphized animals. His sense of humor and whimsy permeate his work as illustrated in the bronze Bird-Man which combines a human face on a body supported by one legged large web claw. His enduring relationship with animals and nature are reflected in the cast bronze of Nesting Bird. The bird peacefully sits upon a nest that ironically placed only on three raised sticks. The iconic large scale Rabbit-Turtle-Frog cast bronzes combines some of Flemings’s favorite animals in an imaginative and precarious arrangement. A bronze sculpture from this series is on display in Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
Born and raised in the south, Fleming preferred to live and create in his native Alabama. Alabama would prove to celebrate his creative spirit and commissioned his bronze sculptures for the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, Stephens Center, Till Fountain at Montgomery Museum of Art, Birmingham Gardens, and Aldridge Gardens.
The sculptural fountain The Storyteller was conceived as a memorial to Malcolm McRae, a Birmingham art dealer and anthropologist specializing in pre-Columbian art, who died tragically young. McRae had turned his home in the Five Points South neighborhood into the Signature House Gallery. McRae's grieving mother, Jane McRae, and his friends initially envisioned a garden to memorialize her son, which would morph into a fountain with commissioned sculptures by Alabama artist, Frank Fleming.
Initially, Fleming planned to create a “peaceful kingdom” with the central figure of a lion surrounded by animals in the formation of a five-pointed star listening attentively to the storyteller. As the work progressed, Fleming made the decision to have the central figure become an anthropomorphized figure of a ram-man, which symbolized McRae.
As part of the commission, Fleming created several versions of the central figure for the selection committee. This porcelain maquette of Storyteller featured a nude anthropomorphized figure of ram-man seated on a tree stump with his head and hands raised to the sky. The maquette was reviewed by the committee but eventually rejected. The selected version of the ram-man is fully clothed with a book and staff in his hands looking towards his audience of animals.
Flemings' Storyteller sculptural installation was beset with controversary with some believing it contained satanic or pagan messages. At one point the city's public works department inexplicably painted the sculptures a bright blue; they were eventually repainted. The Five Point South neighbors affectionately refer to the ram-man figure as “Bob” and see him as a kindred spirit.

Don Eddy (American, b. 1944)
“Motus Orbicularis”, 1997
acrylic on wood panel nine panels within an integral framework, with a “Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York” label en verso. overall 52-1/2” x 62-1/2”
$15,000-$25,000
Provenance: Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York, New York; Private collection.
Since 1990, a distinguishing feature of Don Eddy’s work has been his experimental use of format to explore the nature of representational art. Drawing inspiration from Medieval altarpieces, Eddy combines multiple canvases to create diptychs, triptychs, and polyptychs. Each canvas is overtaken by imagery that ranges from the micro to the macro, including scenes of nature, light, and humanity, which evoke juxtaposing themes of change and timelessness. As a master of representational art, Eddy employs a meticulous creative process involving three layers of underpaint: the first layer consists of tiny circles painted in phthalocyanine green to establish the values, while the second and third layers are painted with burnt sienna and dioxazine purple paints to distinguish the warm and cool tones. This meditative process produces hyper realistic depictions, imbuing the work with a spiritual quality that invites the viewer to contemplate the depth of the presented images.
Motus Orbicularis is a monumental polyptych comprised of nine interconnected panels. At its center is a landscape, bordered by various scenes of human connection, animals, fire, and architectural details. As the conversation between the interwoven images intensifies, it emphasizes the dynamism of experience and the relationship between human society and nature. This openended reflection encourages the viewer to engage with the piece and consider their personal narratives in relation to the harmony and balance of all living things.

My paintings deal very strongly with both realism and fantasy in a completely successful way, in my opinion.
–Noel Rockmore, 1961
By the time Noel Rockmore started to make visits to New Orleans in the 1960s, he had already received critical acclaim as an artist and was represented by Harry Salpeter Gallery in New York City. In an act of characteristic rebellion, he moved to New Orleans to live in “creative obscurity” and changed his last name from Davis to his mother's maiden name of Rockmore.

Howard Finster (American, 1916-2001)
“Leopard”, 1984
carved and painted wood signed, dated, and inscribed in several places recto and verso. 9” x 18”
$800-$1,200
A revivalist Baptist preacher, Howard Finster’s spirituality and faith are integral to his artistic work. He began to receive visions as a young child after the death of his sister, was “born again” at the age of 13 and started preaching at local churches shortly after. In 1976, Finster was inspired to concentrate on creating his painted word sculptures while fixing a bicycle: “One day I was workin’ on a patch job on a bicycle, and I was rubbin’ some white paint on that patch with this finger here, and I looked at the round tip o’ my finger, and there was a human face on it... then a warm feelin’ come over my body, and a voice spoke to me and said, ‘Paint sacred art.’”
Finster employed brightly painted, flat carved wood shapes and almost always incorporated biblical verses, prayers, or personal spiritual incantations to create deeply personal explorations of his beliefs and faith. He wished for the sculptures to be perceived as three-dimensional sermons. Angels, animals and cultural icons populate his art and through whatever means available, Finster’s ultimate intention was to spread the word of the Lord.

In an act of characteristic rebellion, he moved to New Orleans to live in “creative obscurity” and changed his last name from Davis to his mother's maiden name of Rockmore.
In the painting The Park (Stages of Life), Noel Rockmore pondered the past, present and future stages of life. The present was embodied by the young woman painted in full color. Painted sketchily in white, Rockmore included a group of children at play on a swing set symbolizing the woman’s youth, while the older woman walking alongside represents her as a mature woman.

An established artist and celebrated educator, Diego Larguia is a New Orleans based artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. After moving to the United States in 1991, Larguia studied with Don Anderson and Phil Sandusky, and refined his skills with drawing and painting. Taking inspiration from artists such as Sargent and Monet, his painterly landscapes are all painted en plein air, titling works after the locations in which they were painted. The compositions are filled with light, often underscored by Larguia’s remarkable draftsmanship, and imbued with expressive color and texture. A fixture of the New Orleans art scene for over twenty-five years, his work has been exhibited widely throughout the region including the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Mississippi, as well as numerous private and corporate collections.

Her style is quite individual, not too detailed and yet not too sketchy, naturalistic, yet far from photographic in any degree. She has a deep understanding in respect to the construction of figures and a high consideration for composition, which is particularly manifest when she discusses with her brushes a large group... Her canvases have great pictorial and decorative value and what artists know as technique has with her attained a point of actual brilliance.
C.H. Bonte, The Philadelphia Enquirer, 1928
Employing a palette of rich, bright colors, bold brushstrokes, and with the unexpected inclusion of gray tones and black pigment, Martha Walter emphasized shapes and the interplay of light and shadow rather than relying on the purely figurative. Her beach scenes were especially popular, and the work offered here is an exceptional example of her complex, yet immediately recognizable, compositions with the huddled figures in the foreground beneath their vibrantly hued tents, the gray-tinged clouds roiling in the sky above. Walter was acclaimed throughout her career for her plein air compositions.
Walter's academic art training incorporated the best that America and France had to offer. She studied under William Merritt Chase at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where she won numerous awards including the prestigious Toppan prize and was the first recipient of the Cresson award (quite an accomplishment for a woman at the time), which was a twoyear travel scholarship which afforded her the opportunity to travel to Europe. She spent some time in France where she attended the Academie Julien and was inspired by the great plein air painter Eugen Boudin (1824-1898).
Upon her return to the United States, Walter settled in the art colony of Gloucester, Massachusetts. She exhibited widely throughout her life, including the National Academy of Design, the Corcoran Gallery Biennials, Paris Salon, and the Salon d'Automne.

Provenance: The Estate of Mildred Paine Wilson, wife of Robert E. Lee Wilson III of Wilson, Arkansas.
This set was likely acquired by Robert “Roy” Edward Lee Wilson, Jr. and his wife Natalie (Armstrong) Wilson, possibly on their honeymoon tour of Europe in 1912, where they fell in love with all things European, particularly French aesthetics. This trip’s profound impact on the Wilsons prompted them, on their return to their home, to rebuild the town’s square in Wilson, Arkansas, revising the facades of the town square buildings to match the Tudor/European architecture they so admired on their honeymoon. At the time, the town construction was nearing completion by its founder, Roy’s father, Robert Edward Lee Wilson. “Boss Lee” (as the senior Wilson was known) was a phenomenon in the Delta cotton business, transforming 400 acres of inherited swamp land into more than 65,000 contiguous acres of fertile cotton plantation - the largest in the South at the time.
After Roy’s wife Natalie’s death in 1974, the set passed to their son Robert “Bob” Edward Lee Wilson III (1913-1987), who continued the family’s prominence in the Delta cotton trade. On New Year’s Eve 1961, he married Mildred “Millie” Martin Paine, the widow of Robert Paine, editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Bob died in 1987, and Millie earlier this year in Paragould, Arkansas at the age of 95. The Wilson family is foundational in the Arkansas Delta and is greatly admired for their vision, devotion, generosity, and commitment to education. Their daughters are pleased to offer the current lot to a new generation of collectors.

$7,000-$10,000
Provenance: Hammer Galleries, New York, New York; Marjorie F. Shushan Estate, New Orleans, Louisiana.
New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to announce the inclusion of "Etudes des Paysannes" in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonne of Drawings by Camille Pissarro.
The 1880s were perhaps the most artistically experimental decade of Camille Pissarro’s career, as he moved away from the traditional Impressionist landscape painting for which he was celebrated. Instead, he returned his attention to themes of his early work and began creating large figural works depicting peasant life. During this period of experimentation, Pissarro began to use more unified brushwork along with carefully controlled strokes of pure color, leading him to explore various media, such as drawing, watercolor, and gouache in preparation for his paintings.
Pissarro often returned to the motif of agrarian women engaged in everyday chores during this time, using preparatory drawings and watercolors like Etudes des Paysannes. His depictions were decidedly not political, contrasting with his contemporaries, who often represented peasants’ work as exceedingly laborious. Instead, Pissarro alternated between illustrating his peasants completing simple chores or resting after a long day, attempting to capture what he observed firsthand when he relocated to the French countryside with his family. This was his intention, to educate French city-dwellers of the realities of peasant life through the lens of a neutral observer, which would later be described by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1882 as “revolutionary.”
Pissarro’s “revolutionary” intent is exemplified in the present lot by the figures’ traditional dress, including modest blouses tucked into long skirts and classic headscarves. While the figures are not tied to any specific painting, they are portrayed as perhaps foraging in a kitchen garden, as Pissarro produced several paintings with this subject matter during this period. Etudes des Paysannes likely served as a study for numerous paintings over the course of the decade, as Pissarro expanded his interest in experimental figural work.
Since Pissarro's death in 1903, his influence and legacy have only expanded, inspiring various artistic movements. Unfortunately, this visibility left his work vulnerable to looting by Nazi Germany during World War II, and several works were lost. The discovery, authentication, and offering of Etudes des Paysannes here is an exciting development in the excavation of Pissarro’s long career, as well as an important addition to the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonne of Drawings by Camille Pissarro. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to present Etudes des Paysannes.

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 [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 12% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and
(iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form.
(b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction. Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer.
(c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card.
(d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or antiterrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction.
(e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.
(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.
