Throughout the 1930’s Friberg expanded his work as a commercial artist, while continuing his formal artistic education. In 1937 Friberg’s work brought him into contact with the Northwest Paper Company. At that time the paper company was actively seeking artists for their Royal Canadian Mounted Police campaign, and Friberg proved to be the perfect fit. Over the next thirty years Friberg created over three hundred images of Mounties. Striving to improve himself and reach a broader audience, Friberg entered the distinguished Prix de Rome competition in 1940. While Friberg did not win, he traveled to New York City to view the exhibition of entries, including his own, and used the opportunity to further his career in illustration. While in New York Friberg gained access to the Grand Central School of Art, where he studied directly with iconic illustrator Harvey Dunn. Friberg found modest success in New York, securing a freelance assignment to create illustrations for the magazine Liberty. In 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and everything changed. Like the majority of his contemporaries, Friberg went to war, joining the 86th Infantry Division. Friberg saw active combat in Germany, before being reassigned to occupation duty in the Philippines where his artistic skills were finally utilized in the topographic department. Following the war, Friberg traveled throughout the west, before settling in Utah in 1950. In Utah Friberg found the opportunity to explore religious art, creating a series of twelve iconic images to illustrate the Book of Mormon. These illustrations caught the eye of Hollywood filmmaker Cecil B. Demille, and Friberg went on to create academy award nominated set and costume designs for his major motion picture, The Ten Commandments. During the 1970’s Friberg finally had the opportunity to explore the western subjects he so loved. On this topic Friberg wrote, “I came to realize that the ‘Old West’ didn’t just one day suddenly die. It gradually changed in my lifetime. Yet even now after all these years, you can still see it in some places. Boulders and wild cows and mesquite can still be awfully mean, and if you are caught in the desert without water, your tongue can still swell, and horses are still horses. So I gradually came to realize that although I missed the Indian wars, I still had something bona fide to give to western art.” When viewing Uncertain Odds, Friberg’s bona fide contribution to western art is undeniable. His narrative skill shines through in the overwhelming drama and action of the piece, taking the viewer instantly back to the Old West.

WILLIAM HENRY DETHLEF KOERNER
(1878 -1938)
William Henry Dethlef Koerner was born to a German immigrant family in 1878. The Koerners settled in Clinton, Iowa, in 1880, and the young William displayed a talent for the visual arts from an early age. Koerner moved to Chicago at the age of eighteen to work as a staff artist for the Chicago Tribune. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Francis Smith Art Academy, and the Art Students League in New York beginning in 1905. After two years at the League Koerner moved to Wilmington, Delaware, to study with Howard Pyle—the man widely considered to be the father of American illustration art. Koerner found great success as an illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, along with his fellow Art Students League alumnus, Norman Rockwell. When assigned to illustrate the series “Traveling the Old Trails” for the Post, Koerner researched the subject for many long hours in the New York Public Library and the Museum of Natural History before taking to the road with his family to survey the terrain of the American West in person. Koerner died in Interlaken, New Jersey, in 1938, leaving a wealth of paintings, drawings, and sketchbooks, which were preserved by his wife, Lillian. Works from the estate were acquired by many private collections and public institutions beginning in 1964 when Koerner’s daughter, Ruth Ann Koerner Oliver, decided to reintroduce her father’s work to the world. Koerner’s studio, complete with his working materials, furniture, and collection of Western artifacts, is a permanent installation at the Whitney Gallery of Western Art at the Buffalo Bill Center in Cody, Wyoming.

181 W.H.D. KOERNER (1878-1938) The Price of the Old Northwest, 1929 oil on canvas 28 x 40 inches signed lower right: WHD Koerner 1929
A student of the father of American illustration Howard Pyle, W.H.D. Koerner went on to create more than just a name for himself in the world of illustration. Working for such giants as Collier’s, McCall’s, the Ladies Home Journal, American, and many more—it was arguably his relationship with the Saturday Evening Post that most defined Koerner’s career. Koerner created more than half of his illustrative work specifically for the Post, and later in life he worked for them exclusively. Koerner’s sensitivity and ability to bring the written word to life, made him a quick favorite among the top writers of the day, bringing a flood of requests for his work. As W.H. Hutchinson writes, “The collaboration between author and illustrator transcended the field of western illustration to illuminate the entire spectrum of the Golden Age of American Popular Fiction. For most of Koerner’s productive life, reading was the primary amusement of the American people, and nowhere else in the world were there so many magazines of so diverse a clientele of magazine buyers and readers. It can be suggested firmly that, in this period, the mass-circulation magazines, the so-called ‘slicks,’ were the central fixtures of American culture.”1 These periodicals served as the cornerstone of popular culture, and Koerner found himself at the heart of it. In 1909 Koerner created his first series of illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post, marking the beginning of a nearly thirty year working relationship, until Koerner’s death in 1938. Although he was an illustrator, and the vast majority of the magazines he worked for printed only in black and white, Koerner leaned more and more towards working in full color as his career progressed. From 1922 on, Koerner painted exclusively in color, unless specifically requested to complete a grisaille. As evidenced by these illustrations from the 1920’s and 1930’s like The Price of the Old Northwest, Koerner’s paintings stand alone as complete and telling works of art. 1

192 CARL RUNGIUS (1869-1959) At the Deadwater, 1908 oil on canvas 24 x 32 inches signed lower right: C. Rungius lower left: copyright 1908 Despite being one of the most famous painters of North American wildlife, Carl Rungius was born in Rixdorf near Berlin, Germany, in 1869. Rungius developed an early interest in studying and hunting wild animals, due in large part to the influence of his father and grandfather, both amateur naturalists and taxidermists. At a young age Rungius also showed a talent for drawing, and pursued his formal artistic training in Berlin at the Berlin Art School, the Academy of Fine Arts, and the School of Applied Arts. Following his education, Rungius began his career as a romantic painter in Germany. As fortune would have it, in 1894 Rungius’s uncle invited him to travel to Maine for a hunting trip. It was then that Rungius’s passion for hunting big game and painting truly came together, as he found his inspiration for both in the wildlife of North America. Enchanted, Rungius spent a summer hunting in Wyoming before moving permanently to New York in 1897. Rungius’s studio in New York allowed him easy access to the art scene of New York City as well as the wilderness of the Northeast and the Canadian Rockies. In 1904 Rungius traveled the Yukon with Charles Sheldon, and in 1910 he traveled to Banff, Alberta for the first time. In Banff Rungius found the ideal location for painting and hunting, particularly with the prevalence of the bighorn sheep in the region. Rungius built a studio there in 1921, nicknamed ‘The Paintbox,” and visited annually until his death in 1959. Painted in 1908 At the Deadwater evokes Rungius’ earlier and tighter style of painting while also foreshadowing the looser more impressionistic direction that his career would take—a beautiful combination of both.

204 BOB KUHN (1920-2007) Closing the Distance, 1977 acrylic on masonite 24 x 48 inches signed lower left: Kuhn verso: signed Born in Buffalo, New York, Bob Kuhn received his artistic training at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where he studied design, anatomy, and life-drawing. For the next thirty years, Kuhn made his living as one of the most popular wildlife illustrators in America, before turning to easel painting full time in 1970. Kuhn traveled around the world to obtain inspiration, with many of his wildlife expeditions lasting up to eight weeks. He made countless trips to Africa, six trips to Alaska, and numerous journeys to Canada and the American West. Originally inspired by African wildlife, Kuhn turned to the mammals of North America in later years, while always maintaining a strong interest in African animals. Kuhn worked primarily in acrylic and strove to capture the particular movements and personalities of the wild animals he painted. A member of the Society of Animal Artists in New York, Kuhn had paintings in many prestigious permanent collections including, The John L. Wehle Gallery of Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Museum in Mumford, NY, The National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, WY, and The National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, OK. Closing the Distance serves not only as an iconic piece within Kuhn’s oeuvre, but also a pivotal moment in his artistic process. Kuhn describes his methodology, writing, “I tried something new with this painting. My habit had been to select a few transparencies from my files and have 8 x 10 prints made of them. These would be spread out on a table and used as reference sources for whatever animal I was painting. In this instance I picked out 40 or 50 slides showing lions in all sorts of gestures and levels of light. Since the poses in the painting were largely from memory, I didn’t dwell on any one slide, but flashed them on and off whenever I needed another dose of lions. I suppose it reinforced what I knew and gave me confidence to see the real thing when my painting grew tentative. I have not gone back to my old method, and that was 12 or more years ago.” The lack of one specific source image or influence clearly comes across in Closing the Distance, rather than a photographic reproduction Kuhn presents here the essence of the lion, the tension of the stalk, and the deeper character of the animal.

E. MARTIN HENNINGS
(1886 -1956)
Born in 1886, in Pennsgrove, New Jersey, E. Martin Hennings moved to Chicago with his family a few years later. After growing up in the city, Hennings developed an interest in art and attended the Art Institute of Chicago, where he graduated with multiple awards, recognitions, and scholarships—his career off to a promising start. After a few years of working as a commercial artist, Hennings entered the Prix de Rome, coming in second. With a renewed determination to pursue a career as a fine artist, Hennings traveled to Germany where he studied at the Royal Academy in Munich. While there, he joined the American Artists Club where he met future co-members of the Taos Society of Artists Walter Ufer and Victor Higgins. The onset of World War I cut Hennings’ stay in Germany short, and he returned to Chicago. In 1917 prominent art collector Carter H. Harrison took notice of Hennings’ work and offered to sponsor him on a trip to Taos, New Mexico, in exchange for a few paintings. New Mexico proved to be a strong muse for Hennings; the light, landscape, and Pueblo Indians all inspired him to new artistic heights. In 1921 Hennings moved permanently to Taos, where he became a member of the Taos Society of Artists in 1924. Hennings split his time between Taos, Chicago, and Houston for the remainder of his career. Speaking about his love for New Mexico, Hennings said, “I constantly grew more enthusiastic over the West for I was impressed with the possibilities for landscape and figure composition. New Mexico has almost made a landscape painter out of me, although I believe my strongest work is in figures.”1 This group of drawings, prints, and paintings speaks strongly to Hennings’ skill as both a figural and landscape painter, tracing the trajectory of his career from his early student years in Europe to the pinnacle of his time in Taos. 1

240 EDGAR PAYNE (1883-1947) Navajo Scouting Party oil on canvas 28 x 34 inches signed lower right: EDGAR PAYNE verso: titled and signed Born in rural Barry County, Missouri, in 1883 Edgar Payne spent his childhood exploring the Ozark Mountains of that region. With an early connection to the wilds of nature, Payne left home at age fourteen, finding work as a sign, house, and set painter until he reached Chicago. While largely self-taught, Payne did briefly enroll in classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1909 Payne took his first life-altering trip to California, where he visited Laguna Beach and met his future wife Elsie Palmer in San Francisco. Over the subsequent years Payne traveled between Chicago and California, gathering acclaim and accolades for his California landscapes. Growing in public esteem, Payne visited the Southwest in the summer of 1916, with travel provided by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, who would later acquire a handful of the paintings that originated from the trip. Those first four months Payne spent traveling the Southwest, and living among the Hopi and Navajo, would prove to be central to his career—second only to his depictions of the High Sierra. In 1917 Payne moved to California, and subsequently took his first trip to the Sierra Nevada, where he spent many of the following summers sketching. While WWI ravaged the nation on an international scale, Payne sought patriotism and reverence in the purity of California’s most formidable mountains. Later dubbed “the God of the Mountains” Payne brought an uncanny American impressionism to the wilds, creating images that were simultaneously tranquil and forceful, which resonated not only with the art community but with the general public as well. After spending much of the early 1920’s traveling across the United States and Europe, Payne returned to Los Angeles and became president of the California Art Club in 1926. He subsequently became a member of the Salmagundi Club and The American Artists Professional League in 1928, and continued exhibiting and traveling widely across the nation. In 1931 Payne returned to the Southwest and proceeded to spend his summers sketching there during the early 1930’s. In 1941 Payne published the first edition of Composition of Outdoor Painting, which is revered today by aspiring artists as the bible of plein air landscape painting. Payne succumbed to cancer in 1947, leaving behind a legacy larger than his life.

243 WILLIAM GOLLINGS (1878-1932) Herald of Trouble, ca. 1911 oil on canvas 29 ¼ x 20 inches signed lower right: Gollings © Born in Pierce City, Idaho, in 1878, William E. Gollings had a passion for the west in his veins. After spending his early years in the mining camps of Idaho, Gollings went to Michigan to stay with family after his mother passed away. From there he traveled to Chicago to get a formal education. They may have taken the boy out of the west, but he eagerly studied Frederic Remington’s illustrations in Harper’s Weekly and other publications, furthering not only his love of the old west, but also his interest in art. In 1896 Gollings purchased a train ticket out of Chicago and began traveling through South Dakota and Nebraska, working as a ranch hand and cowboy. During those years of hard labor, Gollings also honed his innate artistic talents, experimenting with paint sets, and refining his craft. In 1905 Gollings returned to Chicago and enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts, earning a scholarship to continue his studies for a second year. Feeling the pull of the west, Gollings moved to Sheridan, Wyoming, in 1909 where he built a small studio, and made a permanent residence. Drawing upon his years of personal experience working as everything from a ranch hand and cowboy to a gold miner and stagecoach driver, Gollings sought to preserve a west that was quickly disappearing. His proximately to the last of the old west in Wyoming also brought him into contact with other artists who served as mentors and friends; among them Edward Borein, W.H.D. Koerner, Charles M. Russell, and most importantly Joseph Henry Sharp. Sharp served as a key influence for Gollings, assisting him with technique and artistic methods. Gollings spent time on the Cheyenne Reservation in Wyoming, and his Native American work evokes both an authenticity and also a nostalgia for a time already passed. Painted two years after his move to Sheridan, Herald of Trouble displays all the action and drama of the old west, depicting the fraught moment before a direct confrontation between a wagon train and a group of Native Americans.

STANLEY MELTZOFF
(1917-2006)
There are fish painters, and then there is Stanley Meltzoff. Universally regarded as the finest painter of apex saltwater gamefish, Meltzoff was born in Brooklyn during the climactic year of WWI. He was an early prodigy both in public school and later at City College of New York. During WWII, he served as a correspondent for The Stars and Stripes army newspaper, sitting alongside such luminaries-to-be as two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bill Mauldin. After the war, Meltzoff taught briefly at New York’s Pratt Institute before mustering the artistic courage to branch out on his own. After that, he never looked back. Beginning in the late 1940s as one of Madison Avenues original “Mad Men,” Meltzoff’s illustration career quickly took off. His work appeared regularly in books, national magazines, corporate annual reports, and advertising materials. Among other things, the artist did cover work for National Geographic, Saturday Evening Post, Scientific American, The Atlantic, and many others. His 64 covers for Scientific American remain a record to this day. Then in 1960, a commission from Sports Illustrated changed Meltzoff’s life. Always an avid diver and by now a celebrated artist, his series of paintings of striped bass conveyed a heretofore unknown degree of realism. Thrilled with the rave reviews, SI commissioned more series of gamefish paintings, as did the entire sporting media. Cover artwork for Field & Stream, Grays Sporting Journal, Sporting Classics, and Sports Afield quickly followed. By the time of his death, Stanley Meltzoff’s artwork had appeared in virtually every major sporting magazine. His death stilled a brush that will never be equaled. Today Meltzoff’s artwork is sought by museums and collectors around the world. His paintings are owned by such institutions as the Getty Museum, National Baseball Hall of Fame, National Geographic Society, National World War II Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Gallery. A recent series of one-man museum exhibitions has just concluded a three-year nationwide run. Of all the fish painters before or since, there has never been an equal to the late great Stanley Meltzoff. – Mike Rivkin

These fish are big, tough, and fearless, able to battle on equal terms with nearly every other creature in the sea. Still, there are a few species that will feed on swordfish given the opportunity, including giant squid, mako sharks, and orcas. Makos go for the tail, cutting off the broadbill’s propulsion unit while avoiding their vicious bill. In some ways, makos are the quintessential shark: menacing, streamlined, and bristling with teeth. Despite these credentials, Stanley never painted makos leaping (as they do) or as the target of anglers (which they are). Instead, he drew them from real life examples propped up in his studio and put them in scenes unwitnessed by man. Of his five swordfish pictures four include makos as significant co-stars. Only two of the five were major works, of which Swordfish 3 is one.” – Mike Rivkin PROVENANCE: From the Estate of Stanley Meltzoff EXHIBITED: Art of Angling, Newport Harbor Nautical Museum, Newport Beach, CA, August 2011 Stanley Meltzoff: Oceans and Other Worlds, Society of Illustrators, New York, NY, June 6-July 28, 2012 SHARK!, Ft Lauderdale Museum of Art, Ft.

In some respects, they offer insight into all the fish scenes completed during the autumn of his career. Despite the nearly identical nature of the marlin in the two works, Stanley changed the nudibranch to a jellyfish after being captivated by a display of jellies at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Given the delicate complexity of the jelly in the larger canvas, this was a daring choice. Nonetheless, Stanley was known to obsess about some of the smaller elements in a large composition, once cutting in half a perfectly wonderful painting of a bluefin tuna when he couldn’t quite get the final detail to his satisfaction.” – Mike Rivkin PROVENANCE: From the Estate of Stanley Meltzoff EXHIBITED: Art of Angling, Newport Harbor Nautical Museum, Newport Beach, CA, August 2011 Stanley Meltzoff: Oceans and Other Worlds, Society of Illustrators, New York, NY, June 6-July 28, 2012 The Lure of the Ocean: The Art of Stanley Meltzoff, Bruce Museum, Greenwich, CT, February 9-June 2, 2013 The Great Sporting Fish, Bell Museum of Natural History, Minneapolis, MN, May 30-August 30, 2015; Coastal Discovery Museum, Hilton Head, SC, October 1-December 31, 2015 Lure of the Ocean: The Art of Stanley Meltzoff, Neville Public Museum, Green Bay, WI, February 20-May 8, 2016 Into the Depths: Marine Paintings by Stanley Meltzoff, Museum of the Earth, Ithaca, NY, October 21, 2016-May 1, 2017 LITERATURE: Stanley Meltzoff and Mike Rivkin, Stanley Meltzoff: Picture Maker, Silverfish Press, Korea, 2010, illus. p.127 $25,000 – $35,000

276 CLARK HULINGS (1922-2011) Aix Fountain, 1985 oil on canvas 27 x 44 inches signed lower left: Hulings ©1985 While he was born in Florida in 1922, Clark Hulings spent formative early childhood years in Spain, which ingrained in him a love of Europe, with particular interest in the marketplaces, countryside, and daily life. Hulings himself acknowledged the importance of these years, saying, “If it is nostalgia that induces me to paint markets and donkeys and Spanish landscapes, things that were part of my distant childhood, perhaps it is also nostalgia that moves me to search out rustic places with bygone lifestyles.” This element of nostalgia can clearly be seen here in Aix Fountain; the historic square, fountain, and flower market feature prominently in the piece, while the focus is on the people and community—sans the hustle and bustle of modernity. After three years in Spain, Hulings’ father moved the family to New Jersey, where Hulings frequented the Metropolitan Museum of Art whenever possible, drawn to the work of George Innes, John Singer Sargent, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Inspired by the masters, Hulings took to copying their work on his own, convincing his father to enlist the tutelage of Sigismund Ivanowski. Following years of training with Ivanowski, Hulings continued his formal art education at the Art Students League in New York. Early in his career Hulings worked as a portrait painter and freelance illustrator, before devoting himself fully to easel painting in the 1960’s. By 1965 Hulings began exhibiting at the Grand Central Galleries, and in 1973 he received the Prix de West award at the National Academy of Western Art. The awards and acclaim continued throughout his long career. Hulings moved to New Mexico permanently in 1957, and continued to paint until his death in 2011.

A cat can lie on its back like nobody can ever imitate. A relaxed cat radiates joy of life. Cats know the art of living well. We can learn from them, not only domestic cats but all members of the cat family. One of the American members of the cat family, the cougar is the cat I like to paint best. Its colors fit so well with the colors of nature in the West. The model for my painting made my day when he allowed me to pet his belly. He was a domesticated cougar in a game farm, and I felt I had a wonderful contact with him. Cougar babies can become very tame when they grow up in captivity. Then they make great models for wildlife artists, who would have a hard time doing the same fieldwork in the wild.” – Carl Brenders PROVENANCE: Private Collection, Jacksonville, FL LITERATURE: Carl Brenders, Pride of Place, the Art of Carl Brenders, Langford Press, Langtoft, Peterborough, UK, 2007, illus. p. 90-91 $25,000 – $35,000

While visiting my father-in-law in Oklahoma a few years ago, I was struck by the immensity of those plains. I caught myself imagining how it would have been for a group of outlaws, to run wild and free there, in a time when there were no fences and barbed wire. The roar of the horses contrasting with the silence of the vast landscape, a few minutes before the bunch showed up. In addition to the group of riders, I wanted to show a massive threatening cloud, to reinforce the idea of rush, of tension. We don’t know what those riders are after. We don’t know if they just left a scene or if they’re going somewhere special... all we know is that they just cross our vision for a few seconds.” – Mark Maggiori PROVENANCE: The Artist $15,000 – $20,000

315 MARIE LAURENCIN (1883-1956) Femme en Jupe Multicolore oil on canvas 36 ¼ x 24 inches unsigned Born in Paris in 1883, Marie Laurencin began her formal artistic training in porcelain painting, before later transitioning to drawing and oil painting. Laurencin pursued her art education at the Académie Humbert, where she met Georges Braque. In 1907 she held her first solo show, which brought her into contact with the iconic cubist painter Pablo Picasso. Laurencin quickly became a central figure in the Paris avant-garde, exhibiting with the cubists and romantically linked to poet Guillaume Apollinaire—widely credited as his muse. In 1908 she completed one of her most famous works, Group of Artists, which featured Apollinaire, Picasso, Picasso’s mistress Fernande Oliver, and Laurencin herself. The work was purchased by none other than Gertrude Stein, cementing her place within the Parisian artist circle. In 1913 Laurencin parted ways with Apollinaire, and entered into a professional relationship with art dealer Paul Rosenberg, who also represented Picasso, Matisse, and Braque. A year later she married German artist and Baron, Otto von Waetjen. With the onset of World War I, Laurencin found herself exiled from France by association with her German husband, and spent the subsequent years in Spain. In 1921 Laurencin divorced von Waetjen and returned to Paris. During the 1920’s she continued to paint, but also worked as a set and costume designer for the Ballets Russes, among others. She gained popularity as a portrait painter, painting the likes of Coco Chanel, Helena Rubinstein, Lady Cunard, and Madame André Derain. World War II brought further turmoil to Paris, and Laurencin’s apartment was requisitioned by the Germans. She continued to work through it all, teaching at art schools and illustrating books, until her death in 1956. While Laurencin exhibited with the cubists, her work shows the softer influence of fauvism as well. Drawn to female subjects, ethereal lines, and magical animal metamorphism, Laurencin explored the theme of femininity throughout her career as evidenced here in Femme en Jupe Multicolore.

These Terms and Conditions of Sale and all other contents of this catalog are subject to amendment during or before the sale. The property will be offered by the Jackson Hole Art Auction as agent for the consignors, unless the catalogue indicates otherwise. 1.
Jackson Hole Art Auction operates as an agent of the seller only. It is not responsible in the event any buyer or seller at the auction fails to live up to their respective agreements, including failure of the seller to deliver any property to buyers. The Jackson Hole Art Auction assumes no risk, liability, or responsibility beyond the limited warranty contained herein. a.
All property is sold “AS IS.” There are no representations or warranties that extend beyond these Terms and Conditions of Sale. All works shall be available for examination prior to the sale. The Jackson Hole Art Auction, and its agents and consignors, make no representations or warranties as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, correctness of the catalogue or description, including, but not limited to, the authenticity, the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, dates, exhibitions, literary or historical relevance of any property, and, no statement anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Nor are there any representations and warranties, express or implied, as to whether the purchaser acquires any copyrights, including, but not limited to, any reproduction rights in any property. Contents of this catalogue are subject to change or supplementation before or during the sale, including the sale of any lot.
2.
Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size, and whether or not it has been repaired or restored.
3.
A buyer’s premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. If paying by cash or check, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer’s premium of 17% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including $500,000, 15% of the excess of the final bid price above $500,000, and 12% of the excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000, plus any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges. The buyer’s premium is calculated separately for each lot. If paying by credit card, the purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus a buyer’s premium of 20% of the final bid price for each lot up to and including $500,000, 18% of the excess of the final bid price above $500,000, and 15% of the excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000, plus any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges.
4.
The Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to withdraw any property before or during the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
5.
Except as may be announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalogue.
6.
The Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser, subject to reserves. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or to reoffer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Jackson Hole Art Auction’s sale record shall be final and conclusive. The Jackson Hole Art Auction, in its discretion, may execute orders or absentee bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at the auction; however, the Jackson Hole Art Auction is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.
7.
If the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, determines that any bid is below the reserve of the article offered, he or she may reject the same and withdraw the article from sale, and, if having acknowledged an opening or other bid, the auctioneer decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he or she may reject the advance.
8.
On the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel, the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer assumes full risk and responsibility for the offered lot, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, and is immediately obligated to pay the full purchase price or such parts thereof as the Jackson Hole Art Auction may then require. All sales are final, and there shall be no exchanges or returns. Payment shall be made by cash, check, wire transfer, Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. (See, paragraph 3 above: “If paying by credit card . . .”) In addition to other remedies available to us by law, the Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to impose, from the date of sale, a late charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) of the total purchase price, if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. a.
All property must be removed by the purchaser at his or her expense not later than (10) business days following the sale, and if it is not so removed, (i) a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale (until its removal) will be payable to us by the purchaser, with a minimum of 5% of the total purchase price due for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale, and (ii) we may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the purchaser.
b.
If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser, the purchaser will be in default, and in addition to any and all other
— 228 —
remedies available to the Jackson Hole Art Auction and its agents and consignors by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, including all fees, charges, and expenses set forth herein, the Jackson Hole Art Auction, at its sole option, may (i) cancel the sale of that, or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting purchaser, or (ii) resell the purchased property, whether at auction or by private sale, or (iii) effect any combination thereof. The purchaser will be liable for any deficiency, any and all costs, handling charges, late charges, expenses, and commissions of both sales, legal fees, and expenses, collection fees, and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted and assigned the property or money to the Jackson Hole Art Auction or its agents and consignors or any of their affiliated companies, and the Jackson Hole Art Auction may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due. The Jackson Hole Art Auction and its agents and consignors shall have all of the rights accorded to a secured party under the Wyoming Uniform Commercial Code. The purchaser of each lot agrees that each lot is unique and that the Jackson Hole Art Auction, in its sole discretion, shall not be required to sell or otherwise seek to mitigate damages should such purchaser fail to pay the total purchase price. Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until the Jackson Hole Art Auction shall have collected good funds. The Jackson Hole Art Auction reserves the right to hold all purchases pending collection of the total purchase price. 9.
All lots are subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price acceptable of the consignor. In such instances, the Jackson Hole Art Auction may implement the reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor. In instances where the Jackson Hole Art Auction has an interest in the lot, it may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. The Jackson Hole Art Auction, or its agents or consignors, may also bid upon other property listed in this catalogue.
10. Jackson Hole Art Auction is the owner of images of each lot offered for sale and may use such images for its own archival purposes, as well as for advertising and publicity in connection with this or future sales by the Jackson Hole Art Auction. 11. Unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be required to pay all applicable state and local sales, gross receipts, and compensation tax. Proof of exemption in the form of a current Non-Taxable Transaction Certificate must be provided at registration. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to pay any applicable compensating use tax of another state on the total purchase price. 12. These Terms and Conditions of Sale, together with the parties’ respective rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to Wyoming rules concerning conflicts of law. 13. Prospective bidders and purchasers agree that, in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to a sale of property, the party asserting such controversy or claim shall provide written notice thereof to the other party, and that any such controversy or claim not settled within fourteen (14) days of delivery of notice by the other party, including any controversy or claim arising from or relating to the sale, or to these Terms and Conditions of Sale, including the terms of this paragraph, shall be resolved and settled by binding arbitration in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, or such other place upon which the parties may agree, in writing; such arbitration shall be pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; the award, which shall include costs of arbitration and an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, shall be final, and the judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 14. The Jackson Hole Art Auction may, in its discretion and at a purchaser’s request, package and ship items as directed by the purchaser. In such event, purchaser agrees to the following conditions: a.
All such packaging, handling and shipping is at the sole risk of the purchaser, and the Jackson Hole Art Auction shall have no liability for any loss or damage to such items.
