Soaring over two-metres high, Alex Katz’s larger-than-life Kate, 2006, presents the sumptuous portrait of the American actress Kate Valk, dressed in character for her leading role in Eugene O’Neill’s classic 1920s tale The Emperor Jones, which was reinvisioned by Elizabeth LeCompte and produced by The Wooster Group in 2006. In its contemporary formulation, the play sees its eponymous protagonist, Brutus Jones, interpreted by Valk in blackface. While Jones, in the text, embodies a black Pullman porter whose destiny is shaken by his murder of another man in a dice game, Valk is a petite caucasian woman, dismantling each requirement to meet her personnage’s attributes. An exceptional image that has lingered in the memories of theatre-goers and art-lovers alike, Kate was moreover used as a model for the play’s poster, and went on to inspire the cyanotype print Katz created for Graphicstudio, as well as a colour screenprint of the same name. It is of further note that Katz, Valk and LeCompte share individual friendships in life, reinforcing the intimacy of the present work. Casting her penetrative gaze into the viewer’s own, Kate is, in the present composition, introducing the character of Jones in the altered appearance she adopted and maintained throughout the play. Yet whereas for most of her performance, the actress commanded the stage with gutteral laughs, skin-wrenching frowns, and frightning eye-rolls, in the present portrait she is captured as a muse, beautifully peaceful and composed. Delimitating the protagonist’s skin pigmentation at neck-level, Katz astutely clarifes the painted nature of Kate’s face, covered in thick, oily makeup, and standing in high contrast with the remainder of her exposed fesh.

138061_2 In this way, Katz wonderfully renders Elizabeth LeCompte’s daring vision, whereby the interpreter fashions, with superb precision, the simulacrum of a stereotype. Created when segregation and indeed lynching were still in effect, the character of Brutus Jones survives as a black man learning to oppress blacks himself; on the island he has retired to following his crime, he has pronounced himself emperor and is no longer the hunted, but the hunter. While Valk’s voluminous attire in the play, akin to a phony’s vision of a royal costume, foated halfway between a battered luxurious garment and a brashly coloured kimono, in the present composition Katz has represented only its upper section – fat and regal, like the portrayed protagonist herself. While on the surface, the choice to cast a Caucasian woman for the role of Brutus Jones may have seemed culturally insensitive, it was in fact fairly usual for the Wooster Group to elude expected decision-making in their elaboration of a theatrical adaptation. A veteran troupe known for taking an overtly experimental approach to dramaturgical texts, the Wooster Group did not miss the occasion to surprise the audience with The Emperor Jones’ new iteration, in fne garnering high praise from the public and critics alike. Characterised by The New York Times, Variety and The New Yorker as ‘fawless’, ‘astonishing’, ‘entrancing’, in turn, a number of critics furthermore argued that the decision to cast a white woman in a role written for a black man was in fact ‘uniquely sensitive’ – for it seemed impossible, given the text’s outdated mores and overarchingly racist vision, for a black actor to play the role of Jones without causing discomfort to himself or the audience (Charles Isherwood, ‘An Emperor Who Tops What O’Neill Imagined’, The New York Times, 14 March 2006, online). A refection of Katz’s stunning mode of portraiture, Kate invites the viewer to observe an atypical representational approach for the artist, whereby the model eludes one-dimensionality, and instead takes on the additional facet of a fctitious role. Indeed, rather than being presented with Brutus Jones or Kate Valk as distinct entities, the viewer is confronted to a confation of both, allowing the audience to familiarise themselves with the play through which they are connected, as well as Elizabeth LeCompte’s bold reinvention of it. The present work furthermore denotes Katz’s afnity to theatre, which he was able to cultivate since a young age as his mother was an actress in the Yiddish theatre of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. As a result, Kate is at once, and in turn, the portrait of a woman, a man, and an industry, which, through the magic of an actor’s performance, allows one to transform into the other.

Surfer, 1987, executed at the height of Duane Hanson’s practice, encapsulates the artist’s meticulous observation and unfinching realisation of his fascination with and celebration of everyday pedestrian lower-middle class characters in US Society. Capturing his figures in a moment of unguarded thought and reflection, they surprise, amuse and disturb his viewers through their arrestingly real depiction. The artist stated ‘the subject matter that I like best deals with the familiar lower- and middle-class American types of today. To me, the resignation, emptiness, and loneliness of their existence captures the true reality of life for these people … I want to achieve a certain tough realism which speaks of the fascinating idiosyncrasies of our times’ (Duane Hanson quoted in Christine Lindey, Superrealist Painting and Sculpture, New York, 1980, p. 130.). Taking as its subject a boy, dressed in his sunset coloured swimming trunks, adopting the self-aware pose of a teenager in surfer garb as he holds his fery coloured board in one hand, the other nonchalantly on his hip, he gazes out into the distance, avoiding the eye of the viewer, searching for the perfect wave. Created in the 1980s during a time of worldwide obsession with sportswear, body image and exercise trends, Surfer, 1987, vividly highlights the artist’s captivation with consumer culture, while also holding personal significance as the sculpture was modeled after Hanson’s son.
Hanson created his perfectly realised fgures using auto-fller or polyvinyl, increasingly moving to bronze in his later works. Hand painting each piece, the fgures are completed in painstaking detail with wigs, eyes, fingernails and human hair is also included on the body of some of his works. Carefully choosing often friends or family as his models, Hanson dresses his fgures with notably telling props, creating identifable personalities. Hanson would ofen unify elements from diferent models, fnishing his sculptures with delicate embellishments. His works endorse and make the most of ordinary moments, elevating the subject, crediting it as gallery and viewer worthy, conversing with the gallery space, demanding immediate interaction with the viewer. ‘I am not duplicating life. I’m making a statement about human values.’ (Duane Hanson, quoted in Thomas Buchsteiner and Otto Letze, eds., Duane Hanson: More than Reality, Stuttgart, 2001, p. 77). Hanson’s first life-size, realistic sculptures executed in the late 1960s were reflective of a climate of unrest and social fragmentation raging around him, aggressively confronting issues including suicide, abortion, racial unrest and homelessness, shifing in the 1970s to social commentary on the banalities of daily life. Hanson meticulously observes in unflinching precise detail, resulting in a representation that embodies ‘something I deeply wanted to say about life around us today’ (Duane Hanson, quoted in Martin Bush, Sculptures by Duane Hanson, Wichita, 1985, p. 31.)
‘In the turmoil of everyday life, we too seldom become aware of one another. In the quiet moments in which you observe my work, maybe you will recognise the universality of all people.’ Duane Hanson
His experimentations with hyper-realism were born amongst the growing world of Pop Art in America, encouraged by the likes of Jasper Johns and George Segal’s crude plaster casts of living models in domestic scenes conversion of high-art from Abstract Expressionism to a reflection of the everyday. Signifcantly infuenced by those around him, Hanson subsequently also guided the development of fgurative art himself. Jef Koons, Pink Panther, 1988, made one year afer the present example, shares the same kitsch quality of small-town Americana, the same plastic surface quality and sheen. Yet Koons creates an idealised fgure in stark contrast to Hanson’s real and self-conscious portrayal of youth. Hanson was part of the same generation of American artist’s such as Robert Gober whose domestic considerations can be understood in Hanson’s importance of the everyday, and John de Andrea’s who implemented the same modelling technique to produce his own nude fgures. In Britain, Hanson had a profoundly evident infuence on the YBA artist’s such as Jake & Dinos Chapman.

Throughout his impressive oeuvre and wonderfully captured in Surfer, 1987, Hanson holds up a mirror to society, making as appreciate and elevate the notion of the everyday, as beautifully summarised by the critic Thomas Buchsteiner: ‘For Duane Hanson, art was life, and life was realistic.’ (Thomas Buchsteiner, ‘Art is Life and Life is Realistic’ in Thomas Buchsteiner and Otto Letze, eds., Duane Hanson: More than Reality, Stuttgart, 2001, p. 77).
Double Trouble When Andy Warhol was once questioned about the artistic method behind his Flowers, it has been said that he responded, ‘I don’t know. Ask Elaine’ (Sturtevant, in Bill Arning, ‘Sturtevant’, Journal of Contemporary Art, no. 2, Fall/Winter 1989, p. 44). Indeed, shortly afer Warhol took the art world by storm with his dazzling silkscreen paintings of hibiscus flowers, (Elaine) Sturtevant conceived her own radical response to the Pop master’s new body of work: using a 22 x 22 inch silkscreen that Warhol had lent her, Sturtevant created her seminal body of work Warhol Flowers, of which other examples reside in such institutions as The Art Institute of Chicago. Executed in 1965 and 1969, respectively, the two present examples are situated at the dawn of Sturtevant’s radical conceptual practice that would see her use some of the most iconic artworks of her generation as a source and catalyst to explore notions of originality, authorship and authenticity. Sturtevant’s Warhol Flowers are the result of a masterful loop of repetition, one in which the artist pushed Warhol’s very own artistic investigations into new conceptual pastures. Warhol had, indeed, taken as his source for a photograph by Patricia Caulfed that was published in the June 1964 Modern Photography, cropping the rectangular image of seven fowers to a square containing only four
‘Same is a copy but it’s not the same.’ Sturtevant
blossoms. As Peter Eleey noted, ‘In Sturtevant’s hands, Warhol’s image draws greater attention to the limits, edges, and qualities of his authorship, already stressed by the appropriated and delegated aspects of his screenprint paintings’ manufacture…while pointing back further to the woman whose image had passed from her own camera, through Kodak’s advertising agency, to a magazine, and then to a high-contrast crop at Warhol’s Factory, before moving to his screen maker, and fnally on to Sturtevant’ (Peter Eleey,Sturtevant, Double Trouble, exh. cat., Museum of Modern Art, 2014, p. 49). While engaging in strategies of appropriation, Sturtevant notably goes beyond merely questioning the discourse of original and copy. It is telling that rather than revisiting the masterpieces of the distant past, Sturtevant turned to the ‘masterpieces’ in the making around her. Her frst ever solo exhibition, at the Bianchini Gallery in New York in 1965, presented a tongue-in-cheek installation that effectively put the art world’s latest fashions on display. Merely a year afer the debut of Warhol’s Flowers at Leo Castelli Gallery, Sturtevant lined the gallery walls with her own Warhol look-a-likes – here juxtaposed with a white sculpture resembling a work by George Segal shown pulling a garment rack laden with paintings evocative of works by the likes of Jasper Johns, Arman, Claes Oldenburg and Frank Stella.
In doing so, Sturtevant efectively exposed the political, economic and cultural circumstances that underpins art’s creation, circulation, consumption and canonization. For Sturtevant, the 1960s represented ‘the big bang of pop art. But pop only dealt with the surface, I started asking questions about what lay beneath the surface. What is the understructure of art? What is the silent power of art?’ (Sturtevant, quoted in conversation with Peter Halley, Index Magazine, 2005, online). While works such as the present ones at frst glance appear as ‘perfect copies’, they are best understood as studies that expose broader systems of value within the art world. ‘By faking faking,’ Peter Eley has argued, ‘she showed that she was not a copyist, plagiarist, parodist, forger, or imitator, but was rather a kind of actionist, who adopted style as her medium in order to investigate aspects of art’s making, circulation, consumption, and canonization’ (Peter Eleey, Sturtevant: Double Trouble, exh. cat., The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2014, p. 50). Since her passing in 2014, Sturtevant has received the critical attention she was denied for much of the late 20th century. Afer receiving the Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement award at the 2011 Venice Biennale, her work was celebrated in her frst comprehensive survey in the United States since 1973 beginning at The Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2014.

For over 80 years, Louise Bourgeois probed the psychological depths of her own lived experience to create art that was as radical as it was deeply personal. Exploring themes of domesticity, sexuality, and mortality, Bourgeois approached art making as a therapeutic process to confront her own troubled childhood memories. Executed in 2010, the year of Bourgeois’s passing, Spiral is an exquisite gouache that speaks to the artist’s over six decade-long exploration of the symbolic form of the spiral. ‘The spiral is important to me,’ she once stated. ‘As a child, afer washing tapestries in the river, I would turn and twist and ring them…The spiral – I love the Spiral – represents control and freedom’ (Louise Bourgeois, quoted in Paul Gardner, Louise Bourgeois, New York, 1994, p. 68). Bourgeois here saturates the sheet in her favoured colour of red, employed
to represent the extremes of the human condition and heighten the symbolism of the cycle of life that the spiral alludes to. In the last decade of Bourgeois’s life, her so-called fabric “drawings” became a central focus of her practice. In Untitled, 2006, Bourgeois has assembled the form of a spiral by cutting up and re-stitching fabrics found in her own personal collection of old clothes and household items such as tablecloths, napkins or bed linen accrued over deacdes. For Bourgeois, who grew up helping in her parent’s tapestry restoration workshop, fabric and the act of sewing held immense personal signifcance: ‘I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole’ (Louise Bourgeois, quoted in Louise Bourgeois: Aller-Retour: Zeichnungen und Skulpturen, Nuremberg, 2005, p. 201).

In modern art, the decade of the 1960s saw an unprecedented degree of experiment in sculpture, from Ed Kienholz and George Segal to Allen Jones and Al Hansen. Modern methods and materials extended the possibilities of what sculpture could be. Allen Jones’ furniture sculptures helped pave the ways for a new generation of artists, from Jef Koons to Sarah Lucas. In 1965 Allen Jones and the artist Peter Phillips made a road trip around the continental United States. In Reno Nevada the aesthetic jolt of confronting life size efgies of showgirls as slot machines remained, for Jones, a tantalising example of how our expectations of a sculpture can be subverted by function. The furniture sculptures resulted from this experience. By proposing a function Allen Jones questioned the boundaries of what sculpture could be. The artist has now taken his idea to its logical conclusion. Refrigerator insists that the viewer interact with the sculpture - if they wish to get anything out of it. We would like to thank Allen Jones for his kind help with the cataloguing for this work.

The Collection of
Robert Tibbles Young British Artists & More
Robert Tibbles is a collector in the truest sense. Having found his niche in the late 1980s, when London was bustling with a novel, brash artistic energy that readily met the increasing momentum of his own industry – fnance – he became one of the frst to promote and purchase the work of a then loud, yet marginal, artistic movement: the Young British Artists (YBAs). Deeply enamoured with art from his frst encounter with it in 1988, he quickly amassed a dozen works, and then more, constituting a collection of topical, charismatic, and intimate pieces spanning painting, sculpture, photography and video. The art collection he built over two decades remained with him to this day, predominantly in the comfort of his London home, and is now being entrusted to Phillips, London, across particularly crafed sales. ‘There are lots of diferent types of collectors’, Robert confessed. ‘I’ve never been one to put works straight into storage’. Instead, he placed a monumental Spot Painting by Damien Hirst above his freplace, a brash dual portrait of Gilbert & George, along with two paintings by Sarah Morris spelling out ‘GIRLS’ and ‘FUCK’ in his dining room, and a poetic Julian Opie composition, portraying a road cut off by a large expanse of azure sky, just above his bed. Each work from Robert Tibbles’ artful aggregation is tied to the other in a shared story of passion, foresightedness and wit. It is important to mention the spiritedness of Robert’s collection as each work carries tremendous individual charisma; a spark that refects his own. The frst major work he purchased was Damien Hirst’s Bodies, 1989, brought to his attention by the art dealer Karsten Schubert in the year of its creation. Aquiring the work for £600, he was the frst collector, alongside Charles Saatchi, to buy a work by Damien Hirst. Indeed, while Hirst was still a student at the Goldsmiths College of Art, London, Robert was immediately taken by his work; he envisioned a likeness between his gesture and that of Duchamp years before him, similarly elevating an ordinary object to the realm of fne art. Hirst himself has fond memories of the banker. ‘I remember Robert very well,
he was so excited by the art’, he said. ‘It was in the days when I installed my own work in people’s houses, so I went round and met him and he made me tea’. Further highlighting the integrity of Robert’s collection, the artist mused, ‘Robert is a proper collector and I’m really touched he kept and lived with my work for all those years’. Through the initial and seminal purchase of Bodies, Robert continued buying more works by the artist, and became increasingly close to Schubert, who subsequently introduced him to Hirst’s mentor – the Irish-born, U.S.A-educated artist Michael Craig-Martin. Robert’s particular relationship with Michael Craig-Martin, cultivated over the years, ushered new possibilities for his vision as a collector. He formed a friendship with him early on in his collecting years, and valued his advice as a friend and artist throughout his collecting journey. One of his most exciting purchases was the commissioned Narrative Painting from 1993-94; a composition that followed CraigMartin’s solo show in Paris’ Centre Pompidou in 1993, where he had painted the walls of each room a different colour, and placed one image on each wall. For Robert, Craig-Martin produced a canvas with a large expanse of pink to symbolise one wall, and an eighth of yellow to symbolise its tangent. ‘He then included a book because he always said, “If you want to be a really serious Contemporary Art collector, Robert, you cannot have curtains or books in one room”. And then he included the back of a canvas to show I am a collector’. Themes that consume artists at the time of creation – including life, death, freedom, irreverence and identity politics – seem to consume Robert in turn, and run consistently throughout the collection he built. The Robert Tibbles Collection: Young British Artists & More thus forms a coherent, wholly fascinating narrative; one that tells Robert Tibbles’ singular story, and the visionary verve with which he approached art over the course of three decades.

‘Tere’s a balance I was after between a certain amount of this and a certain amount of that, like an alchemist.’ Damien Hirst
I’m So Tired forms part of a seminal four-part series of ‘Pill Paintings’ executed by Damien Hirst in 1990, each comprised of pharmaceutical pills pushed through the reverse of a canvas. The resulting protrusions disrupt the pure cream painted surface. This cycle of works serves as a synthesis of two of the artist’s most important achievements: the ‘Spot Paintings’ and ‘Medicine Cabinets’, uniting the ordered and painterly qualities of the former with the physical media of the latter. The title I’m So Tired – as with all works in the series – was borrowed from a song by the Beatles, where the lyrics allude to the infuence of drugs. This choice further links the work to Bodies (1989) and the ‘Medicine Cabinets’ which were named afer Sex Pistols songs. On the theme of medicine, the Artist wrote “All Pharmaceutical drugs exist in the space between birth and death. The drugs are meant to keep you alive.” (Damien Hirst & Gordon Burn, I want to spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now, London 1997, p. 225), the pills incorporated into I’m So Tired appear suspended between the recto and verso of the piece and are exemplary of the Hirst’s opinion of the place Pharmaceuticals occupy in society.

‘You trick the viewer into thinking that you’re telling them something, but you’re revealing something that they already have. It’s like magic.’ Damien Hirst
AIDS is a powerful continuation and exploration of one of Hirst’s most significant preoccupations, the theme of Death and decay. Consciously rendered in proportions identical to Hirst’s seminal ‘Medicine Cabinets’ selected for the artist’s degree show in 1989, the work is comprised of thousands of black fies afxed to the surface of a canvas in a dense monochromatic blanket. AIDS belongs to a series of thirteen ‘Fly Paintings’ created for Hirst’s 2003 exhibition at White Cube: Romance in the Age of Uncertainty. Each canvas is titled afer deadly diseases such as Smallpox, Leukaemia and Meningitis. The Fly Paintings’ medium directly references Hirst’s 1990 masterpiece A Thousand Years; which displays a cyclical representation of life and death through the glass vitrine containing a rotting cow’s head being slowly devoured a swarm of live fies, which in turn are dying one by one as a result of the Insect-O-Cutor and whose bodies litter the foor. Through the series incorporating AIDS, Hirst challenges the traditional notion of painting by utilising the powerful motif of the Fly and all of the meaning it conjures, as the sole medium for the painting.

‘What I would really like to do is make a painting and then walk into it.’ Julian Opie
Belonging to a series of fve paintings, Imagine that you are driving.4. presents an empty expanse of road disappearing into the distance. Based on photographs taken during an inspiring trip Julian Opie took across Europe in 1993, the work is an exquisite digital alteration of a rural landscape pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic practice. A cartoonish image reminiscing of the symbolic landscape of computer driving games and children books, Opie encourages the viewers to embark on an endless and hypnotic journey into a stylised representation of the world, emptied of human presence. Graduated from Goldsmiths in 1982 and burst onto a pre-Young British Artists art scene in London, the artist was one of the most infuential fgures for the now well-known group of artists. Though only few years ahead of the YBAs, Julian Opie instilled confdence in the youngest artists to become part of the artistic fabric and engage actively with the art community.

Provenance White Cube, London Acquired from the above by the present owner
With profound humanity and an essential cinematic rendering, Pietà presents the artist Sam Taylor-Johnson cradling the Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. in her lap with splayed legs and open arms. Referring to Michelangelo’s Pietà in St Peter’s Basilica – an iconic sculpture portraying the Madonna revealing the body of a supine Christ following Crucifxion – this scene alludes to essential themes of life and death, as well as the relationship between a mother and her son. Notably, it was created at a time when Taylor-Johnson was battling cancer, and Robert Downey Jr. was recovering from addiction issues. The artist’s portrayal of human sufering is thus heightened by the hard-hitting reality of their respective health states; and the physical support Taylor-Johnson provides to Downey takes on an added layer of symbolism, truly embodying the mutual sense of care and benevolence they shared for one another. In the flm, there is no scant movement and no sound, aside from Robert Downey Jr.’s heavy breathing. The viewer is thus left with a quasi-photographic shot, which only so slightly moves upon careful and sustained inspection. Filmed for just under two minutes – the time that Taylor-Johnson could hold Downey’s weight over her legs and open arms – the work exudes a powerful sense of gravitas and spirituality, that brings the viewer back to Michelangelo’s numinous vision.

Painted in 1990, Solitude is an evocative early work by Luc Tuymans that draws the viewer into an enigmatic scene flled with suspension and mystery. A solitary fgure is situated within a dislocated landscape, his back turned away from the viewer as he stands next to a yellow bus. Tuymans created Solitude as part of the larger body of work entitled Suspended, a series of intimately scaled paintings exhibited at Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp in 1990. An important turning point in Tuymans’ practice, this body of work notably represented the frst time human fgures began populating Tuymans’s scenes and the artist started using more colour than ever before. Widely regarded as an ode to the work of Edward Hopper, an artist Tuymans greatly admired from an early age on, this seminal series consists of vignettes depicting suburban, everyday scenes in which mannequin-like fgures are frozen mid-action. The dialogue between Tuymans’ and Hopper’s work was a central focus of a conversation between artists Peter Doig, Chris Ofli, Paulina Olowska and art critic Adrian Searle on the occasion of Tuyman’s celebrated exhibition at Tate Modern, London, in 2004. As Doig put forward, ‘there are similarities between the two artists, but I don’t think Tuymans’ work is as melancholic as Hopper’s. Tuymans’ painting

appears to be more about a dissolved memory, rather than a present condition’ (Peter Doig, quoted in ‘Luc Tuymans’, Tate Etc., Issue 1, Summer 2004, online). As is typical for his artistic process, Tuymans based Solitude on a preexisting image that he carefully selected over a lengthy contemplative phase and then reconstructed in a single burst of painting. It is through the act of painting that Tuymans probes the gap between the image and what it represents; his choice of cropping and zooming into the subject renders any straightforward narrative readings impossible, while his distinctive colour palette and expressionistic brushwork imbue the image with a sense of ambiguity and the uncanny. As Ulrich Loock indeed noted speaking of the Suspended series, ‘the representation of suburban idylls are immersed in signs of unnaturalness, of dislocation, of impotence, forelornness…harmlessness and peace are deceptive, imbued’ (Ulrich Loock, Luc Tuymans, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 59). A quintessential example of Tuymans’ Suspended series, Solitude powerfully exemplifes how Tuymans extends Hopper’s existential investigations into themes of solitude and loneliness, while simultaneously probing the very subjectivity of representation.

The Shirt, 2002, perfectly typifes the combination of mysterious imagery and painterly virtuosity that propelled Borremans to increasing international fame during this period. Looming out of the darkness, the torso of an anonymous, unidentifable fgure is shown, the image cropped to reveal only a striped shirt. Executed in lushly lavish brushstrokes, Borremans masterful handling of the eponymous shirt ekes out its details - the meandering pinstripes, the deep shadow of the creases and collar, are manipulated within a restrained sepia palette. From the point of view of pure painting, this is a sensual masterclass, a contemporary return to the mimetic, yet expressive detail founded by the Renaissance and Baroque masters of the art historical canon. Borremans owes more than technique to the Old Masters, his richly painted works incorporate familiar compositions and motifs but leave the viewer questioning and unable to quite decipher the iconography. The artist has cited the infuence of both Flemish and Spanish painters Jan Van Eyck (1390-1441) and Diego Velasquez (1599-1660); both creators of some of the most highly analysed works in art history. In an interview in 2016, Borremans said ‘‘The frst artworks I saw were reproductions of Van Eyck…They were windows on a strange world. As a child they fascinated me but frightened me too – and they still do, in a way.’ (Maggie Gray, ‘The Modern Mysteries of Michaël Borremans’, Apollo, March 2016). Arguably Van Eyck’s most important work, The Ghent Altarpiece, 1432, is housed in the cathedral of the same name in the town where Borremans lives and works and its distinctively stark, yet ethereal approach to reality seems to permeate through Borremans’ oeuvre.
Similarly, Las Meninas, 1656, by Diego Velazquez, which depicts the creation of a royal portrait from the perspective of the sitters – The King and Queen of Spain – plunges the viewer into the midst of a mysterious narrative where the answers remain just out of reach. This is echoed in The Shirt where the picture is composed to only hint a contextual and narrative clues. The loosely-ftted garment, a short expanse of neck and the hint and shadow of a jaw, insists upon the anonymity of the subject. This theme is furthered in more recent works such as Black Mould/ The Dance, 2015, where the viewer is lef to draw their own conclusions on the relevance of the figures’ covered faces, black robes and difering postures. ‘With the paintings, at frst you expect a narrative, because the fgures are familiar,’ Borremans has explained ‘[…] The works don’t come to a conclusion in the way we expect them to. The images are unfnished: they remain open. That makes them durable’ (Borremans, quoted in David Coggins, ’Interview: Michael Borremans’, Art in America, March 2009). The fgures in Borremans’ work are never portraits and their anonymity in his early paintings such as The Shirt is guaranteed as he ofen used found images, including photographs from the decades before the Second World War, as his source material. More recently, the artist, who originally trained as a photographer has orchestrated and photographed his own source material. Regardless of their origin, these works are filled with a suspense and air of surreal mystery, which teetering between the familiar and uncanny command the attention of the viewer transport them on a maze of visual signposts, where the answers lie one step ahead. Enigmatically the artist has explained ‘I make paintings because my subject matter, to a large extent, is painting’ (ibid.).

‘I make real, physical forms, but they’re made out of color, which as a quality is at the outset abstract. I try to use color as if it were a material; I make a sculpture out of, say, “red” …So my interest in having a piece look not only conventionally physical, but also in the next moment having it look like it could be something imagines, almost a hallucination, is well served by using colour.’ John McCracken

Emergency Numbers, 1973, is an exquisite example of Ed Ruscha’s unique artistic practise. The two words ‘Emergency Numbers’ are executed in gothic script and rendered in the negative space against a woody textured background. Ruscha’s choice of typeface and use of unconventional materials – cherry juice stained paper – intentionally possess no relevance to the meaning of the text. The present work exemplifies the artist’s experimentation with materials which typify the American experience such as blood, food, condiments and gunpowder, perhaps most famously in Stains, 1969 (Museum of Modern Art, New York), which comprises of 76 sheets of paper, each stained with a diferent substance such as Wine, Cofee and LA tap Water.
Ruscha began his career in graphic design, studying lettering, design and advertising at the Chouinard Art Institute, however he soon turned to fne art under the infuence of Abstract Expressionists such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. In the early 1960s Ruscha harnessed single words as the protagonists of his pictures in contrast to artists such as John Badessari and Joseph Kosuth who used text as part of the narrative of the work. Through isolating or repeating Ruscha theorised that you could ‘drive the meaning from the word and from the sound of the word’ (Walter Hopps “A Conversation between Walter Hopps and Edward Ruscha” in Yves-Alain Bois, Edward Ruscha: Romance with Liquids, Paintings 1966-1969, exh. cat., Gagosian Gallery, New York, pp. 97-108).

Distinct outlines come into focus as the laser cut aluminium create a space enveloping her with two fowers, a pillow and a lamp. This work pertains to Wesselman’s Bedroom Paintings – a series celebrating the maturity of his artistic style, infuenced by his history of being a cartoonist in the 1950s. Formally trained in Abstract Expressionism, he rejected this method in favour of simple depiction of everyday objects and advertising ephemera. The women portrayed in Wesselmann’s works ofen exude euphoria and an impression of bliss. He notes, “The process is largely sensual, a question of feelings and sensation… I arrange and rearrange until the elements lock into place.” (Tom Wesselmann quote in Tom Wesselmann, exh. cat., Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, 2012, p. 39)

‘My original idea, that began the cut-outs, was to preserve the process and immediacy of my drawings from life, complete with the false lines and errors, and realise them in steel. It was as though the lines had just been miraculously drawn in steel. At the same time, I pursued another idea – to make tiny, very fast doodles, which I would then enlarge in cut-out metal, preserving the feel and spontaneity of the tiny sketch…’ Tom Wesselmann

Little Tree, 2014, powerfully and dazzlingly oscillates between wonderful geometric abstraction and organic and natural forms. Milhazes displays the skilled dexterity of her colour palette, collaging fractioned shapes in bright brilliant blues, reds, yellows, oranges and greens to create a festivity on the canvas. The artist’s unique style pays homage to her Brazilian nationality and Latin American and Western European art historical traditions, mirroring and encapsulating Milhazes’ own character and experiences. Evident is Milhazes’ admiration of the 20th Century masters such as Henri Matisse’s Fauvist works, Robert Delaunay and Wassily Kandinsky, apparent in the lyricism captured in the present example. Connecting all forms of creation, Milhazes’ Little Tree, 2014, celebrates in an explosion of colour the carnivals of Rio de Janeiro, tropical fauna and fora, traditional chitão fabric, arabesque patterns, musical compositions, Colonial baroque architecture and everyday found objects.

‘I use elements from my culture, and colour is one of them, but I’m the only one to do so... I recently found that ‘freedom’ is a word that describes my work well. I think what characterizes my work is the freedom with which it combines diferent concepts, images, colours, abstraction and fguration, all within a very rational and geometric painting. My way of working uses freedom with order.’ Beatriz Milhazes

‘During the frst day out the sea was smooth and Fernand, who had never been aboard a sailing vessel, was fascinated with the rigging and all the contrivances on board. He had brought a notebook and a few watercolors with him and he spent the entire day making sketches. He had never worked under such conditions and it stimulated him enormously. Te second day out the weather turned bad as we encountered Mistral. Very much to his surprise he did not feel the rough sea as he expected and persisted in his work. He made quite a joke of his being able to remain at his post while some of the rest of us were unable to do so. It was for this reason that he wrote on the cover of the notebook, “A Sara et Gerald de leur mousse fdèle [To Sara and Gerald, from their loyal cabin boy”.’ Gerald Murphy

Andy Warhol, Miles Fiterman, 1975. © 2019 The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc./Licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Andy Warhol, Shirley Fiterman, 1976. © 2019 The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc./Licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
Alexander Calder, Joan Miró, Jean Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning – the list of esteemed names that constitute the Miles and Shirley Fiterman Collection reads like a cross-continental survey of the 20th century’s most influential artists. Born out of the seminal decade of the 1960s, the collection is not only a tribute to the dawning of a revolutionary era, but a witness to its making. To look at how Miles and Shirley Fiterman collected is to understand the importance of the collector at this crucial point in post-war history. Whilst few individuals have gathered artworks of such quality and importance, fewer still have done so across four decades, as new masterpieces were created by the same artists that they met and supported. A unique afnity with the zeitgeist and an ability to act ahead of the curve is what binds this collection to the industrial achievements of its proprietors. Intuitive, innovative and entrepreneurial, Miles Q. Fiterman was highly infuential in the construction boom following World War II, catering to the unprecedented demand for housing Miles Homes Inc., which he founded in 1946, grew to be the nation’s largest supplier of prefabricated housing prior to its sale in 1972. The Miles and Shirley Fiterman Collection astutely harnesses the common aesthetic impulses of the 20th century and allows us to investigate their variations. Bold yet elegant, expressing both formal balance and expressive abandon, the collection celebrates the ability of art to imagine the world anew.
Based in Minneapolis, Miles and Shirley Fiterman formed part of a conduit between the international contemporary art scene and their beloved home city. Their sustained eforts to bring great art to the region manifested in their lifelong support of the Walker Art Center and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Highly personal, astutely connoisseurial and indelibly philanthropic, the Fitermans’ model of collecting was built on several important foundations: the personal relationships that they built with trailblazing dealers and gallerists such as Gordon Locksley and Aimé Maeght; the acquisition of exemplary works by the revolutionary artists that they met and forged frienships with – including Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg; sustained patronage to museums that championed the causes of modern and contemporary art; and their proactive role in providing greater access to education in art. The couple were patrons of and enabled acquisitions at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where the Fiterman name graces several of the museum’s buildings. Miles and Shirley Fiterman were also active patrons within the locale of their other residence in Palm Beach, Florida. Both sat on the board of the Norton Museum of Art, where Mrs. Fiterman went on to assume the role of board president. Outside of the United States, Miles and Shirley Fiterman were honored as Patrons of the Year in 2001 at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Tel Aviv Museum, where they also served as board members. As arbiters of taste, champions of groundbreaking artists, Miles and Shirley Fiterman did not simply collect – in essence, they defned what it was to be a collector in the 20th century.

UK Auction Buyer’s Guide The following pages are designed to offer you information on how to buy at auction at Phillips. Our staff will be happy to assist you. The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty published on our website at https://phillips.com also govern the auction. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read them as they outline the legal relationship between Phillips, the seller and the buyer and describe the terms upon which items are bought at auction. A) Before The Auction Catalogues & Catalogue Entries Our catalogues provide information on the lots for sale at the auction and are available on our website at www.phillips. com and in hard copy. Lot details can also be viewed on the Phillips App. If you would like to purchase a hard copy catalogue for a Phillips auction, please visit our website or contact us at catalogues@phillips.com. Catalogue entries may include 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. In some cases we may not disclose the identity of previous owners where we are not authorised to do so. Please note that all dimensions of the property set out in the catalogue entry are approximate. Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. The dates and times are published on our website at https://phillips.com. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment. 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, offer a chance of success. However, many lots achieve prices below or above the pre-sale estimates. Pre-sale estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. Where ‘Estimate on Request’ appears, please contact the specialist department for further information. As estimates can be subject to revision we suggest contacting us closer to the time of the auction. Estimates in non-local currencies Although the sale is conducted in pounds sterling, the pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogues may also be printed in other currencies. These estimates are approximate and provided as a courtesy to our clients. The exchange rates used are those applying on the last practical date before printing the catalogue. The rates may have changed between the time of printing the catalogue and the auction. Condition 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 staff 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 significant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding.
∑ Endangered Species Lots with this symbol have been identified 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.
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.
Calculating the Total Purchase Price If you are the successful bidder on a Lot, the total purchase price you pay is made up of the following elements:
Symbols Used In The Catalogue You may see the following symbols referenced in the catalogue. 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. ♦ Third Party Guarantee Where Phillips has agreed to a minimum price guarantee it assumes the financial risk of a lot failing to sell or selling for less than the minimum price guarantee. Because the sums involved can be significant Phillips may choose to share the burden of that financial 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 thirdparty 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 fixed fee or an amount calculated by reference to the hammer price of the lot. If the thirdparty guarantor is the successful bidder Phillips will report the purchase price net of any fees paid to the third-party guarantor. ∆ 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 is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.
Ж Property Subject to US Import Tarifs
Lots with this symbol indicate that the Property may be subject to additional tariffs upon importation into the United States of America. See paragraph 12 of the Conditions of Sale.
Hammer Price
Buyer’s Premium
VAT on Buyer’s Premium and/or Hammer Price (If applicable)
Artist’s Resale Royalty (ARR) (If applicable)
The Hammer Price: This is the final, highest bid which the auctioneer accepts by bringing down the auctioneer’s hammer. Buyer’s Premium: This is the commission Phillips charges the successful highest bidder and buyer of the lot. The Buyer’s premium is calculated on the hammer price of the lot at the following rates on a cumulative basis: • 25% on the portion of the hammer price up to and including £300,000; and • 20% on the portion of the hammer price above £300,000 up to and including £3,000,000 and • 13.5% on the portion of the hammer price above £3,000,000. Where VAT is payable on the Buyer’s premium the VAT inclusive Buyer’s Premium rates are 30%, 24% and 16.2% respectively. VAT Most items we sell are sold under UK Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme rules. This means that VAT is charged at 20% on the buyer’s premium and will not be shown separately on the invoice. UK Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme lots have no VAT symbol. Where the lot has a †, ‡ or Ω symbol against it, VAT may be charged on a different basis. For full details, including how to claim VAT refunds, please see the VAT & Tax Guide in this Auction Buyer’s Guide and on our website ♠ Artist’s Resale Royalty (ARR) The laws in certain countries entitle qualifying artists or their estates to a royalty when the artist’s works are resold for a hammer price of EUR 1,000 or more. Lots subject to ARR are marked with the symbol ♠. The ARR is calculated as a percentage of the hammer price on a cumulative basis as follows and is payable as part of the purchase price: Portion of the Hammer Price (in EUROS) From 0 to 50,000 From 50,000.01 to 200,000
Royalty Rate 4% 3%
From 200,000.01 to 350,000 From 350,000.01 to 500,000 Exceeding 500,000
1% 0.5% 0.25%
The total charge for ARR on any single lot cannot exceed Euros 12,500. To calculate the ARR, we use the pounds sterling/euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the auction by the European Central Bank. Example To illustrate how the purchase price is calculated, please see the below example: UK Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme lot Hammer Price: £350,000 Buyer’s Premium including VAT @20% £102,000: 25% of first £300,000 of the hammer price = £75,000 + 20% on the balance of £50,000 = £10,000 Total BP = £85,000 VAT @ 20% on the total BP of £85,000 = £17,000
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 VAT, 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 https://phillips.com. The digital saleroom is optimized to run on Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer browsers. Clients who wish to run the platform on Safari will need to install Adobe FlashPlayer. Follow the links to ‘Auctions’ and ‘Digital Saleroom’ and then pre-register by clicking on ‘Register to Bid Live.’ The first time you register you will be required to create an account; thereafter you will only need to register for each sale. 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 firewalls may cause difficulties for online bidders.
B) At The Auction Bidding Bids may be executed during the auction in person, by paddle or by telephone or prior to the sale in writing by absentee bid. Proof of identity in the form of governmentissued identification will be required, as will an original signature and proof of address. We may also require that you furnish us with a bank reference. For individuals, acceptable forms of government issued photo identification include a passport or photo driving licence. For companies, acceptable forms of government issued identification include a certificate of incorporation or similar as well as proof of owners and directors. Undisclosed agreements between bidders to bid or abstain from bidding on lots are illegal. Please note that Phillips monitors its sales and bidding records to ensure that bidding is transparent and fair and will take appropriate action in the event of any suspected breach of this requirement. 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 sufficient 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 staff member immediately. At the end of the auction, please return your paddle to the registration desk. By Telephone If you cannot attend the auction, you may bid live on the telephone with one of our multilingual staff 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 £500. Telephone bids may be recorded.
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 confidential. Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale. Our staff 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 VAT. 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. 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. UK£50 to UK£1,000 UK£1,000 to UK£2,000 UK£2,000 to UK£3,000 UK£3,000 to UK£5,000

Conditions Of Sale The auction is governed by the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty which are available on our website. 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 beneficiary 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. Consecutive And Responsive Bidding; 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. No Reserve Lots If a lot is offered 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. C) After The Auction Payment Payment is due immediately following the auction, unless other arrangements have been agreed with Phillips in writing in advance of the sale. Interest will be charged on late payment at the rate of 12% per annum. Payments must be made by the invoiced party in pounds sterling and may be sent by wire transfer. Our account details are available on our website. Please reference the relevant invoice number when making payment. Alternatively, payment can be made: • For invoices of £30,000 or less by credit card. We accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard and UnionPay (UnionPay for in person transactions only). • It is our corporate policy not to make or accept single or multiple payments in cash in excess of £5,000 for all purchases in any calendar year. Title to each lot will not pass until the buyer has made full payment of the Purchase Price plus any applicable Artist Resale Royalty and all applicable taxes. Collection Once Phillips has received full and cleared payment of the total purchase price for the lot and any other amounts the buyer owes to Phillips, lots will be released for collection. To collect paid for lots buyers (or their authorised representatives) must provide proof of identity. Authorised Representatives should also bring a copy of a letter signed by the buyer authorising them to collect. Smaller items may be collected from our London gallery on the day of the auction. Please check with our staff when making payment.
Important Notices After the auction, lots will be transferred to offsite fine art storage facilities. The buyer information pack you will receive after the auction will confirm details of the storage facility where your lot is held for collection. Please contact us to make arrangements for collection. Storage Charges Lots will be held for collection from our offsite storage facilities for thirty (30) days after the auction free of charge. Storage charges and property release fees will apply after this 30-day period for any lots which have not been collected. Details of the applicable storage charges will be confirmed to you in the buyer information pack you will receive after the auction. Loss or Damage Buyers are reminded that Phillips accepts liability for loss or damage to lots for a maximum of seven (7) days following the auction. Transport and Shipping We will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by you in order to facilitate the packing, handling and shipping of property purchased at Phillips. Please refer to Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Sale for more information. As a free service for buyers, Phillips will wrap purchased lots which are for hand carry only. We do not provide packing, handling or shipping services directly. Export and Import Licenses Before bidding for any property, prospective bidders are advised to make independent enquiries as to whether a licence is required to export the property from the United Kingdom 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 licences or permits. The denial of any required licence 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 licence or certificate prior to exportation and additional licences or certificates upon importation to the US or to any country within or outside the European Union (EU). Please note that the ability to obtain an export licence or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import licence or certificate 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 licences or certificates as well as any other required documentation. Please note that the US prohibits the importation of any item containing African elephant ivory. Asian elephant ivory may be imported in to the US only if accompanied by independent scientific analysis regarding continent of origin and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. We have not obtained a scientific analysis on any lot prior to sale and cannot indicate whether elephant ivory in a particular lot is African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase
these lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any scientific analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import of such property into the US. With regard to any item containing endangered species other than elephant ivory, an importer into the US must provide documented evidence of the species identification and age of an object in order to demonstrate that the object qualifies as an antique. This will require the buyer to obtain an independent appraisal certifying the species of endangered material on the object and certifying that the object is not less than 100 years of age. A prospective buyer planning to import an object into the US may not rely on Phillips cataloguing to establish the species of endangered material on the object or to establish the age of the object and must consult with a qualified independent appraiser prior to placing a bid on the lot. 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. Privacy Our Privacy Policy is available at https://phillips.com or by emailing dataprotection@phillips.com and sets out: (i) the types of personal data we will or may collect and process; (ii) the purposes for which we will or may process your personal data; (iii) the lawful bases we rely on when processing your personal data; (iv) your rights in respect of our processing of your personal data; and (v) various other information as required by applicable laws. Phillips’ premises, sale, and exhibition venues are subject to CCTV video surveillance and recording for security, client service and bid monitoring purposes. Phillips’ auctions will be filmed for simultaneous live broadcast on Phillips’ and third-party websites and applications.
Identification of Business or Trade Buyers As of January 2010, Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) has made it an official requirement for auction houses to hold evidence of a buyer’s business status, due to the revised VAT rules regarding buyer’s premium for lots with symbols for businesses outside the UK. • Where the buyer is a non-EU business, Phillips requires evidence of the business status by means of the company identification, Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Association or government-issued documents showing that the company exists. • Where the buyer is an EU VAT registered business, Phillips requires the business’s VAT registration number. These details can be scanned and emailed to us, or alternatively they can be faxed or mailed. If these requirements are not met, we will be unable to cancel/ refund any applicable VAT. 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 verified and approved by a qualified electrician.
VAT & Tax Guide VAT Depending on the status of the lot, and your status as a buyer, VAT may be charged on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium or both. UK Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme Most items we sell are second-hand goods, so we sell them under UK Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme rules. Lots falling into this category have no VAT symbol and are treated as follows: No symbol
UK Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme sale
20% VAT charged on the buyer’s premium. (The invoiced buyer’s premium will include the VAT).
Special VAT Treatment If the Lot has one of the below symbols, the VAT treatment will be as follows: VAT Symbol

Standard UK VAT rules
20% VAT charged on both the hammer price and buyer’s premium

5% import VAT on the hammer price and 20% VAT on the buyer’s premium
Imported lot under Temporary Admission (High rate)
20% import VAT on the hammer price and 20% VAT on the buyer’s premium
Lots sold outside the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme If the buyer is a relevant business person in the EU (nonUK) or is a relevant business person in a non-EU country then no VAT will be charged on the buyer’s premium. This is subject to Phillips receiving evidence of the buyer’s VAT registration number in the relevant Member State (non-UK) or the buyer’s business status in a non-EU country such as the buyer’s Tax Registration Certificate. Should this evidence not be provided VAT will be charged on the buyer’s premium. Exports from the European Union The following types of VAT may be cancelled or refunded by Phillips on exports made within three months of the sale date if strict conditions are met: • The amount in lieu of VAT charged on the buyer’s premium for property sold under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme (i.e., without a VAT symbol). • The VAT on the hammer price for property sold under normal VAT rules (i.e., with a † symbol). The following type of VAT may be cancelled or refunded by Phillips on exports made within 30 days of the payment date if strict conditions are met: • The import VAT charged on the hammer price and an amount in lieu of VAT on the buyer’s premium for property sold under temporary admission (i.e., with a ‡ or a Ω symbol) under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme. In each of the above examples, where the appropriate conditions are satisfied, no VAT will be charged if, at or
before the time of invoicing, the buyer instructs Phillips to export the property from the EU. This will require acceptance of an export quotation provided by Phillips. If such instruction is received after payment, a refund of the VAT amount will be made. Where the buyer carries purchases from the EU personally or uses the services of a third party, Phillips will charge the VAT amount due as a deposit and refund it if the lot has been exported within the timelines specified below and either of the following conditions are met: • For lots sold under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme or the normal VAT rules, Phillips is provided with appropriate original documentary proof of export from the EU within three months of the date of sale. Buyers carrying their own property must obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department to facilitate this process. • For lots sold under temporary admission, Phillips is provided with the original correct paperwork duly completed and stamped by HMRC which shows the property has been exported from the EU via the UK within 30 days of the payment date. It is essential for shippers acting on behalf of buyers to collect copies of original import papers from our Shipping Department. HMRC insist that the correct customs procedures are followed and Phillips will not be able to issue any refunds where the export documents do not exactly comply with governmental regulations. Property subject to temporary admission must be transferred to another customs procedure immediately if any restoration or repair work is to be carried out. Buyers carrying their own property must obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department, for which a charge of £20 (plus any applicable VAT) will be made. The VAT refund will be processed once the appropriate paperwork has been returned to Phillips. Phillips is not able to cancel or refund any VAT charged on sales made to UK or EU private residents unless the lot is subject to temporary admission and the property is exported from the EU within 30 days of the payment date. We can only process VAT refunds where the VAT to be refunded is £50 or more per shipment. There will be a processing fee of £20 (plus any applicable VAT). Buyers intending to export, repair, restore or alter lots under temporary admission should notify the Shipping Department before collection. Failure to do so may result in the import VAT becoming payable immediately and Phillips being unable to refund the VAT charged on deposit. VAT Refunds from HM Revenue & Customs Where VAT charged cannot be cancelled or refunded by Phillips, it may be possible to seek repayment from HMRC . Repayments in this manner are limited to businesses located outside the UK and may be considered for example for Import VAT charged on the hammer price for lots sold under temporary admission. If you are located in an EU member state other than the UK you will need to apply for a refund of UK VAT directly to your local tax authority. This is done via submission of an electronically based claim form which should be accessed through the website of your local tax authority. As a result,
your form may include VAT incurred in a number of member states. Time limits for claiming VAT refunds • If you are located in an EU member state other than the UK: Any claim must be made on a calendar year basis and submitted no later than 30 September in the following calendar year (e.g., for VAT incurred in the year 1 January to 31 December 2019 you should make a claim to your local tax authority no later than 30 September 2020). Once you have submitted the electronic form to your local tax authority it is their responsibility to ensure that payment is obtained from the relevant member states. This should be completed within four months. If this time limit is not adhered to you may receive interest on the unpaid amounts. • If you are located outside the EU you should apply for a refund of UK VAT directly to HMRC. Claim forms are available from the HMRC website. https://www.gov.uk. You should submit claims for VAT to HMRC no later than six months from the end of the 12-month period ending 30 June (e.g., claims for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 should be made no later than 31 December 2020). Please note that refunds of VAT will only be made where VAT has been incurred for a business purpose. Any VAT incurred on articles bought for personal use will not be refunded. Sales and Use Taxes Buyers from outside the UK should note that local sales taxes or use taxes may become payable upon import of lots following purchase. Buyers should consult their own tax advisors.
Conditions of Sale The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty set out 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, the UK Auction Buyer’s Guide, the Important Notices, VAT & Tax Guide and the Authorship Warranty carefully before bidding. 1 Introduction Each lot in this catalogue is offered 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 affiliated with Phillips may own a lot, in which case we will act as agent for that company, or Phillips or an affiliated company may have a legal, beneficial or financial 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 offered 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 satisfied 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 identification 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 at our absolute discretion. Neither Phillips nor any of our affiliated companies shall be liable for any difference 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. Proof of identity in the form of government issued identification will be required, as will an original signature and proof of address. We may also require that you furnish us with a bank reference. For individuals, acceptable forms of government issued photo identification include a passport or photo driving licence. For companies, acceptable forms of government issued identification include a certificate of incorporation as well as proof of owners and directors.
(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 of the sale. The bidder must clearly indicate the maximum amount he or she intends to bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and value added tax (VAT). The auctioneer will not accept an instruction to execute an absentee bid which does not indicate such maximum bid. Our staff 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 £500. Phillips reserves the right to require written confirmation of a successful bid from a telephone bidder by fax or otherwise immediately after 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 final 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 ‘floor’ bids. ‘Floor’ bids include bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. In the event that an online bid and a ‘floor’ or ‘phone’ bid are identical, the ‘floor’ bid may take precedence at the auctioneer’s discretion. The next bidding increment is shown for the convenience of online bidders in 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 identified 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 anti-competitive agreement. (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.
5 Conduct of the Auction (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol •, each lot is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential 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-offer a lot for sale (including after 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 after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. The auctioneer may accept bids made by a company affiliated 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 offered 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 pounds sterling and payment is due in pounds sterling. For the benefit of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in US dollars and/or euros and, if so, will reflect approximate exchange rates. Accordingly, estimates in US dollars 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 offered 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, plus any applicable
value added tax (VAT) and any applicable resale royalty (the ‘Purchase Price’). The buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including £300,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above £300,000 up to and including £3,000,000 and 13.5% of the portion of the hammer price above £3,000,000. 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 offered and sold at auction. (b) VAT is payable in accordance with applicable law. All prices, fees, charges and expenses set out in these Conditions of Sale are quoted exclusive of VAT. (c) If the Artist’s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to the lot, the buyer agrees to pay to us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those regulations and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist’s collection agent. In circumstances where (i) we are on notice that the resale royalty is payable or (ii) we have not been able to ascertain the nationality of the artist, we will identify the lot with the symbol ♠ next to the lot number and will invoice the resale royalty to the buyer. If we subsequently determine that the nationality of the artist does not entitle him/her to the resale royalty on the lot, we will arrange a refund to the buyer of the amount of the royalty paid to us. If, after a sale in which we did not collect the resale royalty on a particular lot, we become aware that information provided to us prior to the auction concerning an artist’s nationality was incorrect and the artist is entitled to the resale royalty on the lot, the buyer shall pay the resale royalty to us upon receipt of an invoice. (d) 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 pounds sterling as follows: (i) Payments may be made by wire transfer. Our account details are available on our website. Please reference the relevant invoice number when making payment. Alternatively, payment can be made: • For invoices of £30,000 or less by credit card. We accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard and UnionPay (UnionPay for in person transactions only). • It is our corporate policy not to make or accept single or multiple payments in cash in excess of £5,000 for all purchases in any calendar year. (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 identification has been provided, and any earlier release does not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s unconditional obligation to pay the Purchase Price. 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 affiliated companies, including any charges payable pursuant to Paragraph 8 (a) below, and the buyer has satisfied such other terms as we in our sole
discretion shall require, including completing any antimoney laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks. As soon as a buyer has satisfied all of the foregoing conditions, he or she should contact us at +44 (0) 207 318 4081 or +44 (0) 207 318 4082 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. After the auction, we will transfer all lots to our offsite fine art storage facilities. Details will be included in the buyer information packs sent to buyers after the auction. Purchased lots are at the buyer’s risk, including the responsibility for insurance, from (i) the date of collection or (ii) seven days after the auction, whichever is the earlier. 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 hand carry only. We do not provide packing, handling, insurance or shipping services. We will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer, whether or not recommended by Phillips, in order to facilitate the packing, handling, insurance and shipping of property bought at Phillips. Any such instruction 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. (d) Phillips will require presentation of government-issued identification prior to release of a lot to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative. 8 Failure to Collect Purchases (a) Lots will be held for collection from our offsite storage facilities for thirty (30) days after the auction free of charge. Storage charges and property release fees will apply after this 30-day period for any lots which have not been collected. Details of the applicable storage charges will be confirmed to buyers in the buyer information pack they will receive after the auction. Purchased lots will not be released to the buyer until the Purchase Price and all 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 affiliated 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; (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 notification of the buyer, exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in the possession of Phillips and instruct our affiliated 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 affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission, all sale-related expenses and any applicable taxes thereon; (vi) resell the lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips’s 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 off the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer against any amounts which we or any of our affiliated 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. (b) The buyer irrevocably authorizes Phillips to exercise a lien over the buyer’s property which is in our possession upon notification by any of our affiliated companies that the buyer is in default of payment. Phillips will notify the buyer of any such lien. The buyer also irrevocably authorizes Phillips, upon notification by any of our affiliated companies that the buyer is in default of payment, to pledge the buyer’s property in our possession by actual or constructive delivery to our affiliated 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 affiliated company by way of pledge.
(c) If the buyer is in default of payment, the buyer irrevocably authorizes Phillips to instruct any of our affiliated companies in possession of the buyer’s property to deliver the property by way of pledge as the buyer’s agent to a third party instructed by Phillips to hold the property on our behalf as security for the payment of the Purchase Price and any other amount due and, no earlier than 30 days from the date of written notice to the buyer, to sell the property in such manner and for such consideration as can reasonably be obtained on a forced sale basis and to apply the proceeds to any amount owed to Phillips or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission, all salerelated expenses and any applicable taxes thereon. 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 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.
Buyers should note that they are responsible for all charges, duties and taxes related to the exportation and importation of lots shipped by them or shipped on their behalf by Phillips.
11 Export, Import and Endangered Species Licences and Permits Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own enquiries as to whether a licence is required to export a lot from the United Kingdom 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. Please note that the US prohibits the importation of any item containing African elephant ivory. Asian elephant ivory may be imported in to the US only if accompanied by independent scientifc analysis of continent of origin and confrmation the object is more than 100 years old.
Please contact the department organising the auction for further details.
With regard to any item containing endangered species other than elephant ivory, an importer into the US must provide documented evidence of the species identifcation and age of an object in order to demonstrate that the item qualifes as an antique. This will require the buyer to obtain an independent appraisal certify the species of endangered material on the object and certifying that the object is not less than 100 years of age. A prospective buyer planning to import an object containing endangered species into the US may not rely on Phillips cataloguing to establish the species of endangered material on the object or to establish the age of the object and must consult with a qualifed independent appraiser prior to placing a bid on the lot. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licences or permits. Failure to obtain a licence 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. US Import Tarifs Buyers intending to import property into the United States of America should note that US Customs may charge an additional import duty upon the importation of (i) products manufactured or created in mainland China and (ii) printed materials (including photographs, prints, lithographs, books and designs) printed in the UK or Germany. Phillips will mark with a symbol Ж lots which may be subject to additional US import tarifs, where this is known to us. Please note, however, that any such markings are done by us only as a convenience to bidders. Phillips does not accept liability for errors including failing to mark lots accurately or for the absence of any marking.
13 Privacy (a) You acknowledge and understand that we may process your personal data (including potentially special category data) in accordance with our privacy policy from time to time as published at www.phillips.com or available by emailing dataprotection@phillips.com. (b) Our privacy policy sets out: (i) the types of personal data we will or may collect and process; (ii) the purposes for which we will or may process your personal data (including for example the provision of auction, private sale and related services; the performance and enforcement of these terms and conditions; the carrying out of identity and credit checks; keeping you informed about upcoming auctions, exhibitions and special events; and generally where reasonably necessary in the management and operation of our business); (iii) the lawful bases on which we rely in undertaking our processing of your personal data; (iv) your rights in respect of our processing of your personal data; and (v) various other information as required by applicable laws. (c) Phillips premises and sale and exhibition venues are subject to CCTV video surveillance and recording for security, client service and bid monitoring purposes and will be filmed during the auction for simultaneous live broadcast on our and third party websites and applications. By remaining in these areas, you acknowledge that you may be photographed, filmed and recorded and grant your permission for your likeness and voice to be included in such recordings. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed or appear in such recordings, please speak to a member of Phillips staff.

Phillips warrants the authorship of property in this auction catalogue described in headings in BOLD or CAPITALIZED type for a period of five years from date of sale by Phillips, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth below. (a) Phillips gives this Authorship Warranty only to the original buyer of record (i.e., the registered successful bidder) of any lot. This Authorship Warranty does not extend to (i) subsequent owners of the property, including purchasers or recipients by way of gift from the original buyer, heirs, successors, beneficiaries and assigns; (ii) property where the description in the catalogue states that there is a conflict of opinion on the authorship of the property; (iii) property where our attribution of authorship was on the date of sale consistent with the generally accepted opinions of specialists, scholars or other experts; (iv) property whose description or dating is proved inaccurate by means of scientific methods or tests not generally accepted for use at the time of the publication of the catalogue or which were at such time deemed unreasonably expensive or impractical to use or likely in our reasonable opinion to have caused damage or loss in value to the lot or (v) property where there has been no material loss in value from the value of the lot had it been as described in the heading of the catalogue entry. (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. We shall not be bound by any expert report produced by the buyer and reserve the right to consult our own experts at our expense. If Phillips agrees to rescind a sale under the Authorship Warranty, we shall refund to the buyer the reasonable costs charged by the experts commissioned by the buyer and approved in advance by us. (c) Subject to the exclusions set forth in subparagraph (a) above, the buyer may bring a claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty provided that (i) he or she has notified Phillips in writing within three months of receiving any information which causes the buyer to question the authorship of the lot, specifying the auction in which the property was included, the lot number in the auction catalogue and the reasons why the authorship of the lot is being questioned and (ii) the buyer returns the lot to Phillips to the saleroom in which it was purchased in the same condition as at the time of its auction and is able to transfer good and marketable title in the lot free from any third party claim arising after the date of the auction. Phillips has discretion to waive any of the foregoing requirements set forth in this subparagraph (c) or subparagraph (b) above. (d) The buyer understands and agrees that the exclusive remedy for any breach of the Authorship Warranty shall be rescission of the sale and refund of the original Purchase Price paid. This remedy shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips, any of our affiliated companies and the seller and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law or equity. This means that none of Phillips, any of our affiliated companies or the seller shall be liable for loss or damage beyond the remedy expressly provided in this Authorship Warranty, whether such loss or damage is characterized as direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential, or for the payment of interest on the original Purchase Price.
