OCTOBER
Icould not be more thrilled to welcome you to our October Estates Auction, a sale that not only reflects the spirit of collecting, but also offers an exceptional and diverse selection of items—from chic, modern furniture to rare George Ohr pottery and stunning jewelry by David Webb and Cartier.
This diverse sale begins with the Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, a lifelong New Orleanian and prolific collector. Lemann’s collecting journey is quietly reminiscent of one of the greatest American collectors: Louisine Havemeyer, who approached collecting as a lifelong pursuit imbued with a higher purpose.
From his first trip to the Venice Biennale in the 1960s to his musings about emerging artists in the 1990s, Lemann’s travel diaries offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of a brilliant and thoughtful collector experiencing the world and interacting with many of the most renowned dealers and artists of the day.
Much like Havemeyer, Lemann’s meticulous records of his adventures in decades of travel diaries provide academiclike detail of what it was like to experience cities like Paris and London throughout the second half of the 20th century, including amusing anecdotes about interacting with countless characters along the way. We hope you enjoy reading selections from his Travel Diaries throughout the catalogue.
NOAG is honored to offer over 300 lots from the Lemann Estate, including works by Martin Holmgren, Kostas Klouvatos, Gino Mornadis, Pippin Drysdale and Stephen Cox, among many others.
Speaking of aesthetes, we are also delighted to welcome Timothy Corrigan, one of the world’s top interior designers and Architectural Digest ’s “today’s tastemaker,” to our gallery and as a guest editor for this catalogue. Read more about Timothy’s exciting collaboration in the words of NOAG’s CEO, Susan D. Sarofim, in the pages that follow. Our team sat down with Timothy to get his tips on decorating, collecting and buying at auction – as well as his favorite pieces from this sale.
Our October Estates Auction takes place on Saturday, Oct. 14, and Sunday, Oct. 15, beginning at 10 a.m.. Our gallery is open for exhibition October 2 - 13 9a.m. - 5p.m. with a Saturday preview on October 7 from 10a.m. - 3p.m.
Each auction presents a fresh and riveting opportunity for exploration. In that spirit and in the welcoming of a new, transformative season, we hope you will be inspired by the pages that follow.
See you at the auction,
Taylor EichenwaldAssistant Director
“Museums have a history of their own, but how little is known of the making of private collections.”
– Louisine Havemeyer , Memoirs of a Collector
To spend time in a room designed by Timothy Corrigan is much like spending time with the internationally acclaimed interior designer himself. You are immediately stunned by grace and elegance… but in the same turn, eased by an enveloping warmth and unassuming comfort.
Timothy’s boldface name frequently falls on prestigious annual accountings of designing greats including Architectural Digest ’s AD100, the the Luxe Gold List, among many others. But I have the absolute pleasure of calling him my friend. We met out of a shared love of all things beautiful, and I cannot think of any better foundation for creating what I know will be a lifelong connection.
So as New Orleans Auction Galleries proudly and gratefully collaborated with Timothy for the October Estates Auction, I knew it was a chance for you to get to know him a bit beyond the polished press clips and awards.
While Timothy is arguably the end-all authority on home interiors, I can confidently say I am, at least for this purpose, the authority on Timothy. And what I want you to know is that it is true his boundless creativity is the brand that launched fabrics and fixtures and books and candles and rugs and more (please visit his website at Timothy-Corrigan.com). And to have a home designed by him is an aspiration held by countless around the world.
But, more important, what I also want you to know is that he is kind and loyal, both personally and professionally. And he designs with the intention of creating rooms that reflect the ethos of each client, not his own ego (which is all too rare in the world of interiors).
Quite simply, Timothy Corrigan, whether through design or by design, knows how to make you feel at home.
P.S. After a summer away, I’m looking forward to returning to NOAG for the October Estates Auction, Saturday, Oct. 14 and Sunday, Oct. 15. I’ll be on the auction floor and working the phones, so please stop by!

Photography: Richard PowersIf you were given a few minutes to chat with one of your design idols, what would you ask?
You are recognized for, among many things, your passion for incorporating auction finds into your work (which we love!). What does this approach bring to your designs?
I love sourcing furniture and art at auctions! It provides an opportunity to find unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that typically have age and patina, which just can't be achieved with new furniture. The wonderful thing about auction items is that they are examples of items that were popular at different periods throughout history, as opposed to new furniture which is just what is currently trending. Incorporating antiques in a space results in a layered and more complex look.
Can you share a pro tip or two for finding the perfect auction piece?
1) The more you look the more you learn, so I always advise people to spend time visiting auctions and looking at the catalogue either online or in hard copy. By spending this time, you start to see lots of similar items, which ultimately results in finding the special pieces that really stand out. 2) Look carefully at the dimensions because the images can be deceiving. 3) Always request a condition report.
My most favorite auction acquisition is a study that JacquesLouis David did for a monumental painting that is in the Louvre in Paris. David painted three different studies of the central figure in the painting trying to determine exactly what was the best way to depict the emotions of the man. It is an unfinished study and it sheds light into the way the artist actually created his final masterpiece.
Although auctions like ours are full of one-of-a-kind items, scouring sales is often about collecting. What things or categories would we find collected in your home?
I am an inveterate collector. Any object looks more interesting and has more impact when paired with other things in the same category. It allows you to notice the commonalities and differences between each piece. My specific collections include portraits, grand tour objects, paintings and drawings of architectural subjects and porcelain dinnerware.
are comfortable in the way you live and create rooms that don’t communicate “look but don’t touch,” guests and family will feel comfortable too.
Your designs are arguably timeless; however, the design industry is subject to ever-changing whims. What recent trend do you think is here to stay and what trend has passed its prime?
All design is on a pendulum, shifting from one style extreme to another. The clean, sleek mid-century look with its cool grey pallate is, thank heavens now out, and we are seeing a return to more classicism, warm colors, antiques, and more layered interiors.
You have recently unveiled some stunning product lines, including fabrics for Schumacher and bed and table linens with DEA. Can you give us a hint at what exciting venture we can expect from you next?
In the next year, I’ll be launching a new collection of trims for Samuel & Sons; wallpaper and fabrics for Schumacher; fabrics and rugs for Perennials; new linen designs for Dea Italy; and my third book, which will focus on my life and designing in France.
Last question: NOAG is so happy to have you visit New Orleans. Can you tell us what draws you to our beloved Crescent City?
I actually spent the first three years of my life in New Orleans when my father was a professor at Tulane. It is always a great pleasure to return to this beautiful city.

The Mediterranean villa-style home of the late Thomas B. Lemann (19262023), designed by John Lawrence, then the Dean of Tulane Architecture School, was built by Lemann, its first and only owner, in Uptown New Orleans in 1966. In the decades to follow, the house would become the setting of Lemann’s eclectic, ever-growing collection of paintings and sculptures from places and artists from around the world.
Dating from the 1960s to the 2000s and placed upon tiled floors and pedestals, the sculptures represent various mediums, countries of origin and styles and reflect Lemann’s vast travels and art-inspired explorations around the world.
Inside, the home was filled with more sculptures, artwork and decorative objects. From bronzes that resemble puzzles and smooth-surfaced porphyry, to earthy, textured ceramics and brightly colored sculptures, each could’ve easily been used to teach lessons on the historical art movements of the mid to late 20th century.
Lemann’s love for the unexpected was especially evident in an intricately sculptured stack of books, complete with a stone-and-marble envelope that somehow appear soft and lightweight. It’s precisely in this sense of whimsy that Lemann found pleasure: collecting and displaying objects that evoke surprise and playfulness.
From the 1960s pieces he acquired during his first forays into collecting, sparked by his visit to the 32nd Venice Biennale, to the 21st-century earthenware of emerging artists, Lemann’s impressive collection spans a comprehensive and significant timeline of art.
NOAG is honored to present The Estate of Thomas B. Lemann.
It was in 1964, during his first trip to the Venice Biennale–which has held its place among one of the world’s most prestigious cultural institutions–that Lemann’s fascination with and lifelong passion for collecting art began in earnest.
Over the years, during Lemann’s many visits to Venice, he established a rare and impressive collection that reflects his knowledgeable, eclectic interest in art.
Following his initial acquisitions at the Venice Biennale, Lemann immersed himself in the international art community, enthusiastically following the shifting trends and movements of the next half-century. The result is a diverse and richly interconnected collection.
From Scandinavian Modernists like Martin Holmgren, members of the post-war French
Regionalist movement of Ecole de Nice, Venetian spatialist Gino Moranadis, Australian ceramicist Pippin Drysdale and contemporary porphyry sculptures by Stephen Cox, Lemann’s impressive collection (which also includes Sèvres porcelain and faience pottery gifted to the New Orleans Museum of Art) spans a comprehensive and significant timeline.
Inspired by his travels across the world, Lemann also penned copious journal entries, capturing his experiences through his own lens and providing an invaluable snapshot of the places, people and experiences he encountered along the way.
Lemann’s keen and descriptive writing provides an intimate glimpse into this consummate collector’s journey, as he explored and learned about the world around him, quenched his thirst for knowledge and expanded his pursuit for collecting.
We have proudly published several of Lemann’s travel journal entries throughout this catalogue.
Thomas B. Lemann was an avid art enthusiast and collector from New Orleans.Interior designer Edward Benesch and his wellknown affection for classic modern design, was a perfect fit for Lemann’s mid-century modern home. Benesch worked collaboratively with Lemann to maintain the balance between modernity and nature that was so important to the design of the property. The interiors of each room are unique, from the warmth of the library, which features builtin bookcases by Benesch, to the living room which overlooks a centuries-old oak in the side garden.
This singular garden was designed by California landscape architect Robert Royston. It was Royston who also sited the house so that the two massive oak trees on the property—one oak tree facing State Street, the other oak facing Garfield Street, would be seen to full advantage.
“Today we visited the three leading, if not the three only, art galleries in Athens and ended up with a sculpture by Clouvatos, a ceramic plaque by Valsomikis, and paintings by Sikeliotis, Papadakis, and Fassianos. The last named was exhibited at the art gallery of the Athens Hilton Hotel, where the artist himself put in an appearance, a 29-year-old originally from Corfu, who has lived three years in Paris and exhibited there. He specializes in Byzantine eyes.”

Born in Athens in 1935, Alekos Fassianos was a highly acclaimed contemporary artist and one of Greece’s most celebrated painters. Encouraged by his parents, Fassianos began to paint amidst the terrors of the Second World War and the Greek Civil War. He attended Athens School of Fine Art, and later Ecole Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. In Paris, he started to develop his very personal artistic style, one washed in a Mediterranean color palette, and rooted in the simplicity of Greek classical art. Fassianos would go on to expand his own distinctive artistic vocabulary, but his work began as a study of abstraction, and The Angel (1964) is an interesting example of this earlier work.
The angel figure is present but just barely visible behind a thick layer of warm, beige-hued paint, with intentional craquelure to further obscure the figure. The suggestion of a face can be seen in the top right corner, in a thick mixture of blue and white paint, and an eye is barely visible amidst the craquelure. Just beneath the feet are rippling blue lines, implying motion of either wind or water; nearly every one of Fassianos’ works are characterized by movement, emphasized by the curved lines of hair or clothing blowing in the wind. The blue lines at the bottom of the canvas here are the beginnings of this trademark of Fassianos’ style.
The canvas is largely devoid of the bright color palette that would become a distinct characteristic of Fassianos’ work; it is mostly washed in a warm, creamy beige color, suggestive of a light that bathes the figure. While the palette is not nearly as bright as might be expected, the pops of blue, yellow, and a brownish red - reminiscent of terracotta amphora vases from Ancient Greece - are still the elements that breathe life into the figure, imbuing him with a spiritual existence
Fassianos’ grandfather was a priest, and he spent much of his childhood in the Byzantine church where his grandfather worked, bringing him incense to burn and scripture to read. Fassianos admits to being magnetized by the Byzantine protagonists, stating “I was impressed by the holy horsemen with their halos and swords, which made flames and killed beasts....” Perhaps the angel figure is not related to the myth of Greekness, as so much of his work often is, but related to his personal myth: the quiet afternoons spent with his grandfather and the alluring Byzantine icons that galvanized him.
The Angel allows an insight into Fassianos’ early work, and the elements that would later characterize his mature artistic style. Though it is not a typical work by Fassianos, it is not difficult to connect it to his larger body of work and mature style. It is deeply personal, painted during a time when Fassianos was discovering his artistic vocabulary and just beginning to transform into an emblematic figure of 20th-century Greek art.

“We spent the whole day today at the Biennale and really covered the waterfront, inspecting each of the 3,000 works of art there exhibited. It is indeed quite a show. This is the 32nd Biennale, which means they have been holding it since the year 1900, and it is easy to understand why it is the most famous exhibition of modern art in the world.
Although it requires a lot of walking around, it is still a better chance to see a cross section of contemporary art than you could find anywhere else, You would have to go to dozens of galleries in New York, Paris, London; Milan, and many more remote spots in the world, in order to see any-thing like the number of artists and nationalities exhibition here.”

The Finnish sculptor Kavijarvi was acclaimed for his largescale carved stone monuments and memorials that emerge aggressively from the landscape. Initially trained as a painter at the Finnish Academy of the Arts, it was the years he spent in Rome at the Accademia di Belle Arti that encouraged him to experiment with bronze. These early sculptures were in many ways a three-dimensional extension of his figural work. It was not until the 60s, inspired by classical architecture, that he began to explore abstract sculptures, revisiting the same forms over the course of his career.

The Austrian post-war avant-garde sculptor Roland Goeschl studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Fritz Wotruba (1907-1975) and later worked in Wotruba’s studio as his primary assistant. Initially creating figural sculptures, Goeschl soon began deconstructing the figure into geometric forms, reconfiguring the elements into constructive sculptures. Following a brief time at the Royal College in London, Goeschl began to explore polychrome sculpture, adding the primary red, blue and yellow into his works. These sculptures require an active viewer, one who observes them from all sides and perspectives. Goeschl exhibited widely, most significantly at the Venice Biennale in 1968, from where the work presented here was acquired.

Anna Wilmsen and Wolfgang Kubach met as students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and soon formed a personal and professional relationship. They began collaborating in 1968 and had their first joint exhibition in 1978, two years after they embarked on their series of stone books. Utilizing granite, marble and other stones, carefully chosen for their veining and coloring, the duo have created everything from the small books offered here to monumental libraries such as the over 300 book collection held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. In 1989, they formed the Fondation Kubach-Wilmsen which supports a stone sculpture museum and garden in their beloved Bad Munster am Stein.

“An excellent new art gallery has been opened in Antibes since our last visit, the Galerie Laporte. The proprietress, Madame Laporte, is a lady of a certain age always complaining about the heat (it is not very hot actually) but with a good deal of taste. She lives in Paris six months of the year and has her gallery here during the six summer months. She has assembled quite an interesting stable of artists, most of whom follow her regime of spending half the year in this area and the winter time in Paris. We were particularly impressed with a chap named Bolin, a Swede by birth who is now 45 years old and has lived in Paris since he was one year old, so that actually he is French though racially he is Swedish. He has exhibited in New York and has a gallery connection there as well as in Paris. We visited his studio on Cap d’Antibes and saw one of his most recent works.”

Andre Cottavoz was a “Sanzist” artist, a term used by its proponents to express their opposition to any labels. Favoring light above anything else, they made their debut in 1948 in Lyon, but it was the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris that became the movement’s leading supporter
Andre Cottavoz, inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, sculpted his paintings with a palette, layering, mixing and kneading the paints either with a tool or hand. It was ultimately Chaim Soutine that would have the most profound influence on the artist.
As with Soutine, Cottavoz’s dense paintings teeter on the edge of representation and abstraction. According to Carole Pinto Fine Art; “His seemingly chaotic brushstrokes create expressive pictorial surfaces that transform mundane subject matter into paintings that excite and provoke the eye.”

“In the Grimaldi Museum at Antibes, which is undoubtedly one of the finest small museums you could find anywhere, there is an exhibit of Boni, an Italian sculptor who, like everybody else spends six months in Paris and lives in Vallauris during the summer. We got one of his works in travertine and had a chance to meet him and his family - his wife turns out to be from Cleveland, Ohio. Boni has exhibited in America and his works have been purchased by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Boston Fine Arts Museum. Monsieur le Conservateur, curator of the Grimaldi Museum, age 76, is quite a powerful figure and personally arranges all the exhibitions. I attempted to take a picture of him but have not been successful so far.”

“We completed our research in the field of modern Aubusson tapestries today, and ended up with two winners. As everyone knows, the French have been the world’s greatest tapestry makers for centuries, particularly in Aubusson which has been a tapestry center ever since the 15th century. After the 17th century the art of tapestry making declined, until it was revived in the late ‘30’s of this century, primarily by Lurcat. After the war a number of artists turned their hands to tapestry designing, and the results have been quite interesting. Modern French tapestries now hang in many museums and churches, and are also used as decorations on trans-Atlantic liners. We also invested in a couple of sculptures at another gallery, one by Metcalf, a 35 year old American living in Paris, and the other by Logo, a Yugoslav of about the same vintage.”

École de Nice was a product of cultural and social change in postwar France, reflective of international shifts from nationalism to internationalism and cultural pluralism, from tradition to a culture of youth. Cote d’Azur labeled itself as a place of freedom, health, and youthfulness and young artists thrived on its shores. Nice became a creative center without rules or dogma, denouncing the material excesses of the bourgeoise and rejecting Paris as a center of visual arts.
Many critics tried to shape the identity of École de Nice, but it is in fact difficult to understand the movement as a whole since it is a conglomeration of many movements, such as Fluxus, Le Nouveau Realisme and Support, Surfaces. Gallerist Alexander de la Salle helped to institutionalize the movement with his major exhibition that took place in Venice, 1967. The cover of the 1967 exhibition catalogue paid a homage to Yves Klein iconic blue paintings. Some of the artists included in the exhibition are Marcel Alocco, Pierre Pinoncelli and Arman, all featured in our October auction and part of the Thomas Lemann collection.
De la Salle stated it was the first movement in France that has sustained itself outside of Paris. Decades later, in an interview with Laura Caprini for an exhibition 1960-2010, Fifty Years of School of Nice at the Retif Museum in Vence, Alexandre de la Salle defined the Nice School: “It’s a regional movement. They are from the sea, from the south, from the hills that tumble down to the Mediterranean. It is not a school in the literal sense because everyone has remained immutably frozen in himself! Their common thread is this belonging to a set of people who do not go to school but who meet and who have, nevertheless, a lot in common: the abandonment of the canvas for almost everyone, the accumulation of small objects that are used to do something else, a kinship with the new realism as well as an effervescence of words and writings.”
Before de la Salle’s major exhibition, the term “École de Nice” first appeared in print in August of 1960 in an article by Claude Riviere published in Combat, a Parisian journal. She was reporting on the artistic scene along the French Riviera. She noticed a group of artists in Nice that embodied the spirit of the Mediterranean region and posed a question “Why not an École de Nice?”.
The artists were Yves Klein, Martial Raysse, and Arman, amongst others. Yves Klein strived to liberate color from line, and broke down boundaries between painting, sculpture and performance art with his “Anthropometry”, a series of paintings using nude women as paint brushes. Arman, who had first emerged as a lyrical abstract painter, a dominant style in France, soon rejected the style and began making sculpture inspired by the concept of the readymade preoccupied with the consequences of mass production.
Arman described “École de Nice” as an embodiment of a spirit “without complexity”. In 1965, Marcel Alocco devoted an issue of his art and poetry journal Identites to the movement. He asked the artists to identify the school’s chief characteristics. Some called it an extension of “École de Klein”, and some saw it as open-ended: a tendency for “École de Nice” to see everything as possible art and to question art itself. Pinoncelli, a painter, performance artist and an iconoclastand once an assistant to Yves Klein - was a disciple of the Dada Movement and ultimately became most known for urinating in Marcel Duchamp’s urinal at the Centre Pompidou in 2006.
Although some would consider the end of the school in 1997, when Alexandre de la Salle mounted his last exhibition of the “École de Nice” artists, the region is still at crossroads of new developments in the visual arts.

“...we went up to Vence which is a veritable gold mine of antique shops and there are also two good art galleries there. At one of them, which is run by a fellow named La Salle, who claims to be a descendant of the Cavalier de la Salle who explored Louisiana, we were fortunate enough to find an exhibition by the fabulous Pinoncelli. We bought one of his Hands and had the pleasure of meeting the great man himself, a bald-headed mustachioed individual of about 40 who told us he has hitchhiked all over America.”

“At the LaSalle Gallery we found the Chevalier himself (a descendant of the Louisiana explorer) in good form. He was having a show of Chubac, and by coincidence the great Chubac himself was sitting right there in the gallery. Chubac lives in Aspremont, just behind Nice, and his fame has spread so little that we were able to afford one of his works a few years ago, of colored plastic, which sits in our dining room. Now the master has moved on to pieces of wood. Well, say what you will, I still like Chubac, his works are refreshing and unpretentious, and that’s exactly how the artist himself turned out to be. He is no spring chicken, he looks about 63.”

The naive flirts with the sophisticated, the surreal with the real in paintings of a world of heightened reality, abundant with colour. Their surfaces are immaculate, and a peaceful calm pervades all. Her art has a touch of the fairy tale."

Anne Graham was born in Austria and emigrated to Melbourne, Australia at the brink of World War II. Her intricately painted, dreamlike works are reminiscent of the Northern Renaissance artists such as Bruegel the Elder and Hieronymus Bosch. In this work, she even employs the religious form of a triptych, widely used during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, an interesting use of medium for an almost poetic homage to the unique and varied Australian landscape. Her paintings of gardens and landscapes often explore relationships between humans and nature.

One of the most acclaimed Peruvian sculptors, Guzman attended the Escuela Nacional Superior Autonoma de Bellas Artes del Peru where he was awarded the gold medal for his class. It was during his time as a student that he began to create welded steel sculptures. Shortly after graduation he took part in the exhibition at the Instituto de Arte Contemporaneo, Lima, receiving the Andre Malreaux fellowship to study in France.
Guzman exhibited widely across France and took part in numerous Biennales including Paris in 1963, Venice in 1966, and Antwerp in 1969. While iron was his preferred material, he was equally adept at bronze, marble, ink and even - if only for one installation - string. In 2010, he received the Peruvian government’s highest honor of the Grand Cross.

Japanese visual artist Katsumi Nakai was one of the seven founding artists of the avant-garde group of abstract and informal art, Tekkeikai, active until the mid-1960s. In 1964, Nakai left Japan for Europe and ended up settling in Milan for the next several decades, returning to his home country in 1996. He was attracted to the “New Milanese School” and one of its most notable members, Luciano Fontana, fascinated by Fontana’s idea of Spatialism: the concept of time and space as a part of canvas. Nakai held his first solo exhibition at the Galleria del Cavallino in Venice in 1965, as well as multiple exhibitions at Galleria del Naviglio, Milan which is where this work was exhibited and acquired.
“Oggetto”, a prime example of the work he created in Italy, is a multi-colored wooden aperture which plays with pictorial surfaces, form, volume and exceeds the limits of the flat canvas. The painted, hinged planes take on sculptural dimensions, asking the audience to visually manipulate the work. Nakai’s work is a crossroads between Eastern and Western artistic traditions, calling to mind Japanese origami as well as the shaped canvases of Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella.
Guido Ballo, the Milanese art critic called Nakai’s works “Pictorial Object”, describing its existence between sculpture and two-dimensional paintings.

Together with Bacci, De Luigi and Tancredi, Morandis is one of the exponents of the Venetian Spatialist Movement. The movement was born in 1946, founded by Lucio Fontana in conjunction with Galleria Il Cavallino in Venice and Galleria Apollinaire in Milano, and promoted the idea of art as gesture or performance, rather than as the creation of an enduring physical work. Morandis met the highly influential gallery owner, patron and publisher Carlo Cardazzo, who suggested the addition of an “s” to the surname, to distinguish himself from Giorgio Morandi. Cardazzo, like Peggy Guggenheim, was passionate about contemporary art and so it was natural that “Carlo Cardazzo. A New Vision for Art” was mounted at the Guggenheim Museum in Venice, in 2009, an exhibition devoted exclusively to the archives of the art dealer. The work of Gino Morandis was part of this exhibition. As is evident from the example in our October auction, the Venetian artist was a colorist who developed a deeply personal language of pure fantastic abstraction. He participated in numerous and important national and international artistic events, including multiple Venice Biennales, starting with 1936 and ending in 1968.
“At the Canale Gallery near the Academia we were unable to resist the plexiglass frolic by Baj, the whimsical Italian assembler, and a painting on wood by Huppi.

Morandini has spent his long and successful career at the intersection of art and design. An academically trained artist - he attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan - he has worked as an architect, furniture designer, sculptor, and has even produced a series for the porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal. His sculptural compositions are very geometric and methodical, primarily of acrylic or lacquered wood in stark black and white; it is Morandini’s belief that this allows the design to maintain its integrity. The work offered here is proof of the success of this approach. Seemingly simple elements have been carefully arranged to create a complex, compelling structure.

Pedano was an apprentice to a carpenter before moving to Milan at the age of seventeen, where he worked during the day and attended art classes at night. He soon opened his own studio, concentrating on interior design and decor, and he was responsible for the renovation of many local homes and institutions. His eponymous home decor store, the Pedano Shop, is still in business today. Pedano was especially lauded for his carved wood objets d’art, created using his distinctive technique of applying layers of wood which he called millefogle; he was to eventually patent this method. The highly polished spheres - or boules - offered here are a prime example of the success of this process.

One of the leading figures of British sculpture until his untimely death at the age of 52, Dalwood took a somewhat circuitous path to art. He left school at 16 to work for an aviation company and served as an engineer in the Royal Navy during World War II. Upon his return to England, he attended Bath Academy of Art, receiving a travel scholarship to study in Italy. He had his first, highly lauded, exhibition in 1954 and the following year he was awarded the Gregory Fellowship at the University of Leeds. In 1962, he represented England at the Venice Biennale, receiving the 1st prize in sculpture. Dalwood created increasingly abstracted sculptures in a variety of materials - clay, stone, bronze, aluminum - and utilizing numerous techniques - casting, molding, carving. In 1979, a posthumous retrospective was held at Hayward Gallery, London.

“At the LaSalle Gallery we found the Chevalier himself (a descendant of the Louisiana explorer) in good form. He was having a show of Chubac, and by coincidence the great Chubac himself was sitting right there in the gallery. Chubac lives in Aspremont, just behind Nice, and his fame has spread so little that we were able to afford one of his works a few years ago, of colored plastic, which sits in our dining room. Now the master has moved on to pieces of wood. Well, say what you will, I still like Chubac, his works are refreshing and unpretentious, and that’s exactly how the artist himself turned out to be. He is no spring chicken, he looks about 63.”

Karl Gerstner was a theorist, graphic artist, painter, author, and co-founder of the international advertising agency “Gerstner + Kutter”, later “GGK”. He is also one of the proponents of a Modernist graphic design movement called Swiss Design, or the International Typographic Style. These artists and
designers sought to de-emphasize the individual expression, emphasizing rational planning, harmony neutrality and objectiveness, reflective of the Post-WWII scientific and technological age.
They looked to the artistic movements prevalent between 1914 and 1939, from Suprematism and Constructivism in Russia to the De Stijl in the Netherlands and Constructivisminspired work of the German Bauhaus movement. They drew inspiration from Russian post-revolution artists such as El Lissitzky who were redefining art for the socialist era, utilizing simplified geometric forms and bold typography and abstract painter Piet Mondrian’s paired down compositions of grid-like geometric forms and primary colors.
Gerstner was a researcher and innovator, establishing pictorial systems and studying color effects. In 1956 he created a movable palate with 196 hues in 28 groups with 7 squares each, experimenting with color and form. In his highly influential book Designing Programmes , first published in 1964, Gerstner laid out his design theory which essentially hinges on the designer’s ability to make informed choices based first on understanding the problem, then making “creative decisions” based on systematic approaches instead of instinct. Gerstner’s “Integral Typography” utilizing aesthetic typography as a communication aide of information and ideas has had a lasting influence in advertising and is still used today.
Nelly Rudin, a post-war Swiss artist, has been called a “mistress of reduction” and is one of the most important proponents of the second generation of “Zurich Concrete Art”. Like Gerstner, her works deal with the relationship between color and form and are reflective of her training in graphic design. Echoes of designs for brochures or packaging can be seen in her work from the late 1960’s. Her canvases seek symmetry and balance, are linear, and have a strong two-dimensional effect. Her later work, such as the two examples in our October auction, became more dynamic and less static; by painting over the edges of the canvas, Rudin creates an optical distortion, thus engaging the viewer on a more personal level.

“When art starts to be codified and repetitive, it loses its spontaneity. In this form, art can no longer abide by the strict and specific laws of geometry. That is the constant conflict between “logos” (reason) - logic, and intuition - emotion. My methodical yet liberating approach to work completes my artistic expression. I work with coincidences, and luck, elements which nurture my imagination and lead me to new forms of expression, and ideas. I accept the element of luck, while also guiding it. In nature stratification changes and accumulates in an irregular manner and rhythm, symmetries get formed. The rhythm creates repetitions inexorably. Repetitions create symmetries. This is the process that I believe a researcher artist follows. So I discover, I stand by repetitions through shapes and then through color. Color can highlight symmetry in the design, or break it and even vanish it. I usually work with different colors while using the same tone to create a sense of balance and support in the design.”

Honegger attended the Zurich School of Applied Arts and opened his own corporate design studio in 1938. A successful graphic designer, it wasn’t until he was in his 40s that he decided to concentrate solely on his art. He spent several years in New York, where he befriended the Abstract Expressionists. He also was exposed to the tenets of Concrete and Constructive art which emphasized the importance of art having a social purpose, of incorporating the industrial and urban design.
Shortly after moving to France, he began sculpting. His works of carved stone and marble are explorations of shape and form, composed of bisected or truncated geometric elements.
In 1990, he and his partner Sybil Albers founded Espace de l’Art Concrete in Mouans-Sartoux. Honegger was named a Chevalier, and later Commandeur, de l’Order des Arts et des Lettres and made a Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur. In 2015 a retrospective of his work was held at the Centre Pompidou. 111

“The Best Galleries are Gimpel’s, Bollag, Ziegler, Maeght, Huber, and Facchetti, several of which have bigger branches in London or Paris. Fachetti features the mad Greek painter Fassioanos, and we were immensely gratified to see that this chap, whose paintings we acquired back in Athens back in 1964 for about $150 per, now gets $3,000 to $5,000 for the same sized works. He is now 34 and seems to have made good, and while we did not buy his works for investment, they have proved to be as good as a glamor stock, at least so far. We ended up with……a whimsical mobile by the German Arnulf Hoffman, and a small bronze by the Italian Benazzi….”

Hachler briefly attended architecture school before transferring to l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts; this early training was to prove crucial to his mature style. Originally working in a purely abstract manner, he soon saw the appeal of Constructivism and began to create monumental sculptures in such industrial materials as concrete, iron and steel. His works emphasize the manipulation of geometric forms, especially rhombic cubes, and even his small-scale works like the one offered here were meant to be viewed from all sides. From 1983-1987 he was the President of the Society of Swiss Painters, Sculptors and Architects.

One of Slovenia’s most influential artists of the mid-20th century, Trsar was a leading proponent of abstraction. While still at the Academy of Fine Arts, Ljubljana, he and his fellow students formed “Skupina 53”, the first Slovenian avant-garde art group, which included sculptors, painters and graphic artists. The recipient of a traditional academic education, it is not surprising that his earliest works were somewhat figural. He soon began to experiment with increasingly more stylized and abstracted elements. In 1958, he took part in the Venice Biennale with the Yugoslavian Pavilion. In 1995, he was named a full member of the Slovenian Academy of Science and Arts.

A lifelong art instructor, Clemmer taught Drawing and Design at the School of Architecture, Tulane University for nearly thirty years. He then served as Chair of the Newcomb Art Department and was the first recipient of the Ford and Maxine Graham Chair in Fine Art.
As a young man, Clemmer studied with beloved New Orleans artists Paul Ninas, Xavier Gonzales and Enrique Alferez. He worked in a variety of styles and media, though from the 60s on there was an emphasis on line and geometry. He exhibited throughout his career. In 2021, a retrospective was held at the Historic New Orleans Collection.

Despite serving on the faculty of Tulane University and the University of Southern Louisiana for decades, Kern was a bit of an enigmatic figure. For years, unbeknownst to most in the art community of New Orleans, he had been diligently working on his fantastical, often surrealist sculptures. It wasn’t until 2016, when he was in his mid-80s, that he agreed to an exhibition of his work to be held at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. His smoothly surfaced, monochrome sculptures were created mostly of molded polyester resin finished with layers of lacquer. Kern utilized unusual and unexpected tools, such as dental implements and vegetable peelers. His slightly unsettling figures of animals, hybrids and distorted or truncated human figures reference mythologies, folk tales and the recesses of Kern’s creative mind, and were nearly universally lauded by collectors and critics alike.

A native New Orleanian and long-time Chicago resident, Florsheim did not begin to study art until she was well into her 50s. Her earliest works were colorful abstract paintings, though she also experimented with vaguely figural sculpture. It was not until a fortuitous collaboration revealed the potential of plastics. She began to work with Lucite and plexiglass, creating increasingly complex sculptures of layered geometric forms. As with the lots offered here, she explored the myriad possibilities of the circle, preferring stark clear, white, or black. In 1970, she had an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

Morio Shinoda received his initial training in his native Japan before briefly studying with the American architect, designer and inventor R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983). Deftly combining various aspects of both Eastern and Western culture, Shinoda creates carefully composed metal and wire constructions which explore the concept of gravity, movement and - especially - the interplay of tension and compression. The work offered here is unexpectedly whimsical, with the partial face carefully hovering between the rod and feet supports. Shinoda represented Japan at the 1966 Venice Biennale, was the recipient of the 2000 International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Sculpture Educator Award, and has exhibited widely, including at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Guggenheim, New York.

Provenance: Galleria Il Capricorno, Venice, Italy, 1972; Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana.
$2,000-$4,000
One of the most acclaimed Peruvian sculptors, Guzman attended the Escuela Nacional Superior Autonoma de Bellas Artes del Peru where he was awarded the gold medal for his class. It was during his time as a student that he began to create welded steel sculptures. Shortly after graduation he took part in the exhibition at the Instituto de Arte Contemporaneo, Lima, receiving the Andre Malreaux fellowship to study in France.
Guzman exhibited widely across France and took part in numerous Biennales including Paris in 1963, Venice in 1966, and Antwerp in 1969. While iron was his preferred material, he was equally adept at bronze, marble, ink and even - if only for one installation - string. In 2010, he received the Peruvian government’s highest honor of the Grand Cross.

Provenance: Gustavo Olivieri 20th Century, East Hampton, New York; Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana.
$800-$1,200
A native of Buenos Aires, Minujin studied in France where her work was experimental, performative and installation based; it resulted in her receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1966, which afforded her the opportunity to move to New York. Upon her return to Argentina in 1976, she created a series of sculptures inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art. While some of these works were cast in metal, as with the small plaque offered here, others were rendered in such unexpected and often transitory materials as cheese, cotton and bread. Minujin is still actively creating art at the age of 80.

Trained as an architect, Beuvrin was on the faculty of Simon Bolivar University in Caracas until the political climate of Venezuela forced him to relocate to Spain. Setting up a studio in Barcelona, he began to concentrate on sculpture. Beuvrin’s architectural training is evident in his approach to his work: every sculpture begins as a detailed design - what he refers to as his “spatial drawings”. He then laser cuts sheets of metalsteel is his preferred material, but he has been known to use iron, bronze and even wood - assembling the parts into a 3-dimensional model.

Provenance: Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana.
$1,000-$1,500
Kipp was an early proponent of the American Primary Structures movement of the 1960s, which had evolved from Russian Constructivism and its tenet of embracing the industrial and urban. After an influential and popular 1966 exhibition of Primary Structures, Kipp along with several other artists formed ConStruct, an artist-owned gallery.
A graduate of Pratt Institute, New York, Kipp’s earliest works were site-specific, and usually site-constructed, large-scale sculptures of welded steel. Soon dissatisfied with both the technique and the process, he began to use sheets of metal painted in bold, primary colors which could be fitted together and bolted. The resulting works were complex constructs of intersecting and bisecting geometric elements. Kipp often created small-scale maquettes of his sculptures. 195

$1,000-$1,500
Gruber attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. One of the first proponents of using plexiglass as an artistic material, she convinced a local engineering company to allow her to set up a studio in their factory so she would have access to their machinery. Employing a process she created, Gruber pressed thin sheets of variously hued plexiglass into molds.
In 1968, she took part in the “Made in Plastic” exhibition at the Institute of Art in Flint, Michigan; it was the first show of its kind and its popularity with critics, scholars and collectors was immediate. When asked about her preferred material, Gruber said, “I like its transparency, the overlapping of colors forming other colors and the effect of contained light within...it is one thing by day and another thing by night.”

While his preferred material is welded steel, ideal for exposure to the elements, he also casts in other metals and materials, occasionally adding patination or powder-coating. Regardless of their size, his sculptures are explorations of geometric form.

While considered an abstract expressionist sculptor, di Suvero’s mature work reveals the clear influence of Constructivism; large-scale, site specific and often interactive in nature, utilizing salvaged industrial materials. His earlier sculptures included wood and found objects, but he soon concentrated on welded steel for his outdoor works, which often required the use of a crane for completion.
Di Suvero received a degree in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. He worked tirelessly as an activist and was arrested several times for his anti-war demonstrations, culminating in him moving to Europe for several years. He did not return to the United States until the end of the Vietnam War. While in Europe, di Suvero exhibited widely, and was the first living artist to have a solo exhibition at the Jardin des Tuileries, Paris. He was later named a Commandeur d’Ordre des Art et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture, quite an honor for a non-French person.
In 1976, a retrospective of his work was held at the Whitney Museum of American Art and in 2010. he was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment of the Arts. A retrospective was recently held at Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas of his sculptures, drawings and paintings.

Crovello’s studies at the Rhode Island School of Design were interrupted by active military service which he spent in Korea and Japan. Upon his return to the United States, Crovello studied Japanese culture and history at Columbia University before returning to Japan where he was to remain for four years. In 1961, he moved to Spain and began to concentrate on sculpture. Many of his works reflect the influences of Japanese culture, including “Kokeshi” (a simple wooden peg Japanese doll ) offered here.

Literature: Amy Serafin, “After 40 years in craft, French textile artist Simone Pheulpin is finally making her point.”, Wallpaper*, September 2018.
$800-$1,200
A self-taught textile artist, Pheulpin was inspired by the raw, unbleached cotton fabric she used to line her children’s clothes. Utilizing fabric from a local manufacturer in her native Vosges, she carefully and painstakingly twists, folds and pleats the strips, holding them in place with hundreds of metal pins. The results are reminiscent of natural forms - shells, flora, the swirls of wood grain. Pheulpin was the recipient of the Grand Prix de la Creation de la Ville de Paris and her works are in the permanent collections of such institutions as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and the Art Institute of Chicago.

There is an acknowledged playfulness to Hiquily’s sculptures which belies the intense planning and designing that goes into each work. The thin sheets of metal which have been carefully manipulated by cutting and welding into biomorphic or abstracted figures are clever explorations of space, form, and by extension movement; many of his works are kinetic. The works offered here are from two of his most acclaimed series: “Grouette” which was conceived in Spain in 1963 and “Marathonienne” a small scale edition of the ninefoot sculpture from 1981. These reveal Hiquily at his most accomplished and the stylized, abstract geometric sculptures are still successfully indicative of the female form.
Born into an artistic family, Hiquily spent his youth working beside his father in the French Resistance during World War II and later served with distinction in Indochine. Upon his return to France, he attended l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Orleans and l’Ecole Nationale Superiere des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1959, after being the recipient of the Critic’s Prize at the Paris Biennial, he was invited to exhibit in New York. The exhibition was a resounding success; all the works sold including one to the Guggenheim.
Encouraged to stay in New York, Hiquily made the decision to return to France, where he remained for the rest of his life.

Aloni’s biomorphic sculptures are created by carefully and painstakingly knotting thin metal rods into a desired shape into which hot glass is then blown, pushing and bulging between the metal netting. The resultant vaguely organic forms are somewhat Brutalist in style and are variously meant to be hung, strung, or mounted.
Aloni is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg and the Slade School of Fine Arts, London. He lives and works in Tel Aviv.

Interested in art since he was a child, Day worked as a plumber for twenty years before enrolling in classes at Wolverhampton University where he eventually received a degree in Glass and Ceramics. Of Jamaican and British heritage, he explores the present and historical plight of black people in England through his biomorphic glass sculptures.
Often incorporating industrial materials, especially heating or electrical elements, which are twisted and knotted around the vessel, he pushes and pulls the partially encaged glass, forcing it to bulge and push against the constraints. The work offered here is from his “Strange Fruit” series, which references the song initially and most famously performed by Billie Holliday; “Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar tree”.

"My inspiration comes from cycles of nature that I associate with the glass-making process because to me the material is at its most alive when it’s hot and being transformed. The end result is solid and doesn’t move any longer, it is at the fragile time before disintegration and maintains a dynamic form and rich structures such as dry leaves, feathers or sea shells".

McGarva received her training in glass-blowing at the Ecole Nationale du Verre in Yzeure, France. She later attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where she studied casting, fusing and etching. McGarva prefers the somewhat capricious technique of kiln-casting where the form is heated and then manually manipulated while still pliable by pulling, bending and stretching. The form is then returned to the kiln. As McGarva acknowledges, it is not always possible to anticipate the results once the piece is reheated and each glass sculpture is unique. Once cooled, the glass is often hand engraved.

An internationally acknowledged master of the difficult and time-consuming cire perdue or lost wax glass casting technique, Jarman teaches classes and lectures across the United Kingdom. Her nature-inspired vessels are admired for their fluid design and structure.
"All the ideas for my work originate from a lifelong interest I have in biology and the natural world. I look to all sources for inspiration - animal, vegetable and mineral; but the one common theme that unites all my thinking has at its core ideas to do with growth and reproduction, duplication, decay and transformation."

Provenance: Adrian Sassoon, London, England; Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana.
$3,000-$5,000
One could call Pippin Drysdale a landscape artist utilizing ceramics as a medium. Her works pulsate with intense colors, as rich and varied as the artist’s native Australian landscape and the forms are an assemblage of asymmetrical elements, echoing the geological features of Australia; her signature incisions mirror the linear patterns of the land and exposed rock strata.
“Splendor at Black Rock I” is a compilation of asymmetrical sculptures as well as vessels and serves as an interesting meditation on differences between ceramics as utilitarian objects versus purely sculptural. The vessels are colored in the lavish hues of the land on the exterior and glowing dome of the vast Australian skies in the interior.
“So much of my journey has all developed into a thematic of traces, traces of time, linear lines, shadows, color and big crops,” Pippin explained in an interview for Design Files, an Australian online design website. Glazes are applied in layers and once dried, Drysdale makes her careful, precise incisions. Later, they are filled with new color, carefully working one section at a time. “The lines take on their own journey,” she says, explaining the intricate network of rivulets for a single vessel surface can consume up to eight hours to complete. (Design Files, 2021). After each color is applied, the body is wiped off and color re-applied again, giving each piece subtle shading, marking each work as unique. The whole process can take several days to complete.
Pippin Drysdale’s work has been widely exhibited internationally, and was included in the 2017 Sotheby’s traveling exhibit “Treasures from Chatsworth”. The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire acquired three major installations for the “Chatsworth Collection”.

Malone has stated that function and practicality are not a consideration in the creation of her vibrant works and that they are best perceived as decorative objects. Her distinct glazing technique incorporates crystals which are added to the glaze in strategic areas prior to firing. The innate nature of the crystals when heated results in unpredictable yet luminous and complex glazes. Malone is an acknowledged master of this technique, and she has spent years researching and perfecting it.
A 1986 graduate of the Royal Academy of Art, London, she was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2019.

Wicks creates elegantly shaped vessels with complex textural surfaces. He carefully and painstakingly cuts and shapes the surface, leaving the piece to air dry for several days before it is biscuit-fired and then glaze-fired.
"I have always been drawn to working with porcelain for its purity in colour, refinement in material qualities and the continuous yet enjoyable challenge of working with such a physically difficult material which shrinks, cracks, warps, twists, and generally can misbehave unexpectedly."

“The Tate’s collection of Turners is of course the gallery’s principle claim to fame, but they also have a pretty good sampling of Giacometti and David Smith, plus Caro, Chillida, and of all things a modern porphyry sculpture by one Stephen Cox (born 1946). The placard there says no porphyry was quarried for 1,000 years after A.D. 600. Can that be so? Then where did the great porphyry tombs of the Normans in Sicily come from?”
- Thomas B. Lemann Travel Journal London, August 1997"I felt that in carving there was something more immediately primitive, immediately basic, in terms of language or sculpture."

Cox's admiration, appreciation, and respect for the materials he uses is evident in the reverent manner in which he approaches his sculptural explorations of form. In his search for the most exceptional stone, he has accompanied geologists and archaeologists on expeditions across India, Italy and Egypt to seek out quarries and sources. He has worked in a variety of stones including marble, alabaster and granite, but his preferred material is porphyry.
Porphyry, in its most simplistic definition, is a generally deep red or green, white-flecked igneous hardstone. The exception to this is the rare purple Imperial Egyptian porphyry which was mined only at the Mons Porphyrtes quarries in Egypt, which is now a World Heritage Site. It was extremely popular with the ancient Romans and the Byzantine Empire - and can be seen in items as diverse as sarcophagi, altars, and water basins. Cox was given the unprecedented honor by the Egyptian Government to access the quarries, which had been closed since antiquity, as a part of his commission for the new Cairo Opera House.
Cox was elected to the Royal Academy in 2010 and was named a Senior Academician in 2022.

For the highly polished carved stone box offered here, Gaskell has chosen Egyptian Imperial porphyry, one of the rarest stones which was quarried only from the Red Sea Hills of Egypt - at a location referred to by the ancient Romans as Mons Porphyrites. So historically significant is the stone, the area where it was found has been named a World Heritage site. Gaskell respectfully approaches his chosen material, carefully shaping and polishing the stone, creating a nearly invisible-to the-eye asymmetrical fissure along which it opens.

DeJonghe attended l’Ecole des Metiers d’Art, Paris before working in the workshop of ceramicist Emile Decour. By 1977 he had his own studio and kiln. Equally adept at ceramics and glass, DeJonghe has also worked closely with scientists and researchers at the Musee d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, accompanying them on excursions across Egypt, Algeria and Chad. He was the recipient of the National Grand Prize of the Ministry of Culture in Paris amongst numerous other honors. The work offered here is composed of colorless, optical glass cast to form a hard surface which is then cut to create the desired texture.
I would like to see natural hardstone carving recognized today as the fundamental and enduring medium of expression that it used to be in ancient times when our gods were of Nature, of the Sun, of fertility, of the Earth...

"The concept of my work “YO BI TSU GI” is rebirth. “YO BI TSU GI” is the traditional restoring technique for the ceramic Tea bowl. Traditionally, URUSHI lacquer was used as glue to join the damaged parts together and finished with a renewed charm. I join my glass parts together using molten glass to create an image of “KIMONO”. Finally I have reproduced my glass “YO BI TSU GI” as my own interpretation to emphasise [sic] and harmonise [sic] the Japanese sense of beauty."

Bennicke employs an unusual, idiosyncratic technique of molding and hand-building the clay, eschewing the more traditional wheel throwing. Her works are complex, personal interpretations of the world around her the landscape, the city buildings, the urban waste-lands. As such, they appear reminiscent rather than recognizable to the viewer, requiring a degree of critical analyses.

Nicholls works almost exclusively with opaque monochrome glass, utilizing the delicate kiln-form technique of heating various elements in the kiln and then shaping and manipulating them. The resultant, deceptively delicateseeming glass sculptures are explorations of light and shape, deftly alluding to the passing of time.
"I am fascinated by erosion - of solid forms disintegrating over time and the continuing transformation into absorbing lace like structures as they become ever more delicate and fragile."
- Tracy Nicholls
"My inspiration comes from many things that I absorb with all my senses: the changing light that creates different shades in the sand, water and vegetation, the unique textures and shapes of the reefs and shells, the sound and appearance of the waves that change by the day and hour, and the foam of the waves."

A Frankfurt native, Jakob has an unusual approach to his abstract hardstone sculptures: he splits the stone instead of cutting it and then works from the resulting fragments. This, he believes, allows the material to retain its integrity. He then slowly grinds holes, fissures and open areas into the stone, working towards a polished sculpture that simultaneously reveals the heart of the stone and his artistic vision.

Eden delights in merging traditional forms and materials with new technological processes, to create works which would not previously have been possible. A trained potter, he pursued an MPhil at the Royal Academy of Art, London, where he began to experiment with the potential of 3D software, specifically rapid prototyping (RP).
Using digital data, he created his first Wedgwoodn’t Tureen - the work offered here is a part of a later series of such vessels. This tureen is an easily identifiable object, reminiscent of the works produced by the famed ceramic manufacturer and ardent proponent of the Industrial Revolution Josiah Wedgwood, but clearly created in a manner inconsistent with the known properties and possibilities of the 18th century.

Provenance: Cavaliero Finn, London, U.K.; Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana.
$800-$1,200
Joung employs an extremely unusual technique to create her glazed, brightly colored monochromatic vessels. Using a special tool, she applies porcelain slip to a block. Once the slip starts to set, she begins to coil and shape it into the desired form. Because of the nature of the material and the technique, each piece must be completed in one sitting. Inspired by literature, she has a word or phrase in mind as she lays down the slip.
A native of South Korea, Joung holds a masters in ceramics from the Royal College of Art in London, where she now resides. She

Franz Kline’s status as an iconic figure of Abstract Expressionism looms nearly as large as the abstract, black and white paintings for which he is known. But to regard his early work as a mere prelude to his “mature” style is to depreciate the extent of his accomplishments in late 20th-century art history. Ballerina on Grey Horse (1941) is a masterpiece of Kline’s early representational and figurative style and exemplifies the unifying factors of his early and later works: quick brushstrokes, simplified forms, a muted color palette, dynamic movements, and isolation and alienation as major themes.
Kline completed Ballerina on Grey Horse shortly after attending Heatherley’s Art School in London, where he met his future wife, the former ballerina Elizabeth Parsons, a principal subject of his art through 1946. She is depicted here, balancing on top of a horse, guided by a male figure on the left. The color palette is muted - only hints of blue and red are evident beside a medley of greys and whites - and the figures’ faces are hidden as they are pared down to their most rudimentary forms. The female figure is hunched over, looking downward. A sense of alienation permeates the canvas; she seems detached as the male figure and the horse engage with each other on the other side of the canvas. Just behind them, another figure watches on from a great distance on the outskirts of the ring. This sense of isolation would go on to be a trademark of Kline’s abstraction and was very much influenced by Parsons’ struggles with her mental health. Ballerina on Grey Horse is an early example of Kline grappling with these themes, specifically in relation to Parsons.
Further compounding the themes of isolation are the dynamic movements present in Ballerina on Grey Horse. The horse’s front leg and tail are reared, a snapshot of motion, while the male figure attempts to stop the horse from moving forward. The quick brushstrokes imply an animated scene, perhaps a forceful confrontation between the two. Conversely, the female figure is isolated from this confrontation, hardly engaging with the two, as the figure on the outskirts of the ring remains still, observing from afar, casting an ominous shadow on the scene.
This study of indifference and isolation would later inform Kline’s mature style of black abstractions cast against often white, empty backgrounds from which they can appear quite separated. These black abstractions are often in forceful conversation with each other, clashing as dynamically as their movements may suggest, similar to the male figure and the horse in Ballerina on Grey Horse. The transition to these forms of abstractions is more sophisticated than Kline simply casting the details of one of his sketches though a projector; this early work undeniably informs and underscores his later abstractions. It is a prime example of the beginnings of this transition, and a precursor to his iconic status in the Abstract Expressionist movement. In observing these trademarks of Kline’s work - simple forms, animated brushstrokes, dark and muted color palettes, themes of alienation - in Ballerina on Grey Horse, the fuller picture of Kline as an artist, and his complex transition to Abstract Expressionism, becomes clear.

Lynda Benglis (American, b. 1941)Collection of Early Sketches: “Sunbathers at Pontchartrain Beach,” “Poor Animals (Sketch 1),” “Seals at Park,” and “Swimmers at Pontchartrain Beach,” 1962

$1,500-$2,500
Lynda Benglis was born in 1941 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to a Greek American family. Throughout her childhood, she spent time on the waterways, preferring to exploring the bayous, canals and channels that lead to the Gulf of Mexico. She was deeply curious about waves, especially “little Gulf waves because that’s the first that [she] saw.” She also traveled to Greece with her grandmother through her early twenties, later describing these travels as important to her work: her grandmother strongly influenced her thoughts on feminism and culture. Benglis was first inspired to pursue a career as an artist in 1960 when she saw a Franz Kline painting at the then Isaac Delgado Museum, and that very same year, she began training under painter Ida Kohlmeyer at H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College. As a student, she created many sketches like the collection here: scenes of people spending time on the water at Pontchartrain Beach, as well as studies of cypress trees, nutria, and the seals at Audubon Zoo.
Sketches like these, perhaps directed by Kohlmeyer, divulge Benglis’ reverence for her early childhood memories and her Greek and Louisianian roots. Though later in her career she would graduate on to elaborate sculpture, such as the brightly colored, poured latex sculptures, consciously referencing the “toxic oil slicks on the bayou,” those works are clearly still imbued with the same themes as her early drawings. This convergence of influences forms the complex legacy of Benglis’ work and her status as one of the most highly acclaimed female sculptors of her generation.
“All artists are in a kind of situation that patterns their early memories.”
- Lynda Benglis

Photographer and video artist David LaChapelle is well known for blending elements of Surrealism and Pop Art in his humorous, colorful, and sometimes controversial portraits of celebrities. The portraits are glittering spectacles, capturing familiar faces like Pamela Anderson and Tupac Shakur in strange and intimate settings with undisguised, often garish references to art history and religious iconography, peppered with social commentary. He frequently explores themes of impermanence, tackling subjects like mortality and fame. Artists & Prostitutes celebrates some of his most distinguished works, making it a grandiose tome that succinctly captures and distills LaChapelle’s career.

A native of Bogota, Colombia, Roberto Gutierrez has lived and worked in Arizona since 2000. His sculptures are explorations in motion and movement with blankfaced, well-muscled figures that climb walls, crawl into frames, or generally contort with acrobatic grace. Equally at ease with monumental forms and smallscale works, he has completed numerous public and private commissions, including several in his hometown of Bogota.

Mellen, the couple moved to New York City where she became a singer and writer.
Working in the tradition of Louisiana landscape painting of the late 19th century fostered by Richard Clague and William Henry Buck, Castellanos focused on life in the Louisiana bayous.

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.

Born in Metz, France, Louis Nicholas Adolphe Rinck studied at the Berlin Academy and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His training combined the refined draftsmanship of the French Neoclassical style of portraiture with the darker tonalities favored by German artists.
In December of 1840, Rinck traveled by ship to New Orleans where he advertised himself as an “ami de M. Vaudechamp” in The New Orleans Bee. During the early 1850s, Rinck and his wife Margarette owned a shop located on the first floor of the Pontalba Building in the French Quarter. Rinck remained in New Orleans for over 30 years and became renowned for his portraiture.

Provenance: This suite of furniture was once part of a larger set of bedroom furniture made for Duncan Farrar Kenner (1813-1887). Kenner was the owner of numerous sugar plantations and his family resided at Ashland Plantation in Darrow, Louisiana. He served as president of the Louisiana Sugar Planters Association. He also served several terms in the Louisiana House of Representatives and was a member of the state constitutional convention of 1845 and 1852. The city of Kenner, Louisiana (located outside New Orleans) was named after Minor Kenner, who was the brother of Duncan Kenner. The Kenner family bedroom suite is believed to have originally consisted of a pair of these half tester beds, a pair of armoires, a pair of dressing tables, a pair of washstands and a pair of dressers. The set was eventually split up among family members. Many of the other remaining pieces to this set are conserved in a private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Provenance: Leighton Fine Art, Marlow, UK; Private collection, Texas.
$7,000-$10,000
When in the mid-1950s Yvonne Canu encountered Georges Seurat’s Un Dimanche Apres-Midi a L’ile de la Grande Jatte, she was astounded, and it changed the trajectory of her career as an artist. Nearly half a century after Seurat’s early death, Canu decided to dedicate herself exclusively to Pointillism and adopted the technique for all her work. As a Neo-Impressionist, she further expanded upon the theories of Divisionism - the separation of each color into individual dots that interact optically to produce the illusion of more vibrant and luminous hues.
Though heavily influenced by Seurat, Canu’s works are distinctly modern. Her fearless technique utilized pure color and blocky brushstrokes to boldly capture the atmosphere of the seascapes and port scenes she is so well known for. In Brittany Coast, the patches of color blend together playfully to produce a representation of the waves moving and the sunlight shining, illustrating her creative freedom and confidence. Despite the whimsical nature of the work, there is also a high level of precision - each block of pigment is placed painstakingly in order to achieve the optical mixing that Canu never stopped pursuing. Her style is undeniably avantgarde and modern when the high intensity color, playful brushstrokes, and themes of fearlessness are considered, setting Canu apart from the Pointillists and Divisionists of the 19th century who galvanized her.

Paul Quinsac was an accomplished painter, trained in the 19th-century canon of the French Academy that privileged classically drawn figures executed in mythological and historical genre scenes over the avant-garde experimentation of the Romantics and later Impressionists.
He studied under Jean-Leon Gerome and regularly exhibited at the Salon, winning honorable mentions at the Salon of 1884 and the Universal Exposition of 1900, and a third class medal at the Universal Exposition of 1900. In 1901, Quinsac became a professor of art and drawing at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, and was awarded the prestigious Legion of Honor in 1908.

Leonard Chatenet (ca. 1780-1829) first registered his mark in 1807, around which time he married Agathe Elizabeth Toulon (1787-1841); she was the daughter of silversmith Jean Toulon (ca. 1755-1812), whose shop Chatenet assumed upon Toulon’s death. Similarly, Chatenet’s daughter Agathe Eleanore (18111896), married Jean-Baptiste Veyrier-Montagneres (18081899), who succeed Chatenet upon his death. That this set bears marks of both Chatenet and Veyrier (who used the same device - a caduceus) suggests it was made around 1829 or 30 at the twilight of the Bourbon Restauration and dawn of the July Monarchy.

All Sales and Auctions are without any representation or warranty of any kind by NOAG or the Seller.

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.

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.
(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.
(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, and for bids placed though online bidding partners LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable consisting of a 28% premium of the Hammer Price, 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 (NO DISCOUNTS); 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
