After study at the Art Institute of Chicago and work as a commercial artist, he returned to Germany in 1905 to study the art of color woodcut for a year. He again supported himself as a commercial artist, but upon winning the Gold Medal for printmaking at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, Baumann was asked to organize the first exhibition of American woodcut prints at the Art Institute of Chicago. After spending time at artist colonies in Brown County, Indiana, and Provincetown, Massachusetts, he moved to Taos in 1918 and then settled in Santa Fe, where he was an active participant in the art community and was also the regional coordinator for the Public Works of Art Project of the WPA in 1934. Among his many accomplishments, Baumann became a fellow of the School of American Research (now the School of Advanced Research) in 1952.

27 SHELDON PARSONS (1866-1943) Camino del Rio, Santa Fe oil on canvas 30 x 24 inches signed lower right: PARSONS Sheldon Parsons' talent for portraiture, the genre for which he was best known early in his career, emerged while he was still a student at the National Academy of Design, and a successful New York career seemed imminent.

These plans changed when, following his wife’s death in 1913, Parsons and his young daughter Sara sold their possessions and traveled to Denver, Colorado, where Parsons suffered a relapse of tuberculosis and was advised by doctors to seek New Mexico's dry, arid climate. Parsons was given a warm welcome by Santa Fe citizens eager to trade the necessities of life for his paintings. As the artist recovered his health, he began painting landscapes, which had previously been a longstanding interest of his. Absorbed with the color and light of his new environment, he recorded the town, nearby Indian Pueblos, and the imposing New Mexico desert and mountains. Parsons eventually became a well-known landscape artist, accommodating his early Barbizon and Impressionist training to the light-drenched scenery of the Southwest. Also serving as an early administrator at the Museum of New Mexico, he aided many later arrivals to the artistic community of Santa Fe.

33 FREMONT ELLIS (1897-1985) Breath of Spring oil on canvas 16 x 20 inches signed lower right: FREMONT ELLIS inscribed verso: “BREATH OF SPRING” stamped verso: Rights to reproduce or copy restricted / to the Artist FREMONT F. ELLIS Born in the mining town of Virginia City, Montana, Fremont Ellis traveled regularly with his parents during his early years. A childhood visit to the Metropolitan Museum, where he was struck especially by Albert Bierstadt's work, convinced Ellis that he wanted to pursue art as a career.

However, the seeming practicality of the medical profession prevailed initially, and Ellis studied optometry as a young man. His only formal art training came with a brief term at the Art Students League. During a 1919 visit to Santa Fe, Ellis, aged twenty-one, decided to trade security for the uncertainties of a career spent interpreting Southwest landscapes with a brush and paint. Once in Santa Fe, he and four friends founded Los Cinco Pintores, and for sixty-five subsequent years Ellis recorded the landscapes and people of New Mexico in rhythmic, light-charged canvases, of which Breath of Spring is an excellent example.

59 HELEN CORDERO (1915-1994) Storyteller polychrome ceramic 9 x 9 x 5 ½ inches inscribed underside: HELEN CORDERO / COCHITI. N MEX. Cochiti Pueblo artist Helen Cordero created the first storyteller figure in 1964 as a tribute to her grandfather, who had been a storyteller at the Pueblo years earlier. The subsequent iconic storyteller figures have grown in popularity across the southwest since Cordero’s initial creation rose to prominence.

The ceramic sculptures typically feature a seated adult figure, which is portrayed in the midst of an animated narrative, as evidenced by a wide-open mouth. Children alternately climb on limbs, cling to the back, or nestle peacefully in the storyteller’s lap, lulled either into dreamy repose or excited into action by the storyteller’s oration.

Cordero’s ceramic figures left a lasting impact on ceramic arts, not only in her Pueblo of Cochiti, but throughout the Pueblos of the Rio Grande Valley and beyond. These intricately sculpted artworks have become some of the most sought-after Native American art objects of the latter half of the 20th century.

Cordero proved to be the matron in a long line of Cochiti artists; today, her children and grandchildren continue the tradition of creating these treasured figures.

60 BERT GEER PHILLIPS (1868-1956) Corn Dance, Santo Domingo, NM (triptych), ca. 1920s oil on board 4 x 6 inches (each) signed (each): PHILLIPS label affixed verso: Salmagundi Club / Thumb-box Exhibition / Artist: BERT G. PHILLIPS / CORN DANCE: SANTO DOMINGO / Group of 3, $300.00 A Taos Art Colony founder, New York-born Bert Geer Phillips excelled at portraying Native American subjects in nature, with figures appearing grounded organically within a recognizable Taos-area landscape. While many of his most recognizable artworks portray exactly this scene— a lone Native figure crouched beside a majestic lake or wandering through a forest of golden aspens— in Corn Dance, Santo Domingo Pueblo, NM, Phillips also proves himself adept at capturing the immense detail, complexity, and nuance of a major Pueblo ceremonial. Astonishingly, this intricate scene is captured in miniature format.

Tiny figures adorned in ceremonial attire buzz in the organized chaos of this annual feast day dance, which still takes place every summer at Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico. Bert Phillips would have been one of many visitors to the dance, which, along with other Pueblo ceremonials during this time, drew large crowds of artists, newly-arrived New Mexico residents, and tourists with the promotion of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. This artistic rendering of Santo Domingo’s annual feast day was exhibited in the New York-based Salagmundi Art Club’s annual fundraiser Thumb-box exhibition. According to club archives, Phillips joined in 1911, and exhibited at the club from 1915-1933, which dates this artwork within that timeframe.

When a horse drops his head, it signifies he is relaxed and at ease; this scene thus conveys a strong sense of peace and calm, and for that reason represents a somewhat different perspective than the typical action shots of horses. I also was impressed by the nobility of these animals.

They are strong and powerful and these two in particular seemed to have a depth of character to them.” – George Paliotto Provenance: The Artist $5,000 - $7,000

Now many of my paintings of the great ceremonials are in museums and scattered parts of the world. Yet it is as exciting today to paint these beautiful people as it was when I started. Painting has been my life so long I don’t believe I could live without it.”1 1

Working alternately as a house painter, a painter for the Milwaukee Road Railroad, and as a photographer, Holm went on to establish the eponymous portrait photography studio Snesrud and Holm Photography. Best known for his 1894 painting, Tornado Over St. Paul, which now resides at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Holm was an artist with little or no artistic training who, though not prolific, painted scenes of regional significance. These artworks are of interest to collectors both because of their rarity, and also because of their simplistic, folk-like aesthetics.

SHARP inscribed verso: LORENZO MARTINEZ - TAOS / (“BULL BREATH”) / One of four brothers - all were / Governors of the Pueblo Few American artists have ever approached the success or mastery with which Joseph Henry Sharp chronicled the native people and ways of the American Southwest.

Although Sharp painted in many parts of the world, including Europe, Hawaii and Asia, it is the work that he did among the Native populations of New Mexico and Montana for which he is especially known and honored.

His portraits and paintings of Native Americans are not only appreciated for their extraordinary artistry, but also have long been used as a source for anthropological insight into various facets of the lives of their subjects.

Sharp was born in Bridgeport, Ohio, in 1859. Like many young men who grew up in the years after the Civil War, he developed an interest in Native communities of the American Southwest. Sharp made his first visit to southeastern Montana in 1899. The artistic fruits of this journey were exhibited to great acclaim at the Paris Exposition of 1900. In 1901 President Theodore Roosevelt, an admirer of Sharp's work, directed his Indian Commission to build the artist a studio at the Crow Indian Agency on the site of the Custer battlefield. Sharp is the only artist ever to have been honored in this way by the United States government, and paintings from this commission hold a special place in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Sharp first visited the small village of Taos, New Mexico in 1893. Not long after, while in Paris, he extolled the virtues of this small town to the young artists Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Phillips, setting into motion events that would lead to the founding of the Taos Art Colony. As a result, Sharp is generally considered to be the founder of this group; he subsequently built a permanent home and studio in Taos during the early years of the twentieth century.

129 ALBERT BIERSTADT (1830-1902) Source of the Snake River oil on paper mounted on canvas 14 x 19 inches signed lower right: ABierstadt inscribed verso: Source of the Snake River Idaho Albert Bierstadt embarked on his first trip west in early 1859, when he was elected a civilian artist on a government expedition which set out to improve the wagon roads of the South Pass from Fort Kearny, Nebraska, to the eastern border of California. By the middle of the year, Bierstadt was following the same steps taken by Alfred Jacob Miller twenty two years earlier, traversing the Oregon Trail. Along the way, he met and sketched thousands of discouraged gold seekers and immigrants. In late summer, he returned east and began turning his sketches into large-scale canvases. Included among some of these earlier scenes were Chimney Rock, Fort Laramie and Laramie Park.

Bierstadt's second trip, this time to the far west, took place in 1863. He traveled with his friend Fitz Ludlow, whose wife, Rosalie, later became Bierstadt's wife. They spent several weeks in Yosemite Valley beyond the Sierra Nevada, eventually traveling up into Oregon. By 1864, scarcely five years after painting his first Rocky Mountain picture, Bierstadt was the most highly acclaimed American painter, rivaling Frederick Church.

Bierstadt was known to have composed pictures from sketches. Adopting a style that was not literal in its presentation of the terrain, yet retained a conceptual integrity of form, Bierstadt incorporated both the real and the ideal into his artworks. He fused the metaphysical and the physical into a luminous realism, as is evidenced in Source of the Snake River, which stands out as a fine example of one of Bierstadt’s exquisite smaller landscapes.

140 E. MARTIN HENNINGS (1886-1956) In Taos Canyon oil on canvas 20 x 24 inches signed lower right: E. Martin Hennings The member of the Taos Society upon whom the region had the most noticeable impact was arguably E. Martin Hennings. The surfaces of Hennings’ bright, sun-drenched landscapes, rendered with a thick yet meticulous brushstroke, have a tactile quality not unlike those of Victor Higgins. Yet, his commitment to detail and use of dramatic shadows affect a degree of hyperrealism. Frozen in the moment, Hennings’ cowboys and Indians, and even his own children, seem like fixed inhabitants of a timeless world.

Hennings was born to German immigrants in Penns Grove, New Jersey in 1886.

At the age of two, his family moved to Chicago, which then served as the primary metropolitan link between the East and West Coasts. Hennings was drawn towards Chicago’s bustling art community, which was then centered around the Chicago Art Institute. After his first visit to the Art Institute as a teenager, Hennings knew his life had been profoundly changed, boldly proclaiming: “I know what I’m going to do; I’m going to be an artist.”1 Upon finishing high school, Hennings enrolled in the Art Institute, graduating with honors in 1904. He continued studying there until 1906, and returned briefly in 1912, disillusioned by his experiences in the commercial art world and longing for more intensive study. Although he failed to win a European scholarship in the prestigious Prix de Rome competition (he finished second), he traveled to Germany and entered the Munich Academy. While in Munich, he kept company

with fellow Americans Walter Ufer and Victor Higgins, both of whom he had known from his Art Institute days. Forced to leave Germany on account of World War I, Hennings returned to Chicago in 1915.

As Hennings’ reputation as an artist grew, he attracted the patronage of some of Chicago’s most respected citizens, including former Mayor Carter Harrison and Oscar Mayer, the meat-packing mogul. In 1917, Harrison suggested that Hennings work in Taos for a season, with the guarantee that any paintings executed would be acquired. Despite the profound impression that Taos had on Hennings, he did not settle in the town immediately; that winter he returned to Chicago, where he continued to work for several more years.

After careful consideration of several different artists’ colonies on the East Coast, Hennings made Taos his permanent home in 1923. Already well acquainted with Ufer and Higgins, Hennings was invited to join the Taos Society of Artists later that year. A peaceable man with an appetite for intellectual stimulation, Hennings remained an active member of the Society until it disbanded in 1927.

151 HORACIO VALDEZ (1929-1992) La Muerte Death Cart polychrome carved wood 53 x 50 x 32 inches initialed: HV inscribed front: HERMANIDAD / DE / NUESTRO PADRE JESUS Renowned folk artist Horacio Valdez is best known for his expertly carved Santos—figures that embody the artistic expression of faith in his home state of New Mexico. After a nearly fatal injury in the mid-1970s that crushed his right hand, Valdez transitioned from his first career— carpentry— to wood carving, noting, “I couldn’t hold a hammer…but I could whittle.”1 The artist’s expert and nuanced handling of wood carving are evident in this, and various other Penitente death carts, some of which are held in major museum collections in both the U.S. and abroad. This particular death cart was exhibited in the U.S. and Europe between October 5, 1986 and May 29, 1988 in an exhibition entitled Beyond Tradition: Contemporary American Folk Art, organized by the Katonah Gallery (now the Katonah Museum of Art) in Katonah, New York.

The death cart is traditionally used in acts of penance performed by the Penitente Brotherhoods of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. An important and sacred object used in the Good Friday performative rituals of the Brotherhood, the cart contains La Muerte, a commanding figure reminding viewers of the ever-present specter of death. The arrow she holds aligns her

S A N TA F E A R T AU C T I O N

with the iconography of Saint Sebastian, and she is known alternately as Nuestra comadre Sebastiana or Our good friend Sebastiana.2 Author Jim Sagel asserts, “Horacio’s women of death, for all their realistic horrific details, are not hideous. In fact, their fleshless features somehow verge on the sublime. There is something here that’s also apparent in the soft face of the Guadalupana.”3 Valdez’s stark aesthetic indeed jolts viewers into a contemplation of mortality and harkens to one of the most prominent religious groups indigenous to the American Southwest both historically, and in the modern era. ¹ Museum of American Folk Art, Folk Art Magazine 17, no. 4 (Winter 1992/93): 30.

154 GEORGIA O’KEEFFE (1887-1986) No. 36 - Special (Nicotine Flower), 1920 watercolor on paper 15 ½ x 11 ¼ inches Among Georgia O’Keeffe’s earliest flower paintings are a delicate series of watercolors of red cannas dating to 1918-1920. Lyrical and loose, these red flowers float, unanchored against white backgrounds and appear inspired by Japanese painting or calligraphy. They precede O’Keeffe’s more literal and naturalistic flower and seaweed studies in watercolor of 1920 to which No. 36 – Special (The Nicotine Flower) belongs. The influence of her mentor, Arthur Wesley Dow (1857-1922), a radical educator and theorist who advocated eastern design principles, is marked in all of these early flower paintings.

Simultaneously during this period, O’Keeffe experimented in abstraction, making advances into non-objective imagery and assigning nonreferential titles to her works such as Series I, No. 7 or No. 17 – Special. In almost all of these works of this early period, natural objects found in the environments she explored around Lake George, New York or York Beach, Maine were used as her primary jumping off points. She seemed to almost delight in the notion of abstracting nature – both visually in her imagery and verbally in her titles – all the while training her eye and hand to dig deeper into the often overlooked and nonverbal qualities of nature.

No. 36 – Special, alternately identified as The Nicotine Flower, was executed very early on in the artist’s career – 1920. Its placement in the center of the paper is reminiscent of O’Keeffe’s earliest watercolor paintings of red cannas which are decidedly looser. Intensely scrutinized as a naturalist might illustrate, the leaves and flowers emerge from the center of the composition as if growing out of the paper in graceful billows and curves, thereby losing their natural context. The attention to detail and O’Keeffe’s emphasis upon the naturally occurring design elements reflect the lessons of Dow as well as the lasting influence of Art Nouveau upon O’Keeffe’s ubiquitous floral production, which was quite marked at this early juncture. Another indirect influence on O’Keeffe's botanical studies may have been her connection and friendship with Charles Demuth, an auxiliary member of the Stiegltiz circle who became known for his elegant and refined botanical studies in watercolor executed throughout the 1920s. Interestingly however, Demuth’s watercolors of plants and fruit left O’Keeffe somewhat cool and she found them dispassionate.1 Paradoxically, while O’Keeffe’s botanical study against white is indeed formidable, it has a marked delicacy and intimacy that many contemporary critics might have problematically described as “feminine.”

Coming out of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s collection of fine prints and drawings, No. 36 – Special, The Nicotine Flower is an early gem

by O’Keeffe that is a decisive step in her development as America’s most famous flower painter.

159 RAYMOND JONSON (1891-1982) The Night, Chicago, 1921 oil on canvas 35 ⅜ x 41 inches inscribed verso: THE NIGHT CHICAGO / Raymond Jonson OIL 35 x 41 / 1921 Born in Iowa in 1891, Raymond Jonson is widely considered to be a master of 20th century abstract American art. Accordingly, Jonson is perhaps best known for abstract subjects, many of which he painted whilst associated with the Transcendental Painters Group, co-founded by Jonson and Emil Bisttram. Jonson spent a number of his young adult years in Chicago, gaining formal training with B.J.O. Nordfeldt at The Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, and later at The Art Institute of Chicago. Jonson worked for some time in Chicago— most notably as a set and lighting designer— prior to moving to New Mexico in 1924. Enjoying artistic success in his adopted home town of Santa Fe, Jonson embarked in 1934 on a hugely influential tenure as a professor of art at the University of New Mexico, where he remained until 1954.

While much of the artist’s renown came from his abstract subjects, Jonson did paint representational works as well. These representational works generally display a geometricized style that aligns them with a decidedly modern aesthetic, as evidenced in The Night, Chicago. The artist’s mastery of color and composition is apparent in a number of the artwork’s formal attributes. Foremost —the juxtaposition of light, smoke, and shadow providing the visual layers that comprise the cityscape; the flattened versus shaded blocks of bright color, invoking notions of space and distance; and the evocative hues of Art Deco-era Chicago, so vividly captured in this artwork —make The Night, Chicago a truly standout artwork in the artist’s oeuvre.

Andrew Dasburg was born in Paris in 1887, and spent his early childhood in Germany. He became acquainted with many figures of the French avant-garde when he returned to Paris in 1907. Through a friendship with Morgan Russell, one of Matisse’s American students, Dasburg gained entry to the master’s studio, where he discovered the expressive content of line by watching Matisse struggle to perfect a contour in a work in progress. He was enraptured with the work of Matisse, Renoir, the Cubists, and especially with Cézanne, who exerted the lasting effect upon Dasburg’s style evident here most notably in Untitled (Village Landscape). He once said that his life could be divided into two segments— the period before seeing Cézanne’s work and the period after.

Dasburg returned to the United States in 1910; within the following decade, he had followed friends Mabel Dodge and Maurice Sterne to Taos. He returned every year thereafter, until establishing a permanent residence there in 1930. As was the case with so many of his contemporaries, Dasburg’s new home only served to stimulate and enrich his artistic endeavors, with the artist finding new inspiration for his art in the countryside and people of the area.

In the 1930s, Dasburg stayed mostly in Santa Fe. His work was interrupted from 1935 to 1946 due to a debilitating illness. Yet many critics, including the late Henry McBride, and more recently, Sheldon Reich, feel that his late work— represented by each of the artworks offered in this sale— include some of his best pictures. Soft, spare, tonal landscapes suffused with poetic line and atmosphere abound in the final decades of Dasburg’s life.

One of the most original and talented, and certainly one of the most cosmopolitan artists to live in New Mexico, Andrew Dasburg stands even today as one of the earliest and greatest of American Modernist painters.

The rare exception to the artist’s long concentration on Maine subjects can be seen in Chama River, Abuquiu, a panorama that made a deep impression on Crotty when he visited New Mexico, circa 1987. The painting, a triptych, required almost twenty years to complete, and remains his most ambitious and remarkable landscape. It has always remained in the collection of a close friend of the artist and has never been displayed publicly until this sale.

In 1930, he abandoned the economic turmoil of New York in order to spend three months in Taos. The following year, Bisttram settled permanently in northern New Mexico and established the Taos School of Art. Throughout his career, Bisttram worked in a variety of styles— from realism to abstraction— and was a founder, alongside Raymond Jonson, of the New Mexico Transcendental Artists Group. Later in life, in addition to executing some of the largest and most vibrant works of his career, he served as president of the Taos Art Association and was appointed a member of the New Mexico Arts Commission.

198 CARL REDIN (1892-1944) Historic Panorama, Albuquerque, New Mexico, ca. 1920 oil on board 17 ¾ x 39 inches signed lower right: Carl Redin Swedish-born landscape painter Carl Redin arrived in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1916, seeking a sunny, dry, high-elevation climate to help reduce the symptoms of tuberculosis. This panoramic painting of Albuquerque, the Rio Grande Valley, and the volcano field to the west was completed shortly thereafter. The vantage point of the landscape appears to be from the present-day Spruce Park neighborhood, just west of the University of New Mexico campus. The buildings and smokestacks visible in the middle right-hand portion of the painting indicate the location of the St. Joseph’s Sanitarium, opened by the Sisters of Charity in 1902, and now the site of Lovelace Medical Center-Downtown. The east-west arroyo that appears in the painting’s center is the present-day site of Lomas Boulevard. The remnants of five cinder cone volcanoes, which are amongst Albuquerque’s most notable geological formations, are visible in the background.

Albuquerque Panorama is unique for its representation of the city on the brink of major expansion, and also for its inclusion of historic buildings that speak to Albuquerque’s role as a center for the treatment of tuberculosis during the early decades of the 20th century. We can further narrow the dating of this painting by noting the absence of Albuquerque’s first “skyscraper,” the nine-story First National Bank Building, which was constructed in 1922, giving us a likely timeframe of 1916-1922 for Redin’s creation of the artwork.

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE The following Terms and Conditions of Sale are the Santa Fe Art Auction Limited Co.’s (“Santa Fe Art Auction”) and its agents’ and consignors’ entire agreement with the prospective bidders, bidders and buyers relative to the lots listed in this catalogue. The lots will be offered by the Santa Fe Art Auction as agent for the consignors, unless the catalogue indicates otherwise.

1. The Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe 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 lots before bidding to determine condition, size and whether or not the lot has been repaired or restored and to investigate all other matters relating to the lot that is of material importance to the prospective bidder.

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. Unless exempted by law, the Buyer 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. In the event of deliveries outside the state, it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to pay any applicable compensating use tax of another state on the total purchase price. If a buyer requests that artwork be shipped to an address in New York State, we must collect New York sales tax due to an affiliated business located in New York City under recent legislation (Part P-1 of Chapter 57 of the Laws of 2009).

• Why Santa Fe Art Auction Collects Sales Tax: New Mexico requires a seller of goods to register with the New Mexico Department of Taxation and Revenue and collect and remit sales tax if the seller maintains a presence within the state. More specifically, tax laws require an auction house, like Santa Fe Art Auction, with a presence in New Mexico, to register as a sales tax collector, and remit sales tax collected to the state. Unless exempted, New Mexico sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property picked up or delivered in New Mexico, regardless of the state or country in which the purchaser resides or does business.

• Certain Exemptions: New Mexico allows for specified exemptions to its sales tax. For example, a registered re-seller such as a registered art dealer may purchase without incurring a tax liability, and Santa Fe Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from such re-seller. As sales tax laws vary from state to state, Santa Fe Art Auction recommends that clients with questions regarding the application of sales or use taxes to property purchased at auction seek tax advice from their local tax advisors.

5. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or during the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

6. Except as may be announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalogue.

13 8

S A N TA F E A R T AU C T I O N

7. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the Buyer, 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 reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Santa Fe Art Auction’s sale record shall be final and conclusive. The Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe Art Auction is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.

8. If the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, determines that any bid is below the reserve of the lot, he or she may reject the same and withdraw the lot 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.

9. 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 of Sale set forth herein, and is immediately obligated to pay the full purchase price. All sales are final and there shall be no exchanges or returns. Payment shall be made by cash, check or wire transfer. As set forth in paragraph 3, above, for an additional percentage Santa Fe Art Auction will also accept credit cards as a form of payment. (Visa and MasterCard only).

In addition to other remedies available to Santa Fe Art Auction by law, we reserve 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 lots must be removed by the Buyer at his or her expense not later than ten (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, or a portion thereof from the tenth day after the sale (until its removal) will be payable to us by the Buyer, with a minimum of 5% of the total purchase price due for any lot not so removed within 60 days after the sale, and (ii) Santa Fe Art Auction may send the purchased lot to a public warehouse for the account of and at the risk and expense of the Buyer.

(b) If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the Buyer, the Buyer will be in default, and in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Santa Fe Art Auction and its agents and consignors by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the Buyer liable for the total purchase price, together with all fees, charges and expenses set forth in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Santa Fe Art Auction, at its sole option, may (i) cancel the sale of that, or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting Buyer, or (ii) resell the purchased lot or lots, whether at auction or by private sale, or (iii) effect any combination thereof. The Buyer 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. The Santa Fe Art Auction and its agents and consignors shall have all of the rights accorded to a secured party under the New Mexico Uniform Commercial Code. The Buyer of each lot agrees that each lot is unique and that Santa Fe Art Auction, in its sole discretion, shall not be required to sell or otherwise seek to mitigate damages should such Buyer fail to pay the total purchase price. Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until the Santa Fe Art Auction shall have collected good funds. The Santa Fe Art Auction reserves the right to hold all purchases pending collection of the total purchase price, together with all additional fees, charges and expenses incurred pursuant to these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

10. All lots (unless otherwise indicated by the letters “nr”) are subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price acceptable to the consignor. The Santa Fe Art Auction, or its agents or consignors, may implement such reserve by opening the bidding or they or either of them may bid up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or may bid in response to other bidders. In instances where the Santa Fe Art Auction has an interest in the lot, it may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest.

11. Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe Art Auction.

12. These Terms and Conditions of Sale, together with the parties’ respective rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed and

S A N TA F E A R T AU C T I O N

13 9

construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to New Mexico’s rules concerning conflicts of laws.

13. Prospective bidders, bidders and Buyers agree that, in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to a sale of any lot, the party asserting such controversy or claim shall provide written notice thereof to the other party; that any such controversy or claim not settled within fourteen (14) days of delivery of notice by the other party, including, without limitation, any controversy or claim arising from, or relating to, the sale of any lot or any of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, including the terms of this paragraph, the sole and exclusive means for resolving the dispute shall be by binding arbitration in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Said arbitration shall be confidential and shall be pursuant to the New Mexico Uniform Arbitration Act, shall be conducted before a single arbitrator, and shall otherwise be guided by the then extant New Mexico Rules of Arbitration. This Agreement is deemed made in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is subject to the internal substantive law of the State of New Mexico without regard to conflicts of laws. The award of the arbitrator shall be final, and may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Each party shall bear that party’s own costs of arbitration and attorney’s fees.

14. The Santa Fe Art Auction may, in its discretion and at a Buyer’s request, pack and ship items as directed by the Buyer. In such event, Buyer agrees to the following conditions:

(a) All such packing, handling and shipping is at the sole risk of the Buyer and the Santa Fe Art Auction shall have no liability for any loss or damage to such items, and (b) Buyer shall pay all related expenses in advance. Buyer should allow four to six weeks for shipping from the date of the auction.

15. Results are posted on the Santa Fe Art Auction web site and, upon request, may be sent to Buyers, catalogue subscribers, absentee and phone bidders, and other registered bidders.

16. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17. These Terms and Conditions are not assignable by any buyer without the prior written consent of the Santa Fe Art Auction. However, these Terms and Conditions are binding on the buyer’s successors, assigns and representatives.

18. No act, omission or delay by the Santa Fe Art Auction shall be deemed a waiver of its rights and remedies under these Terms and Conditions.

19. The Santa Fe Art Auction shall use reasonable efforts to contact prospective buyers who have made prior arrangements to place telephone bids in order for these buyers to participate in the auction. The Santa Fe Art Auction shall not be liable for its failure to contact said bidders or for any errors or omissions made in connection with telephone bids since telephone bids are offered as a free service that is undertaken subject to the other commitments of Santa Fe Art Auction during the sale.

20. Santa Fe Art Auction shall use reasonable efforts to execute online bids in order for online buyers to participate in the auction. Online bidding is provided as an alternative bidding service and should not be considered a replacement for bidding in the room. Santa Fe Art Auction encourages its buyers to weigh the advantages and limitations of live online bidding when deciding whether to bid in the room or online. Santa Fe Art Auction shall not be liable for any errors or omissions made in connection with online bids or the online bidding process. Although Santa Fe Art Auction will do everything in its power to assure all online bids are recognized, Santa Fe Art Auction has no way of guaranteeing that the internet and the online bidding process will be free from technical malfunctions. In the event of a tie between an online bid and a “room” bid, the “room” bid generally will take precedence. “Room” bids include those bids taken from the live auction room(s), telephones, absentee bidders, or bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. Santa Fe Art Auction will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of connection on Santa Fe Art Auction’s or on the Buyer’s end, (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software, and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with a Buyer’s internet connection, computer or system. Santa Fe Art Auction does not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

However, the Santa Fe Art Auction will not be responsible for failure to execute bids, or any errors in executing bids.

TELEPHONE BIDDING REGISTRATION Please see Guide for Telephone Bidding in the back of this catalogue.

I wish to place the following bids for this sale to be held on November 11, 2017. These bids are to be executed by the Santa Fe Art Auction up to but not exceeding the amount or amounts specified below. I understand that in order to place telephone bids I must complete and return this form, but that I need not specify the top limit of bid below. I further understand that each bid is per lot, as indicated, and all bids will be executed and accepted subject to the Terms and Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. I understand that a buyer’s premium in the amount stated in paragraph 3 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale, together with all applicable taxes, will be added to the gavel price as part of the total purchase price.

ABSENTEE BIDDING REGISTRATION Absentee Bids are executed alternately in competition with the bidders in attendance. It is possible, due to variations in bidding patterns that a lot may be won by the audience for the same amount authorized by an absentee bidder. A ( + ) sign to the right of the bid amount will authorize the absentee bidder to bid one additional bid. In the event of identical bids, the first bid received will take precedence.

ARRANGING PAYMENT In order to avoid delays in receiving purchases, buyers are requested to make payment arrangements or supply credit references in advance of the sale date. Purchases cannot leave our premises until checks have been cleared. All payment will be cash, check, Visa, MasterCard or wire transfer.

NOTE Please note that the execution of written and telephone bids is offered as an additional service for no extra charge, and at the bidder’s risk.
