Provenance

Frederick Zimmermann

Victor Aitay

American double bassist Frederick Zimmermann (1906–1967) was a renowned performer and teacher.

He was a member of the New York Philharmonic (1930–1966), where he served as both assistant principal and principal bassist. He was on the faculty at Juilliard, Mannes, and the Manhattan School of Music, as well as NYU and Columbia University. Zimmermann has often been referred to as “the father of bass teaching in the United States.”

Born in Budapest, Hungary, Victor Aitay (1921–2012) served the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for fifty seasons. He started as assistant concertmaster (1954– 1965), became associate concertmaster (1965–1967), then concertmaster (1967–1986), and finally concertmaster emeritus (1986–2003).

Lot 41

Victor also served as a professor of violin at DePaul University, music director and conductor of the Lake Forest Symphony, and leader of the Chicago Symphony String Quartet. He is, without a doubt, a legend amongst all string players.

In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.

2. All property is sold “as is,� and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate.
