Pragmatic metal master Jean Prouvé built steel and aluminum furniture noted for its function, durability, and ease. His “Table Centrale,” also called “Trapèze,” reflects the rational principles first proclaimed by Le Corbusier in Towards a New Architecture (1923). Prouvé shifted load bearing from outer legs (which impede the legs) to internal supports; they more effectively transmit forces to the floor. He projected the top beyond those supports, giving the table an overall impression of lightness despite its mass. Not surprisingly Charlotte Perriand, longtime collaborator of Le Corbusier, commissioned Prouvé to build the first variation of “Trapèze,” an illuminated library table for the Maison de la Médecine, in July 1951. In that instance, two tubular steel trapezoids and a bent steel stretcher bore a solid plank designed by woodworker André Chetaille.

In the late 1950s Constructions Jean Prouvé built the present table, a short two-legged version in grey-green lacquer, for the Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique (C.E.A.), a French government-funded research organization concerned with defense and energy technologies. During the late 1940s and 1950s, Prouvé supplied a wide range of furniture for offices, conference rooms, and laboratories at C.E.A. sites in Saclay, Marcoule, Grenoble, and in Algiers.

As was frequently the case, Prouvé revisited and refined his most successful forms; throughout the 1950s he built variations of “Trapèze” tables for five confirmed locations: Maison de la Médecine (1951); Cité Université d’Antony (1954-55); Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale de Paris (1954); the office of architects Lagneau et Weill (1954-55); and for the C.E.A. (1952-58), of which fifteen known examples exist in seven variations according to size, shape, color, and number of supports. Among them are demountable two- and three-legged tables with straight or curved central beams in grey-green or black lacquer. Three C.E.A. examples, including the present lot, bear circular metal plates which support their tops; the other twelve tables bear narrow projecting brackets.

As Peter Sulzer has stated in Volume 4 of Jean Prouvé Œuvre Complète (2008), a recently discovered letter, dated April 1958 and written by Prouvé to C.E.A. architect Michel Luyckx, hints at a forthcoming order of “Trapèze” tables: “…So, for your laboratory and conference tables, I am proposing to you variants of the tables made for the Antony faculty, but stronger and larger models.”

After the doldrums of war, European furniture of the 1950s perked up: seats swelled; silhouettes swung out of bounds. The geometric rigors of Modernism succumbed to cants, curves, and playful biomorphs: Serge Mouille’s insect lamps, alert on spindle legs, threatened to walk away; Carlo Mollino’s sculpted chairs, pitched at dangerous angles, never sat still. In an undated graphite drawing, Mollino sketched a gazelle in flight, a telling inspiration. French designer Jean Royère added to the menagerie; his silhouettes drew inspiration from surrealism and from the natural world: “Polar Bears,” “Elephants,” “Eggs,” and “Bananas,” an unexpected bunch. Royère enlivened his furniture with playful names, robust volumes, and elaborate upholstery, as in the present lot. He first exhibited a similar canapé at “La Résidence Française,” a 1947 Paris show organized by the magazine Art et Industrie. In Jean Royère (Galerie de Beyrie, 2000), collector Michael Boyd wrote: “There is a serious sculptural content imbued—but there is a playful, even humorous side, too.” Simply put, Royère cracked a good joke. But Boyd is right, Royère modeled in the round. In the present sofa, the horizontal sweep of the frame is mimicked by a vertical one: the broad slope of the back into the arms, a continuous curve. The sofa’s shapely lines offer surprising lightness and grace—it’s no elephant in the room.

Phillips de Pury & Company would like to thank Dorsey Reading for his assistance in cataloging this and the following lot.

Wandering through Bucks County, Pennsylvania in the early 1960s, Dr. Alfred Jones (psychologist, collector) discovered the great studio furniture makers Paul Evans and Phillip Lloyd Powell. Close collaborators, the two designers shared a showroom in the small town of New Hope, halfway between New York and Philadelphia on Old York Road. Home to the Bucks County Playhouse, New Hope enjoyed a lively traffic of visitors, actors, and artists (George Nakashima maintained a studio in the nearby woods; Grace Kelly had debuted at the Playhouse in 1949).

Following his discharge from the Army Air Corps—he had flown B17s over Europe—Dr. Jones studied painting at the New School for Social Research, a progressive university in New York. Although he later earned a Ph.D. in psychology, Dr. Jones maintained a lifelong interest in the arts; he frequented galleries and was a devoted subscriber to the Metropolitan Opera and to New York City Ballet.

Among his many affections, Dr. Jones indulged two sweethearts: wine and song. An avid collector of rare vintages, Dr. Jones commissioned the present lot, a commanding cabinet bar built by Evans in 1963 with the assistance of studio foreman Dorsey Reading. As design critic Julie Iovine has elaborated in her recent book Modern Americana (Rizzoli, 2008), Evans would have sketched in chalk on a wood carcass the cabinet’s many details—patchworks and perforations. Reading, a trained machinist, faithfully executed them in metal. In the present case, Evans’s alternation of pierced panels with solid, polychrome ones adds counterpoint rhythm to the bar’s folding doors. Punctures draw the eye, raised weld marks and color swatches push it back.

From chamber music to jazz, Dr. Jones amassed a broad selection of vinyl, which he listened to on a D44000 Paragon, the landmark speaker system then in vogue among enthusiasts. The stereo itself was housed in a unique wall-mounted cabinet built by Powell (Lot 19). The latter’s generous use of 23-karat gold leaf corresponded to Evans’s similar treatment to the interior of the bar, which stood across the living room in Dr. Jones’s Central Park West apartment, where he had moved in 1962. As Reading has confirmed, the bar and stereo cabinets were designed by Evans and Powell respectively; they bear distinct authorship, although the commission was a joint one. Together Evans and Powell would have installed both works in Dr. Jones’s living room, where they remained in close conversation, as the designers had been, until the present day.

Each: 30 1/2 in. (77.5 cm.) high

Estimate

$180,000-220,000

LITERATURE Daniel Abadie, Lalanne(s), Paris, 2008, p. 304

In 1965 Claude Lalanne designed her “Grains de Café” or “Coffee Beans” side chairs for the office of Olivier de La Baume, director of Maison du Café, a French coffee company. The chairs accompanied a writing desk and an articulated conference table designed for the same commission by husband François-Xavier Lalanne.

In 2004 the Centre Pompidou included Lalanne’s “Grains de Café” chair in its exhibition Mobilier national 19642004: 40 ans de creation. The single example illustrated in the accompanying catalog was editioned by Zol in the 1970s and produced in chrome-plated steel and black leather.

Madame Lalanne has confirmed that those “Grains de Café” chairs hand built by her, as with the present lot, had coffee-colored leather cushions, as opposed to chairs made by Zol, which featured white or black leather.

Philips de Pury & Company would like to thank Claude Lalanne for her assistance in cataloging this lot.

Tendrils and vines wind across the landscape of Claude Lalanne’s jewelry, furniture, and sculpture. Her output has been a fertile one: monumental bronze apples, copper hosta chairs, branch staircases, and aluminum tables made from outsize gingko leaves. Cast fruits and vegetables punctuate her body of work (body is the operative word); for the past half century, Lalanne has grown a tender garden: fennel-hands, apple-mouths, cabbagerabbits, a surreal collection of flora and fauna whose peculiar juxtapositions accentuate nature’s motley. She’s potted; but her imagination, sweetened by humor, never stumbles into dark corners like that of Salvador Dalí or Max Ernst, her Surrealist forebears.

In close collaboration with husband François-Xavier, with whom she worked until his death in 2008, Lalanne “…made constant surprise a driving force behind creativity…,” as Daniel Abadie states in his recent monograph (Lalanne(s), Paris, 2008). What is remarkable is that we should be so surprised by the facts of life on display: plants, fruits, vegetables, all that fare of which the Lalannes are so fond. Abadie states flatly, “…the Lalannes are remarkable cooks, simultaneously classic and inventive, primarily for the benefit of themselves and their friends…” The comment, in the context of culinary experimentation in France in the 1960s, is instructive for it recalls that old saw, “food is life,” and hints at a broader working method: the Lalannes combined basic ingredients—steel, brass, bronze—to ingenious effect for their own nourishment and for that of a small coterie of friends and collectors.

Olivier de La Baume, director of Maison du Café, must have been an intriguing client, for he presided over a food preparation company whose daily work was the packaging of daily roast. In 1965 François-Xavier designed both an articulated conference table and a writing desk for La Baume’s office. The desk’s hooded oval top, in the shape of a coffee bean, stood on clustered steel legs. To accompany desk and table, Claude hand built a set of side chairs, which she called “Grains de Café,” or “Coffee Beans.” The chairs comprise brass and steel frames with coffee-colored leather pads supported on clustered legs similar to desk and table (the curved elements are reminiscent of the spring steel supports of Poul Kjærholm’s famous “PK9” chair, designed in 1960). Claude shaped her backrests like stylized coffee berries whose oval forms cup two beans each, as in nature. Ranged around a room, the chairs percolate with caffeinated buoyancy.

Man personifies what he can’t apprehend: water, weather, the numen inside stone. Animals, too, are easy prey, so close to us in scale and mien. We lend them our attributes and freely borrow theirs; we say lionhearted or wise as an owl. Foreign bodies become less so when inhabited. Ancient Egyptians pulled Horus, god of sky, to earth, but they also gave him wing. Half falcon, half man, he represented the breadth of human imagination and its limits. Conversely, man has always lost himself in ritual costumes and disguises: Norse Berserkers wore bearskins into battle and fought with animal rage; Kwakiutl shamans, aided by raven masks, ascended to higher states. Ever since Zeus turned Lycaon into a wolf, shape shifters and baleful gluttons have stalked the edge of sleep and reason. They threaten to devour us—but we have conceived them.

With its arched layer of fluting, corrugated cardboard cushions against hard knocks. Devoted to the material, French artist Lilian Daubisse included only cardboard in his 2007 solo show at Arums Galerie in Paris. Of the eight works, “Hérisson” (2004), or “Hedgehog,” furthered the notion of protection: hedgehogs bristle with thousands of hollow spines. “Hérisson” comprises hollow cardboard quills applied to a polyester string shell.

Beyond its animal likeness, Daubisse’s hooded waistcoat references those shamanic costumes that evoke animal spirits by displaying their remains (The Russian Museum of Ethnography, for example, includes in its collection a Siberian robe with applied owl wings, squirrel pelts, and reindeer beard). Like a tutelary spirit, “Hérisson” watches over its wearer and guards his identity.

Closer to home, “Hérisson” calls to mind the recent work of American artist Nick Cave, whose acclaimed “Soundsuits” stride (literally) across broad ground: sculpture, fashion, performance, and sonic art. Cave crafts his head-to-toe suits from found articles—buttons, twigs, sequins, wire. He displays them, wears them, dances in them. His suits are an extension of the wearer’s body and an escape from it. Like them, and unlike every other autonomous object in this catalog, “Hérisson” breathes when its wearer breathes. But it needn’t move in order to move us.

An event horizon is the verge of a black hole, a point of no return from which light, matter, and radiation cannot escape. But approach is also impossible, for the horizon recedes, always out of reach. Two of Marc Newson’s early tables, “Black Hole” (1988) and “Event Horizon” (1992), directly address the designer’s abiding interest in outer space, and inner too. The partially hollow legs of each table, like funnels, are conceptual renderings of black holes. “Both my sculptural work and the production furniture have always had as much to do with what is not there as what is there—the voids, the interior spaces, the things that you don’t see” (Gagosian Gallery, 2007). Newson manifests the conundrums of the universe through earthly materials, carbon fiber and aluminum in the case of those early tables. He renders the remote vagaries of the cosmos as accessible local objects, platforms for daily life (“Black Hole” swallows pens and pennies). In the catalog accompanying Newson’s 2007 solo show at Gagosian Gallery, curator Louise Neri wrote: “Across his protean output, Newson has been preoccupied with how to achieve a maximum sense of volume with the least amount of material (or mass) possible, thereby creating space as a grand illusion of that volume.” Compact and dense, a black hole’s extreme mass creates a gravitational pull from which even light can’t escape—a heavy notion. Perversely, Newson molded his table from carbon fiber, a low-density material whose lightness adds unexpected contradiction. A single thread of carbon fiber consists of thousands of bundled filaments. Woven in a twill pattern, as in the present case, the minute warp and weft of the carbon yarn is distinct and viewable, not vast and unknowable like the woolly idea it represents. Newson doesn’t conjecture, he builds.

Along with his cantilevered “Komed” chairs, Marc Newson designed the present stools in 1996 for Osman, a brasserie in the KOMED Media Park in Cologne and one of Newson’s important restaurant commissions of the 1990s. The concentric rings of the stool’s channeled base mimic the geometry of his “Komed” light fixture, a cantilevered saucer, which he also included in the project. Osman’s round dining tables shared enlarged versions of the present stool base. “Komed” is a prime example of Newson’s preoccupation with seamlessness and fluidity. Only 15 examples of this design were produced for the restaurant.

Catalogue Subscriptions If you would like to purchase a catalogue for this auction or any other Phillips de Pury & Company sale, please contact us at +1 212 940 1240 or +44 20 7318 4010.

Bidding at Auction Bids may be executed during the auction in person by paddle or by telephone or prior to the sale in writing by absentee bid.

Pre-Sale Estimates Pre-Sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid within the high and low estimate range should, in our opinion, offer a chance of success.

However, many lots achieve prices below or above the pre-sale estimates. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the specialist department for further information. It is advisable to contact us closer to the time of the auction as estimates can be subject to revision. Pre-sale estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or any applicable taxes.

Bidding in Person To bid in person, you will need to register for and collect a paddle before the auction begins. Proof of identity in the form of government issued identification will be required, as will an original signature. We may also require that you furnish us with a bank reference. 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 de Pury & Company staff member immediately. At the end of the auction, please return your paddle to the registration desk.

Pre-Sale Estimates in Pounds Sterling and Euros Although the sale is conducted in US dollars, the pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogues may also be printed in pounds sterling and/or euros. Since the exchange rate is that at the time of catalogue production and not at the date of auction, you should treat estimates in pounds sterling or euros as a guide only.

Catalogue Entries Phillips may print in the catalogue entry the history of ownership of a work of art, as well as the exhibition history of the property and references to the work in art publications. While we are careful in the cataloguing process, provenance, exhibition and literature references may not be exhaustive and in some cases we may intentionally refrain from disclosing the identity of previous owners. Please note that all dimensions of the property set forth in the catalogue entry are approximate.

Condition of Lots Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition.The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company 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.

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 de Pury & Company accepts no liability for the condition of the frame. If we sell any lot unframed, we will be pleased to refer the purchaser to a professional framer.

Pre-Auction Viewing Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment.

Electrical and Mechanical Lots All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verified and approved by a qualified electrician.

Bidding by Telephone If you cannot attend the auction, you may bid live on the telephone with one of our multi-lingual 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 $1000.Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, you consent to the recording of your conversation. We suggest that you leave a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes, which we can execute on your behalf in the event we are unable to reach you by telephone.

Absentee Bids If you are unable to attend the auction and cannot participate by telephone, Phillips de Pury & Company 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 any applicable taxes. Unlimited bids will not be accepted. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

Employee Bidding Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. Absentee bids that do not conform to the increments set below may be lowered to the next bidding increment. $50 to $1,000 $1,000 to $2,000 $2,000 to $3,000 $3,000 to $5,000 $5,000 to $10,000 $10,000 to $20,000 $20,000 to $30,000 $30,000 to $50,000 $50,000 to $100,000 $100,000 to $200,000 above $200,000

Export and Import Licenses Before bidding for any property, prospective bidders are advised to make independent inquiries as to whether a license is required to export the property from the United States or to import it into another country. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to comply with all import and export laws and to obtain any necessary licenses or permits.The denial of any required license or permit or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.

We suggest that prospective bidders check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licenses or certificates as well as any other required documentation.The denial of any required license or certificate 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.

The items may not comply with the UK Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989 and 1993) and for this reason should not be used in a private home.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty set forth below govern the relationship between bidders and buyers, on the one hand, and Phillips de Pury & Company and sellers, on the other hand. All prospective buyers should read these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty carefully before bidding.

1 Introduction Each lot in this catalogue is 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 de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company and the seller contract with the buyer.

2 Phillips de Pury & Company as Agent Phillips de Pury & Company acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in this catalogue or at the time of auction. On occasion, Phillips de Pury & Company may own a lot, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or 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 de Pury & Company in relation to each lot is partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company is available for inspection by prospective buyers prior to the auction. Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company 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 presale 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 de Pury & Company. 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 de Pury & Company in our absolute discretion.

Neither Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company. (b) As a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person, Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company. 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 any applicable sales or use taxes.The auctioneer will not accept an instruction to execute an absentee bid which does not indicate such maximum bid. Our 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 de Pury & Company.Telephone bidding is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least $1000. Phillips de Pury & Company 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) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid or on the telephone, 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 de Pury & Company before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Phillips de Pury & Company and that we will only look to the principal for such payment. (e) Arranging absentee and telephone bids is a free service provided by Phillips de Pury & Company 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. (f) Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures.

5 Conduct of the Auction (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol each lot is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price agreed by Phillips de Pury & Company 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, reoffer 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. (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. (d)The sale will be conducted in US dollars and payment is due in US dollars. For the benefit of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in pounds sterling and/or euros and, if so, will reflect approximate exchange rates. Accordingly, estimates in pounds sterling or euros should be treated only as a guide. (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 and any applicable sales tax (the “Purchase Price”).The buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including $50,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $50,000 up to and including $1,000,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above $1,000,000. (b) Sales tax, use tax and excise and other taxes are payable in accordance with applicable law. All prices, fees, charges and expenses set out in these Conditions of Sale are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes. Phillips de Pury & Company will only accept valid resale certificates from US dealers as proof of exemption from sales tax. All foreign buyers should contact the Client Accounting Department about tax matters.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed, a buyer is required to pay for a purchased lot immediately following the auction regardless of any intention to obtain an export or import license or other permit for such lot. Payments must be made by the invoiced party in US dollars either by cash, check drawn on a US bank or wire transfer, as follows: (i) Phillips de Pury & Company will accept payment in cash provided that the total amount paid in cash or cash equivalents does not exceed US$10,000. Buyers paying in cash should do so in person at our Client Accounting Desk at 450 West 15th Street,Third Floor, during regular weekday business hours. (ii) Personal checks and banker’s drafts are accepted if drawn on a US bank and the buyer provides to us acceptable government issued identification.

(d)Title in a purchased lot will not pass until Phillips de Pury & Company has received the Purchase Price for that lot in cleared funds. Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company 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 anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks.

(b)The buyer must arrange for collection of a purchased lot within five days of the date of the auction. Promptly after the auction, we will transfer all lots to our warehouse located at 29-09 37th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, NewYork.

As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company will upon request transfer on a biweekly basis purchased lots suitable for hand carry back to our premises at 450 West 15th Street, NewYork, NewYork for collection within 30 days following the date of the auction. Purchased lots are at the buyer’s risk, including the responsibility for insurance, from the earlier to occur of (i) the date of collection or (ii) five days after the auction. Until risk passes, Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company will, without charge, wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We will, at the buyer’s expense, either provide packing, handling, insurance and shipping services or coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer in order to facilitate such services for property bought at Phillips de Pury & Company. Any such instruction, whether or not made at our recommendation, is entirely at the buyer’s risk and responsibility, and we will not be liable for acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers.Third party shippers should contact us by telephone at +1 212 940 1376 or by fax at +1 212 924 6477 at least 24 hours in advance of collection in order to schedule pickup. (d) Phillips de Pury & Company 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) If the buyer pays the Purchase Price but fails to collect a purchased lot within 30 days of the auction, the buyer will incur a late collection fee of $35, storage charges of $5 per day and pro rated insurance charges of .1% of the Purchase Price per month on each uncollected lot. (b) If a purchased lot is paid for but not collected within six months of the auction, the buyer authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company, upon notice, to arrange a resale of the item by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips de Pury & Company’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 de Pury & Company 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 five days of the auction, Phillips de Pury & Company may in our sole discretion exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) store the lot at Phillips de Pury & Company’s premises or elsewhere at the buyer’s sole risk and expense at the same rates as set forth in Paragraph 8 (a) above; (ii) cancel the sale of the lot, retaining any partial payment of the Purchase Price as liquidated damages; (iii) reject future bids from the buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit; (iv) charge interest at 12% per annum from the date payment became due until the date the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds; (v) subject to notification of the buyer, exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in the possession of Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission and all sale-related expenses; (vi) resell the lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips de Pury & Company’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; or (viii) 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. (b) As security to us for full payment by the buyer of all outstanding amounts due to Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, Phillips de Pury & Company retains, and the buyer grants to us, a security interest in each lot purchased at auction by the buyer and in any other property or money of the buyer in, or coming into, our possession or the possession of one of our affiliated companies. We may apply such money or deal with such property as the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law permits a secured creditor to do. In the event that we exercise a lien over property in our possession because the buyer is in default to one of our affiliated companies, we will so notify the buyer. Our security interest in any individual lot will terminate upon actual delivery of the lot to the buyer or the buyer’s agent. (c) In the event the buyer is in default of payment to any of our affiliated companies, the buyer also irrevocably authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company will notify the buyer if the buyer’s property has been delivered to an affiliated company by way of pledge.

10 Rescission by Phillips de Pury & Company Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company’s election to rescind the sale, the buyer will promptly return the lot to Phillips de Pury & Company, 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 de Pury & Company and the seller with respect to such rescinded sale..

11 Export, Import and Endangered Species Licenses and Permits Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own inquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the United States 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, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.

12 Client Information In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of auction related services, or as required by law, we may ask clients to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about clients from third parties (e.g., credit information). If clients provide us with information that is defined by law as "sensitive," they agree that Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies may use it for the above purposes. Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies will not use or process sensitive information for any other purpose without the client's express consent. If you would like further information on our policies on personal data or wish to make corrections to your information, please contact us at +1 212 940 1228. If you would prefer not to receive details of future events please call the above number.

(d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held void, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
