When Joan Miró wrote that “the march of the world is leading towards collectivity” he likely drew from his experiences with printmaking. The comradery and shared activities of printing processes enlivened the Catalan master. Friendship prompted his frst foray into printing; conversations and admirations among Miró and surrealist poets during the early 1930s resulted in printed illustrations that were among his earliest graphics. Print shops provided Miró with welcome breaks from the solitude of a painting studio as well as dialogue with the outside world. Miró’s lithographs and etchings resulted from happenstance occurrences and personal interactions unlike his paintings that were preceded by investigations in isolation. Master printers became Miró’s friends and provided great inspiration and comfort. He mentioned, “I work at my engraving in a team. . . They give me ideas and I take them fully into my confdence. But if you want to remain a star, it’s impossible.” Intaglio printmaking prohibited isolation; Miró’s etchings were a chorus of plate marks and personalities. Lots 1-5 are masterworks in the medium that date from Miró’s most advanced period. Depicting characters encountered throughout a life spent traversing France and Spain, his prints burst with the vigor of friendships, imagination and memories. Le Permissionnaire (Soldier on Leave), lot 1, was an of-duty and elated young soldier like one that Miró would have encountered throughout his travels during the great wars. Areas of vivid color and even a handprint ensconced a black fgure sprouting string-like appendages. Late-career etchings continued Miró’s legacy of depicting wide-ranging personalities with dimensionality though his unique eye of interpretation. The imperfection of humanity continually motivated Miró’s intaglios; Le Maréchal des logis (The Sergeant), lot 4, presented a dominant fgure commanding authority, yet looking like a whimsical bird. While he depicted L’Oustachi (The Ustachi), lot 5, as a fearful follower in vibrant colors,
the very next print he created, Le Brahmane (The Brahman) referenced the Hindu idea of supreme cosmic power! Miró’s cast of characters were diverse and flled with life. The large format and visual diversity of Le Sarrasin à l’étoile bleue (Saracen with Blue Star), lot 2, Le Permissionnaire and L’Oustachi were examples from a confdent master at liberty to improvise, work ambitiously and trust in his collaborators. Amongst all of these people, animals and surreal ideas, Miró asserted his unique form of whimsy as enjoyed in Souris rouge à la mantille (Red Mouse in the Mantilla), lot 3, and created two color versions using diferent plates and colors as well as a Pollock-style dripping of aquatint. Even during prolifc periods of his painting practice, Miró found motivation in waking up early to work at engraving. By the mid-1970s his output approached a ferocity that belied his advanced years. More than 60 intaglio prints were made between 1974 and 1975 alone, a testament to the vitality that Miró took from his work in the medium. Miró continued to engrave enthusiastically until his death in 1983 with a number of projects printed but not yet signed. His very last completed works from 1981, lots 137 and 138, Lapidari “Llibre de les propietats de les pedres” (Lapidary “Book of the Property of Stones”), lot 137, and one example from Llibre dels sis Sentits (Book of the Six Senses), lot 138, ended his illustrious career with a refection on the natural world.

Working in drawing almost exclusively until 1914, Klee was a master of works on paper. Klee’s lively drawings and prints elicited unexpected responses from his viewers. Many of Klee’s drawings were improvisational and vivifed by his signature energetic and thin line. Acting as an instrument of precision, Klee used his line to describe form and used his inks to reveal the delicate quality of paper. For this carbon transfer, Klee drew with a needle over an inked surface; the page received the image below as well as any ink transferred by the pressure of the artist’s hand. Carbon transfer was a technically ingenious and autographic method of drawing. Even though Klee’s hand remained invisible, it could be felt palpably pulsating through every inch of this 1930 drawing.

The block-form letters of Gray Alphabets recalled childhood toys. Like much of Johns’ work, this print explored forms that seemed familiar while presenting as something new. The ambitious lithograph, Gray Alphabets, was not about the alphabet but rather of the alphabet. Letters themselves were taken from commercial stencils that Johns purchased in order to create an ethos that seemed arbitrary. When asked whether he used these stencils because he liked them, or simply because that was how he had bought them, Johns replied, “ . . .that’s what I like about them, they come that way.” Johns played hide and seek with his imagery in Gray Alphabets through the use of transferring, overprinting and encoding as a kind of ceaseless act that merged fgure with ground. Created at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, Gray Alphabets required a complex printing process of four diferent matrices in four diferent colors of gray: two warm and two cool. Johns also used water-tusche, stencils and stamps in order to capture the characteristics of a graphite wash; subtlety of hand was of absolute necessity.
Forms of the Latin alphabet are a long-standing and important theme in Johns’ work. Johns sometimes regarded his paintings as models for future drawings and his drawings as explorations for works in other mediums. Two important works preceded Gray Alphabets. Before this 1968 lithograph, an encaustic and collage produced in 1956 was Johns’ early engagement with alphabet imagery. A later 1960 pencil and graphite-wash drawing explored the same imagery and was titled similarly. Upon completion, the Gray Alphabets lithograph was one of Johns’ largest prints and a great technical feat. In the printmaking studio Johns was eager to learn as much technical skill as possible, especially from master printers. One such renowned printmaker, Robert Blackburn remarked that Johns was the most demanding, the most specifc and the most empirical of all the artists with whom he had worked. Johns quickly discovered how making multiples could enhance his practice and he remained fascinated by printmaking’s ability to easily retain imagery. The continuous exploration that printmaking provided appealed to Johns as an opportunity for endless discovery.

The phrase was emblazoned seemingly everywhere; SEE AMERICA FIRST featured prominently in advertisements for railways, national parks and bus lines — as well as in America’s collective consciousness during the 1960s. Expert crafsman and Korean War veteran H.C. Westermann followed the advice by taking a long road trip prior to accepting a coveted invitation to print at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Hollywood. Afer a transcontinental trek to California, H.C. Westermann wrote about “A NEW RESPECT AND LOVE FOR THIS COUNTRY AFTER TAKING A TRIP ACROSS IT SLOW!/ A Tribute to America/ IT’S BEAUTIFUL.” Several preparatory travel sketches and watercolors preceded SEE AMERICA FIRST, Westermann’s expansive and tightly choreographed portfolio that was both a love letter to America as well as a warning about protecting the environment of the country that he held dear.
In the portfolio’s ffh plate a globe hovered above a scorched landscape with sharks encircling; Westermann captured the nascent energy of environmentalism during the 1960s. The teetering globe evoked insignia from the 1964 New York World’s Fair while announcing Westermann’s protective impulse amidst a moment of global optimism. In plate 9, seas engulfed one of Los Angeles’ tallest towers; tidal waves actually hit California while the artist and his wife visited. The bubbling stream in plate 12 that twisted along banks dotted with palm trees and under a stone bridge provided respite from the portfolio’s more daunting images in the manner of this picturesque Victorian landscape. Yet, above foated a blank banner; it was an epitaph to the illustrious pre-industrial landscapes that Westermann traversed en route to California. SEE AMERICA FIRST revealed Westermann’s protective perspective. He was a naval gunner in the Pacifc theatre at the end of World War II and never shook the vulnerability and responsibility that he felt during attacks by kamikaze. Large ships were frequent subjects for his sculptures that also featured in plates 4 and 16 of the portfolio; as one ship threw out a life preserver and another sat trapped in ice there was a cute polar bear among other swimming creatures. Humor was the life raf that Westermann lobbed to his viewers, which made otherwise alarming images agreeable. In the colophon Westermann dutifully remarked on all of his printer collaborators, writing “These. . .works are sincerely dedicated to the magnifcent young men who helped me + printed them <3. . .” and “Now out of due respect for these fne men, + Tamarind please be sure your hands are clean + remember that paper is fragile!!” Before departing the Tamarind printshop Westermann lef each of his collaborating printmakers a cash gif and hosted a thank you party. Unsurprisingly, Westermann rejected the canvas-covered portfolio covers that the Tamarind workshop provided to encase the portfolio. He opted instead to construct by hand using dowelling his own durable wood boxes together with his uncle, a highly-skilled wood carver, that were covered with a shellacked, wood-burn design of “Le Bandeur” or “the shaf,” the daily salute that he exchanged with his printers. Westermann observed that these wooden sculptures would “protect them [the prints] + keep the suites intact.” With his ambitious print portfolio Westermann aimed to protect America.

Frankenthaler’s most important and challenging print. Freefall is printed on sheets of TGL handmade paper that are dyed or stained with color before being printed with woodblocks. Frankenthaler began each print by “drawing” with dyed paper pulp on a freshly formed sheet, as if she were creating a work on paper with the pulp. The paper was like a blotter to which she added the dyed pulp, melding the fbers into a single entity. . . As always, she paid particular attention to the registration of the blocks so that there is neither an overlapping of the colors nor an unwanted gap between them.

The days between 14 May and 4 June in 1991 were the most productive of Helen Frankenthaler’s career in printmaking. Reuniting with monotype master printer Garner Tullis afer their initial 1982 collaboration, Frankenthaler sometimes made as many as fve monotypes a day at Tullis’ New York studio that spring. She remarked, “I bring the liberties of my painting studio to monotypes.”
Monotypes are unique works of art produced by painting directly upon a plate that is later pushed through a press. The technique can be vexing; the fnal image reads in reverse with those inks on the printing plate’s top layer appearing as a fnal work’s bottom layer. For this series of 30 monotypes Frankenthaler alternated between aluminum plates and woodblocks. Sometimes the ghost image of a previous work was used as a base layer for the next one. Helen Frankenthaler’s work on this group of monotypes later led to her The Clearing series.

Helen Frankenthaler reused the matrix carved for her 1980 woodcut Cameo in order to create the rich colors and textured elements of the present lot. Monoprint V resulted from Frankenthaler using a proof pulled for Cameo and then adding an uncarved woodblock and fnally hand-coloring this impression.
Monoprints and Monotypes are both techniques that produce unique works. Generally, Monotypes require that the artist work directly onto the plate — usually a thin and fat surface — from which the impression will be pulled. Monoprints difer from Monotypes in that such works could be made from any number of printing matrices such as woodblocks.

Andy Warhol captured the likeness of anyone within fve minutes of fame as well as of anyone else who could aford him. Warhol was “the court painter of the 70’s”, as art historian Robert Rosenblum described, and he began a new era for portraiture. His subjects were artists and ‘outcasts,’ movie-stars and friends, monarchs and athletes, basically anyone who could grace covers of magazines, gossip columns or newspapers. During the late 1960s Warhol moved away from sourcing his imagery from the tabloids and began working from his own photographs. Use of the bulky Polaroid “Big Shot” was his preferred method; the camera was perfectly outftted for close-ups. Warhol loved the decisions that the camera made for him, producing an instantaneous image that could be easily translated to screenprinting. Warhol’s portraiture enshrined a glamorous, talented, and showy ‘court;’ private commissions rolled in and became his big business. At frst Warhol was chasing afer the rich and famous but then the rich and famous chased him. Through his commissions Warhol attained a notoriety that harkened back to an age when artists were fnanced by wealthy patrons. Everybody who was anybody from the scene of Studio 54 or from Warhol’s cool and stylish Factory crew wanted a portrait.

Marilyn Monroe’s image most fascinated Warhol. Creating several works from the same publicity photo of the actress, Warhol lef for the world bold commemorations of her tragic end. The misalignment of contours, bleached out shadows, bright yellow hair and cherry red lips of lot 53, Marilyn Monroe, indicated Warhol’s signature palette. Marilyn looked familiar, yet by Andy’s hand she became diferent, at once removed from our world while still appearing tangled by the realities of it. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s Warhol’s portraits become simpler as he abandoned gestural elements. Lot 55, Mao, was an impish rendition of an iconic symbol now seen with blue lips. A child-like approach to coloring appeared again in his later 1985 portrait of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, lot 62, from his Reigning Queens series. Lot 60, Georgia O’Keefe, was among Warhol’s earliest uses of diamond dust in portraits. In this portrait Warhol refned the artist’s image; O’Keefe appeared contemplative and serious, revealing of Warhol’s admiration for the renowned painter. In lot 54, Muhammad Ali, there was a similar richness of printing as well as a sense of depth created through the use of miss-registration and overprinting. While at frst glance full insouciance, Warhol’s portraits upon closer viewing revealed something deeper about his sitters, all surface to be sure and yet full of prescient observations.

The 11 Pop Artists portfolios were a new center of gravity in America’s art history. These edgy compilations of fresh prints from then-emerging artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann, among others, launched new dialogues as artists engaged printmaking as a way to broadcast novel ideas more broadly. From 11 Pop Artists Volume II and III respectively, Reverie, lot 65, and Sweet Dreams Baby!, lot 66, signaled the meteoric rise of Roy Lichtenstein and endured as two of the greatest prizes in all Post-War printmaking. Mature and masterful, these images belied any notion that contributions to the 11 Pop Artists portfolios were Lichtenstein’s experimental forays into printmaking. Reverie and Sweet Dreams Baby! demonstrated that years of experimentation preceded such ingenious screenprints. In 1948 a seminal exhibition of prints arrived in Cleveland and that same year Lichtenstein took up printmaking while a student at Ohio State University. Making more than 30 editions between 1948 and 1959 that he printed, Lichtenstein learned the techniques of etching, aquatint, lithography, drypoint, screenprint and woodcut. He participated in the whole life cycle of Reverie and Sweet Dreams Baby!, working from preparatory drawings to printing and proofng. A long history with prints notwithstanding, Lichtenstein regarded his contributions to the 11 Pop Artists portfolios as his very frst fne art prints, the culmination of years spent preparing.
Reverie mothered a visual vocabulary that democratized art history. Its face was familiar to many; from the 1964 comic Secret Heart, the central fgure was an avatar for new collectors who were backed by rapid economic expansion in Post-War America. Reproductive techniques and regularized colors more typical of commercial printing delivered a recognizable and conventionally pretty picture that launched previously discredited “cartoon” imagery back into art history. Lichtenstein’s musings on popular imagery sidelined any ongoing notions that art should remain cloistered with obfuscated meaning. Lichtenstein recalled, “There is a relationship between cartooning and people like Miró and Picasso,” and, “I want [my subjects] to come through with the immediate impact of the comics.” If Reverie interrupted PostWar aesthetics politely then Sweet Dreams Baby! delivered a fnal blow to legacies of the 19th century. “Art since Cézanne,” Lichtenstein noted “has become extremely romantic and unrealistic . . . it has less and less to do with the world.” Regarding some of his contemporaries, such as the Abstract Expressionists, as the present-day incarnation of that problematic history, Lichtenstein came out swinging.

Ed Ruscha drove his old Ford pick-up from Oklahoma out to Los Angeles in 1955. His prints have commemorated that California migration ever since. Ruscha’s traverse across the Southwest was an alluring progression of modernist structures and brightly-lit language. Into California Ruscha imported the ethos of Walker Evans, New York-streetscape photographer, and of Charles Sheeler, painter of industry, where he has since enlivened the art scene for decades. That 1939 Ford truck provided a subject for Ruscha’s earliest lithographs and the western migration miles upon miles of motivation. Afer compiling Twentysix Gasoline Stations, a book of photographs from across Arizona and Texas, Ruscha acquiesced to an admirer of his painting of a Standard Oil gas station and began a prints series. His various screenprints depicting Standard Oil stations captured what Ruscha dubbed a “landscape once removed” with an angular view that was “. . . modeled afer the way Bambi’s father stood in the forest.” The splashy background of lot 77, Cheese Mold Standard with Olive, resulted from the challenging “split fountain” technique whereby a squeegee blended multiple pools of colored inks seamlessly. Ruscha noted that “ofen when an idea is so overwhelming, I use a small unlike item to ‘nag’ the theme.” So into this iconic and accessible image Ruscha dropped one olive. Ruscha aspired to “. . . the idea of a word becoming a picture, almost leaving its body, then coming back and becoming a word again.” By the 1970s his ready-made outlook was admittedly Duchampian. Ruscha was among some artists who produced prints for an American installation during the 1970 Venice Biennale that featured an onsite printshop. Ruscha was fascinated by Duchamp’s 1913 print The Chocolate Grinder; at the biennale he exhibited prints made from sundry chocolate onto which onlookers traced words. With surrealism in mind Ruscha created lot 247, Bowl, from the 1974 Domestic Tranquility series. In 1974 Ruscha also experimented with flm and recalled that “I would forget the story [of movies] but remember the emotion.” His second moving picture Miracle, 1974 featured actress Michelle Phillips and artist Jim Ganzer. An immediately subsequent photographic series published by Gemini G.E.L. revealed Ruscha’s new interest in light. Then, the 1977 print Miracle depicted bright beams of
light, though lacked the narrative of words or fgures. Ruscha observed that “Words have temperatures. . . when they reach a certain point and become hot words, then they appeal to me.” Lot 76, the 1999 lithograph Miracle, coupled the uplifing text “Miracle” in delicate cursive together with a warm and comforting glow. Another result from the collaboration with Miracle actor Jim Ganzer was lot 75, Sea of Desire, a print signed by both Ruscha and Ganzer. Ruscha’s “suggestors” were a legacy of the “spillfountain” technique that provided rich backgrounds for his early pieces. The “suggestors” of Ruscha’s later works were intriguing backgrounds that heightened words’ intensity. Lot 74, the 2012 lithograph Jet Baby, layered an intriguing phrase atop a technicolor background that rested behind a dramatic snow-covered mountain. Published at Hamilton Press, the work resulted from another long partnership — between Ruscha and lithographer Ed Hamilton — that culminated with Hamilton Press’ founding in Venice Beach during the 1990s. The workshop remains open to artists who approach it with independent projects. California ofered endless opportunity that Ruscha paid forward by asserting art’s democracy. Ruscha incorporated text and quotidian imagery, rebufng art historical hierarchies. He took joy from working in multiples, stating “I’ve always had a good time making prints,” and “. . . it is almost worth the money . . . to have the thrill of seeing four hundred exactly identical . . . [works] stacked in front of you.”

Three friends, Keith Haring, Chris Murray and Anthony Shriver, turned a friendship formed at the Govinda Gallery, which was just steps from Georgetown University, into a lasting legacy. When Anthony Shriver, the nephew of President Kennedy, founded the Best Buddies organization he turned to his friends from the gallery where he hosted organizational meetings and planned fundraisers. Best Buddies enlisted university students to help create opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. Haring acquiesced to his friends’ request that he design a logo
for the organization. The artist also agreed to make a print of the image in order to help with raising additional funds. Keith Haring died before he was able to sign the edition. Best Buddies was the artist’s last print and it helped to raise over $500,000, leaving a lasting gif for the organization and the many lives touched by it. Phillips is honored to ofer this last impression of the edition from the personal collection of Chris Murray, who was gifed the piece by Keith Haring in recognition of his support and friendship.

As Jacques Dupin wrote in the last volume of the artist’s catalogue raisonné of gravures: ‘Lapidari’ is a large book: 24 engravings respond to 12 descriptions of stones, taken from anonymous 15th-century Catalan authors, selected and prefaced by Pere Gimferrer, a major Catalan poet who has also written a number of books on Miró and Tapiès. Twelve stones chosen, the inscription of their names already an invitation to engrave: Berril, Calsedonia, Estopaci, Balays… Miró was taken by the number twelve and chose to celebrate each stone with two engravings facing each other. The lef page has thick, powerful and spare graphic quality; the right page, a drawing composed of quivering lines on a background animated by smudges and scrapes like claw marks. Vaporous disks released into the air give the illusion of a third dimension. What is retained from the stone is its simplicity, its opposition to the earth, its roughness and its weight. The book carries the subtitle ‘The Book of the Properties of Stones’, a fne defnition of Miró’s last work. Jacques Dupin, Miró Engraver IV 1976-1983, Daniel Lelong éditeur, Paris, p. 14.

“In this portfolio Warhol’s style and technique are involved: the subject here, as such, is Warhol’s art, as it is the 10 hallmarks of Japanese industry represented. Warhol’s visits to Japan and his fascination with Japanese culture is underscored by the primacy of Walkman, Hondo and Nikon among others, in American and world culture today. These images aptly parallel Warhol’s Campbell Soup Can, Brillo Box and Coca-Cola paintings. As Japanese prints spurred the importance of printmaking in the 19th and 20th century western art, this portfolio is a ftting posthumous homage to Warhol by Japan and the medium that was the fulcrum of his creative energies.” from the portfolio justifcation note

NY Guide for Prospective Buyers Each Phillips auction is governed by the applicable Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty. All prospective bidders should read these sections carefully. They govern the purchasing agreement under which you buy at auction from Phillips. They may be also amended by saleroom addendum or auctioneer’s announcement during the auction. The complete Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty applicable to this auction (Version February 23, 2019) are found online at phillips.com, along with detailed information on each lot.
services for property purchased at Phillips. In the event that the property is collected in New York by the buyer or the buyer’s designee (including any private carrier) for subsequent transport out of state, Phillips may be required by law to collect New York sales tax, regardless of the lot’s ultimate destination. Please refer to Paragraph 17 of the Conditions of Sale for more information.
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.
O Guaranteed Property Lots designated with the symbol [O] are the subject of a minimum price guarantee. In such cases Phillips has guaranteed to the seller of the lot that regardless of the outcome of the sale the seller shall receive no less than a minimum sum. This guarantee may be provided solely by Phillips or jointly with a third party.
All Lots are Subject to ‘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 $400,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $400,000 up to and including $4,000,000 and 13.5% of the portion of the hammer price above $4,000,000. Condition and Condition Reports Phillips does not warrant or guarantee condition on any lot. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips may provide condition reports on many lots, which are also available online on the lot detail pages. If there is not a condition report available, that is not a representation that a lot is in perfect condition. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect all lots at our pre-sale exhibitions, and contact our staff with any questions.

Some lots are sold under special conditions. Phillips uses the following symbols to designate these lots:
♦ Third Party Guarantee Where Phillips has agreed to a minimum price guarantee it assumes the fnancial risk of a lot failing to sell or selling for less than the minimum price guarantee. Because the sums involved can be signifcant Phillips may choose to share the burden of that fnancial risk with a third party. The third party shares the risk by committing in advance of the sale, usually by way of a written bid, to buy the lot for an agreed amount whether or not there are competing bidders for the lot. If there are competing bidders third party guarantors may also bid above any written bid. In this way the third party guarantor assumes the risk of the bidding not reaching the amount of the minimum price guarantee. In return for underwriting or sharing this risk Phillips will usually compensate the third party. The compensation may be in the form of a fxed fee or an amount calculated by reference to the hammer price of the lot. If the third party guarantor is the successful bidder they will be required to pay the full hammer price and buyer’s premium and will not be otherwise compensated. Disclosure of fnancial interest by third parties Phillips requires third party guarantors to disclose their fnancial interest in the lot to anyone whom they are advising. If you are contemplating bidding on a lot which is the subject of a third party guarantee and you are being advised by someone or if you have asked someone to bid on your behalf you should always ask them to confrm whether or not they have a fnancial interest in the lot. ∆ 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. •No Reserve Unless indicated by a •, all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential value established between Phillips and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.
Σ Regulated Species Items made of or incorporating certain designated plant or animal material, including but not limited to coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, (irrespective of age, percentage, or value), may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to any foreign country. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. We recommend that prospective bidders check with their own local restrictions regarding such requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licenses or certificates 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.
