Jackson Hole Art Auction Catalog 2023 by Art Gallery Publication

CELEBRATING THE LEGACY OF A TRUE VISIONARY

On July 4, 2023 we lost William “Bill” Kerr, a true visionary in the world of art. Along with his wife Joffa, Bill was one of the ten founding Trustees of the National Museum of Wildlife Art. He leaves behind a rich and indelible legacy through the museum’s impeccably curated collection, the countless relationships he forged and the many artists that he inspired and supported though his patronage.

When the museum opened its doors in 1987, the Kerr’s vast personal collection of wildlife art formed the core of the institution’s permanent collection, anchored by what is now the largest body of work by Carl Rungius in the United States. Today, it is the only official wildlife art museum in this country and stands as a testament of the Kerr’s vision, philanthropy and dedication to preserving our natural world through artistic excellence.

In recognition of Bill Kerr’s enduring impact on the museum and the Jackson art community as a whole, Trailside Galleries and Gerald Peters Gallery, partners in the Jackson Hole Art Auction, are pleased to donate a portion of the September 2023 auction sales to help further the mission of the museum to foster and inspire our connections with wildlife and nature.

“Nature is as fragile as it is fierce. Our institution holds and cares for some of humankind’s most thoughtful and spirited portrayals of the natural world as we have known it. That is a legacy we have the opportunity to embellish and preserve.”

– Bill Kerr

“I love the secret places that wildlife inhabit. The mysterious and misty waterfalls that lie deep in the forests and woods, captivate me to this day. Black bears are just a few of my favorite animals to portrait.

Often referred to as the Storyteller of the Native American, Howard Terpning’s realistic paintings are among the most sought after and acclaimed images ever produced of Native American traditions, customs, and history. Deep dedication to the accurate, compassionate and insightful depiction of Native American culture is masterfully rendered in his historical works.

Born in Oak Park, IL in 1927, he attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Art and the American Academy of Art. He worked in commercial art in Chicago before moving to New York City where he had a successful career as an illustrator for popular magazines and movie posters.

Terpning moved to Tucson, Arizona in 1977 to document Native American culture and the American West. In 1979, he was elected to the National Academy of Western Art and the Cowboy Artists of America. Over the last five decades, his work has garnered every top award in Western art including several Gold Medals from the Cowboy Artists of America, two Prix De West Purchase Awards from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the Hubbard Award for Excellence and the Autry National Center of the American West’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Describing this painting, the artist wrote, “The figures and horses on the hide tell the story of this Plain Indian’s many war exploits. His war shield has powerful medicine and is a symbol of his belief in its power. The lance is a weapon with which he is proud to pose.”

HERMANN HERZOG (1832–1932)

Landscape with Waterfall and Angler, 1868

oil on canvas

28 ⅜ x 42 ⅜ inches signed and dated lower left: H Herzog 1868

Born 1832 in Bremen, Germany, Hermann Herzog began his studies in 1948 at the famed Düsseldorf Academy. Deeply influenced by his teachers, who urged him to travel in search of scenic beauty and inspiration, he trained while traveling extensively throughout Europe. His travels led him to paint sweeping Romantic landscapes, depicting unique views of fjords, lakes, waterfalls and mountains.

Herzog exhibited paintings in Germany and France, winning a prize at the Paris Salon in 1863. Distinguished patrons of his work included Queen Victoria, the Grand Duke Alexander of Russia and other members of royalty. While still living in Germany, Herzog sent paintings to the Pennsylvania Academy’s annual exhibitions from 1863 to 1869, establishing an American market for his work.

After immigrating to the United States in 1869, he settled in Philadelphia and traveled widely throughout the eastern United States, painting landscape scenes of Niagara Falls, the Chesapeake Bay, New Hampshire’s White Mountains and the Maine coast.

By the mid 1870s he ventured west and discovered the rugged, mountainous landscapes of Utah, Oregon and California’s Yosemite Valley. Throughout his career, he remained steadfast in his romantic view of the world, his canvases painted in a polished, realistic manner, imbued with luminous light.

Today his work can be found in several museum collections, including the Smithsonian’s American Art Museum, the Farnsworth Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming. Hermann Herzog continued to paint until his death in 1932 at the age of 99.

128 CARL RUNGIUS (1869–1959)

Caribou

oil on canvas

47 x 49 ½ inches

signed lower right: C. Rungius

Widely recognized as the premier painter of North American wildlife, Carl Rungius was born in Germany in 1869 and classically trained at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin. He first came to North America in 1894 on a hunting trip to Maine and stayed on to spend the following summer hunting in Wyoming.

Those experiences, along with the opportunity to study and sketch animals at the Bronx Zoo, led to a highly successful career as an illustrator for the leading outdoor publications of the day. By 1904, however, Rungius had ceased illustrating entirely to work full time as a studio artist.

That same year, naturalist Charles Sheldon invited Rungius on a four-month expedition to the Yukon where he first witnessed caribou in the wild. Rungius would later observe even more caribou after 1910 when he started traveling to Banff, Alberta, Canada. Banff became a second home for Rungius, where he built a house and studio known as “The Paintbox.” At this point, caribou began to appear regularly as subjects in his paintings.

Painted circa 1925-1930, Caribou showcases Rungius’s strong sense of design, coupled with his knowledge of anatomy, born of years of experience in the field. His expressive handling of the subject makes the animals one with both the landscape depicted and the compositions in which they are placed. The painting is bold and vigorous in color and brushwork. Rungius sets the caribou in a snowy landscape juxtaposed against a blue sky and a background of a sunlit pinkish hillside.

The painting has been in a prominent New York family collection and has never been exhibited to the public (aside from when it was sold ca. 1930 at Arthur H. Harlow & Co., Inc, New York, NY (label verso)).

This work will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné, currently being prepared by Adam Duncan Harris, Ph.D., Grainger/Kerr Director of the Carl Rungius Catalogue Raisonné.

CARL BRENDERS (1937– )

Lookout Tower, Timberwolves, 2009

mixed media on board

43 ¼ x 31 ¾ inches signed and dated lower left: © Brenders 2009

Born near Antwerp, Belgium in 1937, Carl Brenders has drawn since childhood. He studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp and later at Berchem. His love for all creatures is evident in his masterful attention to detail. Brenders’ insistence on anatomical perfection in his paintings stems from his philosophy that nature, itself, is perfection. A dedicated conservationist, Brenders has raised awareness for environmental and conservation causes through his art, which enjoys international acclaim.

Of his painting Lookout Tower - Timberwolves he says: “Why are most people so fascinated with wolves? If one looks at these four wolves on a cliff, the harmony of their colors and wonderful proportions of their bodies, as well as the resemblance to our dear German Shepherds and Huskies, explains everything. The teamwork in their hunting strategy has fascinated many biologists and naturalists. It is the same for most dog species like the Wild Dogs in Africa and the Dingoes in Australia, to name a few. Just like lions hunting in groups, the wolves can lay down big prey like moose, elk and caribou. Even a bear isn’t safe facing a big pack of wolves. One might wonder why wolves are so shy of humans. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is still in people’s minds. This fairy tale gave the wolf a bad reputation. Wolves avoid humans, as humans are their worst enemy.”

He adds: “The inspiration for this painting came when I flew back to Europe after a wonderful field work trip (hunting with my camera). As I am unable to sleep in planes, I often make sketches for future paintings. With a ball-point pen and a little sheet of paper, one sketch was enough to create this painting. The scenery in this painting is typical of Western America with Lodgepole Pine and Rocky Mountain Maple. I mostly paint not what I have seen, but what I dream of seeing in the wild. This painting was done as a celebration for the success of the reintroduction of the wolves in Yellowstone National Park. As a wolf-lover, I am thankful to the people who worked hard to reintroduce the wolf into Yellowstone National Park. A wild area like this isn’t complete without this wonderful predator.”

The best time to paint was just as the convection was getting started in the late morning and early afternoon; the rising cumulus clouds casting beautiful patterns of shadows on the jagged peaks, forcing some ridges into stark relief against the bright clouds, and illuminating others in the warm glow of the direct sun. The true depth and scale of the mountains was greatly accentuated by such high contrast. But not for long. As the storms continued to rise, they would eventually blow over and bathe the high country in a high overcast.” — Mark Boedges

My heart was full, of both happiness and sorrow; grateful to be alive, mournful for those who lost their precious lives. As I sat, thankful for all of God’s gifts in my life, a band of six bighorn sheep fed within feet of me, and then bedded down. This incredible scene that lay before me spoke to my soul; the title of the forthcoming painting was like a sweet, still voice.” — Luke Frazier

Feeding the Dogs (Hunting Musk Ox: Feeding Sledge Dogs in the Barren Grounds), 1895-1896

oil en grisaille on canvas

22 ⅛ x 20 inches

signed lower right: Frederic Remington

Born in 1861, in Canton, NY, Frederic Remington was the son of Seth Pierre Remington, a newspaper publisher, and Clara Sackrider Remington.1 He studied at the Yale School of Fine Arts from 1878 – 1879, but following the death of his father in 1880, he did not return to school, opting instead to work as a reporter for the Albany Morning Express. Later that summer, he vacationed and sketched in the Montana Territory, one of which was published in the Harper’s Weekly of February 25, 1882.2 He continued to sketch during travels through the New Mexico and Arizona Territories as well as Texas over the next two years.

By 1887, Remington’s illustrations were regularly published in the various Harper’s publications (Bazaar, Monthly, Weekly, Young People) in addition to Scribner’s, Collier’s, and Century, among others. His works were exhibited widely: at The National Academy of Design, the American Watercolor Society, Boston Arts Club, the 1889 Paris International Exposition (he won the silver medal for his painting Last Lull in the Fight, now lost), the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He continued to travel extensively throughout the Western States and territories, Canada, and Mexico, with additional excursions to Florida, Cuba, Europe, and Algiers. Beginning in the 1880s, his travels included time at Crow and Blackfeet Indian reservations, the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma), the battlegrounds of Little Bighorn (July 1876) and Wounded Knee (December 1890), and Buffalo Bill Cody’s ranch in Wyoming. He made his last trip West in September of 1908 and died at his home in Ridgefield, CT in December 1909.

Remington’s work can be divided into several categories, and this current example belongs to the most prolific of Remington’s oeuvre: illustrations. In the late 1880s and 1890s, these were primarily done en grisaille for easy reproduction in publications. Feeding the Dogs belongs to the artist’s mature painting style, where the tightly rendered compositions of his earlier work had developed into more modeled figures and lively, fluid scenes.3 The circular arrangement of the figure and the four dogs in the foreground is repeated several times, two dogs and a figure are visible in the middle ground and three additional figures and their dogs are arranged around the lodge in the background. The piece of food suspended between the primary figure’s outstretched arm and the two dogs leaping towards it and the raised whip of one of the other men convey a sense of action within the scene.

In December 1895, Harper’s Monthly began publishing Caspar W. Whitney’s “On Snow-Shoes to the Barren Grounds.” The article spanned five issues, all accompanied by illustrations. Three main illustrations by Remington were included in each issue, the current example is the penultimate work for the end of the story. Whitney’s story describes his adventure to hunt in the Barren Grounds (or Barren Lands), an approximately 200,000-square-mile-area in northern Canada. The tundra region is nearly uninhabited and, at the time, accessible only by canoe during the summer months and by sled and snowshoe the rest of the year. The latter allowed better access to the area to hunt muskox.4

In a letter to Owen Wister (historian and writer of Western fiction,1860 – 1938) in October 1895, the artist noted that he was working on illustrations for Whitney’s Harper’s Monthly article. A second letter from Whitney to the artist on December 7, 1895, acknowledged that Whitney was pleased with the work and asked for additional illustrations. Since it is unclear if Remington had finished in December or was still working on the project in early 1896, the catalogue raisonne dates the current example and other illustrations for the story published in the February, March, and April issues with a date range of 1895 – 1896.5

signed lower left: J clymer

verso: titled (Buffalo Killers)

During his long and very successful artistic career, John Clymer developed a highly effective process for painting the history of the American West. Along with his wife Doris, he would thoroughly research the subject of each painting and gather all of the critical visual elements in a particular scene. No detail was spared, from the setting of the subject, the climate and weather of the area and the historic period of time. Once the research was completed, they would both travel to the proposed site for the painting, thus getting a firsthand feeling for the area. This painstaking process resulted in paintings that are not only rich in accurate historical detail but which also meticulously capture the essence of their geographical settings. Clymer was adept at recreating historical events while at the same time drawing the viewer into the physical scene.

By the time Clymer joined the Cowboy Artists of America organization in 1969 he had already achieved a highly successful career as both an illustrator and easel painter. Clymer painted more than 70 cover illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post, many of them western scenes, thus bringing images and the lore of the West to thousands of Americans. Born in Ellensburg, Washington in 1907, he was particularly interested in depicting the history of the Pacific Northwest, creating sensitive and detailed depictions of Native Americans and their interactions with the white culture.

About the subject of buffalo hunting, Clymer wrote, “The Plains Indians were dependent upon the buffalo for nearly all of their needs, including the food they ate and the hides for their robes and their tipis. Everything was used, even the bones and sinew for tools and sewing. With horses the Indians could outrun the buffalo and were assured of an ample supply of food whenever buffalo could be located.”

Illustrating for magazines and calendars for more than 30 years and shifting to easel painting in 1970, Kuhn often depicted wildlife scenes and studies of his travels from Alaska to Africa. Bob Kuhn’s masterworks of wildlife art and the world he conjures confirm that, as Tom Davis wrote in his book, The Art of Bob Kuhn, he is simply without peer.

A name synonymous with excellence in wildlife art, Bob Kuhn was born in Buffalo, NY and educated at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY where he studied design, anatomy, and life-drawing. From 1940 to 1970 his illustrations were featured in the top outdoor magazines in the country, including Field and Stream, True, and Outdoor Life. Throughout his painting career, he made numerous expeditions to Africa, Canada, Alaska, and the American West. Primarily working in acrylic, Kuhn often painted simple backgrounds with horizontal bands of color and light. He also had an innate ability to capture the particular movements and personalities of wild animals.

During his illustrious career, Kuhn often returned to the subject of bighorn sheep, writing: “Wild sheep inhabit some pretty awesome sweeps of high country. To paint mountain sheep one must portray the lofty reaches of their habitat. I’m only a painter of mountains when my animal subjects haul me up to their otherwise inaccessible crags and alpine meadows.”

As a member of the Society of Animal Artists in New York, his works are featured in the permanent collections of many museums including the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, WY and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK, where he was awarded the coveted Prix De West Purchase Award in 1991.

verso: signed

“This painting is the sort I really love to do. It gives me a wonderful opportunity to play with textures and to establish a strong pattern within which all the various elements have their say. More than once I’ve made the comment that red fox are very paintable little critters. Having had a young vixen as a boarder many years ago, I feel I have an understanding of their vivacious, complex character. The traits that give them prominence in folklore make them great subjects for the likes of me.”

“The bison once roamed across most of North America in numbers that reached into the tens of millions. This great abundance provided many benefits to the Native cultures for food, clothing, and symbolic reverence. The thunder that shook the ground must have been deafening and awe inspiring. My painting depicts a herd on the move in the cold of winter, where these magnificent animals can always make their presence known. I tried to capture their physical dominance in action, in a setting that is a typical daily challenge for them.”

The painting “September Search” is set down in the hill country of south central Texas. Usually in Texas, July & August are tremendously hot & dry, which is why the grass in the foreground is so dry in color. In September, however, rains begin to return and it seems to turn everything around (especially “attitudes”). In a lot of areas where cattle have been grazed through the summer, cowboys go out to find where they are and see which need to be worked on again or moved to another place. All these things have come together in “September Search”. — Martin Grelle

Don Troiani is a traditional academic realist painter known for his highly accurate historical and military paintings of the American Civil War and American Revolution. Born in New York City in 1949, he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and New York City’s Art Students League, between 1967 and 1971. A lifelong military enthusiast, his personal library and artifact collections from the Civil War, the War of 1812, the American Revolutionary War and World War II, are amongst the greatest in the country. His vast collection of uniforms, equipage, insignia, and weapons contribute to the unique dimension of realism for which he is well known. Historical backdrops are studied first hand, often sending the artist hundreds of miles from home to examine battlefields and structures. Due to the meticulous research, it is often years between a painting’s conception and execution.

Born on the east coast, and raised in California, Henry Rankin Poore moved to New York in 1876. He studied for a year in the National Academy of Design Antique School, studied in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts under Peter Moran, traveled to New Mexico in 1882 to study and illustrate the Pueblo Indians for the U.S. government, and made a similar trip West at the end of the 1880s.

In 1883, after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Poore left for two and a half years to Europe, where his teachers included William-Adolphe Bouguereau. In England, he became enamored of fox hunting, and the depiction of hunting dogs became a standard subject for him.

After a second European trip to France and England in the early 1890s, Poore returned home to become professor of composition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1896, he married Katherine Goodnow Stevens, moved to Orange, New Jersey, and beginning around the turn of the century, Poore spent summers at the art colony at Old Lyme, Connecticut. He developed a new subject, hazy, soft landscapes without animals during this time. Poore published Pictorial Composition and the Critical Judgment of Pictures in 1903, which he described as a “handbook for students and lovers of art”. In it, he recommended both painters and photographers consider how to draw the viewer “into the picture” as he did.

DONALD JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING

The following Terms and Conditions of Sale constitute Jackson Hole Art Auction, LLC’s (“Jackson Hole Art Auction”) and its agents’ and consignors’ entire agreement with prospective bidders, bidders and purchasers relative to the property listed in this catalogue. 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 20% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including $1,000,000 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 $1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000, plus any applicable sales tax and shipping and handling charges, plus an additional credit card fee.

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 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

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.

SALES TAX

A recent Supreme Court ruling has led to changes nationwide regarding sales tax laws. In 2018 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against Wayfair in favor of the state of South Dakota regarding the state’s right to collect sales tax on online purchases from a business without a physical presence in that state. This decision changed the existing status quo and has created a precedent for other states to collect sales tax from businesses without a physical presence in their state.

The new laws vary from state to state and require all businesses (not just auction houses) to collect sales tax if they meet a given state’s threshold for an economic nexus. An economic nexus is used in place of a physical presence in the state and can be met by either a total sales amount limit into that state or a total number of individual transactions into that state.

Currently the Jackson Hole Art Auction has met the threshold for an economic nexus in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Washington, and Wyoming. If the purchaser is shipping to any of these states, the Jackson Hole Art Auction is required by law to add the appropriate state and local sales tax to the purchaser’s invoice.

The following states do not currently have sales tax and/or applicable economic nexus laws, and as a result the Jackson Hole Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon.

Due to the variable nature of auction sales, and the small window in which they occur, the Jackson Hole Art Auction does not yet know if the states not listed above will require sales tax collection, as that will be determined by the total dollar amount sold into each state—which cannot be predicted. The Jackson Hole Art Auction will be tracking these totals live during the sale using tax software, and will strive to inform the purchaser at the time of invoicing if sales tax collection is required; however, it may be necessary to bill for sales tax post-sale if the threshold for an economic nexus in the purchaser’s state is met after the purchaser has paid.

Even if the Jackson Hole Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from the purchaser’s state, unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be required to pay all applicable state and local sales, gross receipts, and compensation tax per the terms and conditions.

If the purchaser has a valid resale certificate, the purchaser will not be required to pay sales tax. Please provide a copy of this certificate at the time of registration for tax compliance.
