115 Guyton\Walker b. 1972/1969 Untitled #3, 2009 silkscreen, inkjet and acrylic on canvas laid on board 68 7/8 x 52 in. (175 x 132.1 cm) Estimate $150,000-250,000 provenance Private Collection exhibited Venice, 53rd International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Making Worlds, June 2 - November 22, 2009
Guyton\Walker, the artistic partnership of Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker since 2004, has borne one of the most prolifc collaborations in contemporary art of recent memory. In melding both artists’ distinctive practices of appropriation and image manipulation through analog and digital means, Guyton\Walker further develop their interrogation of authorship, authenticity, and the authority of the artist’s hand. The duo liberally borrows motifs from art and design to create their ofen brightly colored, pop-infected digital compositions, which are then silkscreened and inkjet-printed onto canvases, drywall, paint cans formica tables,
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_2-93_BL.indd 26
plastic glassware, and mattresses. The use of utilitarian materials is no mere whimsical touch but further blurs the lines between art and design, art and commodity. The present lot comes from one of Guyton\Walker’s most lauded shows at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009 when they were included in the exhibition Making Worlds, curated by Daniel Birnbaum who served as the director of the Biennale that year. The union of their two hands, eyes, and minds indeed results in a “new world” of creative possibility – the conglomeration of these two independently successful and talented artists working in tandem as one.

property from
a private american collec tion Embodying the qualities of timelessness, conceptual rigor and enduring beauty, the Private American Collection exemplifes a precise curatorial vision that defly weds contemporary sensibilities to classical values. The result is a seminal group of works which is to be both distinctly of the now and everlasting in its resonance. Spanning the disciplines of painting, sculpture and photography, the collection was assembled with an unerring and discerning eye, a sincere refection of the collectors’ sophisticated tastes and generous values. Grounding the following selection is a group of John Chamberlain works ranging from an important Untitled, 1961 cut-paper collage to an intimately scaled, but monumentally expressive, later metal sculpture, Tonk #10-83. The power and relevancy of these works is no less prevalent today than they were upon the works conception and creation. The texture of these pieces make them irresistibly tactile and approachable. In equal but opposite ways to the smooth perfection of Anish Kapoor’s Untitled acrylic cube, Tony Cragg’s ROUND THE BLOCK oscillates in the space it
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_2-93_BL.indd 41
occupies through its malleable forms and sof tin patina. Obfuscating the boundary between sculpture and photography, paper drop (blue) by Wolfgang Tillmans, one of four examples ofered in this selection, is a beautiful example of the artist’s ability to redefne the parameters of the medium of photography. Elegantly depicting the simplest of found forms, paper drop (blue) exudes an immediate and surreal beauty, dissolving the boundary between thought and feeling, viewer and object. An attentive curatorial eye for superlative and important examples by singular artists is a testament to the care that was given to establishing a true and illuminating dialogue between painting, sculpture and photography. This Private American Collection has, at its core, a deep and profound respect for the art and artists who have continued to push the boundaries of what culture is able to accomplish and afect in its production and appreciation. The collectors’ attention to the zeitgeist is indicative of the desire to support the artists working in their time. Such is the mentality of a true collector and connoisseur of the new.

“One way to act is to defne a boundary and to move toward the center implied by it. I’m doing the opposite, defning a center and moving outward toward the boundaries.” FRED SANDBACk, 1975
A simple red elastic cord allows Fred Sandback to draw in space. Comparing a piece of sting to the line of number 2 pencil, he strives for the purest of forms, an innocent geometric shape. The present lot, Untitled, 1972 hinges out from the wall, drawing an open topped box; defning depth where there is none. Within the present lot, Sandback continues his quest to create “a strong, immediate, and beautiful situation.” (Fred Sandback, 1975) Untitled, 1972 expresses no uncertainty or hesitance, it stands with clarity, having eliminated the decorative materiality of sculpture, making space its medium. By rejecting the notion of mark
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_Ruscha-fold-out-54-55.indd 4
making, Sandback has made the act of isolating space his fnal creation. The artist explains his wish to “get hold of things in the everyday way,” to approach the limitations of defnite depth. For Sandback, “surfaces seem to imply that what’s interesting is either in front of them or behind them. Interiors are elusive. You can’t ever see an interior. Like eating an artichoke, you keep peeling away exteriors until there’s nothing lef, looking for the essence of something.” Untitled, 1972 reveals that essence with resounding beauty and graceful specifcity.

Painted at a pivotal moment in his career, Ross Bleckner’s Cage of 1986 is emblematic of many of the themes and painterly issues with which the artist was grappling at the time. Emblazoned with hauntingly beautiful green, white and blue stripes of varying saturation and density, Cage plays with the materiality of light as both progenitor of and respondent to the visual world as well as its metaphorical connotations of liberation and freedom. The humming birds, scattered throughout the composition, similarly embody this metaphoric gravity trapped as they are above and behind these bands but also within the picture plane – beings constantly in motion yet simultaneously hovering, still and immobile.

Even as the work clearly elucidates many of the theoretical concerns of paintings being discussed in the mid-1980s, Cage additionally directly tackles the politicization of the arts, and of the artist’s practice, with the ascendant realization of the severity and trauma of the AIDS crisis at the time. No longer seeing ft to paint purely abstract pictures of their own accord, Bleckner realized and began to incorporate a greater consideration of how his practice and his art were afected by and could comment on the most pertinent issue of the day. As such, Cage is the embodiment of this infection point in Bleckner’s career and a seminal work by the artist, recognized by no less a socially aware philanthropist and collector as Vera List, in whose collection this work resided for many years.

The bold, ordered, and strikingly simple sculptures of Donald Judd were believed by the artist to be “products of creative imagination just as much as classical sculptures and fgurative bronzes” causing him to reject the term minimalist (A. Hamilton, “Space odyssey: Donald Judd –space, light and sculptures that take on a life of their own”, The Independent, August 13, 2013). In the early 1960s, Judd turned towards creating free standing, three-dimensional objects afer having abandoned painting. With an interest in repetition and simplicity, which would become hallmarks of his work, Judd separated himself from conventional categories of art. In his text, Specifc Objects (published in 1965), Judd discussed how his works existed outside the realms of traditional sculpture and painting, refuting archaic defnitions and paving the way for a new manner of discussing and examining objects. Throughout his practice, Judd was increasingly aware of, and focused on, the inherent power and quality of color. Beginning in 1983, Judd created
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_94-145_BL.indd 108
horizontal, aluminum wall sculptures where color reasserted its centrality within his oeuvre and his ideas on art more generally. Untitled (89-26), 1989, hails from Judd’s critically acclaimed Swiss Box series. Begun in 1983, the series witnessed Judd’s new-found exuberance as a colorist. With such works as the present lot, Judd started incorporating the brilliant hues of industrial paints in his sculptures treating color formally as an object. Untitled (89-26) is a classic intimate Judd volumetric wall piece. As the viewer moves across the work, subtle elements of the work begin to emerge. Judd creates a void where space, light and object play and intertwine to create an internal pool of colors. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Judd produced radical works that eschewed the classical European ideals of representational sculpture and has continued to inspire succeeding generations of artists and designers. The present work is an excellent example of Judd’s deep respect for his materials and ideas but also the manner in which those elements are assembled into a discrete object of interminable beauty and attraction.

195 Roy Lichtenstein 1923-1997 Red Apple (Study), 1980 graphite, painted paper collage on paper 28 1/2 x 21 3/4 in. (72.4 x 55.2 cm) Signed and dated “R Lichtenstein 80” lower right. Estimate $250,000-350,000 provenance Gifed by the artist to the present owner
Red Apple (Study), 1980, is a two-fold allusion and evidence of Lichtenstein’s disparate pictorial vocabulary. The work quotes the artist’s pervasive apple motif which is superimposed upon a salute to the bravura brushstroke of the Abstract Expressionists. The result is a stylized pop-art parody of two hallmarks of traditional painting: the still life as subject matter and the brushstroke as a window into the artist’s soul. Lichtenstein had pursued the apple motif in his mature work as early as 1972 and would continue to investigate the nature of the still-life throughout his career. Commenting on his use of allusions and the nature of drawing, Lichtenstein wrote, “Generally artists, when they draw, are not really seeing nature as it is. They are projecting on nature with their familiarity with other people’s art.” (R. Lichtenstein as quoted by J.F.March, Roy Lichtenstein Beginning to
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_94-145_BL.indd 126
End, Madrid: Fundacion Juan March, 2007, p. 62) Taking as his subject a fruit, Lichtenstein draws directly from the familiar and natural, stylizing it to the point of abstraction and making it his own. Lichtenstein’s brushstrokes, dating from about 1965-1966, have a distinctive history as parody of the subconscious expression of ideas through the artist’s hand so central to Abstract Expressionism. The brushstrokes were made with calculation and care; the very mechanical methods and aids he employed functioning as the antithesis to all romantic ideas attached to the artist’s gesture and stroke. The coupling of the apple motif and the brushstroke is a perfect parody of the canon of western painting and a similarly perfect manifestation of all of Lichtenstein’s painting prowess.

My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can. Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic. KEITH HArINg
Keith Haring became a prominent fgure in New York’s East Village art scene of the 1970s and 1980s afer receiving attention for the bold and energetic drawings and patterns he drew on the streets of the city and in the subways. The present lot, Untitled from 1984, is an excellent example of how Haring translated his earlier style, honed on the streets of the city, into stunning works on paper and canvas. He reduced his forms and ideas to the simplest primary element: a thick black line boldly outlining his subject matter. Foreshadowing his battle with AIDS, Haring explored darker themes throughout his oeuvre including serpents, monsters,
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_94-145_BL.indd 136
fallen angels, and cannibals. Ostensibly smiling, the multi-ocular creature depicted here seemingly waves at the viewer using tentacle eyeballs with an unbroken gaze. What possible threat this fgure represents is impossible to determine for sure, and rendered as it is in Haring’s quick, bold line, the impression it leaves is one of both interested wonder and cautious concern. Haring’s inimitable style is immediately apparent and lends the work an imprimatur and impressionability that is as captivating as the bizarre subject itself.

Jean-Michel Basquiat began his career as a grafti artist under the pseudonym SAMO, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. His grafti background is apparent in the raw, graphic and fresh lines of this Untitled, 1983. For Basquiat, drawing was an equal medium to painting. Uniquely able to articulate the energy of the artist in the immediacy of putting pen to paper, drawing had an equal potential for powerful expression. He frst applied this immediacy of thought and action to writing grafti, which requires a quick hand. In the present work, the graphic style of street art is fused with experiments in semiotics, and refects the artist’s inner thoughts and feelings. Employing imagery culled from his social and cultural milieu of the 1980s downtown New York scene, he has created a composition full of power symbols– the full meanings of which are not immediately comprehensible.
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_94-145_BL.indd 138
For Basquiat, symbols represented the world at its most basic level. As an ensemble, they generate an intellectual equation made even more mysterious by their pointed lack of clear explanation or translation. Although they may be equations, they are not meant to be solved or deciphered through any linear formula. In creating and destroying, in scribbling and crossing out, Basquiat deters a defnitive decoding of his work, leaving it open to infnite permutations and interpretative possibilities. In this way, he created “a calculated incoherence, calibrating the mystery of what such apparently meaning-laden pictures might ultimately mean.” (M. Meyer, “Basquiat in History”, Basquiat, exh. cat., Brooklyn Museum of Art, 2005, p. 51) Untitled from 1983 is a poignant example of this enigmatic artist and the powerful, yet elusive, oeuvre with which he has indelibly infuenced the trajectory of contemporary western art far into the twenty-frst century.

Over the past two decades, Lisa Yuskavage has created a unique oeuvre that portrays young women from multiple and simultaneous perspectives – at once vulgar and angelic, erotic and elegant, cartoonish and meditative. She sets out to examine and play with the relationship of sof-focus pornography of the 1970s and the traditional ideals of female beauty found in the canvases of old masters. In what at frst glance appears to be kitsch, Yuskavage’s paintings focus on contemporary culture and the manner in which it afects both the self-perception and the external judgments of these young people.
In Scout, Yuskavage creates a fantastically luminous moment set against an ambiguous landscape that shows color is of great importance to the artist. Yuskavage depicts a young naïf standing centrally upon a knoll. Behind her, the setting sun glows richly, casting her in shadow even as it illuminates the rich emerald sky, streaked through with bizarre and slightly menacingly thin, sharp clouds. The streaming light turns her thin camisole nearly transparent as it billows up, blown by a gentle breeze, exposing her ever so slightly. She stands demurely, arms clasped behind her back with her eyes turned skyward, reverent in their gaze. Yuskavage seems to be alluding to the numerous Greek myths in which Zeus assumes a natural form in order to indulge in various indiscretions with mortals. Indeed, Scout is a canvas with a particularly alluring ambiguity and tragic beauty. The artist does not cast blame or make any attacks on the cultural, historical or social constructs that inform her paintings. She merely draws on her own experiences and observations. In a conversation with Chuck Close, Yuskavage commented, “I have no interest in pointing the fnger anywhere but at myself … I am interested in making work about how things are rather than how they should be. I exploit what’s dangerous and what scares me about myself. (Yuskavage, in “Interview: Chuck Close Talks with Lisa Yuskavage”, Lisa Yuskavage, New York, 1996, pp. 20-31) Scout is a fantastic example of how the artist is able to transform these vulnerabilities into wonderfully absorbing pictorial allusions.

The motif of the present lot was initially adopted by Jim Dine in the early 1960’s afer the artist came across an advert for bathrobes in the New York Times Magazine. For Dine, the robe represented a self-portrait; the outline of the garment echoing his physical presence and yet the banality of a nondescript everyday item gave cause to an emotive personal portrayal. Dine has consistently revisited this theme throughout his career. The present example, which features two crimson colored gowns set amid bright fecks of color, layers this autobiographical insight with a vibrancy that plays contrast to the vacant bathrobes. The solitary fgure outlines embedded in their busy colorful surroundings contemplate the juxtaposition of the artist’s interior life with the public consumption of his creative output.
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_146-183_NO_DOPPIO_RIFILO.indd 169
Born in Ohio, 1935, Dine’s work is ofen associated with the American pop art movement, having shared countless shows with contemporaries such as Roy Lichtenstien and Andy Warhol. His diverse artistic output in a variety of media, which also includes print-making, sculpture and performance art, has forged a highly prolifc career and seen the artist stage approximately 300 solo exhibitions worldwide. The present lot exemplifes this oeuvre with one of his most recognizable subjects and encompasses the artists unwavering analysis of self-expression.

PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT EUROPEAN COLLECTION Lots 240-244 A seminal artist of his generation, Martin Kippenberger’s genre-busting practice, brash yet keen critical intellect, and bombastic lifestyle continues to fascinate, challenge and inspire 18 years afer his untimely death. As a post war artist following on from Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimalism and Conceptualism, Kippenberger felt the artist faced an increasing struggle to retain originality and authenticity. With characteristic verve, he tackled this challenge head on—taking on the history of art, the notion of the artist hero, the hallowed status of painting—and gifed us with a diverse body of work spanning paintings, drawings, sculptures and photographs in his short but prolifc career. No fgure or idea was safe from Kippenberger’s caustic critical eye, and no material too sacred or lowbrow for deployment.
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_146-183_NO_DOPPIO_RIFILO.indd 178
The following group comprised of sculpture, collage and drawings, pulsate with originality and the manic energy of this singular talent. They include early examples of his Hotel drawings, made on hotel stationary, a series which Kippenberger continued until his death. These drawings include studies for his iconic Peter sculptures. In addition to these works, Opel Manta Sculpture, Kippenberger’s wooden dashboards, fashioned from the interior of the popular German car marque, demonstrate the artist’s wry sense of humor having been conceived through the joke“ What goes through the head of an Opel Manta driver when he drives into a tree?” Amongst the aforementioned are also his collage pieces which touch upon the artist’s multi-faceted approach to his art- combining various materials to produce works which are visually rich in texture. The featured group of works, which have originated from an important European collection, epitomize the radical nature of Kippenberger’s legacy.

The career of Llewellyn Xavier inevitably raises the issue of a “Caribbean,” “Antillean,” even “St. Lucian” sensibility in the visual arts. Current dialogues about art in the Caribbean revolve around the notion that the Caribbean is as much a state of mind as it is a marker of locale. If the destiny of island citizens is to migrate, circumnavigate, emigrate and immigrate, their lives and careers—and in this case art production— embody fux, change and mutation. Xavier himself lef St. Lucia for Barbados, before going on to London and then the United States, and fnally returning to his native island to settle and work.[...]
Xavier’s own response to what Edward Lucie Smith describes as “the threats to the fragile ecology of the island,” is indeed the reaction of a son returning to his native land in the spirit of [Wifredo] Lam, [Aimé] Césaire and [Alejo] Carpentier, true pioneers in the cultural and political emancipation of the Caribbean. As the unique aspects of the St. Lucian environment continue to guide and impact the evolution of his imagery, then, Xavier stands as a vital force in the on-going dialogue of globalism and locality, cultural tourism and cultural sovereignty in the art of the Caribbean.

Mike Kelley’s oeuvre is punctuated by a critical investigation of the darker side of youth and the process of “growing up.” His career long examination of adolescent repression and the psychoanalytic reconsideration of childhood memories has produced a body of work that is both enlightening and deeply troubling. Interested in the communication of fractured and fabricated narratives, much of Kelley’s assumed biography and childhood trauma is in fact invented by the artist and assumes a sort of universality for the very history upon which he is commenting – the Middle American suburban ideal. Prenatal Mutual Recognition of Betty and Barney Hill, 1995 is from a series entitled Timeless Paintings which were originally exhibited in the artist’s seminal show at Metro Pictures in New York, 1995. Comprised of these paintings exhibited around architectural models of every school the artist attended, the show was an exercise in psychoanalytic determination. The present work depicts two young children, mouths agape in a sexually suggestive fashion, on an irregularly shaped canvas. Aside from their two faces, the composition is largely abstract with two large Hofmann-esque blocks of color obscuring whatever other narrative component may be included beneath. An allusion to the sort of painting he was taught in art school, the panels serve to illustrate the artist’s belief that abstract art itself is repressive in the sense that it distorts and obscures narrative structure. Intriguing and mesmerizing, Prenatal Mutual Recognition of Betty and Barney Hill is rife with analytical allusion and playful artistry. Adult reinterpretations of childhood and childhood memories have become an important subject for many of this generation’s most infuential contemporary artists. Ranging from Jef Koons’s playful Popples, 1988, to Urs Fischer’s monumental sculpture Untitled (Lamp/Bear), 2005-2006, artists have appropriated images taken from childhood as a way of drawing the viewer into the work. Kelley’s fxation on the subject has made works like Prenatal Mutual Recognition of Betty and Barney Hill among the most polarizing and lauded objects to tackle this delicate subject matter.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS BUYING AT AUCTION The following pages are designed to ofer you information on how to buy at auction at Phillips. Our staf will be happy to assist you. CONDITIONS OF SALE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty which appear later in this catalogue govern the auction. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read them as they outline the legal relationship among Phillips, the seller and the buyer and describe the terms upon which property is bought at auction. Please be advised that Phillips generally acts as agent for the seller. BUYER’S PREMIUM Phillips charges the successful bidder a commission, or buyer’s premium, on the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price at the following rates: 25% of the hammer price up to and including $100,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $100,000 up to and including $2,000,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above $2,000,000.
Symbol Key The following key explains the symbols you may see inside this catalogue. O ♦ Guaranteed Property The seller of lots designated with the symbol O has been guaranteed a minimum price fnanced solely by Phillips. Where the guarantee is provided by a third party or jointly by us and a third party, the property will be denoted with the symbols O ♦. When a third party has fnanced all or part of our fnancial interest in a lot, it assumes all or part of the risk that the lot will not be sold and will be remunerated accordingly. The compensation will be a fxed fee, a percentage of the hammer price or the buyer’s premium or some combination of the foregoing. The third party may bid on the guaranteed lot during the auction. If the third party is the successful bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the fnal purchase price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. Where Phillips has guaranteed a minimum price on every lot in the catalogue, Phillips will not designate each lot with the symbol(s) for the guaranteed property but will state our fnancial interest at the front of the catalogue.
1 PRIOR TO AUCTION
∆ Property in Which Phillips Has an Ownership Interest Lots with this symbol indicate that Phillips owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest.

Pre-Sale Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid within the high and low estimate range should, in our opinion, ofer a chance of success. However, many lots achieve prices below or above the pre-sale estimates. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the specialist department for further information. It is advisable to contact us closer to the time of the auction as estimates can be subject to revision. Pre-sale estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or any applicable taxes.
∑ Endangered Species
Pre-Sale Estimates in Pounds Sterling and Euros Although the sale is conducted in US dollars, the pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogues may also be printed in pounds sterling and/or euros. Since the exchange rate is that at the time of catalogue production and not at the date of auction, you should treat estimates in pounds sterling or euros as a guide only.
2 BIDDING IN THE SALE
Catalogue Entries Phillips may print in the catalogue entry the history of ownership of a work of art, as well as the exhibition history of the property and references to the work in art publications. While we are careful in the cataloguing process, provenance, exhibition and literature references may not be exhaustive and in some cases we may intentionally refrain from disclosing the identity of previous owners. Please note that all dimensions of the property set forth in the catalogue entry are approximate. Condition of Lots Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property and the nature of the auction in which it is included. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staf are not professional restorers or trained conservators. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of signifcant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding. Any prospective buyer of photographs or prints should always request a condition report because all such property is sold unframed, unless otherwise indicated in the condition report. If a lot is sold framed, Phillips accepts no liability for the condition of the frame. If we sell any lot unframed, we will be pleased to refer the purchaser to a professional framer. Pre-Auction Viewing Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment. Electrical and Mechanical Lots All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verifed and approved by a qualifed electrician.
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_242-283_BL.indd 264
No Reserve Unless indicated by a •, all lots in this catalogue are ofered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confdential value established between Phillips and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.
Lots with this symbol have been identifed at the time of cataloguing as containing endangered or other protected species of wildlife which may be subject to restrictions regarding export or import and which may require permits for export as well as import. Please refer to Paragraph 4 of the Guide for Prospective Buyers and Paragraph 11 of the Conditions of Sale.
Bidding at Auction Bids may be executed during the auction in person by paddle, by telephone, online or prior to the sale in writing by absentee bid. Proof of identity in the form of government issued identifcation will be required, as will an original signature. We may also require that you furnish us with a bank reference. Bidding in Person To bid in person, you will need to register for and collect a paddle before the auction begins. New clients are encouraged to register at least 48 hours in advance of a sale to allow sufcient time for us to process your information. All lots sold will be invoiced to the name and address to which the paddle has been registered and invoices cannot be transferred to other names and addresses. Please do not misplace your paddle. In the event you lose it, inform a Phillips staf member immediately. At the end of the auction, please return your paddle to the registration desk. Bidding by Telephone If you cannot attend the auction, you may bid live on the telephone with one of our multilingual staf members. This service must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance of the sale and is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least $1,000. Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, you consent to the recording of your conversation. We suggest that you leave a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes, which we can execute on your behalf in the event we are unable to reach you by telephone. Online Bidding If you cannot attend the auction in person, you may bid online on our online live bidding platform available on our website at www.phillips.com (Flash plugin is required). You must pre-register by clicking on ‘Buy’ in the drop-down menu under the ‘Buy and Sell’ button on the Home Page, then click on ‘pre-register’ under ‘ONLINE LIVE BIDDING.’ You must pre-register at least 24 hours before the start of the auction in order to be approved by our bid department. Please note that corporate frewalls may cause difculties for online bidders. Absentee Bids If you are unable to attend the auction and cannot participate by telephone, Phillips will be happy to execute written bids on your behalf. A bidding form can be found at the back of this catalogue. This service is free and confdential. Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale. Our staf will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Always indicate a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes. Unlimited bids will not be accepted. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

Employee Bidding Employees of Phillips and our afliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures. Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. Absentee bids that do not conform to the increments set below may be lowered to the next bidding increment. $50 to $1,000 $1,000 to $2,000 $2,000 to $3,000 $3,000 to $5,000 $5,000 to $10,000 $10,000 to $20,000 $20,000 to $30,000 $30,000 to $50,000 $50,000 to $100,000 $100,000 to $200,000 above $200,000
by $50s by $100s by $200s by $200s, 500, 800 (i.e., $4,200, 4,500, 4,800) by $500s by $1,000s by $2,000s by $2,000s, 5,000, 8,000 by $5,000s by $10,000s auctioneer’s discretion
The auctioneer may vary the increments during the course of the auction at his or her own discretion. 3 THE AUCTION Conditions of Sale As noted above, the auction is governed by the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty. All prospective bidders should read them carefully. They may be amended by saleroom addendum or auctioneer’s announcement. Interested Parties Announcement In situations where a person allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the benefciary or executor of an estate selling the lot, a joint owner of the lot or a party providing or participating in a guarantee on the lot, Phillips will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot.
Loss or Damage Buyers are reminded that Phillips accepts liability for loss or damage to lots for a maximum of seven days following the auction. Transport and Shipping As a free service for buyers, Phillips will wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We will, at the buyer’s expense, either provide packing, handling and shipping services or coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer in order to facilitate such services for property purchased at Phillips. Please refer to Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Sale for more information. Export and Import Licenses Before bidding for any property, prospective bidders are advised to make independent inquiries as to whether a license is required to export the property from the United States or to import it into another country. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to comply with all import and export laws and to obtain any necessary licenses or permits. The denial of any required license or permit or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value, may require a license or certifcate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certifcates upon importation to any foreign country. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certifcate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certifcate in another country, and vice versa. We suggest that prospective bidders check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licenses or certifcates as well as any other required documentation. Please note that lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Phillips does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.
Consecutive and Responsive Bidding; No Reserve Lots The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. If a lot is ofered without reserve, unless there are already competing absentee bids, the auctioneer will generally open the bidding at 50% of the lot’s low pre-sale estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer will proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized and will then advance the bidding from that amount. Absentee bids on no reserve lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low pre-sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate. If there is no bid whatsoever on a no reserve lot, the auctioneer may deem such lot unsold. 4 AFTER THE AUCTION Payment Buyers are required to pay for purchases immediately following the auction unless other arrangements are agreed with Phillips in writing in advance of the sale. Payment must be made in US dollars either by cash, check drawn on a US bank or wire transfer, as noted in Paragraph 6 of the Conditions of Sale. It is our corporate policy not to make or accept single or multiple payments in cash or cash equivalents in excess of US$10,000. Credit Cards As a courtesy to clients, Phillips will accept American Express, Visa and Mastercard to pay for invoices of $100,000 or less. A processing fee will apply. Collection It is our policy to request proof of identity on collection of a lot. A lot will be released to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative when Phillips has received full and cleared payment and we are not owed any other amount by the buyer. Promptly afer the auction, we will transfer all lots to our warehouse located at 29-09 37th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, New York. All purchased lots should be collected at this location during our regular weekday business hours. As a courtesy to clients, we will upon request transfer purchased lots suitable for hand carry back to our premises at 450 Park Avenue, New York, New York for collection within 30 days following the date of the auction. We will levy removal, interest, storage and handling charges on uncollected lots.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty set forth below govern the relationship between bidders and buyers, on the one hand, and Phillips and sellers, on the other hand. All prospective buyers should read these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty carefully before bidding. 1 INTRODUCTION Each lot in this catalogue is ofered for sale and sold subject to: (a) the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty; (b) additional notices and terms printed in other places in this catalogue, including the Guide for Prospective Buyers, and (c) supplements to this catalogue or other written material posted by Phillips in the saleroom, in each case as amended by any addendum or announcement by the auctioneer prior to the auction. By bidding at the auction, whether in person, through an agent, by written bid, by telephone bid or other means, bidders and buyers agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty. These Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty contain all the terms on which Phillips and the seller contract with the buyer. 2 PHILLIPS AS AGENT Phillips acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in this catalogue or at the time of auction. On occasion, Phillips may own a lot directly, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or a company afliated with Phillips may own a lot, in which case we will act as agent for that company, or Phillips or an afliated company may have a legal, benefcial or fnancial interest in a lot as a secured creditor or otherwise. 3 CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION OF PROPERTY Lots are sold subject to the Authorship Warranty, as described in the catalogue (unless such description is changed or supplemented, as provided in Paragraph 1 above) and in the condition that they are in at the time of the sale on the following basis. (a) The knowledge of Phillips in relation to each lot is partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and Phillips is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the lots in which they may be interested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in catalogue descriptions or condition reports as is consistent with our role as auctioneer of lots in this sale and in light of (i) the information provided to us by the seller, (ii) scholarship and technical knowledge and (iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made. (b) Each lot ofered for sale at Phillips is available for inspection by prospective buyers prior to the auction. Phillips accepts bids on lots on the basis that bidders (and independent experts on their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the nature and value of the lot and the bidder’s own expertise) have fully inspected the lot prior to bidding and have satisfed themselves as to both the condition of the lot and the accuracy of its description. (c) Prospective buyers acknowledge that many lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips may prepare and provide condition reports to assist prospective buyers when they are inspecting lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may make reference to particular imperfections of a lot, but bidders should note that lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. All dimensions are approximate. Illustrations are for identifcation purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. (d) Information provided to prospective buyers in respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by Phillips. Any pre-sale estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time by Phillips in our absolute discretion. Neither Phillips nor any of our afliated companies shall be liable for any diference between the pre-sale estimates for any lot and the actual price achieved at auction or upon resale. 4 BIDDING AT AUCTION (a) Phillips has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction or participation in the sale. All bidders must register for a paddle prior to bidding, supplying such information and references as required by Phillips. (b) As a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person, Phillips may, if so instructed by the bidder, execute written absentee bids on a bidder’s behalf. Absentee bidders are required to submit bids on the Absentee Bid Form, a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips. Bids must be placed in the currency
NY_CTA_DAY_MAY15_242-283_BL.indd 268
of the sale. The bidder must clearly indicate the maximum amount he or she intends to bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and any applicable sales or use taxes. The auctioneer will not accept an instruction to execute an absentee bid which does not indicate such maximum bid. Our staf will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence. (c) Telephone bidders are required to submit bids on the Telephone Bid Form, a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips. Telephone bidding is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least $1,000. Phillips reserves the right to require written confrmation of a successful bid from a telephone bidder by fax or otherwise immediately afer such bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Telephone bids may be recorded and, by bidding on the telephone, a bidder consents to the recording of the conversation. (d) Bidders may participate in an auction by bidding online through Phillips’s online live bidding platform available on our website at www.phillips.com. To bid online, bidders must register online at least 24 hours before the start of the auction. Online bidding is subject to approval by Phillips’s bid department in our sole discretion. As noted in Paragraph 3 above, Phillips encourages online bidders to inspect prior to the auction any lot(s) on which they may bid, and condition reports are available upon request. Bidding in a live auction can progress quickly. To ensure that online bidders are not placed at a disadvantage when bidding against bidders in the room or on the telephone, the procedure for placing bids through Phillips’s online bidding platform is a one-step process. By clicking the bid button on the computer screen, a bidder submits a bid. Online bidders acknowledge and agree that bids so submitted are fnal and may not under any circumstances be amended or retracted. During a live auction, when bids other than online bids are placed, they will be displayed on the online bidder’s computer screen as ‘foor,’ ‘phone’ or ‘paddle no’ bids. ‘Floor’ bids include bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. In the event that an online bid and a ‘foor’ or ‘phone’ bid are identical, the ‘foor’ or ‘phone’ bid will take precedence. The next bidding increment is shown for the convenience of online bidders under the bid button. The bidding increment available to online bidders may vary from the next bid actually taken by the auctioneer, as the auctioneer may deviate from Phillips’s standard increments at any time at his or her discretion, but an online bidder may only place a bid in a whole bidding increment. Phillips’s bidding increments are published in the Guide for Prospective Buyers. (e) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, as described more fully in Paragraph 6 (a) below, plus all other applicable charges unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Phillips before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identifed third party acceptable to Phillips and that we will only look to the principal for such payment. (f) By participating in the auction, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, each prospective buyer represents and warrants that any bids placed by such person, or on such person’s behalf, are not the product of any collusive or other anticompetitive agreement and are otherwise consistent with federal and state antitrust law. (g) Arranging absentee, telephone and online bids is a free service provided by Phillips to prospective buyers. While we undertake to exercise reasonable care in undertaking such activity, we cannot accept liability for failure to execute such bids except where such failure is caused by our willful misconduct. (h) Employees of Phillips and our afliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures. 5 CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol •, each lot is ofered subject to a reserve, which is the confdential minimum selling price agreed by Phillips with the seller. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction. (b) The auctioneer has discretion at any time to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, re-ofer a lot for sale (including afer the fall of the hammer) if he or she believes there may be error or dispute and take such other action as he or she deems reasonably appropriate. Phillips shall have no liability whatsoever for any such action taken by the auctioneer. If any dispute arises afer the sale, our sale record is conclusive. The auctioneer may accept bids made by a company afliated with Phillips provided that the bidder does not know the reserve placed on the lot. (c) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he or she considers appropriate. In order to protect the reserve on any lot, the auctioneer may place one or more bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve without indicating he or she is doing so, either by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. If a lot is ofered without reserve, unless there are already competing absentee bids,

the auctioneer will generally open the bidding at 50% of the lot’s low pre-sale estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer will proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized and will then advance the bidding from that amount. Absentee bids on no reserve lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low pre-sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate. If there is no bid whatsoever on a no reserve lot, the auctioneer may deem such lot unsold. (d) The sale will be conducted in US dollars and payment is due in US dollars. For the beneft of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in pounds sterling and/or euros and, if so, will refect approximate exchange rates. Accordingly, estimates in pounds sterling or euros should be treated only as a guide. If a currency converter is operated during the sale, it is done so as a courtesy to bidders, but Phillips accepts no responsibility for any errors in currency conversion calculation. (e) Subject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of the hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot passes to the buyer as set forth in Paragraph 7 below. (f) If a lot is not sold, the auctioneer will announce that it has been “passed,” “withdrawn,” “returned to owner” or “bought-in.” (g) Any post-auction sale of lots ofered at auction shall incorporate these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty as if sold in the auction. 6 PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT (a) The buyer agrees to pay us, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyer’s premium and any applicable sales tax (the “Purchase Price”). The buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including $100,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $100,000 up to and including $2,000,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above $2,000,000. Phillips reserves the right to pay from our compensation an introductory commission to one or more third parties for assisting in the sale of property ofered and sold at auction. (b) Sales tax, use tax and excise and other taxes are payable in accordance with applicable law. All prices, fees, charges and expenses set out in these Conditions of Sale are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes. Phillips will only accept valid resale certifcates from US dealers as proof of exemption from sales tax. All foreign buyers should contact the Client Accounting Department about tax matters. (c) Unless otherwise agreed, a buyer is required to pay for a purchased lot immediately following the auction regardless of any intention to obtain an export or import license or other permit for such lot. Payments must be made by the invoiced party in US dollars either by cash, check drawn on a US bank or wire transfer, as follows: (i) Phillips will accept payment in cash provided that the total amount paid in cash or cash equivalents does not exceed US$10,000. Buyers paying in cash should do so in person at our Client Accounting Desk at 450 Park Avenue during regular weekday business hours. (ii) Personal checks and banker’s drafs are accepted if drawn on a US bank and the buyer provides to us acceptable government issued identifcation. Checks and banker’s drafs should be made payable to “Phillips.” If payment is sent by mail, please send the check or banker’s draf to the attention of the Client Accounting Department at 450 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022 and make sure that the sale and lot number is written on the check. Checks or banker’s drafs drawn by third parties will not be accepted. (iii) Payment by wire transfer may be sent directly to Phillips. Bank transfer details: Citibank 322 West 23rd Street, New York, NY 10011 SWIFT Code: CITIUS33 ABA Routing: 021 000 089 For the account of Phillips Account no.: 58347736 Please reference the relevant sale and lot number. (d) As a courtesy to clients, Phillips will accept American Express, Visa and Mastercard to pay for invoices of $100,000 or less. A processing fee of 3.5% will apply.
7 COLLECTION OF PROPERTY (a) Phillips will not release a lot to the buyer until we have received payment of its Purchase Price in full in cleared funds, the buyer has paid all outstanding amounts due to Phillips or any of our afliated companies, including any charges payable pursuant to Paragraph 8 (a) below, and the buyer has satisfed such other terms as we in our sole discretion shall require, including completing any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism fnancing checks. As soon as a buyer has satisfed all of the foregoing conditions, he or she should contact our Shipping Department at +1 212 940 1372 or +1 212 940 1373 to arrange for collection of purchased property. (b) The buyer must arrange for collection of a purchased lot within seven days of the date of the auction. Promptly afer the auction, we will transfer all lots to our warehouse located at 29-09 37th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, New York. All purchased lots should be collected at this location during our regular weekday business hours. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips will upon request transfer on a bi-weekly basis purchased lots suitable for hand-carry back to our premises at 450 Park Avenue, New York, New York for collection within 30 days following the date of the auction. Purchased lots are at the buyer’s risk, including the responsibility for insurance, from the earlier to occur of (i) the date of collection or (ii) seven days afer the auction. Until risk passes, Phillips will compensate the buyer for any loss or damage to a purchased lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price paid, subject to our usual exclusions for loss or damage to property. (c) As a courtesy to clients, Phillips will, without charge, wrap purchased lots for handcarry only. We will, at the buyer’s expense, either provide packing, handling, insurance and shipping services or coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer in order to facilitate such services for property bought at Phillips. Any such instruction, whether or not made at our recommendation, is entirely at the buyer’s risk and responsibility, and we will not be liable for acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers. Third party shippers should contact us by telephone at +1 212 940 1376 or by fax at +1 212 924 6477 at least 24 hours in advance of collection in order to schedule pickup. (d) Phillips will require presentation of government issued identifcation prior to release of a lot to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative. 8 FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (a) If the buyer pays the Purchase Price but fails to collect a purchased lot within 30 days of the auction, the buyer will incur a late collection fee of $10 per day for each uncollected lot. Additional charges may apply to oversized lots. We will not release purchased lots to the buyer until all such charges have been paid in full. (b) If a purchased lot is paid for but not collected within six months of the auction, the buyer authorizes Phillips, upon notice, to arrange a resale of the item by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips’s reasonable discretion. The proceeds of such sale will be applied to pay for storage charges and any other outstanding costs and expenses owed by the buyer to Phillips or our afliated companies and the remainder will be forfeited unless collected by the buyer within two years of the original auction. 9 REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT (a) Without prejudice to any rights the seller may have, if the buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment of the Purchase Price for a lot in cleared funds within seven days of the auction, Phillips may in our sole discretion exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) store the lot at Phillips’s premises or elsewhere at the buyer’s sole risk and expense at the same rates as set forth in Paragraph 8 (a) above; (ii) cancel the sale of the lot, retaining any partial payment of the Purchase Price as liquidated damages; (iii) reject future bids from the buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit; (iv) charge interest at 12% per annum from the date payment became due until the date the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds; (v) subject to notifcation of the buyer, exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in the possession of Phillips and instruct our afliated companies to exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in their possession and, in each case, no earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice, arrange the sale of such property and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to Phillips or any of our afliated companies afer the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission and all sale-related expenses; (vi) resell the lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips reasonable discretion, it being understood that in the event such resale is for less than the original hammer price and buyer’s premium for that lot, the buyer will remain liable for the shortfall together with all costs incurred in such resale; (vii) commence legal proceedings to recover the hammer price and buyer’s premium for that lot, together with interest and the costs of such proceedings; (viii) set of the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer against any amounts which we or any of our afliated companies may owe the buyer in any other transactions; (ix) release the name and address of the buyer to the seller to enable the seller to commence legal proceedings to recover the amounts due and legal costs or (x) take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate.
(e) Title in a purchased lot will not pass until Phillips has received the Purchase Price for that lot in cleared funds. Phillips is not obliged to release a lot to the buyer until title in the lot has passed and appropriate identifcation has been provided, and any earlier release does not afect the passing of title or the buyer’s unconditional obligation to pay the Purchase Price.

(b) As security to us for full payment by the buyer of all outstanding amounts due to Phillips and our afliated companies, Phillips retains, and the buyer grants to us, a security interest in each lot purchased at auction by the buyer and in any other property or money of the buyer in, or coming into, our possession or the possession of one of our afliated companies. We may apply such money or deal with such property as the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law permits a secured creditor to do. In the event that we exercise a lien over property in our possession because the buyer is in default to one of our afliated companies, we will so notify the buyer. Our security interest in any individual lot will terminate upon actual delivery of the lot to the buyer or the buyer’s agent. (c) In the event the buyer is in default of payment to any of our afliated companies, the buyer also irrevocably authorizes Phillips to pledge the buyer’s property in our possession by actual or constructive delivery to our afliated company as security for the payment of any outstanding amount due. Phillips will notify the buyer if the buyer’s property has been delivered to an afliated company by way of pledge. 10 RESCISSION BY PHILLIPS Phillips shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind a sale without notice to the buyer if we reasonably believe that there is a material breach of the seller’s representations and warranties or the Authorship Warranty or an adverse claim is made by a third party. Upon notice of Phillips’s election to rescind the sale, the buyer will promptly return the lot to Phillips, and we will then refund the Purchase Price paid to us. As described more fully in Paragraph 13 below, the refund shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips and the seller with respect to such rescinded sale. 11 EXPORT, IMPORT AND ENDANGERED SPECIES LICENSES AND PERMITS Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own inquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the US or to import it into another country. Prospective buyers are advised that some countries prohibit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips has marked in the catalogue lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species. 12 DATA PROTECTION (a) In connection with the supply of auction and related services, or as required by law, Phillips may ask clients to provide personal data.

(b) In any claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty, Phillips reserves the right, as a condition to rescinding any sale under this warranty, to require the buyer to provide to us at the buyer’s expense the written opinions of two recognized experts approved in advance by Phillips.
