Light powerfully influences the way we perceive the world around us. Throughout history, this relationship and fascination with light has been expressed in a variety of ways, most notably through art and architecture.
Impressionist painters explored the transformative qualities of light through its effects on color and objects at different times of the day. Similarly, in literature, descriptors of light have long been used to evoke a certain mood or emotion. The ancient Greeks also made use of light’s luminous qualities to breathe life into marble sculptures.
In the 1960s and ‘70s, lighting design became more experimental in form and function, and a critical element in itself, influenced largely by cultural movements and technological advancements. One artist, the iconic Dan Flavin, used widely available fluorescent lights to create evocative, colorful, three-dimensional light works.
Inspired by this notion of light as an element of design – its existence (or lack thereof) just as much as an actor in a space as any piece of art – our team set out to cast items included in this auction in a new light.
Fittingly, the colorful and striking backdrop to this catalogue, Lengua Madre, was inspired by the famed Mexican architect Luis Barragán, a master of light and color. Using stark lines, bright colors and intentional lighting, this vibrant omakase-style Mexican restaurant in the Lower Garden District has created a unique and surprising modern oasis that’s in stark contrast with the building’s unassuming exterior (in addition to its incredible aesthetic, Lengua Madre is also one of the South’s best restaurants, and its Executive Chef, Ana Castro, is a nominee for the 2023 “Best Chef in the South” award by the James Beard Foundation).
The vibrant space set the stage for showcasing some of this auction’s select items, from antique furniture to sculpture, in unexpected ways.
In keeping with this light-infused theme, we are delighted to offer the estate of beloved illumination artist and design consultant, Dean Coe. Dean opened Leitmotif Designs in 1982, a first-of-itskind high-tech lighting design gallery in New Orleans. Keen on utilizing light to create dramatic juxtapositions in line and style, he incorporated modern lighting into the city’s traditional 19thcentury architecture by creatively illuminating the elaborate plasterwork and high ceilings.
Our May Estates Auction takes place May 20-21 at 10 a.m. each day. Exhibition opens Monday, May 8, and continues through Friday, May 19. The gallery is open Monday-Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
As you browse the nearly 800 lots in this sale, I encourage you to consider how each may be transformed by light. I hope that in doing so, you will be illuminated by a new perspective.
See you at the auction,
Taylor Eichenwald Assistant Director
“One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find.”
– DAN FLAVIN
SHOT ON LOCATION AT:
Nominee: 2023 Best Chef of the South, Ana Castro
Illumination artist, design consultant and beloved New Orleans retailer, Dean Coe, was passionate about the role of light as an instrument of design.
After training as a theatrical lighting designer, Coe pursued a career in the theater, but after spending a year lighting sets and actors’ faces in New York City, he deemed that lifestyle was not for him.
Coe eventually settled in New Orleans, where he served as a maitre d’ until saving enough money to open up the shop of his dreams – a high-tech lighting design gallery that would become a beloved staple of New Orleans’s Warehouse District.
Leitmotif Designs opened in 1985 on Pirates Alley in the French Quarter before moving into a storefront on Julia Street, providing a well curated modern selection of furniture and lights, each item meticulously selected and predicated by Coe’s personal taste and penchant for practicality.
More than a retailer, Coe served as a design consultant for his clients, assisting them in selecting the best lighting scheme to bring their room or house to life.
With his theatrical training, Coe was particularly keen on utilizing light to create dramatic juxtapositions in line and style. Dean worked closely with many interior designers, including Jon Vaccari, to masterfully light countless interiors.
Coe’s use of the opposing qualities of light and dark to create design also informed his personal choice of art. With a contrasting love for the modern and the antique, Coe was drawn to local Louisiana Primitive folk pieces. Over time, he amassed a significant collection, filling his home with contemporary and antique sculpture, painting and furniture.
An ongoing learner passionate about design, he enrolled in the Savannah School of Art and Design (SCAD) during his mid-life years.
NOAG is honored to present items from the Estate of Howell Dean Coe III, including lighting by Gae Aulenti and Ettore Sottsass for Stilnovo, fine art and more.
Gae Aulenti lamp from Leitmotif; interior design by Dean Coe Interior design by Dean Coe with furnishings from Leitmotif“I don’t care if a fixture is traditional or super-modern, but I do know if it will give the correct light. I prefer high-performance lamps – and most of these are ultra-modern. They simply offer the best light.”

Clementine Hunter (American/Louisiana, 1886/87-1988)
“Flight into Egypt”, 1957
oil on board
initialed “C H” mid right, and accompanied by a letter from The Melrose Library with provenance, typewritten note dated April 18th, 1957 with title and description of painting, and printed biography of Clementine Hunter en verso. 47-3/4” x 44”, framed 53 1/4” x 49-1/2”
Provenance: John Hampton and Carmelite “Cammie” Garrett Henry, Melrose Plantation, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana; Joseph M. Henry, Sr., Natchitoches, Louisiana; Gasperi Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana.
$20,000-$40,000
The African American self-taught artist Clementine Hunter spent most of her adult life working, initially in the cotton fields and then in the kitchen, for the Henry family at Melrose Plantation. Cammie Henry welcomed artists, writers and photographers for extended stays at her home on the Cane River. The contact with the artists encouraged Hunter to “mark” her own pictures. She achieved acclaim for her paintings, which documented the daily life at Melrose Plantation and her religious beliefs.
The large-scale painting “Flight into Egypt” offered here reflects Clementine Hunter’s imaginative ability to create a narrative story. The painting depicts Mary and infant Jesus riding on a mule with Joseph leading the way. In the Gospel of Matthew , an angel appears to Joseph and warns him of King Herod’s fear of the birth of an infant who would be a king of the Jews and the resultant planned Massacre of the Innocents. The angel instructed Joseph to flee to Egypt with his family. Hunter painted three African American angels flying above the family providing protection and inspiration, and a red bleeding cross in the sky which alluded to the eventual crucifixion of Jesus. In the upper right, Hunter painted three pyramids referring to the family’s safe arrival in Egypt.
In the lower right corner, Hunter included an African American man “tipping his derby to the Queen of Heaven”. The figure appears to have been inspired by the bronze statue of “Uncle Jack” that was erected in downtown Natchitoches, which is alluded to in the typewritten note on the back of the painting. The statue, depicting an elderly African American man bowing and tipping his hat, was sculpted by Hans Schuler, commissioned by Jackson Lee Bryan, a local banker and cotton planter, and placed prominently on Front Street in 1927. The New York Times and The Boston Globe ran stories at the time about the statue, praising the progressiveness of the white citizens of Natchitoches for erecting a monument to the African American community. By the late 1960s, the statue became controversial and was no longer perceived as appropriate, removed by the city, and eventually donated to the LSU Rural Life Museum.
The painting “Flight into Egypt” is one of a series of murals Hunter created for the interiors of Melrose Plantation, which included the Africa House, Ghana House, Hunter’s living quarters and the shop where she sold her art as well as many of the public and private rooms throughout the property.

When Enzo Ferrari had the opportunity to meet with Baracca in 1923, the Count suggested he adopt the image as a symbol of good luck. Ferrari was to include the small black horse on all of his racing cars and then, eventually all the cars produced by his eponymous auto manufacturing company.

Provenance: Galerie Simonne Stern, New Orleans, Louisiana; Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Literature: Cecily Brown, “Jacqueline Humphries”, BOMB, No. 107 (Spring, 2009), pp. 22-31.
$50,000-$80,000
The work offered here is from Humphries’ early period, shortly after the completion of her art training and two years before her significant solo exhibition at the newly formed Greene Naftali Gallery in New York. Her dogged determination and persistence as a woman artist from the South working in New York in an abstract manner cannot be stressed enough; she was attending art school at a time when abstraction was moving away from the painterly and few women were working in the style.
The large-scale canvases she was creating at this time are carefully and intentionally composed works which simultaneously reference and toy with the tenets of Abstract-Expressionism. Here she has chosen a limited palette of creams, tans, browns in thickly applied layers to form a vertical composition that delicately nudges the viewer’s eye along the drips and droplets rendered in dense inky black.
Humphries’ large-scale lyrical canvases demand an active viewer; as the artist once stated about her work, “I like the unstable situation that depends on the light and the viewer both moving around.”

The identity of the maker who used the mullet (an heraldic star) enclosed by a crescent has been a subject of speculation for nearly a century. That it appeared in several different designs over 80 years, from the mid-16th century to the 1630s, and almost exclusively on a great number of spoons, makes it certain that it was not used by one maker, but rather by a succession of specialist spoonmakers. Most scholars agree the likeliest candidate is the Woolsack, Cheapside shop founded by Nicholas Bartholomew around 1545, and that Bartholomew himself might have used the mark (though another mark - NB conjoined - is attributed to him). It was likely next the mark of his apprentice Patrick Brue, who himself had six apprentices between 1575 and 1605, among them William Cawdell who assumed the Woolsack premises, using a similar mark with a crescent enclosing a “W”. Another Brue apprentice, John Lovejoy, was probably the next user of the crescent and mullet mark while working for Cawdell. Lovejoy died in August 1612, and by 1625 his son William Lovejoy was leasing the Woolsack from Cawdell, having received freedom by patrimony in 1621. It is likely, then, that the mark in the form as used on the spoon in the present lot - the crescent and mullet within a scalloped shield - was that used by William Lovejoy after the death of his father; he would have been permitted, as noted by Piers Percival, to have used a mark before his freedom as long as he traded through the offices of a goldsmith who enjoyed the freedom of the city, i.e. Cawdell. The attribution to William Lovejoy is bolstered by the strange absence of the mark on spoons from 1627 onwards, and reappearing around 1638. It is now known that Lovejoy was in prison during some of this time, having appealed for financial relief in 1629 during his incarceration “in the compter in Wood Street”. He may or may not be the William Lovejoy buried on August 23, 1643, in St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster.

Henry Boyle (1682-1764) had served as speaker of the Irish House of Commons for twenty-three years when he and England's incumbent viceroy in Ireland, the Duke of Dorset, reached an impasse over whether excess Irish revenue were to be under the control of Ireland or England. The Duke tried to remove Boyle as speaker, but Boyle refused to accept dismissal. The matter was not resolved for two years until the appointment in 1756 of a new viceroy and Boyle's agreement, in return for elevation to the peerage, to step down as speaker, in which role he was replaced by John Ponsonby (1713-1787). Any animosity between Boyle, now the Earl of Shannon, and his successor Ponsonby was settled by December 15th 1763, when the Earlís son Richard married Ponsonby's daughter Catharine.
Almost exactly one year later, Robert inherited the Earldom, and the family estates, upon the death of his father. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Richard was a Privy Councilor when he became the second Earl and would later serve as Muster-Master-General of the Irish military, and joint Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. He was a supporter of English rule and was rewarded for his loyalty with a Barony in the English peerage in 1786. He fell from favor during the Regency Crisis of 1788, when King George III's mental illness made him unable to officially open parliament, bringing the government to a standstill. The Earl challenged Prime Minister Pitt's attempts to establish a Regency, but he did not remain in exile for long, returning as a Privy Councilor and appointed First Lord of the Irish Treasury in 1793. His support of English rule would culminate in his support for the Act of Union in 1800, which created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Richard and his wife Catharine had two children, Catherine (1768-1815), later Countess of Bannon, and Henry (1771-1842), who would succeed his father as the 3rd Earl of Shannon in 1807. The letters of Richard Boyle to his son Henry were published in 1982 as Lord Shannon’s Letters to his Son

This unusual set illustrates the long tradition of modifying jewelry to conform to current fashion. The earrings here, for instance, probably began as sprays on a late Georgian corsage brooch set “en tremblant” - fitted on tiny springs so that they would tremble and glitter in the candlelightlater adapted to earrings with modern “omega” backs. The brooch, too, was probably from a similar, but slightly later corsage brooch or stomacher. The necklace was almost certainly the central part of a convertible suite which would have included an intricate frame to which it could be mounted and worn as a tiara, as well as a diamond-set chain to extend it for wear as a necklace (the current chain likely an early 20th-century replacement).

Literature: Listed and illustrated in Louisiana Portraits, ed. by Mrs. Thomas Bruns, The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Louisiana, 1975, p. 97.
$8,000-$12,000
Irish immigrant Christopher Ryan settled in Ohio in 1832 and married Mary Boyce, the sister of Federal Judge Henry Boyce of Rapides Parish, Louisiana, who was appointed by President Zachary Taylor. Their daughter Anna Catherine Ryan married John Carson Febiger of Pittsburgh in 1849. During the Civil War, Febiger served as an Admiral for the Union forces, and on May 5, 1865, participated in the naval
battle with the Confederate ram CSS Albemarle off the coast of North Carolina. Admiral Febiger was commended for his “gallantry and skill” during the battle.
Born in Paris, France, Sophie Gengembre Anderson studied painting briefly in 1843 with Alexandre Joseph Steuben. Despite only having minimal formal training, Anderson became an accomplished portrait and genre painter.
Looking to avoid the unrest following the French Revolution, the Gengembre family moved in 1849 to America and settled in Cincinnati. While living in Cincinnati, Anderson earned portrait commissions from prominent families in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The family then moved to Manchester, Pennsylvania, where Sophie married the British artist, Walter Anderson. By 1854, the couple had moved to England.
Evidently, it was during her time in America that Anderson painted the portrait of “Anna Catherine Ryan Febiger.” The young bride was painted seated in an interior setting beside a table of books reflecting that she was well educated. Anderson signed the painting in the signatures of the middle book.

The use of metal in marquetry inlay was a popular element in the furniture of New York City Aesthetic movement makers. Inspired by Eastern and Far Eastern mixed metalwork, it was increasingly employed by Pottier & Stymus around 1876-77, and other makers such as Herter Brothers, Herts Brothers and Charles Tisch soon followed suit. Rather than the Eastern inlay motifs favored by firms such as Pottier & Stymus, Herter Brothers and George Schastey, this cabinet employs swag and ribbon marquetry of neoclassical inspiration. Herts Brothers, Neuman & Company and Charles Tisch more frequently utilized neoclassical-style metal with wood and/ or mother-of-pearl inlay in their work. The inlaid brass and wood swags on the present piece share the use of large-scale brass flowers with a well-known cabinet by Charles Tisch now in the Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. That cabinet was exhibited at the 1884 New Orleans Cotton Exhibition where it was awarded first prize.

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.

(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.

(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.
