‘NEW YORK NEW YORK, big city of dreams,’ as Grandmaster Flash would rap in the early 80s. That’s already what this city represented for me as a teenager in Switzerland back in the mid 60s. The minute I touched the ground at JFK during my first visit then, I was mesmerized by what I saw.

Queuing for hours to get tickets to the musical ‘Hair,’ the beauty of Times Square at night, visiting artists in the slightly dangerous Greenwich Village, was all part of the experience. When I sit today at my Vito Acconci desk looking across 14th Street, now a chic fashion street rivaling Madison Avenue, watching the thousands of people strolling on the High Line, I am witness to the continuous morphing of this unique city.

The one thing that has never changed, however, is the shot of energy that you get when you arrive in New York and that feeling of slight melancholy you feel when heading back to JFK and leaving the metropolis behind you.

It is this energy that has enticed greatness in every imaginable area, and in none so much as in the world of art. For artists from Duchamp to Warhol to Koons, New York has been an unlimited source of energy and inspiration.

Collectors are artists in their own right and so it is not surprising that New York is home to some of the world’s greatest collectors. Ronald Lauder and Agnes Gund are the ultimate examples of the genius and excellence that can be achieved in collecting. MoMA would not be what it is without the passion and commitment of New Yorkers like them. We are most grateful to Agnes Gund to have opened her home to our writer Karen Wright for the article in this catalogue.

For this theme sale, we have asked our colleagues to focus on works either inspired by or created in New York.

It is our hope that young and new collectors will find inspiration in some of the works being offered for sale. Only in NEW YORK kids, only in NEW YORK!

Alex katz radical realist

Text David cohen | Photography Jason Schmidt

Alex katz, like fellow New Yorker Woody Allen, encapsulates our perception of a city that, in turn, has shaped him as an artist. And just as there is two-way traffic between Katz and New York, so Katz’s relationship with the New York School has been symbiotic. He has drawn on multiple aspects of high and popular culture as well as artists with strikingly different allegiances. Over time, he has become an avatar who cuts across generational and stylistic divides.

Katz is a realist within the traditional genres of landscape and portraiture. His approach, however, remains as radical as when, in the early 1960s, he achieved artworld acclaim with oversize, cool, flat, highly stylized portraits that caught the panache of the new decade. In another startling move, a figure could multiply within the same canvas, as in The Black Dress (1960) in which the artist’s chic young wife Ada (his constant top model) is lined up six times in varying poses. The bold delineations and solid fields of saturated color in classic Katz seemed like a fusion of advertising billboards and Coptic funerary portraits, as one commentator wryly observed. From the outset, Katz was acutely conscious of sartorial style and social posture in depictions of a close-knit circle of sitters – Ada, his young son, Vincent, his bohemian, downtown circle. There was none of the gloomy introversion of expressionist portraiture in either the painter’s delivery or the sitter’s demeanor. Instead, there was a suave optimism, depersonalized yet confident, pure New York.

Katz was born in Brooklyn in 1927 and raised in Queens, never losing the distinctive accent of the outer boroughs. He studied at the Cooper Union and at the Skowhegan School in Maine where since the mid-1950s he has spent his summers. While Maine locales provide his landscape motifs, a number of significant topographical subjects were observed in New York in other seasons. There are stark winter trees from 15

Central Park, for instance, sandwiching the closely cropped, pallid, red-lipped pedestrian in her purple beret in January III (1992). His nocturnes do for New York what Whistler’s did for London, capturing the oddly abstract sensation of auto and street lights on Sixth Avenue near his Soho loft as surely as Whistler did smog on the Thames. His acute urban sense of artifice in reality harvested an audaciously pared-down motif of office lights left blazing at night in Varick (1988). This twelve-foot wide canvas is seemingly all black save for the masterful stroke of white for the lit corner office. Despite its slickness, the image is imbued with Hopperesque poignancy.

His latest show, at PaceWildenstein earlier this year, featured Munch-like moonscapes in Washington Square.

But for Katz, New York is a place for people rather than landmarks. His aesthetic has always been richly nourished by singularly cosmopolitan sources. As a young man, jazz and cinema were his touchstones. From Antonioni movies he got the idea that a drastically cropped face is more immediately present and compelling than a composed portrait – an insight confirmed by Japanese prints which he studied very closely as a student.

He never lost his youthful fascination with ‘glamorous people’ (he once sold singer Lionel Hampton a hot dog at a black dance, he proudly recalls in his memoirs). He found Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Stan Getz to be ‘cool, all-over, technically brilliant, and lyrical,’ qualities that soon came to apply to his own painting. These smooth jazzmen were studiously anti-romantic: bebop was an upbeat, urbane refinement of the blues. In a similar way, Katz self-consciously distanced himself from the bombastic and mythic pretensions of the late followers of Abstract Expressionism who dominated the fifties scene.

The soft palette of his painting in the 1950s and the delicacy of his collages – his first works to gain peer recognition – were deliberately antimacho. When someone at a party told him that they thought because of his name and style that he was a girl, he replied that he was pleased that his feminine side came through. At the same time that he was finding his distance from the Ab Ex aesthetic, however, the young Katz was taken up by Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. Their energy, bravura and originality fuelled his own ambition. He was closer, in fact, to many abstract painters than to old-time realists, an anomaly he shared with Fairfield Porter, who was an early writer in support of Katz.

Almost more than painting, Katz found aesthetic affinities in current dance and poetry, which in the 1960s came to take the place that jazz had occupied in his formative years. Edwin Denby, the poet and dance writer and his friend Rudy Burckhardt were instrumental mentors.

When Katz first met Denby, the young painter introduced the dance writer to the latest moves 16

17

ÂŤWhen someone thought because of his name and style that he was a girl, katz was pleased his feminine side came throughÂť

18

at the Palladium. In turn, Denby set Katz up with the experimental dancer Paul Taylor, for whom Katz would design many sets and costumes.

Katz and Taylor hit it off with a common attitude towards style: Taylor responded enthusiastically to his theory about style being content and having no content. ‘Paul said, ‘Oh yes! Yes! That was the first thing I decided – to make art with no content, no expression, and most of all NO FORM.’ Whether he was influenced by the work of New York School poets like Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, James Schuyler and Kenneth Koch; jazzmen of the Fifties; dance people with whom he collaborated in the Sixties and Seventies; or the fashion world to which he has turned with increasing avidity, the twin attributes Katz has consistently discovered the twin attributes which define his own practice: detachment and technique. This has never amounted to remoteness or nonchalance: Katz’s aesthetic was rooted in Fifties cool rather than Sixties cold, to follow Robert Storr’s distinction. Sentiment and nostalgia have never been alien to his subject matter.

But his values are studiously (and provocatively) concerned with stylistic surfaces rather than psychological depths. his COOLNESS, HIS distance from Abstract Expressionism, and the billboard association, naturally had him confused for a while with Pop Art. When he completed his first serial screen painting, Andy Warhol is reputed to have said, ‘Gee, they look like Alex Katzs.’

Katz, meanwhile, keenly admired James Rosenquist’s billboard aesthetic for its complexity, scale and finesse. But Katz was markedly indifferent to mass culture: he was concerned with the kind of style generated by interesting people, like the disparate circle of writers, artists and personalities populating Cocktail Party (1965), depicting a gathering in his Flatiron loft, not the banality imposed on the masses by ad men.

Much as Katz was a realist who took more energy from abstraction than realism – the critic Irving Sandler coined the term ‘new perceptual realism’ to describe Katz’s and Philip Pearlstein’s idiom and stress their avant-garde credentials – so artists who have looked to Katz as an example have been abstract or conceptual as well as realist. In the 1960s, he began to visit the School of Art at Yale, where he had a significant impact on the generation which included Robert Mangold, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Chuck Close, Janet Fish and Rackstraw Downes.

Downes (a landscape painter who shows at Betty Cuningham Gallery and who recently received a 19

MacArthur Foundation ‘genius’ award) was making abstract paintings when he was at Yale. To these artists, Katz presented the possibility of working with representation while being firmly rooted in very contemporary concerns with scale, perception and vernacular language. The sculptor Joel Shapiro also came under Katz’s influence, as later did the painter Jennifer Bartlett. There is clearly an affinity between Shapiro’s willingness to inject playful figuration within a reductive, purist idiom, and Katz’s abstraction- within-representation.

There is no question, however, that Katz has also been a touchstone for artists who wanted to work from observation through years when artworld dogmatists were proclaiming that realist painting, or any kind of painting, was dead. In a way, though, Katz has maintained a foot in two camps: like his peers Neil Welliver, Red Grooms and the quirky painterly realist Lois Dodd, with whom he was close from his Cooper Union days, he has doggedly pursued his subject interests regardless of whether they are in fashion or not.

At the same time he has also sought out, and been sought out by, successive generations of hip young artists in New York (and increasingly, internationally too). They are as likely to work in photography and video – pace the Swiss Beat Streuli – as painting.

Katz himself has a ‘three year’ theory – a variant of Warhol’s fifteen minutes – in which an artist can be ‘up to date,’ after which he or she will be made to look oldfashioned. According to Katz, for instance, Picasso was put in the shade in 1913

by Léger and Gris. His own ‘bounce’ came in 1959–62, after which he saw himself as working against the grain. A rare exception to this harsh law of hipness was Matisse, who ‘hit a double’: as a Fauve, and then – in old age – with his cutouts.

Katz is clearly talking about actual stylistic breakthroughs in the work rather than status or reputation. Otherwise, his own second inning would be measured at three decades rather than years, for since the 1980s he has come to enjoy the position of a mature artist in the company of young spirits.

It was in the Eighties when his own 'comeback' began. Artists of the pictures generation, like David Salle, Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman, and neo-expressionists like Julian Schnabel, Eric Fischl and Francesco Clemente, heralded Katz as almost a Picabia in their midst.

Francis Picabia was the seeming joker of the prewar Paris avant-garde. In the Eighties, he came to be regarded as highly relevant in terms of ironic attitude and subject matter. Katz, of course,

did not relate directly to either Picabia or to the artists of the 1980s in any painterly specific: the connection arose through the simple fact of his belligerent and stylish transgression of formal or conceptual norms. If there is a closer affinity, it exists most obviously in the work of Cindy Sherman: her cinematic self-regard arguably taps the multi-personality style-consciousness of Katz’s self-portraits and the glazed, ethereal remoteness of his Ada paintings.

Into the Nineties, Katz's appeal persisted.

Elizabeth Peyton’s fey icons of celebrities and friends, while emotionally remote from Katz’s coolness in their penchant for the doomed and the elegiac, do share Katz’s declared and evident interest in nostalgia and sentiment. Peyton found her pictorial language through a fusion of David Hockney and Katz, tapping a melancholy often present in Katz’s early faces of Vincent. That Peyton alighted on Katz is indicative less of his hipness than of his passé status – making him safe for rediscovery. Some younger artists in Katz’s circle have made it into his paintings as sitters – Cecily Brown (whose father, the British critic David Sylvester, was a champion of Katz following his discovery by Charles Saatchi), Mariko Mori, Ena Swansea and Jessica CraigMartin. Craig-Martin’s photographs of Hamptons parties, while unKatzian in the extent to which they are judgmental and subjective, share the master’s understated astuteness.

Katz is important to artists well beyond New York. Peter Doig, the Canadian-ScottishCaribbean painter of emotionally charged symbolist landscapes, is an avowed fan. Merlin James, who shows small, quirky pictures steeped in a problematic nostalgia both for the old masters and for modernism at Sikkema Jenkins, is also a highly influential, polemical writer on art for whom Katz is almost the only vital, living link to the tradition that concerns him.

The reasons for Katz’s allure differ between generations and milieus, but three factors are constant. The first is that he fuses disparate strands (historic, aesthetic) without offering a compromise: abstract and figurative, traditional and hip, nuanced and schematic. The second is that, despite his high standing among artists, his respectable market and frequent museum shows, he is not, like Jasper Johns, so institutionally vaunted that emerging artists are unable to relate to him. He is still in their orbit. And last but not least, is that he remains an artist staggeringly at the top of his game. Always within his own idiom, he is constantly moving into new territory.

Unmistakable yet always changing? That sounds like New York. n David Cohen is editor and publisher of artcritical. com. He is also gallery director at the New York Studio School and former contributing editor at The New York Sun. 20

An ex-patriate in Paris in the 1920s, she worked for Man Ray before setting up her own portrait studio. Man Ray introduced her to Atget, whom she greatly admired; she had been the only photographer to make portraits of him. Abbott purchased Atget’s entire archive when he died in 1927 and moved back to New York in 1929. Enthralled by the city’s vibrancy and rapid growth, she began a systematic documentation of the towering new constructions, the old buildings, the streets, shops and houses.

Abbott chronicled New York in the same way Atget had chronicled Paris, although the straightforward approach each of them brought to their documentation registers differently in the two bodies of work. Atget’s pictures of the architecture and parks of the ancien régime are poetic and as elegant as his subject matter; Abbott’s pictures of New York are filled with the geometry of the big city, all sharp angles and stark contrasts, exploding with new urban energy.

‘New York is nothing like Paris; it is nothing like London; and it is not Spokane multiplied by sixty, or Detroit multiplied by four,’ E B White wrote in his essay, ‘This Is New York,’ published in 1949. ‘It is by all odds the l oftiest of cities... Manhattan has been compelled to expand skyward because of the absence of any other direction in which to grow. This, more than any other thing, is responsible for its physical majesty. It is to the nation what the white church spire is to the village – the visible symbol of aspiration and faith, the white plume saying that the way is up.’

Two cities may lay claim to the birth of photography – London and Paris – but throughout the Twentieth Century the world of New York was clearly photography’s oyster. Certainly, London has the Royal Photographic Society, dating from 1853, and Paris might boast an earlier record of photographic documentation, but it was in New York that the medium of photography would come into its own and garner credibility as an equal among the arts. No surprise, then, that New York has been the subject of – and the backdrop for – so much significant photographic imagery.

In the early 1900s, Edward Steichen and Alfred Stieglitz formed the 291 Gallery on Fifth Avenue, initially to exhibit works of pictorial photography.

The two photographers were instrumental in positioning the medium as an artform. Eventually they presented photographs at the gallery alongside painting and sculpture – notably the work of Matisse, Picasso, Cezanne and Brancusi, amongst others.

The Flatiron (1904) by Steichen, a picture of one of the first skyscrapers in New York, was made only steps from the 291 Gallery. This beautiful study in amber, black and gray is emblematic of Pictorialism, a movement in which photographic imagery drifted from the optical clarity of its origins towards a more painterly and dream-like resolution. Steichen and Stieglitz both made pictures of the streets of New York that serve as records of the era and evoke the society of old New York described in the stories of Edith Wharton.

Stieglitz once recounted his own experience while photographing the Flatiron Building: ‘It looked, from where I stood, as though it were moving toward me like the bow of a monster ocean steamer – a picture of the new America that was still in the making... Later, when I saw the Flatiron Building again, after many years of having seen other tall buildings in New York City shooting into the sky – the Woolworth building and then still others – it did seem rather ugly and unattractive. There was a certain gloom about it.’

Berenice Abbott was one of the early visual chroniclers of New York.

For most of the last century, New York was not only the art capital of the world but the media capital as well. The Museum of Modern Art would become the great institutional champion of the medium of photography as an artform, beginning with Beaumont Newhall, the museum’s first director of photography, in 1940; Edward Steichen, its second director; and John Szarkowski, the museum’s third director and perhaps photography’s most 22

circa 1937, shows a not very well-to-do couple lifted into the music, at least for a moment, at the Savoy Ballroom.

One of the most enduring pictures of New York is VJ Day in Times Square, August 14th, 1945, by Alfred Eisenstaedt. He was a Life magazine photographer who had immigrated to the United States from Germany as the Nazis rose to power. Eisenstaedt’s picture captures the buoyant mood in the streets of New York on the day World War II ended. The sailor kissed the nurse in the center of an international crossroads, and became in Eisenstaedt’s picture a symbol of peace (and love), as well as an emblem of New York’s Times Square.

eloquent – and effective – advocate. At the same time, magazines, newspapers, the advertising industry and the television networks formed a media center to which photographers flocked for employment and recognition. So many photographers lived and worked in New York City that it would become a subject of exploration and observation integral to the medium.

Arthur Fellig, a photojournalist who acquired the name Weegee as a phonetic reference to the ‘Ouija’ board, was known to appear, as if with mystical powers, at crime scenes in advance of the police. The truth was that Weegee monitored his own police radio to be able to get exclusive pictures to sell to news publications. He was predisposed to photographing the underbelly of New York – murders, fires and the seedier side of nightlife.

The glare of his flash seemed to underscore in stark black and white the film noir drama of these events. At the same time, he rendered the existential condition of his subjects in photographic terms, and that’s what elevates his work to something beyond the work-a-day news picture. The Critic (1943), among his most famous images, shows the disparity of rich and poor in New York as two patrons of the Metropolitan Opera ignore a woman begging for change.

The residents of New York implicitly understand the distinctions among the city’s varied neighborhoods. Midtown is a professional center while Downtown is not only a geographical location but a state of mind at odds with convention. In the early part of theTwentieth Century, Harlem was a vibrant cultural center. Today we marvel at its musical legacy of clubs and theaters – The Apollo, the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom – in which Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Duke Ellington launched their careers. Aaron Siskind’s Harlem Document is a rigorous Depressionera chronicle of that neighborhood. Siskind wanted to produce a body of photographs that would effect social change. His picture, Savoy Dancers,

Black-and-white street photography began to define photographic art-making in the mid-1950s, perhaps as a result of Helen Levitt’s photographs of New York taken in the previous decade. In contrast to the public – or epic – display of celebration in the Eisenstaedt image, Helen Levitt photographed the residential streets of the city with an intimacy of observation and a tangible affection for the true, unsuspecting moment.

Her pictures of children playing on stoops, making chalk drawings on the pavement, wearing masks, and looking out of apartment windows render the urban jungle as a lyrical, if somewhat hardscrabble, playground. She is the folk artist of 1940s New York photography, capturing with innocence and unexpected delicacy the city as it was inhabited by ordinary people.

New York, 1939, her picture of trick-or-treaters on Halloween, was included in the Museum of Modern Art’s inaugural show of photographs in 1940.

The 1950s proved a fertile decade for New York City photographers, not least because of the publication of Robert Frank's The Americans. Frank, who lived in New York and knew the Abstract Expressionist artists and Beat Generation poets, was influenced by their improvisational approach to art- making, as were other young photographers, from Louis Faurer to Lee 25

New York Nights, Studio 54, 1978, Tod Papageorge

Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. They recognized early on that photography was important and their evolving collections helped increase interest in the medium and raised the value of the photographic print.

New York is reflected in imagery made not only on the streets but in the professional studio and in private apartments. Richard Avedon’s tour de force, the life-size group studio portrait of the members of Andy Warhol’s Factory, was first shown at Marlborough Gallery in 1975. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, Nan Goldin’s chronicle of friends and acquaintances in the clubs and bars and apartments of New York’s East Village, has been shown in many incarnations, from early slide shows projected at the Mudd Club in the late 1970s to the Whitney Museum in 1988. Within these works, the photographic image conjures up New York not by representing the physical streets of the city but by identifying unique sensibilities that have come to define the composition of art and culture on the island of Manhattan.

Glamour is among the qualities that defines New York City, from the exquisite skyline to the brightly lit marquees of Broadway, swanky restaurants and soigné parties all over town. Studio 54 was a club unparalleled in the city’s history for its winning combination of international celebrities, stylish women, beautiful gay men, throbbing disco music, drug-fuelled exuberance, and outré exclusivity.

Many photographers documented the nocturnal splendor of the club, but Todd Papageorge’s lovely photograph of a group of well-turned out revelers intertwined on the floor in a post-party pile of intimate exhaustion, one reaching up to touch a floating balloon, is a poetic coda to the end of an era in New York City. By that I mean New York photographed in black and white. In the 1980s, color photography began to define modern photographic practice. And New York photographed in color just doesn’t look the same. n

Friedlander, William Klein, Saul Leiter and Garry Winogrand. Theirs was a much smaller community of peers, then, and each one of these photographers attempted to capture their own authentic experience of life as it transpired in the streets of New York City. Playland Cadillac, Times Square, 1956, by Frank Paulin, typifies the street photography of the period.

Paulin often photographed around Times Square because of the rich visual backdrop of advertisements, neon signs, shop window reflections, and the bustle of people on the street. He captured the contrast of high and low in his picture of a black Cadillac, the ultimate symbol of power, glamour, and optimism in mid-century America, parked on the street it stands in stark counterpoint to the mundane surroundings of Broadway during the day.

Bruce Davidson was 24 in 1959 when he made his first body of work about a teenage street gang in Brooklyn. The pictures resonate with urban restlessness and the sexual charge of adolescent longing. He would go on to document other aspects of New York City over the years, notably in his series on the subway and Central Park. His chronicle of East 100th Street, which recalls the Harlem Document, was exhibited in a one-man show at The Museum of Modern Art in 1970.

Provocative exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, from New Documents (1967) to Diane Arbus (1972) to William Eggleston’s Guide (1976) set the stage for the art world’s growing acknowledgment of photography, and, in the 1970s, the marketplace for photography was born in New York.

Several New York galleries opened with the intention of showing photographs exclusively, in particular Light Gallery and Witkin Gallery.

At the same time, a group of New York collectors, including, most prominently, Sam Wagstaff, began to attend the few photography auctions that took place at the time in London; they scoured the antique bookshops of London and Paris to buy albums of British and French photographers, such as Gustave Le Grey, Julia Margaret Cameron, William Henry Fox Talbot, and

Her art-laden apartment on the Upper East Side is often opened to artists and people in the arts.

Choosing who to showcase in New York City was a no-brainer. Agnes Gund is without doubt one of the great art collectors in a city full of collectors. She lives surrounded by art and two lively wheaten terriers, Giotto and Tina.

She tells me that she used to live with cats but now has replaced them with her dogs.

Walking into the house, it is clear that they are beloved members of the family – beside their bed stands a large, installation-like pile of doggie toys. On the other side of the hallway is a rather more severe installation – a pure white marble piece surrounded by loose grains of rice

by Wolfgang Laib – and on the work a piece by Teresita Fernández. Looking around the beautiful apartment, with its distinctive mix of iconic artworks – paintings and drawings as well as unusual sculptures – I might assume a gifted curator was behind the scenes here. But when longtime friend and gallerist Angela Westwater asked Aggie’s assistant whose idea it was to juxtapose those artworks, she responded it was Aggie herself who devised the installation.

I sit in a small room waiting for Aggie to emerge at 9.30am, perfectly coiffed and dressed in a deep red dress with a very modern piece of simple jewelry. She is every inch the uptown lady but with a twist, in the form of her very beautiful but über-contemporary necklace. I am being investigated myself by a lively Giotto; I point out to Aggie that John Baldessari also has a dog

Agnes Gund grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, the second of six children. Her father made a fortune in banking; her mother died when Agnes was just 14. Agnes, called Aggie by all who know her, studied history for her BA at Connecticut College. Later, having become an enthusiastic art collector after her father's death in 1966, she returned to her studies. She took her masters in History of Art at Harvard University in the 1970s, while she was living in Concord Massachusetts with her first husband, Albrecht Saalfield and their four children.

It was during her second marriage – to lawyer Daniel Shapiro, from whom she is now estranged – that Gund moved to New York. In 1976, she joined MoMA as a trustee. From 1991 to 2002, she served as president, using that period to champion the construction of the new building

by Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi, of which she is a fierce advocate. Today she remains as president emerita of MoMA and heads the MoMA board for PS1 Contemporary Art Center, as well as serving on the boards of a number of prestigious institutions, including the Frick Collection, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies and the Socrates Sculpture Park.

In 1977, she founded her own charity, ‘Studio in a School,’ in which approximately 30,000 children participate annually. Inspired by cuts in art teaching in the public school system, it is a cause for which she continues to raise funds, and in which she remains an active participant.

called Giotto, and she says she knew someone did but not who.

I ask about the lively, colorful ceramic pieces on the small table in front of us. They are by an Italian artist, Claudia De Monte, for whom Aggie recently hosted a book launch at the apartment. She also contributed the preface of Claudia's book, something beyond the normal commitment to an artist. She goes to give me a copy of the book, saying, ‘I like her work. She was doing these ceramics but now she is doing more bronzes like this one, which she gave me as a gift for doing the preface. I gave it to my daughter as a present. She has been working out a lot recently and lost some weight.’ I laugh and say she could use it in her exercises, curling with a bronze, and we laugh together. It is not a rude comment. Looking through the book later, I see that De Monte is a political artist, enmeshed in feminism and woman helping themselves.

She agrees that ‘woman artists do have it tough. They don’t get paid so well – their work is not so well regarded.’ She mentions that she had recently helped get a Beatriz Milhazes into MoMA. I ask why Milhazes’ work has not become more collected? She sighs. ‘Perhaps because she is a woman and makes beautiful work, something that has not been fashionable recently.’

As well as the feast of artworks there is abundant evidence of Aggie’s love for her family.

A series of framed portraits sits close beside me and there is frequent talk of her grandchildren.

When I show her the recent Phillips de Pury & Company LATIN AMERICA catalogue, she looks thoughtfully at the lots, stopping at a Campana Brothers chair. ‘We had a [Campana Brothers] chair, but it was not the Mickey Mouse one like this but one with doggies on it. It used to play that song' – she hums ‘How much is that doggie

«I want to make sure PS1 is not just used as a closet to show things we don’t have room for in town. It has a different function.

It doesn’t need to plan years in advance like the mother ship» 31

in the window’ – ‘We still have it, but it doesn’t play that tune anymore. It drove me crazy, but the children loved it!’

Aggie takes me into a nearby room to show me a Vik Muniz picture in chocolate which she commissioned of her grandchildren. She recalls how she first came across a Muniz work, when someone had sent her a portfolio. In those days, she had a place under her bed where she stored things to keep them out of the way. She laughs.

‘The person kept phoning me to ask if I had looked at it and reiterating that this person is going to be a great artist. I would say, “I will look.”

Eventually I dug it out and chose one, it was of tennis shoes tied together. And now he is indeed a great and successful artist.’

Aggie is still very much involved with MoMA. She became the head of the board for PS1 because she was determined to keep it in the style of its founder and long-term director Alanna Heiss as a separate institution not just an adjunct from MoMA. Aggie was instrumental in the recent appointment of Klaus Biesenbach, a long-term curator there, and someone who had worked closely with Heiss for many years. ‘I want to make sure it is not just used as a closet to show things we don’t have room for in town.

It has a different function… It can do shows with a few months’ notice. It doesn’t need to plan years in advance like the mother ship. ’The atmosphere is completely different at PS1, she says. ‘I was in the toilet there the other day.

It still looks like a school and that will never change. They have other things to correct – the humidity and the air conditioning – but the toilets will remain.’

She is also currently involved with the Barnes Foundation and its rebuild. I ask why she likes this museum so much and she says that, like the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, the Phillips in Washington and the Frick in New York, the Barnes is a museum as much about the collector as the work collected. She is pleased that the architects are respecting the current house but making iconic works like Matisse’s Dance accessible to all.

The hallway running through the apartment is lined with drawings. I spy an instantly recognizable drawing of a coffee can by Jasper Johns near to a Roy Lichtenstein and a flower drawing by Ellsworth Kelly. ‘He is a favorite of mine,’ she says, looking at the black-andwhite drawing of statuesque irises. ‘He is a gorgeous person.’

I stand before a series of Vija Celmins black-and-white waves and some intricate,

«I bought an early hofmann from Bill Rubin who later tried to buy it back. I said ‘No WaY, Bill!’» almost obsessive-compulsive, black-and-white drawings. Aggie identifies them as works by Bruce Conner and says they ‘count among [her] favorites.’ Off the hall is a room dominated by black-and-white photography, which contains many photographs by William Wegman, ‘another friend.’ There is a black-and-white photograph of a young Johns. I ask who took the photograph and she says, ‘Oh, that is by Bob Rauschenberg.’

The neutral color scheme of the stunning living room is lifted by the sparkling color of the paintings. ‘I don’t actually own many of these paintings, they are all gifts to different organizations.’ Many of them will be going to her hometown of Cleveland, as well as to MoMA. ‘I wanted to make sure they would go to places that would show them, not just put them in a cupboard. When I was in Cleveland they had no contemporary works at all.’ The Johns flashlight work is going to MoMA – ‘They don’t have any sculptures by Johns!’

She points to a stunning early Johns map.

‘I bought Johns when no one else was buying him and Castelli would always give me the pick of anything. He and Johns knew that I would never sell the work.’

Johns is one of the living artists with whom Aggie has established a long-term relationship.

They have sat on committees together and when later we walk into a smaller room, she points at a work that she tells me Johns himself helped her to re-stretch when it became loose, something he has never done before. ‘That is again because he knows I will never sell his work. ’ This friendship she says is important to her, based as it is on an acknowledgement of her unswerving loyalty to the work. ‘I could have sold that work for a lot of money which would have come in useful to give to other causes.’

Looking around us, she points to a nearby marble group by Louise Bourgeois. She still sees Louise, she tells me, who continues to work.

I hear later that it is her determination that MoMA shows women fairly that led to her questioning the fact that Bourgeois was not on show at the time and led to their installing a work.

Aggie says she visited her recently in the studio.

She admits to limiting her visits now because Louise always gives her presents and she feels guilty about this. She goes and retrieves the recent Tate Gallery catalogue, showing me the illustration of the totem piece which is nearby in the hall. Leafing through the catalogue, she shows me a plate of the hanging work, Janus, and says, ‘Louise gave us a plaster cast of this work as a wedding present.’

Aggie remembers when she was last in the studio, there was a photographer shooting Louise. Undeterred, Louise continued making amazing drawings in red ink to give people for Christmas presents. ‘They are enormously beautiful, bold and full of life.’ She says she can still be devilish. ‘We went to lunch there a while ago. The first course was grilled leeks – delicious. I wondered what we would be having for the second course. In came Jerry with this plate with a huge tongue which he put on the table. Louise picked up this large barbeque fork and wham! This was all done with an impish smile.’

I am constantly being caught off guard by works I feel I should know. Together we look at a James Rosenquist in the living room. It is an edgy piece, one that she says she had not had displayed before. To me looks a lot like a Warhol.

Westwater told me that the newly hung Rosenquist canvas had also really struck her – it was so fresh and contemporary and unexpected, a revelation about the artist. When later I asked Westwater what made Aggie special as a collector, she said, ‘Aggie is someone who really pays attention. She feels intuitively for the work and has the imagination and experience to understand just the right context. It is her passion and her eye which fuel her brain.’

Among the 1,400 odd works in the collection many are by household names, but there are some surprises, too. I try and place the installation in the hallway, only to discover it is the work of a young woman, Teresita Fernandez – whose work I see later installed in Lehmann Maupin gallery. There is a stunning, brightly colored painting, contemporary looking in its 32

boldness, that I feel I ought to recognise. When I ask, Aggie says it is an early Hofmann – pre the 1960s slab works so familiar. ‘I brought it from Bill Rubin who later tried to buy it back.

She laughs. ‘I said “No way, Bill!”’

There are lots of women in the collection, not only Bourgeois but also Lynda Benglis, represented by a large wall installation recently hung in the dining room near to the iconic Roy Lichtenstein with its eerily appropriate text, ‘Why Brad darling – this painting is a masterpiece! My, soon you’ll have all of New York clamoring for your work.’ Close by is a beautiful Sigmar Polke, while the ceiling has a fresco by the young British artist Richard Wright.

Aggie tells me that this recently had to be redone. ‘We were changing the lighting and had to restore the ceiling. I asked if he would consider reinstalling it and he very kindly came and did it again.’ Is it the same? I ask. She looks at it carefully before saying, ‘No, not quite. The ring is more brown and less gold then it was. The two purple rays are a bit longer and that line comes out.’ Anyone who thinks that collectors don’t look at their work should hear this recitation.

I ask about her work with another great collector, the late Vera List with whom she sat on several committees. She recalls that Vera would call the meetings for Sunday morning. ‘Sunday morning used to mean church for me, but we would be having these meetings about Connecticut. People would be coming and trying to get their friends, who made works of ballerinas twirling, appointed and Vera would say no. I also liked working with Tom Hess: it is a shame that he died without seeing more of what he wanted to achieve with the Met.’ She swallows quietly. ‘I liked Vera and what she did with the loans for students. It was important. She did it at Harvard and Brown and again at the New School. I think that without her the collection would just have been sold, which would have been so sad. I liked Vera so much. I loved the Christo tree on the lawn.’

Her own much-loved Studio in the Schools program remains high on her list of priorities and she is off to see Chuck Close, another artist whom she has encouraged MoMA to collect.

She is getting artists to make works to sell for her studio program, which like all charities has been hit by hard times. ‘I have got a great print by Brice Marden already,’ she says happily.

She rushes off, remembering all the chores she has to do. She leaves behind her space that contains all the components which support her ideas that art and beauty don’t need to lead separate lives. n

new lines on the horizon text LouisA wright

Never has a skyline been more iconic, more revered, than that of New York. Distinctive architecture is a feature of the great city. Given that New York is famous for galleries showing the most contemporary and cutting-edge art, it seems right that architects should turn their hands to transforming such spaces. Pictured are galleries and museums that have had recent architectural makeovers to keep pace with the ever-changing horizon.

the natural light with large sections of glass

THE NEW SPERONE Westwater gallery on the Bowery, designed by Norman Foster, is due to open next year. It is a notably narrow plot, one that forces the building upwards out of the former ‘skid row.’ One of Foster’s solutions to the problem of space was to include a lift that would not only transport visitors around the museum, but that would act as an additional exhibition space. The elevator can fit up to 240 people at any time, a unique architectural innovation to deal with the crowded streets of New York.

Like the dark gray brick exterior and industrial skylight of the new Gladstone Gallery and the surrounding warehouses, the architects respond to the surroundings of the city while enhancing the space for viewing art.

Also on the Bowery, the New Museum rises from the street like a pile of ice-cubes. The museum was designed by Tokyo-based architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA, who used the white boxes as a way to deal with the slimness of the plot. It is interesting that these two contemporary buildings have landed on the Bowery, thrusting skywards their soaring rooftops.

At Columbus Circle, the Museum of Arts and Design has been designed by Allied Works Architecture with a focus on bringing views and natural light into the space. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the new restaurant, Robert, that opened in November. Curated by Dr. Brian Salzman, the restaurant was conceived as a collection of contemporary art and design, such as a new piece of video art by Jennifer Steinkamp.

The sculptural furniture includes a fifteen foot steel communal table bisected by a six foot high 'sound wave' designed by London based architect Philip Michael Wolfson. And, as if the art and design weren't enough, the restaurant boasts spectacular views over Manhattan and where visitors dine at eye-level with the Christopher Columbus statue.

In Southampton, (or NYC-by-sea), Herzog & de Meuron are designing the new Parrish Art Museum. In striking contrast to the boldness of the architects’ Tate Modern, the new Parrish will be in keeping with the landscape and the northern light, a restrained white building nestled into the grass. Simple and accommodating (the design includes a wrap-around porch for visitors to take in the landscape, and over 12,000 feet of uninterrupted galleries), the museum rests within the horizon, differing enormously from the high-rises of the city.

These architects are not only transforming exhibition spaces, but are turning the city and its skyline into a contemporary work of art n.

gigi gaston thE BlaCk floWEr opEns up INTERVIEW KAREN WRIGHT | ARTWORK JOSH GOSFIELD

Gigi Gaston was born in Bulgaria in 1943. Her mother was shot dead while Gigi was still a child, leaving her an orphan.

At an early age, Gigi moved to Paris and rocketed to fame as a pop-star. In 1964, on his way to her concert at the Olympia, Paris, Gigi’s lover died. She married Giorgio Fortuna in 1967, and later killed him in a ‘crime of passion.’

She has been in hiding since.

I was told that questions could be submitted to Gigi through a chain of go-betweens, but there was no guarantee that I would ever receive a reply.

The lines of connection – who passed on my questions to whom – were never revealed to me, but to my surprise, after about a week a meticulous, hand-written sheet of paper was delivered to me. It ended simply: ‘I haven’t thought about these things for a long time, so I hope this will be as helpful to you as it was to me. Regards, G.’

KW Do you feel bitterness towards the newspapers and photographers who followed your ups and downs?

GG I am too old for bitterness.

KAREN WRIGHT What initially made you run from the press? Did you feel in the same way that you did when your lover was killed in the tragic accident on the way to seeing you perform?

GIGI GASTON If you hide out from the world for so long that no one cares about you anymore, the press will leave you alone.

KW Would you ever consider staging a comeback?

GG My music exists in the past. I would not embarrass myself or my fans that way.

KW How has your son helped you and been affected by the tragic events that led you to withdraw?

GG I gave my son life, but now he is the only reason that I am still alive.

KW How do you fill your time now?

GG Time is not a bucket to be filled. The elementary tasks of living are perfectly timed to the hours of the day.

KW Your whole life has been filled with tragic incidents mixed with lucky accidents – do you think this helped to make you a better artist?

GG In my life as an artist I was never concerned with being ‘better’ because there were figures such as Picasso and Piaf who would always be ‘better’ than me. I was never anything more than a girl with a guitar.

KW What have you learned from the whole experience about fame and its vicissitudes?

GG Achieving fame at an early age is like piloting a plane blindfolded: you are incapable of making rational decisions and will almost certainly cause great damage to yourself and others.

KW The family who befriended you were of very different circumstances – was this difficult for you?

GG Any middle class difficulties that existed in the Gaston home were dwarfed by the fact that they had saved me from a life of miserable drudgery and abuse behind the stone walls of an orphanage.

KW Do you think it would all be different now?

GG It doesn’t matter. I sit here by the window that overlooks the sea and it is as if my past is swept out by the tides every day.

KW Do you think that your looks and those of your husband made you more famous and accessible as artists?

GG Other people might have seen something different in me but I used to hate my nose with a passion, and I wrote a song called ‘I am a Mirror’ in which I sang, ‘Please take this look from my face.’

KW Are you prepared to say where you are now?

GG I am sitting here at my table writing as the sun goes down.

KW Do you still make music?

GG I never made music – music made me.

ÂŤEvEryonE sEEms to go looking for somE kind of famE

the well-respected critic from Rolling Stone, as well as various actors playing Gigi’s son and the slightly crazy-looking private investigator. ‘I was doing the documentary in the style of Ken Burns, trying to show how crazy the whole situation was. It was in creating the images for the video that the story evolved further. It soon became clear that Giorgio who was initially meant to be based on London photographer David Bailey, the inspiration for the David Hemmings character in Blowup, was simply too good-looking to be a photographer. I saw instead that he must be an actor, and a cad as well, as anyone that good looking must be a cad.’

Josh says that the idea was a way of investigating how the media has a life of its own. He says we owe the place we are in to Andy Warhol who, by co-opting the Brillo box, took an opportunity away from the artist forever.

It is indeed a Warhol construct, a nod towards the artist who convinced the public that people’s lives made good stories, and in his co-option of real people like Edie Sedgwick, persuaded generations of gallery-goers that it was all right to watch people self-destruct in front of our eyes.

When I point this out to Josh, he says this was going on long before Warhol. He points to the story of Buffalo Bill Cody, who was said to be the most famous person on the entire planet. Nowadays he is the kind of character who would appear on both Facebook and YouTube. Josh is, he says, ‘like Warhol, tapping into the gestalt of celebrity – the history of celebrity including film material. It is not a new thing.’

Josh says that what attracted him to Gigi was the question of what keeps a celebrity in the public eye. That dynamic is a certain something that is out of synergy with the media. He admits cheerfully that he drew up such a dark history because ‘I am interested in the train wreck. For instance, we admire Courtney Love more for the train wreck of her life than for the music.’ The project ‘is part of an exploration of fame,’ Josh tells me.

‘Everyone seems to go looking for some kind of fame and they end up hating fame.

Or at least, the part of fame which leads to the reporting of your life the way you don’t want to be reported.’

Josh tells me that the research was as meticulous as it needed to be. He points to the images in which Giorgio and Gigi are portrayed proudly showing off their newborn son. ‘I needed to collect many Josh Gosfield at work on his different variations of the covers of these next creation, Fathom Butterfly magazines. I wanted to make something that was convincingly right for ici Paris.

It had to look right, as if it was meant to be there.’ He quickly learned that there was a particular way that young families are portrayed as they display their newborn. He beams. ‘It’s as if they are all styled by the same stylist.’

Josh himself started not as a designer but as a painter. He showed with Bridgewater in New York and with La Luz de Jesus in Los Angeles, but he was 'not that active in the artworld.’ After leaving New York Magazine years ago, he became a producer designer for music videos and did covers for New Yorker magazine. It seems as if Gigi has given Josh a new lease of life. He tells me he will let me have a sneak peak on the new character, based in London. ‘Fathom Butterfly’ will be based on ‘Julie Christie with soul, loosely,' – very loosely from the sound of it – 'modeled on Madonna, a girl from the working class willing to do anything she needs to do to get to the top.’ He has already started shooting with his model, Petra Hanson who he says is more outrageous than the images of Gigi. Is it a coincidence that the next character will also be female, I ask? No, says Josh. ‘Women are more appealing and they make more beautiful pictures.’

Before I finish talking to Josh, I admit to my own part in one of the most notorious art farces – Nat Tate, by British writer William Boyd. I conspired with William to construct a character from photographs that he had found in a flea market. We launched the book with a reading by David Bowie at a party in Jeff Koons’ studio in 1998. I tell Josh that after creating the character, I had become totally convinced of his existence, to the point of scanning book indexes, outraged when he did not appear. Josh emails me later to ask how I had got our Wikipedia page up and running.

I say to him firmly, you have to let Gigi go and fend for herself, BASTA! n

I hope by now you have been completely captivated by the tragic life and times of Gigi and will not be too annoyed to discover that, far from being real, ‘Gigi’ is a totally fictional construct from the inventive mind of Josh Gosfield. Gosfield's conceit was not intended to be harmful or deceptive, but was a quest to create something so credible that people would immediately accept her as real.

Josh is a long-time New Yorker, having been the Art Director of New York Magazine for ten years before turning his attention to specific projects based on his knowledge and skill as a graphic director. Gigi is the result of a year-long gestation period which culminated in his recent show at the Steven Kasher gallery in Chelsea. As a casual observer during the opening week, I realized immediately that most viewers accepted Gigi as a real, if forgotten persona, a tribute to the care and attention to detail with which Josh had invested the project.

When I meet the pixie-like Josh shortly after the opening of his show, he tells me that the character of Gigi evolved gradually over a period of time.

He was with his family walking near Joshua Tree, California, when he became interested not in the infamous trees that give the spot its name, but in the bulbous rock formations. He quickly saw the possibility of posing a rock group there, in his mind’s eye a psychedelic folk group from the 1960s garbed in bright costumes, one member on each rock. He would shoot it and this would be the first in a series of imaginary rock covers.

He hired a model but when he went to shoot her, he realized that her face was not right for a pop picture. Her face had too dark a cast. In his quest to place her in the right context, he started what he now cheerfully admits was obsessive research, gathering materials, memorabilia and the ephemera of the period, much of it found on eBay. Josh admits that the persona arose from the model he had selected.

He needed to create a character in whom people would believe, so he chose the Yay Yay music popular in the 1960s across Europe (each country had its own proponent, notably Dusty Springfield in England and Sylvie Vartan and Françoise Hardy in France). It was universally popular but also instantly

and they end up hating fame» forgettable, Josh says happily. He set about giving his Gigi character a life story, with enough incident to attract media attention. There are three cycles, he explains. First, her tragic childhood, witnessing her mother’s death as a result of a politically motivated murder; her subsequent adoption into a wealthy family; her early discovery of her talent and her first success; the tragic death of her first lover on his way to her concert, followed by a long period of mourning. Second was her love affair with the notorious philanderer Giorgio Fortuna, her marriage and motherhood. Last came the murder and her self-imposed exile.

It is exhausting just to recount. I ask Josh if he was tempted to bring Gigi out of exile for one last concert. He laughs and says, ‘Yes indeed, the idea was for another comeback, but quite frankly I was just exhausted – and I had run out of time. I had also run out of steam and thought enough was enough. Besides, I had moved on to the next character. I want to do one of these per year for the rest of my life.’

Steven Kasher had heard about Josh’s work and came to the studio.

It was the perfect match, says Josh. Kasher had just moved into his new ground-floor space, and Josh fitted into his stable of archival and documentary photographers. Kasher also recognised the authenticity that Josh had managed to capture in his meticulous recreation of the chanteuse’s brief career. That authenticity is not, however, all that it seems.

It is ironic, Josh tells me, that he could only do the work digitally, as this was the means which allowed him to achieve the pre-digital look – the work looks off register and pixilated in parts, the result of careful computer manipulation. Josh says, ‘The work had to be well constructed – good enough to give people an entry point. It turns it from being a loose joke into being something credible that can be entered into.’ Not content with simply exploiting his graphic expertise in his quest for the life of Gigi, Josh also turned to video and music. He enjoyed making her video in the style of Godard and also the documentary, which, he tells me, included a cast of both real and imaginary characters. These include Anthony DeCurtis, 41

ERWIN WURM IS NOT FAT! The Guggenheim is round even without his help.

He is probably the only straight white male artist that can get away with making a funny sculpture using a broomstick and a buttocks (yes you are picturing it correctly – ‘look Ma no hands!’)

Erwin’s performance-photography-actionisms are fast, immediate and thankfully esoteric.

He is Austrian and through osmosis (no fault of his own) grew up with Vienna Actionism as the official national art history.

Rather than revisiting the impossible extremes of Rudolf Schwarzkogler (please google – I’d rather not explain).

Vienna Actionism is serious stuff.

Erwin is not serious – in a good way – No blood no flesh no angst no pain... as they say in 21st century Vienna ‘Pformalism ein Schmormalism.’

Or have a friend model a GAP box top.

I don’t know if he watches any reality shows or corny game shows (I remember being in Germany around 1990 and the premise of the show I was watching was a girl had to identify her classmates by their belly buttons (I don’t speak German but it transcended any language barrier)).

The Guggenheim Museum, Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece of visionary architecture, opened fifty years ago. The architect wanted ‘to make the building and the painting a beautiful symphony such as never existed in the world of Art before.’

Elephant dung and Technicolor brighten up January in Chris Ofili at the Tate (January 27 – May 16, 2010). Ofili recently moved from London to Trinidad, giving new inspiration to his work; from landscape to mythology.

This December in an anniversary show, a series of exhibitions, celebrates the museum’s constant dialogue with groundbreaking art in 75 Years of Looking Forward (December 19, 2009 – January 16, 2011). Not only is the show a collection of great art from the Twentieth Century, but it explores the story of the museum’s development through artists, curators and collectors.

See in the New Year with The Real Van Gogh: The Artist and His Letters at the Royal Academy (January 23 – April 18, 2010). The exhibition takes the artist’s letters as its focus, and includes drawings and paintings written about in the correspondence. The show will be a unique chance to read letters between the great painter and others, such as Gauguin, alongside some of his most iconic images.

Woodstock 1969. I took this picture Friday evening around seven thirty. I had just turned nineteen. It was the only picture I took that weekend. I had gone to Woodstock with only one exposure in my camera. I thought I could buy film in the nearest town. Not knowing what I was getting into, I thought I could get out of it. You know, “come and go.” Coming was hard enough (it took six hours to travel the last twenty miles) and “leaving” was impossible.

Anyway, realizing I was there to stay, I decided not to save my only exposure but rather get rid of it as fast as I could. So I just stood up, whirled around and (click) took it.

Signed, dated by the artist, titled, dated, annotated ‘printed 1960s’ in an unidentified hand in pencil and Museum of Modern Art label on the reverse of the mount. provenance From the Collection of Joanna Steichen; to the present Private Collection literature Doubleday, A Life in Photography: Edward Steichen, pl. 313; Photo Poche, Edward Steichen, pl. 55; Steichen, Steichen’s Legacy: Photographs, 1895-1973, pl. 198

Estimate $ 5 0 , 0 0 0 -7 0 , 0 0 0 As skyscrapers began blossoming around New York City in the early decades of the 20th century, their novelty was likewise increasing, and demand for editorials featuring architectural photography grew in tandem. It is not surprising, therefore, that Vanity Fair commissioned Edward Steichen to photograph the Empire State Building in 1932, at the time the tallest building in the world.

Further distinguishing the photograph is a label from MoMA’s “Art Lending Service”, affixed to the verso. The service, which began in 1951 and lasted for three decades, was initiated by the Museum’s Junior Council as a means of encouraging art collecting by members of the public. The works, whether consigned by galleries or picked by the museum’s roster of curators, were available for renting for up to three months, after which individuals had the option of returning the works to the museum or purchasing them.

Each work was of the highest caliber, and popularity of the service, fittingly, was high.

The Maypole, originally from the collection of Joanna Steichen, was surely among the most popular photographs to have passed through MoMA’s “Art Lending Service.” It is a testament of the technological advancements in architecture as much as in photography, and the iconic legacy of one of the sharpest eyes to have captured both.

The popularity of Steichen’s work was widespread, gaining him commissions by stylish socialites, Hollywood sirens, powerful politicians, and magazine editors. When Steichen was approached by Vanity Fair to photograph the iconic landmark, he approached the assignment with the sensitivity of a portraitist and the exactitude of a documentarian.

Knowing that the awe-inspiring effect of the building could go amiss in a photograph, Steichen laid one negative on top of another and carefully controlled the toning. The resulting image infuses the building with a powerful sense of three-dimensionality and a high level of energy. Of the famous shoot Steichen has noted, “I conceived the building as a Maypole…to suggest the swirl of a Maypole dance.” The fear of diminishing the building’s effect, consequentially, was innovatively overcome.

Tiffany’s flagship store opened in 1940 on Fifth Avenue. Tiffany designs were worn by such prominent NY families as the Astors and the Vanderbilts. Tiffany designs range from the Art Deco and Art Nouveau periods to modern styles. These iconic compositions are some of the most recognized in the world.

Raymond Yard opened his first salon on Fifth Avenue in 1922, which served many prominent families in New York. This ring, a wonderful example of his early work, is featured in the book Yard: The Life and Magnificent Jewelry of Raymond C. Yard, by Natasha Kuzmanovic and David Rockefeller.

The phenomenal collaboration between Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground and Nico while Warhol was the band’s manager from 1965-1967 culminated in the epic debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico released by Verve Records in 1967. Recorded in 1966 during Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable multimedia event tour, The Velvet Underground & Nico has since become one of the most influential and critically acclaimed albums of all time.

An assemblage of fifteen original albums (lot 292), is shown as a Warhol multiple, with its inherent variations in printing and placement of the banana sticker and the Warhol signature. The back cover of the album showcases additional variations. On early copies of the album, in both the mono and stereo version, the Warhol scenester/actor/ dancer Eric Emerson appears projected onto the band in a photograph from a performance of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable. A financially strapped Emerson, who hadn’t given reproduction permission, threatened legal action against the label, Verve Records. In response, a new cover was designed and issued to replace the original and a large sticker was used to cover Emerson’s image of the existing unsold albums. All three states of the album are represented in this lot.

The Velvet Underground (lot 294) is a sheet the iconic banana stickers designed by Andy Warhol for use on the cover of the groundbreaking 1967 debut album. This is one of only two known unpeeled and unpasted sticker sheets extant. The iconic banana stickers were custom applied to the album covers with intentional variable precision.

Comprised of a rare Velvet Underground and Nico poster, lot 293, produced by Verve Records to promote their album as part of a promotional campaign that utilized the cutting edge Pop sensibility of the era. This is the only known surviving example of this poster.

The extreme rarity of this work was most likely due to the controversy surrounding the unauthorized use of the image of Eric Emerson from the Exploding Plastic Inevitable on the album. This striking poster may have never even been distributed.

The year 1974 was an important moment in the career of Charles Ray, whose sculptural works had already established him as a formidable artist. Ray’s attention to the ways bodies relate with objects—marked by his interest in balance— reflected a conceptual dialogue with New York-based artists such as Richard Serra and Dennis Oppenheim. Ray was physically engaged in the production of his art, and in 1973 he began making his own body a critical element of his sculptural works. The present lot retains the investigation into balance represented in Ray’s earlier works while pushing his oeuvre toward an increased blurring of the boundary between sculpture and performance.

Bench was a landmark work in this time of Ray’s career. In its completed state it both supports and is supported by the human body, as two people simultaneously sit on opposite ends of the wood plank facing away from each other. The work references Brancusi’s The Kiss, creating tension between the two iconic lovers and separating them by an object that, together, they support. Positioning the human body as visually divided by the wooden board, Bench also looks forward to Ray’s later works which relate objects on opposite sides of a plane.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS BUYING AT AUCTION The following pages are designed to offer you information on how to buy at auction at Phillips de Pury & Company. Our staff will be happy to assist you.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty which appear later in this catalogue govern the auction. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read them as they outline the legal relationship among Phillips, the seller and the buyer and describe the terms upon which property is bought at auction.

Please be advised that Phillips de Pury & Company generally acts as agent for the seller.

BUYER’S PREMIUM Phillips de Pury & Company charges the successful bidder a commission, or buyer’s premium, on the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price at the following rates: 25% of the hammer price up to and including $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.

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. ∆ Property In Which Phillips De Pury & Company Has An Ownership Interest Lots with this symbol indicate that Phillips de Pury & Company owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest.

•

No Reserve Unless indicated by a , all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential value established between Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.

•

2 BIDDING IN THE SALE 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.

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 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.

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.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS BUYING AT AUCTION The following pages are designed to offer you information on how to buy at auction at Phillips de Pury & Company. Our staff will be happy to assist you.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty which appear later in this catalogue govern the auction. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read them as they outline the legal relationship among Phillips, the seller and the buyer and describe the terms upon which property is bought at auction. Please be advised that Phillips de Pury & Company generally acts as agent for the seller.

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.

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.

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.

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) ThThe 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 182

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.

special Conditions of sale for purchasers of jewelry Catalogue Descriptions and Condition of Property (a) As a matter of policy, Phillips de Pury & Company will obtain gemological reports from officially recognized laboratories for certain gemstones offered for sale. A summary of these reports is included in the catalogue description for a lot, and a copy of the report is available upon request. Reports from American gemological laboratories used by Phillips de Pury & Company will generally disclose heat enhancement or treatment of colored gemstones.

European gemological laboratory reports will disclose heat enhancement only if specifically requested but will generally confirm when no heat enhancement or treatment has been made. Variations in approach and technology used by different gemological laboratories may result in a lack of consensus among reports as to whether any particular gemstone has been treated, the extent of treatment and whether treatment is permanent.

It is not feasible for Phillips de Pury & Company to obtain such reports for all gemstones offered at auction. Prospective buyers should, therefore, bear in mind that colored gemstones offered for sale without a gemological report or a specific statement in the catalogue entry may have been treated to enhance color, transparency or clarity. Enhancement of colored gemstones may affect market value, and our pre-sale estimates reflect the assumption that any colored gemstone not described in the catalogue entry as natural may have been treated. (b) 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 weights are approximate, whether or not qualified by the terms “stated to be” or “approximate.” Illustrations are for identification purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or weight or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. (c) While Phillips de Pury & Company attempts to obtain accurate information on the country of origin of the gemstones offered for sale, we do not guarantee the accuracy of the catalogue or other description of such information.

Collection of Property The buyer must arrange for collection of a purchased lot within five days of the date of the auction. All purchased lots should be collected at our premises at 450 West 15th Street, New York, New York during our regular weekday business hours. 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

AUTHORSHIP WARRANTY 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 created prior to 1870, unless the property is determined to be counterfeit (defined as a forgery made less than 50 years ago with an intent to deceive) and has a value at the date of the claim under this warranty which is materially less than the Purchase Price paid; (iii) property where the description in the catalogue states that there is a conflict of opinion on the authorship of the property; (iv) property where our attribution of authorship was on the date of sale consistent with the generally accepted opinions of specialists, scholars or other experts; or (v) 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. (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.
