Letter from the Director of Fine Art During the third annual Global Auction House Summit, held in early February in Paris, I snuck away one afternoon to the nearby Musée de l’Orangerie. I last visited this renowned gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings nearly 10 years ago and have wanted to get back ever since. There is something moving about those two oval rooms, a “temple” dedicated to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, that make one feel cocooned and afloat in the artist’s world.

I think what draws me to these seemingly abstract panels, with their watery colors offset by bursts of blooming reds and yellows, is they represent the determination to create beauty even during the most challenging times. Monet painted more than 250 water lily panels during the final 30 years of his life, and many were completed while the artist suffered from cataracts. The effects of the degenerative eye disease affected his use of color and brush stroke application, resulting in a blurred, “abstract” style of work evident in the paintings housed in Musée de l’Orangerie.

That afternoon, as I set on a bench in the center of one of the rooms, I started reflecting on Monet’s struggle with his deteriorating eyesight and how he continued to creating despite this crippling obstacle. I, of course, had my notebook with me and felt compelled to start writing. As I considered Monet’s challenges, I couldn’t help but think about the barriers facing other artists, specifically women.

Throughout history, female artists have struggled to carve out a place for themselves at the same table as their male counterparts. As Monet’s fight against his disease did not stop him from creating, women artists did not stop painting just because the critics and galleries did not recognize them in the same way as male peers (just because we used “male counterparts" in the previous sentence – again, lovely.)

Male artists have dominated the auction rooms and museums, but in the last few years, women artists have seen a rise in recognition and sales results, especially Abstract Expressionist works. Still, women represent only two percent of the auction market. As this trend continues to grow in the secondary market, I think it speaks volumes that The Baltimore Museum of Art recognized this lack of representation and recently pledged to collect works by only female artists in 2020. That the announcement was viewed as provocative by some underscores the struggles many of female artists undoubtedly faced in Monet’s time (and to some extent still do) by their peers and critics as they were creating these works.

So perhaps we will see greater change within the next decade. In the meantime, we have decided to honor The Baltimore Museum of Art’s bold effort and dedicate a session within this catalogue to works by women, presenting a wide range of sculptures and paintings from early 20th-century American Impressionists, such as Martha Walter, to Abstract sculptor Louise Nevelson.

Another new addition to our July Fine Art Auction is the inclusion of works under $1,000. We believe it is important to offer quality artwork for collectors at all stages of life and to offer work by artists who are established, but do not necessarily have an extensive sales history on the secondary market.

A desire to collect is not tied to monetary value. On the contrary, it is born out of a need to experience more than what we see and do in our ordinary day-to-day lives, and New Orleans Auction Galleries wants to foster that desire and make it more accessible to achieve.

I will leave you with a quote by Claude Monet I think perfectly explains what it means to look at art: “Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.” I invite you to flip through the pages of this catalogue and find something that you love.

Framed.

51-1/2” x 76-1/2”, framed 57-1/2” x 82-3/4” $10,000-$15,000

Raymond Douillet-Chevoleau has long been acclaimed for his meticulous brushwork enhanced by layers of smooth varnish, his deep, rich color palette reminiscent of that of the Renaissance masters, his painstaking attention to detail, and his masterful composition. Rife with symbolism, his paintings reference everything from classical mythology, ancient mystery cults, alchemy and pop culture, and, additionally, frequently toy with word play and double entendre. His works, though gratifying on a purely aesthetic level, require an intellectual curiosity on the part of the viewer to be truly appreciated. The painting offered here includes in its title alone allusions to the French sculptor Aristide Maillol and his most famous work “The Three Graces”, representations of which flank the main scene. The three central figures are indicative of the initiation rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries and are a nod to the early 20th-century advertisements for the French/Spanish enamel company, Ripolin. The term blaireautage refers to the artistic technique which employs the use of soft-haired brush (historically badger) to smooth the traces of brushstrokes.

Douillet-Chevoleau is a longtime member of the prestigious Salon des Artistes Francais and the Salon d’Automne.

“We are used to observing ourselves from both inside and outside our bodies simultaneously. Baroque painting dealt with these out-of-body sensations as religious experiences, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes terrifying; today we live such experiences, often unexamined, through images on screens, as a part of our everyday lives.” - David Reed For more than 40 years, David Reed has pushed the boundaries of painting. Working in broad horizontal and sometimes vertical formats that recall contemporary film screens and celluloid strips, he explores interior/exterior and positive/negative spaces through an expressionist fluid form.

Working wet into wet through broad and looping strokes, especially through the monotype media, he is able to explore light, speed and gestural tension through the forces of the process that bi-sect the picture plane and press pigment from a glass or acrylic refractive surface onto paper, creating alternative perspectives of light and space. Reed’s works have been exhibited extensively in Germany, Zurich and New York with a recent, impressive exhibit at Gagosian in New York, where his works have been represented through the years.

The courtyard of the Historic New Orleans Collection, then the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans, is one of the most iconic courtyards in the French Quarter, captured by one of the most important artists, educators, and supporters of Southern Art- William Woodward. Woodward and his brother Ellsworth were formative; they founded and organized numerous schools, buildings and associations, including Newcomb College, the Tulane University campus, the Tulane School of Architecture, the Art Association of New Orleans and Vieux Carrè Commission. The Woodwards equally championed the Arts and Crafts Club, an embodiment of their legacy that jointly fostered art education and historic preservation. Officially established in June 1922 after the wealthy financier W.R. Irby gifted the Seignouret-Brulatour building at 520 Royal Street to the Club for use as a gallery, club and school, the Club became a beacon for modern art in the South. It offered classes to the public, held meetings/lectures, exhibitions, and balls- the flourishing art center engendered the architectural revival of the French Quarter, which otherwise would have been lost to urban decay in the early 20th century.

The Club’s illustrious faculty, who included Kinsey, Spratling, Millet, Heldner, Alferez, Stevens and Durieux, fostered another prolific generation of Southern artists, namely Crawford, McCrady and Boyd Cruise- the first director of the Historic New Orleans Collection, whose work was commissioned by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in the 1930s to document the architectural heritage of the French Quarter.

In a 1924 letter to the editor of the American Magazine of Art, Woodward lauded the Club for having accomplished a “Renaissance of French Town” through its charter and described the prominent court, he so adeptly captures here, as being centrally located in one of the “best old courtyard buildings where they have a lofty and spacious gallery on level with the court and a stage at one end”. This view of the famous court not only commemorates the Club’s inception, but it is also one of the last architectural paintings Woodward executed in the French Quarter. In 1923 he moved to Biloxi following his untimely fall from a scaffold that left him paralyzed. Some of his last paintings of New Orleans, which likely included this work, were exhibited in a Christmas party retirement homage at Newcomb College that ran for three weeks concurrent with its alumnae sale.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Bob Tannen grew up in a small community at the end of Coney Island. His artistic predilections were apparent early and he spent his free time on the beach, building sand and driftwood sculptures and watching the effects time and the elements had on them. He attended the Brooklyn Museum Art School, The New School of Social Research and the Pratt Institute where he studied industrial design and urban planning. From the beginning, Tanner deftly combined an artistic sensibility with the necessarily practical aspects of environmental planning. As he once stated, “I don’t think it is useful to make a distinction between art and life.” The culmination of this approach is evident in works such as the multi-structure abstracted model of Jackson Square offered here. The various buildings are monochromatic and reduced to their most rudimentary, yet still easily recognizable, elements.

In 1980, the Pan American Life Insurance Company commissioned the Chicago-based architecture firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) to design its $60 million building at 601 Poydras Street. The company’s vision was to incorporate public art spaces into corporate working places, creating a lifeline between the people of Louisiana and its rich cultural heritage. Under the collective guidance of NOMA, the Contemporary Arts Center and Galerie Simonne Stern, SOM’s interior designers - Judy Ridge and Patrick McConnell - purchased more than 200 pieces, including works by Kohlmeyer, Emery, Dunbar, Gordy and Tannen. After seeing a smaller landscape by Dureau in a Chicago catalogue, the interior designers were so impressed that they approached the artist, asking if he could produce an impressionistic largescale landscape representative of Louisiana. Dureau chose three elements rendered in three panels - blue skies, verdant trees and a sandy clearing, and called it an “Invitation to St. Francisville”. At a public opening in the building in 1983, Dureau stated that it was “one of his favorite paintings” - “I get totally passionate over landscapes. Nobody gets angry when I love the trees so much.”

Provenance: William H. Buskirk (1819-1906), Nashville, Tennessee/Bloomington, Indiana - by repute, purchased for his tavern in Nashville, before 1906; by descent to his daughter Amanda (1855-1934) and her husband, Dr. John P. Tourner (1854-1930), Bloomington, Indiana, 1906 to 1934; by descent to his brother, Dr. Francis F. Tourner (1859-1944), Bloomington, Indiana, 1934 to 1944; Bloomington National Bank, Estate of Dr. F. F. Tourner, 1953, no. 49271; Collection of Professor Vergil A. Smith (1900-1970), Bloomington, Indiana; Raymond C. Kilmer (1901-1968), Castleton, New York, thence by descent to his niece.

William McCloskey and his wife Alberta Binford were two prolific American artists in the late 19th century. They collaborated for fifteen years, often painting portraits in tandem, and creating similar still life compositions.

McCloskey, a portrait artist by trade, studied under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before moving West to Denver, Colorado in 1882, where he met Alberta, a gifted autodidactic with a predilection for flowers.

By 1884 they were married and spent the next fourteen years living a nomadic existence, traveling extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe; the true scope of their versatility still eludes art historians as it is reported that Alberta painted numerous genres in twenty-seven states. Between 1884 and 1898 when the couple separated, the McCloskeys spent most of their time on the East and West coasts, with extended sojourns in Paris and London. In Los Angeles in 1884-1885, they received numerous commissions and were pivotal figures in the budding art community. From portraiture to flowers, their paintings innately evoked the verisimilitude of the sitter’s comportment or subject with startling crispness and brilliancy of color that required no additional objects or setting. In France, the celebrated painter Leon Gerome, and mentor of Eakins, was so impressed that he issued a letter of recommendation lauding the “great sense of truth” and “sincere impression of nature” one gets from their oeuvre.

The McCloskey’s work did not receive the same acclaim in New York, where they resided from 1886-1892, though they produced the oeuvre for which they are most renowned still-lifes of wrapped fruit. Los Angeles may have been the epicenter of the booming citrus industry where migrant workers found ample work in orchards, but it was the waxed produce, delicately wrapped in tissue that christened the shop windows of New York that captivated the couple. Oranges and other sub-tropical fruits were expensive, rare commodities given mostly as gifts or during the holidays; the pristine tissue doubling as a gift wrap carefully placed by packaging workers instructed in the intricacies of fruit folding to prevent bruising or soiling. Perhaps nostalgia for California, or fascination with turn-of-the-century commerce drew the McCloskeys to the subject. Whichever the impetus, it inspired them to paint variations of the same composition for almost three decades. Like the painting offered here, each one is a tromp l’oeil masterpiece that delights in tricking the eye through its nuanced play on the same recurring textures - bright, taut fruit (often ensconced in a crisp, crinkled wrapper), the polished hardwood surfaces on which they sit become reflective pools of fruit, and the crushed velvet indigo or sable backdrop.

131 Gorilla Girls Houston (American, 20th Century) “Liberty Leading the People”, 1988 oil on canvas signed “Gorrilla Girls”, localized and dated mid-right, after the 1830 painting by Eugene Delacroix (French, 1798-1863) commemorating the July Revolution.

Unframed.

72” x 84” Provenance: Estate of Hurley Wayne Gray, Houston, Texas. $3,000-$5,000 Literature: Vince Lee, “With Love and Bananas: Houston Gorilla Girls Seek Equality for Female Artists”, Houston History, Vol.10, No. 3, pp. 39-41; Catherine D. Anspon, “The Guerilla Girls Storm a Dallas Gallery”, Paper City, 7 Sept 2018 When racism and sexism are no longer fashionable, what will your art collection be worth?

Guerrilla Girls Talk Back The Guerrilla Girls is an anonymous feminist women’s activist art collective created to increase the awareness of sexism and racism in the art world by protest, performance, billboards, exhibitions and other means. It made its first appearance in 1985 when seven masked women protested in front of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in response to The International Survey of Painting and Sculpture, a major contemporary art exhibition which included 13 women out of 169 artists, and even fewer people of color . The decision to be masked was made to ensure that the issues and not the personalities became the focus. Also, the anonymity afforded the participants a degree of protection from verbal or physical retaliation. While responses were expectedly mixed, the Guerrilla Girls were ultimately successful in their initial goal; their “hits” garnered considerable media attention and brought to the forefront the myriad issues concerning the contemporary art world’s lack of inclusion and representation of women and people of color.

Shortly thereafter, the Guerrilla Girls began to appear in other major cities across the country. The Houston “Gorilla Girls” (they intentionally chose to spell it this way) made their first appearance in 1987 at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. They were soon a fixture at many gallery and museum openings, sponsoring their own exhibitions, performances and creating works to visually address the issues.

The 1988 work presented here is a wryly humorous feminist riff on Delacroix’s famous painting of “Liberty Leading the People”, with the central iconic figure of “Marianne”, the bare-breasted symbol of the French Republic/Democracy here depicted with a gorilla mask.

Archives of the Houston Gorilla Girls are conserved at the Special Collections of the M.D. Anderson Library, University of Houston.

135 Helen Maria Turner (American/Louisiana, 1858-1958) “Portrait of the Artist Nell Pomeroy O’Brien” oil on canvas signed lower right.

Framed.

16” x 12”, framed 22-3/4” x 18-3/4” $3,000-$5,000 Initially exhibiting in 1890 at the Artists’ Association of New Orleans, the accomplished artist Helen Maria Turner went on to earn national acclaim by exhibiting at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Corcoran Gallery, and American Society of Miniature Painters at the National Academy of Design. Turner was the first woman from the south to be elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design, and the third woman nationally. A highlight of her career was inclusion in the “Six American Women” exhibition organized by the St. Louis City Museum; which, in addition to Turner, featured Mary Cassatt, Jane Peterson, Johanna Hailman, Martha Walter and Alice Schille.

At a time when few women achieved success as professional artists, Turner became well acquainted and friends with her female contemporaries. Although she occasionally accepted a commissioned portrait assignment, Turner largely asked her friends and family to be subjects of her paintings. The sitter has been identified as Nell Pomeroy O’Brien (1899-1966), herself a gifted painter and friend of Turner’s; she is painted with her brushes in hand and typically pensive glaze favored by Turner. (New Orleans Auction Galleries would like to thank Terry Simoneaux for the identification.)

When you put things together, things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life - a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created.

-Louise Nevelson

Nevelson built extraordinary collages and assemblages from found objects and deconstructed material that has its roots in her early childhood as a young Jewish immigrant.

Shortly after moving from Russia, her family settled in Maine where Nevelson’s father found work as a woodcutter and lumberyard worker, often bringing home odds and ends of wood for projects or tinder. As a struggling artist in the 1930s, she often scoured the streets of New York with her young son in search of wood. Branches, twigs, spindles, drawers and turned desk legs were amassed collectively and began to take form into abstract shapes and cityscapes that merged the mathematical and geometric properties of Cubist vision/ quest to represent the 4th dimension with the spiritual transcendence of Abstract Expressionism, that led her to the self-proclaimed title: architect of shadow. Nevelson’s mature sculptural work of assemblages, rendered in black, dark colors or shadows, prototypical of the work offered here, explore arrested movement- the monochromatic tones focus the eye on the light created by the natural variations of the wood and objects, rather than the illusion of it.

144

145

These works are the manifestation of a twenty-year sojourn of self- discovery that led her to leave behind a middle class marriage to pursue art through Hans Hoffman in Germany and New York, before entering the studio of Diego Rivera and travelling throughout Mexico and South America where she found inspiration in the Pre-Columbian stellae of the Maya. In Nevelson’s words- “You see shadow and everything else on earth actually is moving. Movement - that’s in color, that’s in form, that’s in almost everything. Shadow is fleeting... and I arrest it and I give it a solid substance.”

When artist Laurie Simmons, known for her wryly clever and often dark artistic explorations of domestic life in miniature, was first approached by Larry Mengel, a former art dealer and the owner of the innovative toy company Bozart, to create a modern take on the dollhouse, she was initially uninterested.

It was only after a fortuitous visit to the Museum of the City of New York where she was on assignment to photograph the legendary Stettheimer Dollhouse with its miniatures by artists such as Alexander Archipenko, George Bellows and Marcel Duchamp, that she understood the potential of the project.

She joined forces with architect Peter Wheelwright, a family friend and chair of the architecture department at Parsons School of Design. The pair envisioned a structure drastically different from anything on the market. Unlike most dollhouses which were accessible from only one side (and occasionally from the top), they wanted to create a house which could be approached from every direction.

The result was a neon delight of a dollhouse, with brightly hued acrylic moving wall panels which change colors as they intersect, modern modular furniture and art by a variety of contemporary artists. Simultaneously playful and innovative, it was an instant hit with children and critics alike and was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim and the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood.

199 George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944-2013) “The Blue Dog Bug”

$30,000-$50,000

George Rodrigue began his nearly decade-long collaboration with the prestigious retailer in 1996, when he was commissioned to create the cover of their men’s catalogue; the single requirement being that the artist incorporate the retailer’s butterfly symbol into the image. The resulting painting, “Butterflies are Free” was such a resounding success, that Rodrigue returned in 1998 with “Hawaiian Blues”, and in 1999 with “The Millennium". 1999 was also the year that the artist painted three fiberglass cows as part of the citywide Chicago Cow Parade charity fundraiser.

The “Blue Dog Bug” by George Rodrigue is an exceptional, one-of-a-kind, hand-painted car, which was a special commission through exclusive retailer Neiman Marcus for their InCircle program.

Neiman Marcus established the InCircle program to reward the most loyal shoppers. The InCircle program has 20 tiers with a top tier of five million points. Over the years, the top rewards have included exclusive trips, experiences and cars.

According to Jacques Rodrigue, the artist’s son, “George Rodrigue rarely lent his artwork for objects and this makes the Blue Dog Bug extremely rare and unique. He and Neiman Marcus partnered on several national promotions during the 1990s and the Blue Dog Bug demonstrates the creativity that the two enjoyed while working together.”

In 2000, Neiman’s InCircle top tier program included the “Blue Dog Bug”. The present owners, intrigued by this work, instantly contacted the retailer in regards to their eligibility; it was the impetus not only for an impressive collection of works

by Rodrigue, but also the beginning of a personal relationship with the artist.

Through Wally Harrison, architect of the Rockefeller Center, Fernand Leger was introduced to Nelson D. Rockefeller, when he and Henri Matisse were commissioned by the magnate in 1938 to paint two spacious fireplaces that Harrison had designed for the New York mansion on 5th Avenue. Leger’s goal was to create an “attractive arrangement of colors” that relate to the “animated landscapes” he exhibited at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York in 1937. In this body of work, Leger explores the interplay between organic forms derived from trees, aloe plants and seaweed with architectural elements innate to the post and lintel structure of the fireplace and rich paneling of the 14th floor livingroom. Leger executed several gouache and card studies for this mural-all slight variations of the study offered here. According to Rockefeller’s recollection, he created the work in situ: “I used to watch Leger in fascination as he painted and the details unfolded.

After he finished, we liked it so much we persuaded him to do additional murals for the circular stairwell and hallways.”

A few of the studies have sold at auction, most recently the 2015 sale at the Hotel des Ventes de Monte Carlo in Monaco, where three studies were prepared on one card. Three other well known studies are conserved at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

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.

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.

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.

Rev. 01/04/17

(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).

Rev. 01/04/17

(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith. (d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). Auctioneer’s discretion. The Auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j). NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.

4. After the Auction (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction - note that there is no discount for LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable bidders) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction.

Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision.

In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or antiterrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.

Rev. 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.

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.

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.
