ANDY WARHOL (1928 - 1987)
General Custer (F.& S. II.379), 1986
screenprint in colors on Lenox Museum Board, 81/250 36 x 36 inches
signed lower left: 81/250 Andy Warhol chop mark lower right verso: artist’s copyright ink stamp, Publisher Gaultney-Klineman Art, New York ink stamp.
General Custer is one of ten prints in Andy Warhol’s 1986 Cowboys and Indians series. The portfolio explores the relationship between the media’s romanticized take on the Great American West and its duplicitous effect on correctly understanding history. General Custer was a commander of the Union Army during the American Civil War and fought against Indigenous Americans during the American Indian Wars. He died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn at the hand of Sioux leader Sitting Bull and his Plains Indians army.
PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Dallas, Texas
$90,000-$120,000
ANDY WARHOL (1928 - 1987)
Sitting Bull (F.& S. IIIA.70), 1986
screenprint in colors on Lenox Museum Board
36 x 36 inches
chop mark lower left verso: The Estate of Andy Warhol ink stamp; Authorized by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts ink stamp numbered UP 100.190
As a fitting counterpoint to Warhol’s General Custer, Sitting Bull originates from the artist’s Cowboys & Indians series from 1986. Although printed for the series, it was not published in the portfolio. Sitting Bull is Warhol’s homage to the leader of the Lakota, whose resistance against the violation of sovereignty by white settlers mounted an overwhelmingly successful defense at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. This battle for Native American territory is also known as “Custer’s Last Stand,” a reference to the colossal defeat suffered by the U.S. Army, led by Custer.

JAMES EARLE FRASER (1876 - 1953)
End of the Trail
bronze, 22 34.5 x 30.5 x 9 inches
inscribed: JE Fraser SU22 stamped: Cast 96
PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Dallas, Texas
$15,000-$20,000
James Earle Fraser created the original version of End of the Trail in 1894, and he subsequently produced numerous replicas in both plaster and bronze. In it, the sculpture depicts a weary Native American man, wearing only the remains of a blanket and carrying a spear. He is hanging limp as he and his weary horse with swollen eyes comes to the edge of the Pacific Ocean. This iconic image represented the changing American West and was meant by the artist to be a critique of the United States Government. This exceptional posthumous casting was produced in very limited quantities circa 1970’s from an original mold by Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, which was bequeathed the artist’s estate.
EDWARD SHERIFF CURTIS (1868 - 1952)
The North American Indian, Plates from the Southwest Portfolios (Folio size with 36 Plates and Octavo size with 75 Plates), c. 1980
leather portfolios with photogravures on archival paper, A.P. 3/12 produced by The Classic Gravure Corporation 24 x 20 and 14 x 12 inches (portfolios) signed in pencil lower right (each gravure): A.P. 3/12
The Classic Gravure Corporation (CGC), Santa Fe, New Mexico was established in the late 1970’s to purchase the original 2220 copper plates used to produce The North American Indian by Edward Sheriff Curtis. The intent of CGC was to produce a continuation of 228 abridged/edited sets to compliment the original 272 of 500 previously and originally issued. Printed in Santa Fe, New Mexico circa 1980 by master printer Deli Sacilotto who was hired by CGC to print the limited edition. Only the finest materials were used including handmade Italian Fabrianon archival paper, full leather portfolio cases, and fine linen coverings. Curtis’s daughters, Florence Curtis Graybill and Billy Curtis Ingram visited Santa Fe and passionately endorsed the CGC project. The portfolios are the finest Curtis photogravures produced posthumously. CGC was only able to complete 99 Southwest and 20 Plains portfolios in two sizes (folio and octavo) falling far short of the 228 intended portfolios.

inscribed: Bill Nebeker CA 2011 9/30
The legendary Texas Rangers date back to 1823, when Stephen F. Austin called for ten men to protect new Texas settlers from Native American raids. By 1835, the Rangers were required to supply their own horses, saddles and firearms. The Texas Ranger represented by the artist in The Eyes of Texas is circa 1870 carrying a 1/2 seat, double rigging saddle with a Cheyenne roll, and his Henry rifle. Fans of Larry McMurtry’s Western novel Lonesome Dove will appreciate the Ranger’s close resemblance to Captain Augustus “Gus” McCrae played by actor Robert Duvall in the 1989 Lonesome Dove TV miniseries.

John Coffee “Jack” Hays was arguably the greatest Texas Ranger of all time and the most famous and feared fighter in Texas Ranger history. The Comanches named him “man-it-is-very-bad-luckto-get-in-fight-with-because-devilshelp-him” which was one word in the Comanche language. The Europeans shortened it to “Devil Jack”. The original casting of this bronze is a 16 ft. tall monument on the grounds of the Hays County Courthouse in San Marcos, Texas. This is casting #16 which was actually the last cast made prior to the mold being broken. Included with this lot is a custom framed print of the original 1858 Matthew Brady portrait of Col. Hayes.

JAMES COX
The Cattle Industry of Texas and Adjacent Territory Historical and Biographical 1895
book, First Edition 12.5 x 10.5 x 2.5 inches
Published in 1895 by Woodward & Tiernan Printing Co., Saint Louis, Missouri, this compendium of Texas cattle and cattlemen is considered one of the rarest of Texas books. Conceived as a biographical dictionary to be sold primarily to the 449 Texas cattlemen whose biographies appeared in it, the final published book contained so much value on the cattle industry that it has become a classic in its field. The other half of the 743 page volume, written by James Cox, provides one of the two or three best contemporary accounts of the history of the Texas cattle trade. One of the ‘big four’ cattle books, and after Freeman’s Prose and Poetry, the most important. The book contains a wealth of information, and is a cornerstone in any range library. It is believed that very few of these books still exist.

Frederic Remington is considered to be one of the most successful and most famous Western American artists.

His paintings and bronzes depict the American West in his own unique style that was extremely well received by the American public if not by critics. On the Way to the Platte is a wonderful example of his skill honed as an illustrator and it is included in the Frederic Remington Catalogue Raisonné as number 1083.

PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Dallas, Texas
$250,000-$300,000
Considered a Master Painter of the Old West and the Father of Western Moonlight Painting, Frank Tenney Johnson was influenced by his artist peers of the time including Frederic Remington and Charles Marion Russell. Beginning in New York as an illustrator for numerous national magazines as well as for the Western novels of Zane Grey, Johnson eventually got a taste of the West joining Russell on a sketching expedition to the Blackfoot Reservation in Montana. Later in his career he moved to Alhambra, California where he shared a studio with Clyde Forsythe. At this point, his easel paintings became more popular than his illustrations so he concentrated on that medium, painting cowboys and Native Americans. Together, Johnson and Forsythe exhibited in the Biltmore Salon at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Known mainly for his moonlight painting technique, he was also adept at painting compelling daytime scenes in a style utilizing knives, fingers, and brushes. The Lawless Frontier painted by the artist in 1930 is a testament to his remarkable skill as a painter. A rare daytime action scene by the artist, this incredible and new to the market painting, was purchased directly from the Biltmore Art Gallery circa 1930 and has been in the same family since that time.

HOWARD A. TERPNING (b. 1927)
Proud Men, 2000
oil on board
12 x 13 inches
signed lower left: Terpning 2000 CA
Howard Terpning is a classically trained illustrator and painter and is universally considered the most important American Western artist living today. His representational paintings of the American West and the Plains Indians are not realism in minute detail for its own sake, without regard to the context of light and the subject’s character. His palette is typically restrained in order to ensure that narrative is the first impression imparted upon the viewer. Proud Men was selected as the front cover artwork for Don Hedgpeth’s book Howard Terpning Spirit of the Plains People published in 2001 and was described within as follows: “They Followed the warrior’s way, proud prairie horsemen with an appetite for honor and the visceral thrill of danger. They looked death in the face and fought on, emboldened by bravery and the armor of their medicine. They rode for revenge but would fight for no other reason than to plumb the depth of their courage.” In addition to the front jacket cover, Proud Men is also illustrated on page 103.

Arthello Beck, Jr. was an important Dallas artist and the first African American to own and operate an art gallery in the city. He graduated from Dallas’ Lincoln High School where he received his only art training and is considered self-taught. To continue his learning journey, he used the Dallas Public Library as a way to learn more about art. He never read an art book but instead looked at the pictures. He opened an art gallery in Oak Cliff, Texas, in 1973, where along with his own paintings, he displayed paintings and sculptures by other artists, especially African American artists from the Dallas area. Beck also sold paintings at the State Fair of Texas for over thirty years. Collectors of his work include former Dallas Cowboy Calvin Hill and his son and former NBA player Grant Hill. In Sunday Afternoon Commute, Beck paints the historic and ancestral Dallas home of J.L. Turner, Sr., one of, if not the first African American, with a law degree to practice law in Texas.

Anna Mary Robertson better known as Grandma Moses was an American folk artists whose paintings are time capsules, colorful narrative landscapes brimming with anecdotal vignettes about the joys of a way of life now lost. Her paintings were cumulative, without linear perspective, and need to be read as the eye wanders over the landscape adding up details. In We Have All Gone Sledding painted by the artist in 1943, she depicts a winter scene presumably at Christmas time with nine happy people enjoying a horse drawn sleigh ride. Accompanying this lot is a hand written letter from Moses gifting the painting to Ms. Cora B. Wilbur, New York, NY. This painting is included in the Grandma Moses Catalogue Raisonné #326 at the Kallir Research Institute, New York, NY.

Alexander Phimister Proctor was an American artist recognized as one of the nation’s foremost sculptors. He was classically trained and studied in New York and Paris. His sculpting interest was primarily centered around capturing animals in action and that, coupled with his interest in all things Native American, parlayed into a long, and successful career. Proctor considered Stalking Panther his first “real bronze” and counted as “almost a masterpiece” by Chicago sculptor and historian Lorado Taft. One was presented to President Theodore Roosevelt in 1909 by his so-called Tennis Cabinet. The striding panther is a powerful work and exemplifies the anatomical knowledge of and research by its creator.

For the last ten years, Kyle Polzin has been at the top of the list as one of the most coveted Western artists working today. His still life paintings are unlike any other and his ability to bring life to inanimate objects coupled with his mastery of lighting and reflection drives the demand by serious art collectors. Keeper of the Plains is a Native American headdress painting completed by the artist in 2020. An interesting fact about this incredible painting is that the artist made the headdress himself which included staining white turkey feathers to create eagle feathers as well as hand sewing each individual bead onto the headdress band. Polzin headdress paintings are exceedingly rare with only three others known, two of which hold the artist’s top two auction sales records.

According to the artist, Making A Good Spring refers to the complex relationship that exists between the cattleman, the weather and the land in West Texas. In this painting completed in 1984, the artist depicts the historic Spade Ranch in West Texas. The Spade is a typical working ranch. No glamour, no Marlboro men, just a good crew of cowhands who take on the challenges of ranching despite the most extreme weather conditions that Mother Nature can inflict. The Spade was one of G. Harvey’s favorite locations for subject matter to paint and he made two or three trips there per year, usually in the spring or winter months.

Auctioneer and Auction:
This Auction is presented by Lone Star Art Auction, a d/b/a/ of Great American West, LLC (“Auctioneer”). The Auction is conducted under these Terms and Conditions and applicable state and local law. Announcements and corrections from the podium and those made through the Terms and Conditions appearing on the Internet at www. lsartauction.com supersede those in the printed catalog. Auctioneer Jason Brooks, State of Texas License Number 16216, will preside over the Auction.
Buyer’s Premium:
All bids are subject to a Buyer’s Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid otherwise defined as the Hammer Price. Following is the Buyer’s Premium Schedule for the Auction: 20% for Live In-Person Bidding, Telephone Bidding, and Absentee or Proxy Bidding. 20% for Online Bidding on the Auction website at www.lsartauction.com. 25% for Online Bidding on Bidsquare and LiveAuctioneers.
Bidders:
1. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions (“Bidder(s)”).
2. All Bidders must meet Auctioneer’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction.
3. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid.
Credit:
In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders should preregister at least two business days before the start of the Auction (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneer’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: Auctioneer history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the auction venue.
Bidding Options:
1. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, phone, and mail bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be considered your high bid.
2. Auctioneer’s Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneer’s place of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of
bids submitted by telephone, mail, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the Internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer. Such requests must state the reason and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction unless prearranged.
3. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted.
The following chart governs current bidding increments.
Current Bid Increment:
Under $2,000 $100
$2,000 – $5,000 $250
$5,000 – $10,000 $500
$10,000 – $20,000 $1,000
$20,000 – $50,000 $2,500
$50,000 – $100,000 $5,000
Over $100,000 $10,000
4. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half of the increment (“Cut Bid”) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue to participate only at full increments. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids.
Conducting the Auction:
1. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneer’s decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. Auctioneer reserves the right after the hammer falls to accept bids and reopen bidding for bids placed through the Internet or otherwise.
2. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in “Good Faith” when made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in “Good Faith.” Any person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid.
3. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 40–60% of the low estimate, the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor.
4. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer’s discretion (approximately 50%-60% of the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold.
5. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction.
6. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneer’s
clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason and in Auctioneer’s sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premiums) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot.
7. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to contact the Auctioneer at (214) 730-0939.
8. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction and may bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors.
9. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.
Payment:
1. All sales are strictly in United States dollars and accepted methods of payment include personal checks, commercial checks, and bank wire, and are subject to all reporting requirements. Authorized MasterCard, Visa and Discover credit card payments are accepted but are limited to a maximum total of $10,000.00 U.S. dollars for the auction. These credit cards are also accepted with the convenience fee charge of 3.0% added to the total purchase amount (hammer price plus Buyer’s premium). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in Auctioneer’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten business day hold, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with prearranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via eCheck, personal, or corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of five (5) days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise.
2. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Invoices will be emailed to all successful online bidders by October 31, 2023. Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within seven (7) days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premiums) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot or Auctioneer, at its option, may charge a twenty (20%) restock fee on the amount of the purchase and offset the restock fee against any monies paid to the Auctioneer or against any of the purchaser’s properties held by the Auctioneer.
3. Lots delivered to you, or your representative, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five (5) days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within four (4) days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made.
4. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck and your
financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using another acceptable form of payment.
5. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer.
6. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any under-bidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or re-list the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer. A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 20% seller’s commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less the 20% seller’s commission, if sold at an Auctioneer’s auction.
7. Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full in good funds before delivery of the merchandise.
8. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment of the Auction invoice. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale (including a 20% seller’s commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives all rights of offset he might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice. If a Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.
9. Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.
Delivery, Shipping and Handling Charges:
1. Buyer is liable for shipping, handling, registration, and renewal fees, if any. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees are received or credit extended, except when thirdparty shipment occurs. Buyer agrees that Service and Handling charges related to shipping items which are not prepaid, may be charged to the credit card on file with Auctioneer.
2. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price together with its buyer’s premium and Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Buyers on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.
3. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful Bidder. On all domestic shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Auctioneer until the shipping carrier’s confirmation of delivery to the address of record in Auctioneer’s file (carrier’s confirmation is conclusive to prove delivery to Bidder; if the client
has a Signature release on file with the carrier, the package is considered delivered without Signature) or delivery by the Auctioneer to Bidder’s selected third-party shipper. On all foreign shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Bidder following Auctioneer’s delivery to the Bidder’s designated common carrier or third-party shipper.
4. Due to the nature of some items sold, it shall be the responsibility for the successful Bidder to arrange pick-up and shipping through third parties as to such items Auctioneer shall have no liability. Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject Lots to storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage for larger items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days. In the event the Lot is not removed within ninety days, the Lot may be offered for sale to recover any past due storage or moving fees, including a 20% Seller’s Commission.
5. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any loss caused by or resulting from: a. Seizure or destruction under quarantine or Customs regulation, or confiscation by order of any Government or public authority, or risks of contraband or illegal transportation of trade, or b. Breakage of statuary, marble, and similar fragile articles.
6. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of shipment by Auctioneer.
Cataloging, Warranties and Disclaimers:
1. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION CONTAINED IN THIS AUCTION OR ANY SECOND OPINE. Any description of the items or second opine contained in this Auction is for the sole purpose of identifying the items for those Bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the bargain or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by Auctioneer. Color variations can be expected in any electronic or printed imaging and are not grounds for the return of any lot. NOTE: Auctioneer may have express written warranties and you are referred to those specific terms and conditions.
2. Auctioneer is selling only such right or title to the items being sold as Auctioneer may have by virtue of consignment agreements on the date of auction and disclaims any warranty of title to the Property. Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any purposes. All images, descriptions, sales data, and archival records are the exclusive property of Auctioneer, and may be used by Auctioneer for advertising, promotion, archival records, and any other uses deemed appropriate.
3. Auctioneer disclaims all liability for damages, consequential or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the sale of any Property by Auctioneer to Bidder. No third party may rely on any benefit of these Terms and Conditions and any rights, if any, established hereunder are personal to the Bidder and may not be assigned. Any statement made by the Auctioneer is an opinion and does not constitute a warranty or representation. No employee of Auctioneer may alter these Terms and Conditions, and, unless signed by a principal of Auctioneer, any such alteration is null and void.
4. Auctioneer shall not be liable for breakage of glass or damage to frames (patent or latent); such defects, in any event, shall not be a basis for any claim for return or reduction in purchase price.
Release:
In consideration of participation in the Auction and the placing of a bid, Bidder expressly releases Auctioneer, its officers, directors and employees, its affiliates, and its outside experts that provide second opines, from any and all claims, cause of action, chose of action, whether at law or equity or any arbitration or mediation rights existing under the rules of any professional society or affiliation based upon the assigned description, or a derivative theory, breach of warranty express or implied, representation or other matter set forth within these Terms and Conditions or otherwise. In the event of a claim, Bidder agrees that
such rights and privileges conferred therein are strictly construed as specifically declared herein, e.g., authenticity, typographical error, etc. and are the exclusive remedy. Bidder, by non-compliance to these express terms of a granted remedy, shall waive any claim against Auctioneer.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Provision:
1. By placing a bid or otherwise participating in the auction, Bidder accepts these Terms and Conditions, and specifically agrees to the dispute resolution provided herein. Consumer disputes shall be resolved through court litigation which has an exclusive Dallas, Texas venue clause and jury waiver.
