Brazilian artist duo Os Gêmeos, the collaborative venture of twin brothers Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo, has gained widespread recognition for its visually impacting, large-scale graffiti works, which grace public spaces across the world. They began their career twenty years ago as graffiti artists, working in urban neighborhoods in São Paulo. Nowadays, in cities such as New York, Berlin, and Lisbon, among many others, one can turn a corner and find a large yellow figure, usually dressed in colorful clothing, looking out unto the surrounding urban landscape. Os Gêmeos have succeeded in internationalizing their visual language, and they have long been a leading force in the global street art scene. Although they have since branched out into a wide variety of mediums and modes of artistic expression—comprising installation, painting, and sculpture— their signature style and creative energy remain intact.

Os Gêmeos’ works are riots of color and form, always immediately recognizable as their own. Inspired by their heritage, the brothers often incorporate imagery from Brazilian popular culture, such as festivals and street performers. While harnessing the concept of spectacle as an ingenious compositional tool, their body of work also offers interesting contrasts between rural and urban landscapes. As graffiti artists, their first forays into art centered on the streets of a crowded metropolis.

However, Os Gêmeos have always been interested in popular culture of all kinds, understanding that any given society is composed of a wide range of influences and realities. Many of their paintings offer insights into rustic, countryside settings, where figures look out from bucolic mountains or desert regions. The brothers have traveled across Brazil to learn about life in different rural communities, and these sensibilities are present throughout much of their work.

To improvise is the best way to make art. South America thrives on improvisation. Brazil is a country of great miscegenation of peoples, races, beliefs, folklores, popular cultures, foods, et cetera. It’s as if there were many worlds within a larger world called Brazil.

OS GÊMEOS

(V. Muniz and BOMB, “Os Gêmeos”, BOMB, Winter 2008, No. 102, p. 61).

(detail of exterior of the present lot)

The present lot takes its roots in an earlier painting by Os Gêmeos titled Serenade (2008), where two men wearing head-shaped hats play musical instruments against a rural backdrop and a night sky filled with fireworks.

They are in the midst of an outdoor celebration, which the viewer experiences through the vibrant palette and exaggerated figures. In the background, the viewer can discern a giant head on top of a pickup truck.

While creating Untitled, Os Gêmeos brought elements of Serenade to life.

They created a wooden version of the enormous head and laid it on the chassis of a Volkswagen Beetle. The head opens on hinges to reveal a glittering purple interior, similar to the exterior of a disco ball. The reverse of the face has been turned into a cabinet of curiosities, featuring antique radios, clocks, and figurines. The car’s wooden armature is intricately decorated with flower motifs, found objects, yellow human figures, and several musical instruments, including a piano keyboard and several trumpets. The work’s interactive nature enables the viewer to discover countless details and hidden treasures, such as a music box and an intricate metal fence that functions as a bumper.

Untitled is one of the most elaborate art objects Os Gêmeos have ever created, and it contains elements that have come to define their influential artistic career. It is an extraordinary celebration of popular culture and contemporary artistic freedom, which echoes the very foundations of street art, as well as the artists’ deep-rooted interests in fostering positive interactions between all sectors of society. By bringing elements of popular art and culture into the gallery space, Os Gêmeos’ work blurs the boundaries between street and fine art, successfully balancing the supposed differences between counter-culture movements and more traditional aesthetics. The present lot is a direct result of Os Gêmeos’ boundless imagination and material resourcefulness, and it exemplifies the artists’ philosophy and groundbreaking talents.

Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds is another work at the (unconscious) source of the Insertions. It is an example of an object that exists precisely at this borderline between fiction and reality—it belongs to those two worlds simultaneously. I consider readymades and the War of the Worlds to be two or three of the greatest art objects of the twentieth century.

CILDO MEIRELES

(G. Brett, ed., Cildo Meireles, London, 2008, p. 65).

Cildo Meireles is internationally recognized as one of the most influential Latin American artists of the 20th century. His body of work is comprised of such a wide array of media that it is impossible to classify him within a single style or movement. Having emerged as an artist in the 1960s, his artistic practice is often described as an example of a politicized version of conceptualism, although that label does not accurately encapsulate the nuances of his observations. As the artist stated, “In some way you become political when you don’t have a chance to be poetic. I think human beings would much prefer to be poetic.” Much of Meireles’ work deals with the intricacies of social interactions and how they are affected by structures of power, which can be of a political, social, cultural, or physical nature. The present lot is one of his most celebrated works, and it embodies the artist’s insurmountable ability to expose unsuspecting socio-political mechanisms through art.

This lot is part of a large scale art project titled Insertions into Ideological Circuits. Meireles began to execute his Insertions in 1970, during a period of intense political oppression in Brazil. He found a way to circumvent the government censors by printing political messages of protest on glass Coca-Cola bottles, which were then returned into circulation.

Meireles was channeling the idea of the castaway’s message in a bottle, which is thrown in the ocean in hopes of eventual communication.

Meireles’ replaced the ocean with the Brazilian public and the means of commercial production that daily life inevitably centers around. Almost invisible when empty, the messages printed on transfer text became more legible when the bottles were refilled at the factory. Few people Marcel Duchamp, Fountain, 1964. Urinal inscribed, “R.

I regard everything as a territory in which I am moving pieces around. I have never learned to play chess, but I imagine this is a similar process, because I can always make out those movements and think: ‘I won’t go down that road,’ or ‘I’ll go this way because this works.’ There are times one thinks about one’s life and work and where they connect. So in those moments I put myself in a position where I can observe the chessboard.

And of course, it isn’t only me moving the pieces around—everyone is.

meaning and resolution.

During this time, Dias’ body of work acquired a strict two-dimensional rigor, showcasing diagrams and environments through words and signs.

He employed language as a ready-made, laconically moving simple texts and catchphrases across his surfaces. Drawn from advertising jargon and the political mood of the period, his paintings became enigmatic expressions that offered valuable insight into his artistic and political context. Words like “The Prison” and “Free Continent” are important examples of how Dias’ incorporated new interests and situations into his practice. At face value, many of these elements seem to refer exclusively to the Brazilian political reality, yet nothing in Dias’ art is one-dimensional.

He uses the word “prison” to refer to a dictatorial system that expected artists to obey its mandates, and also to the concept of the modernist grid that revolutionized art and enabled it to free itself from the confines of pictorial realism. Dias’ art is at once a denunciation, a celebration, and an intellectual debate. He reveals the strength of a new international order in art and culture.

This oscillation in purpose is present in Free Continent: Natural Richnesses.

LYGIA PAPE

(M.L. Blanco, ed., Lygia Pape: Espacio Imantado, Madrid, 2011, p. 374).

Lygia Pape was one of the most prominent figures in Brazil’s NeoConcrete group. Her beginnings as an artist centered on Grupo Frente, an association of artists dedicated to developing the visual language of geometric abstraction, in keeping with the dictates of the global Concrete movement. Although her affiliation with Grupo Frente lasted a short time, its aesthetic values proved to be an important influence in her career.

Pape’s artistic vision quietly rejects figuration in the traditional sense.

Rather than superimposing representational figures on a background, she enabled her works to become forms in their own right, existing independently in space and interacting freely with their real surroundings.

In his eyes, a tree was not really a tree unless it captured the breeze sifting through it, and the way the sunlight affected the colors of the leaves in millions of different ways. As such, throughout his career Soto remained aware of the Impressionist movement, whose concentration on the nuances of light and color influenced him from an early age. He sought to build on the Impressionists’ accomplishments because, as he later stated, “Art is structured in a way that is not limited to the imitation of natural forms… Even during historical periods where art seemed to have no other purpose, great artists used nature as a starting point to create another reality that is the true meaning of art” (quoted in A. Jiménez, 161).

Soto dedicated his life to the creation of this other reality, constantly searching for a new way to decipher the physical universe through art. His predecessors had already conquered representation, and Soto instead focused his artistic curiosity on the concepts of light, movement, and

Edgar Negret was one of the most accomplished Colombian artists of the 20th century, and he played an important role in the development of modern sculpture in Latin America. Due to his innovative use of simple forms, industrial materials, and stark colors, he is considered a pioneer of Colombian Constructivism along with Omar Rayo and Carlos Rojas. His first forays into art-making involved traditional mediums such as wood and stone, recalling the influence of European modernists like Jean Arp and Constantin Brancusi. Educated at the School of Fine Arts in Cali, Negret traveled a great deal during the 1950s, living in New York, Paris, and Barcelona. It was in New York that he was first exposed to the work of Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, and Jack Youngerman, whose visual language would become a central influence in Negret’s art.

Fiesta andina is an enthusiastic celebration of color and structure, and it displays Negret’s technical and conceptual abilities at the height of his creative powers. Considered one of Negret’s most important works, Fiesta andina evokes the vibrant imagery and graceful movement characteristic of traditional Andean popular festivals. The proliferation of color in the undulating aluminum sheets provides an interesting contrast to the solidity of the armature, resulting in an elegant display of Constructivist principles and vivacious aesthetic relationships. Fiesta andina is emblematic of Negret’s belief that the simplest shapes and materials possess a distinctly noble quality, which is manifested through creative juxtapositions and elegant spatial interactions.

There is a duality between what emerges from the conscious mind and the unconscious. What interests me above all is the idea delivered by a painting; in the face of my work, I no longer exist.

(L. Laurin-Lam and E. Lam, Wifredo Lam Catalogue Raisonné of the Painted Work Volume II 1961-1982, Lausanne, 2002, p. 18).

Jacqueline Roque, Wifredo Lam, Pablo Picasso, and Lou Laurin-Lam at Picasso’s house, Mougins, 1966.

The internationally renowned Cuban painter Wifredo Lam has long been considered one of the formative figures of Latin American modernism. His inimitable approach to figuration and his cross-cultural aesthetic vision earned him the admiration of contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró. Taking cues from Cubism and Surrealism, Lam devised a unique style that infused Western modernism with African and Caribbean symbolism. His steadfast belief in artistic freedom spurred nearly seven decades of artistic and intellectual production, resulting in a widely celebrated body of work that serves as a testament of the artist’s passionate dedication to his socio-cultural origins.

Wifredo Lam was born in 1902 in a Cuban sugar-farming province, to a family of mixed-race ancestry. His grandmother was a former slave from the Congo, and his father was a Chinese immigrant. His village was mostly populated by descendants of African slaves, and his family, like many others, incorporated African traditions and mysticism into their Catholic faith. From an early age Lam witnessed the spiritual practices of Santería, a syncretic belief system that blends elements of Catholicism with those of West African religions introduced to the New World by the slave trade. His personal knowledge of these rites, which often involved vibrant imagery and music, would become a decisive influence in his art.

For decades Roberto Matta has been considered a defining presence in Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, two of the most significant movements in modern Western art. His artistic career flourished during a period of great socio-political tensions and global unrest, a time when armed conflict consumed Europe, dictatorships reigned in Latin America, and scientific developments in warfare threatened the lives of populations around the world. The international climate of anxiety was felt across all sectors of society, and it changed the way artists approached and experienced their creative processes. The very purpose of art had to be reexamined, and the visual language of the past no longer seemed relevant. This prompted Matta to delve into the philosophy of Surrealism, seeking to study the inner workings of the human mind as it related to art, culture, and science. He also paid close attention to social phenomena around the world, incorporating the effect of new technologies and cultural trends into his paintings. The present lot is an important example of Matta’s sophisticated and ingenious responses to the turbulent PostWar conditions. Through works like The Boxers, Matta cemented his prominent position within the modern art historical canon.

Born and raised in Chile, Matta journeyed to Paris as a young man in 1934, where he worked as an apprentice for modernist architect Le Corbusier.

Inspired by the studio’s visionary projects, Matta developed a talent for displaying otherworldly beauty through physical structures. He became an integral member of the Parisian artistic circles, and at the insistence of Salvador Dalí and André Breton, he decided to take up painting in 1938.

Like his peers in the Surrealist movement, Matta was deeply interested in the workings of the human subconscious, believing it to be the breeding ground for the ideas and innovations that have come to define civilizations.

Matta’s initial forays into painting are characterized by an ethereal fluidity in form and composition. His canvases appear to oscillate between liquid and solid states, enrapturing the eye with a subtle dance of color and amorphous figures. He illustrates the phenomenon of thoughts taking physical shape, battling for survival in our collective unconscious.

1 PRIOR TO AUCTION 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.

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.

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.

Symbol Key The following key explains the symbols you may see inside this catalogue.

O Guaranteed Property The seller of lots with this symbol has been guaranteed a minimum price. The guarantee may be provided by Phillips de Pury & Company, by a third party or jointly by us and a third party. Phillips de Pury & Company and third parties providing or participating in a guarantee may benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. A third party guarantor may also bid for the guaranteed lot and may be allowed to net the financial remuneration received in connection with the guarantee against the final purchase price if such party is the successful bidder.

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. 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.

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.

Bidding 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 $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

3 THE AUCTION Conditions of Sale As noted above, the auction is governed by the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty. All prospective bidders should read them carefully. They may be amended by saleroom addendum or auctioneer’s announcement.

Interested Parties Announcement In situations where a person allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the 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 de Pury & Company will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot.

Consecutive and Responsive Bidding; No Reserve Lots The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. If a lot is 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.

Loss or Damage Buyers are reminded that Phillips de Pury & Company accepts liability for loss or damage to lots for a maximum of seven days following the auction.

Transport and Shipping As a free service for buyers, Phillips de Pury & Company will wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We will, at the buyer’s expense, either provide packing, handling and shipping services or coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer in order to facilitate such services for property purchased at Phillips de Pury & Company. Please refer to Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Sale for more information.

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

Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates

4 AFTER THE AUCTION Payment Buyers are required to pay for purchases immediately following the auction unless other arrangements are agreed with Phillips de Pury & Company in writing in advance of the sale.

Payments must be made in US dollars either by cash, check drawn on a US bank or wire transfer, as noted in Paragraph 6 of the Conditions of Sale. It is our corporate policy not to make or accept single or multiple payments in cash or cash equivalents in excess of US$10,000.

upon importation to any foreign country. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. We 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. Please note that lots containing potentially regulated

Credit Cards As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company will accept American Express, Visa and Mastercard to pay for invoices of $10,000 or less.

plant or animal material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Phillips de Pury & Company does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.

Collection It is our policy to request proof of identity on collection of a lot. A lot will be released to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative when Phillips de Pury & Company has received full and cleared payment and we are not owed any other amount by the buyer. Promptly after the auction, we will transfer all lots to our warehouse located at 29-09 37th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, New York. All purchased lots should be collected at this location during our regular weekday business hours. As a courtesy to clients, we will upon request transfer purchased lots suitable for hand carry back to our premises at 450 West 15th Street, New York, New York for collection within 30 days following the date of the auction. For each purchased lot not collected from us at either our warehouse or our auction galleries by such date, Phillips de Pury & Company will levy a late collection fee of $50, an additional administrative fee of $10 per day and insurance charges of 0.1% of the Purchase Price per month on each uncollected lot.

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 directly, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or a company affiliated with Phillips de Pury & Company may own a lot, in which case we will act as agent for that company, or Phillips de Pury & Company 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 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 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 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

LATAM_NY_NOV12_backmatter_bluelines3_132-141.indd 135

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 $1,000. 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) By participating in the auction, whether in person, by absentee bid or on the telephone, 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 and are otherwise consistent with federal and state antitrust law. (f) 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. (g) 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 each lot is offered subject to a reserve, (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol 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.

r

(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 de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company 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 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

29/10/12 08.23

price above $50,000 up to and including $1,000,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above $1,000,000. Phillips de Pury & Company 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) 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.

Checks or banker’s drafts drawn by third parties will not be accepted. (iii) Payment by wire transfer may be sent directly to Phillips de Pury & Company.

(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.

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, each lot will incur a late collection fee of $50, administrative charges of $10 per day and insurance charges of .1% of the Purchase Price per month on each uncollected lot.

We will not release purchased lots to the buyer until all such charges have been paid in full. (b) If a purchased lot is paid for but not collected within six months of the auction, the buyer authorizes Phillips 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 seven 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; (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) 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. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company 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.

(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.

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.

13 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY (a) Subject to subparagraph (e) below, the total liability of Phillips de Pury & Company, our affiliated companies and the seller to the buyer in connection with the sale of a lot shall be limited to the Purchase Price actually paid by the buyer for the lot. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 13, none of Phillips de Pury & Company, any of our affiliated companies or the seller (i) is liable for any errors or omissions, whether orally or in writing, in information provided to prospective buyers by Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies or (ii) accepts responsibility to any bidder in respect of acts or omissions, whether negligent or otherwise, by Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies in connection with the conduct of the auction or for any other matter relating to the sale of any lot. (c) All warranties other than the Authorship Warranty, express or implied, including any warranty of satisfactory quality and fitness for purpose, are specifically excluded by Phillips de Pury & Company, our affiliated companies and the seller to the fullest extent permitted by law. (d) Subject to subparagraph (e) below, none of Phillips de Pury & Company, any of our affiliated companies or the seller shall be liable to the buyer for any loss or damage beyond the refund of the Purchase Price referred to in subparagraph (a) above, whether such loss or damage is characterized as direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential, or for the payment of interest on the Purchase Price to the fullest extent permitted by law. (e) No provision in these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to exclude or limit the liability of Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies to the buyer in respect of any fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation made by any of us or in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligent acts or omissions.

14 COPYRIGHT The copyright in all images, illustrations and written materials produced by or for Phillips de Pury & Company relating to a lot, including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of Phillips de Pury & Company and such images and materials may not be used by the buyer or any other party without our prior written consent.

Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller make no representations or warranties that the buyer of a lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

Phillips de Pury & Company warrants the authorship of property in this auction catalogue for a period of five years from date of sale by Phillips de Pury & Company, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth below. (a) Phillips de Pury & Company 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) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been as described in the heading of the catalogue entry. (b) In any claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty, Phillips de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company. 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 de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company 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 de Pury & Company 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. (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 de Pury & Company, any of our affiliated companies and the seller and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law. This means that none of Phillips de Pury & Company, 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.

15 GENERAL (a) These Conditions of Sale, as changed or supplemented as provided in Paragraph 1 above, and Authorship Warranty set out the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersede all prior and contemporaneous written, oral or implied understandings, representations and agreements. (b) Notices to Phillips de Pury & Company shall be in writing and addressed to the department in charge of the sale, quoting the reference number specified at the beginning of the sale catalogue. Notices to clients shall be addressed to the last address notified by them in writing to Phillips de Pury & Company. (c) These Conditions of Sale are not assignable by any buyer without our prior written consent but are binding on the buyer’s successors, assigns and representatives. (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. No failure by any party to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right or remedy under these Conditions of Sale shall act as a waiver or release thereof in whole or in part.

16 LAW AND JURISDICTION (a) The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty, the conduct of the auction and any matters related to any of the foregoing shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of law rules. (b) Phillips de Pury & Company, all bidders and all sellers agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the (i) state courts of the State of New York located in New York City and (ii) the federal courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty relate or apply. (c) All bidders and sellers irrevocably consent to service of process or any other documents in connection with proceedings in any court by facsimile transmission, personal service, delivery by mail or in any other manner permitted by New York law or the law of the place of service, at the last address of the bidder or seller known to Phillips de Pury & Company.
