69 ANDREW WYETH (1917-2009) Nell, 1976 watercolor on paper 20 ⅞ x 29 ½ in. (53.02 x 74.93 cm.) signed upper left: Andrew Wyeth Andrew and Betsy Wyeth named their dog Nell Gwynn after the mistress of Charles II. Nell found her way into many important Wyeth paintings throughout the 1970s, including the masterworks Night Sleeper (1979), The Ides of March (1974) and Winter Dogs (1969). It was said that Wyeth was privately amused by the pet’s name as her presence is tied to the appearance of Wyeth’s long time muse and mistress, Helga. Nell, watercolor on paper, was painted in 1976, a year which proved to be very important for the artist. In October of that same year, Two Worlds of Andrew Wyeth: Kuerners and Olsons opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. At the time, it was the first solo exhibition by a living artist presented by the Met. The exhibition also served as an introduction to then director Thomas Hoving, who would collaborate with Wyeth on many projects for years to come.

Nell is a combination of many of Wyeth’s favorite painting subjects, not just the family’s favorite pet but also winter as well as the landscape around his Chadd’s Ford home. Of winter, Wyeth poetically stated, “I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.” When Wyeth made the egg tempera for his paintings, he would use the yolks for the paint and would feed the egg whites to Nell. There is something about the way he paints Nell; so much personality and grace comes through the curves of her face and the delicate marks of her eyes and features.

After participating in an exhibit at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., John Nieto met with President Reagan in the Oval Office of the White House and presented him with the painting Delegate to the White House. The painting hung in Washington for the duration of the President's term in office and now has been included in the Reagan Presidential Library.

In 1981, Nieto participated by invitation in the "Salon d'Autumn" at the Grand Palais, Paris, France, and in 1989 he mounted a one-man show at the Axis Gallery in Tokyo, Japan.

Nieto received the New Mexico Governor's Award for Achievement in the Arts in 1994, and has served on the Advisory Boards for both the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe and the Native American Preparatory School. After prolonged ill health, John passed away in July of 2018 at his home in Texas.

John Nieto's paintings reflect his upbringing from Hispanic and American Indian parents whose New Mexican roots can be traced back over 300 years. His bold and confident use of brilliant colors has been likened to the 1920's French Fauvist movement, which impressed him greatly during a visit to Paris.

His time in Paris also exposed him to another strong influence - Expressionism, where the sub-consciousness of artists manifested itself on canvas. Liberty Celebration (1986) depicts a native dancer performing in front of the Statue of Liberty in New York City. It is a uniquely iconic and rare painting and only one of two Nietos known to include the Statue of Liberty subject matter.

(167.64 x 152.40 cm.) signed and dated upper right: Havard 84 James Pinkney Havard was born in Galveston, Texas, in 1937. His father worked along the Gulf Coast as a roughneck and pipefitter in the Texas oil fields. Havard attended Sam Houston State College where he studied with the sculptor Charles Pebworth (1926-2019) and painter Gaddis Geeslin (1920-2008). It was through these artists that Havard learned about Abstract Expressionism and began painting in the style of these mentors.

Upon graduation in 1959, he moved east to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Havard graduated from PAFA in 1965 and, soon after, was included in a National Collection of Fine Arts Exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and at the Academy Gallery of the National Institute of Arts and Letters in New York City. After moving to New York City in the 1980s, Havard focused on large-scale, expressive paintings referencing Native American culture in a most unique way. Over the next ten years, he made frequent visits to Santa Fe, New Mexico, for inspiration and to pursue his interest in collecting. Havard’s style of blending expressionistic abstraction with indigenous symbols caught the attention of museums throughout the country and soon his works were added to several important collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art. Considered a "pioneer of abstract illusionism," Havard’s signature paintings include collage elements, images and text that refer to prehistoric Native American culture, squeezings of paint directly from the tube, and spray painted "shadows" giving the illusion that the paint is actually suspended in front of the paint surface. Closely related to the Abstract Expressionists because of his expressive sweeping and gestural brushes of paint, Havard is a sensuous colorist who powerfully conjures up emotional responses and impressions from the viewer In 1989 Havard moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where he has lived ever since.

BRADLEY / © 84 inscribed verso: “Scholder in New York” David Bradley studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts and the College of Santa Fe. He was represented by the prestigious Elaine Horwitch Galleries where he showed alongside such artists as Fritz Scholder.

Throughout his career, Bradley has completed portraits of artists who have affected and influenced his career, including T.C. Cannon and Georgia O’Keeffe as well as Scholder. According to Valerie K. Verzuh, curator at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, “Bradley’s paintings are also homages to artists he admires and who inspired him. In both instances, the artist combines or alters the images he borrows to create hybrid contemporary pieces.”

Bradley’s Scholder in New York, 1984, is one of the more successful works in this group. In the painting, Bradley places Scholder stoically in his New York Studio, a New York skyline complete with the Statue of Liberty is seen in the window behind him. The window on the world is a narrative context that Bradley enlists many times throughout his career.

“I had a great respect for Scholder,” says Bradley in discussing this painting recently with the Santa Fe Art Auction. “We both showed

our work at Horwitch Gallery for a year or two, but we didn’t hang out or socialize. He was one of the most famous artists in the West and I was a student. A few years ago, the Denver Art Museum did a big traveling show of his work titled “Super Indian.” I was so flattered to be asked to do one of the essays in the book that accompanied the exhibit.”

In that essay, Bradley wrote about that time in 1970s: “Fritz Scholder was leading a pack of successful Indian artists that were the talk of the Southwest art scene… To me, Scholder and his work remind me of a special time when Santa Fe became known as one of the top art markets in the country and contemporary Indian art was put on the map.”

Bradley’s artwork has been collected by many museums and institutions across the country and he was recently the subject of a one-man exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Autry Museum in Los Angeles, and a simultaneous exhibit at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe.

Gisella Loeffler (1902-1977) was an Austro-HungarianAmerican painter, illustrator and textile artist who worked in a distinctive folk style. Loeffler was born in Vienna, but traveled to Missouri with her family early in life before settling in St. Louis, Missouri. She trained at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Fine Arts but her memories of a European childhood are what resulted in her definitive folk art stylings.

Hansel and Gretel (ca. 1936-1937) is a gouache and tempera on beaverboard. It is Loeffler’s most famous painting as it commands a full- page representation in Mabel Dodge Lujan’s 1947 classic, Taos and Its Artists.

In St. Louis, Loeffler saw an exhibition of paintings by Oscar Berninghaus (who was also from St. Louis) and Ernest Blumenschein. She was immediately drawn to Taos, New Mexico, feeling it resembled the villages of her native Austrian home. So, in 1933, Loeffler moved with her daughters to Taos. Once she arrived in New Mexico, she immediately began working for the New Deal Federal Art Project where she painted murals in schools and hospitals.

She married her second husband, Frank P. Chase, in 1949 and they lived in the former Taos home of D.H. Lawrence.

She lived in Taos for over 40 years and died there in 1977.

In Taos and its Artists, Lujan wrote : “Gisella Loeffler! How people are attracted to your funny little painted children and the reassuring life you surround them with!...Everyone is allured and amused by the life of these robust infants with roses and birds and hearts all about them. It makes people forget that sometimes their life is not so gay.”

In 1998, Loeffler and Kloss: Two Taos Legends was held at the Panhandle Plains Museum in Texas as part of the Taos Art Colony Centennial Celebration. Her work is included in the permanent collection of The Harwood Museum in Taos; The New Mexico Museum of Art, Albuquerque; the Museum of International Folk Art, Santa Fe; and the Panhandle-Plains Historic Museum in Texas.

MANDELMAN inscribed verso on upper stretcher bar: same as other fruit In 1935 Mandelman was employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), first as a muralist and then as a printmaker with the Graphic Division of the New York Project, and remained there until the WPA was disbanded in 1942. During this time in her life, she was associated with numerous New York School artists, including Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, and Stuart Davis. Mandelman’s works were included in exhibitions at the Chicago Art Institute, the Museum of Modern Art, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. In 1942, she married fellow artist Louis Ribak and soon after headed west to visit Ribak’s teacher and mentor, John Sloan in Santa Fe. The couple eventually settled nearby in Taos, where a new influx of artists from New York and California during the late 40s and 50s, including Mandelman and Ribak, Ed Corbett, Agnes Martin, Oli Sihvonen, and Clay Spohn, would become known as the “Taos Moderns.”

Mandelman was included in a 1952 group exhibition "Taos Painting Yesterday and Today," organized by Ted Egri, at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. It was the first museum exhibition to address the development of Modernist art in Taos.

Beatrice Mandelman was an intensely dedicated painter. In the relative isolation of Northern New Mexico she found the freedom to develop a style that was distinctly her own. Inspired by the light, the local color, the landscape and the confluence of diverse cultures in Taos, her work flourished. Over the span of seven decades, she produced an incredibly important body of work as a pioneering woman artist in the Modernist field. The entire Ribak-Mandelman Estate is now part of the University of New Mexico Collection.

To be a modern painter and to make a truthful statement is the sum total of all I am and what I am continually striving to create. I am a painter and my feelings are all I can contribute to this world.”

Janet Lippincott’s works are held in numerous important permanent collections including the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, the Columbia Museum of Fine Arts, the Denver Art Museum, the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art, the Museum of Albuquerque, the Nelson Atkins Museum, the New Mexico State Capitol Art Collection, the Santa Barbara Museum, the Museum of New Mexico, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, the Frederick R.

In 1948, Hertel attended Scripps College in Claremont, California, where she studied drawing with noted California School of Painting artist Millard Sheets. She became his studio assistant and went on to collaborate with Sheets for the next 26 years. In 1980 the Hertels moved to Cerrillos, New Mexico where they set up a studio and built corrals for their horses. In 1983, she joined Elaine Horwitch galleries and embarked on a productive art career. One of Hertel’s memorable connections during those years was to actor Robert Redford, who often came to the Horwitch gallery in Santa Fe to buy her paintings. Redford would drive his silver Porsche to the gallery afterhours, when he could enjoy looking at the paintings on his own, and purchase her work for his private collection.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Mallary was included in several important exhibitions, including Sixteen Americans (1961) at the Museum of Modern Art, New York where he was shown alongside artists such as Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly and Robert Rauschenberg. He was also included in The Art of Assemblage at MOMA, as well as other important exhibitions at the institution: Recent Sculpture U.S.A. (1959), The 1960s: Paintings & Sculptures from the Museum Collection (1967), Young Abstract Expressionists of the Fifties (1971) and The Artist as Adversary (1971).

Untitled, 1957, comes from Mallary’s series of New Mexico Reliefs. In his foreword to the catalogue for an exhibition of those works at The Mayor Gallery, Wayne Thiebaud wrote: “Robert Mallary introduced me to the community of excellence and its rich traditions. His extraordinary capacity for interrogation of visual works allows formalism its regal position as one of a painters most useful tools for evaluation and self-criticism. His beautiful and expressive works continue to inspire.”

Robert Mallary spent his childhood in California and then traveled to Mexico City during the 1930s and 1940s where he studied with David Alfaro Siquerios. The experience led to Mallary’s interest in unconventional materials and techniques. Looking back on this time in his life, Mallary stated, “ About twenty-five years ago I fell under the spell of Siqueiros. He was advocating a technological revolution in painting and was himself working with an airbrush and synthetic lacquers. Soon I was doing likewise, and in the 1940s was spending much time investigating various areas of technology from the point of view of uncovering some new materials which might be adapted to the special needs of painting and sculpture.”

In the summer of 2019, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe launched the latest of their “Contemporary Voices” program with an extensive exhibition of the work of ceramic artist Ken Price. In the program to the exhibition, curator Ariel Platek credits Price for being one of the few ceramic artists who helped to “elevate ceramic sculpture to a status on a par with contemporary painting, worthy of collection and exhibition by leading museums.”

Price was born in Los Angeles, California in 1935 where he attended grade school and high school. After a brief stint at Santa Monica City College, Price received a B.F.A. from the University of Southern California in 1956. From 1955 to 1958, Price studied with ceramics legend Peter Voulkos at the Los Angeles County Art Institute, which later became known as the Otis Art Institute. He also took life drawing, animation and watercolor courses from the Chounard Art Institute and Los Angeles City College. At the time, Los Angeles was flooded with young artists and Price soon came to know artists such as John Altoon, Billy Al Bengston, Robert Irwin, Edward Kienholz, John Mason and Edward Moses. From 1960 to 1964, Price had three solo exhibitions at the famed Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. In 1969, Price was honored with a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.

Later, Price enrolled in the graduate ceramics program at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred where he finished the equivalent of a two-year M.F.A. program. From 1971 to 1982 Price lived in Taos, New Mexico.

According to Platek, the works selected for the exhibition at the O’Keeffe Museum included 10 sculptures and more than a dozen works on paper that “date mainly to the last decades of Price’s life and were made in his studio in Arroyo Hondo, near Taos. Like Georgia O’Keeffe, Price had an established career elsewhere before relocating to New Mexico.”

Gleam, like Horace which appeared in the exhibit, is a striking example from this same period and work phase in the artist’s oeuvre. These items are the result of a painstaking process described by Platek: “While a traditional ceramic glaze is fired together with the clay, Price painted the sculptures … after firing. He layered multiple coats of different colored acrylic paints and then selectively sanded them, revealing the colors that had built up below. Depending on the palette, the effect can suggest goose bumps or extraterrestrial organisms.”

In 2012 Price was the subject of a highly acclaimed retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art which later traveled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Provenance: L.A. Louver, Los Angeles, California Private Collection, California $100,000 – $150,000

190 JUAN CARLOS DEL VALLE (Mexican, b. 1975) Cake XIX, 2015 oil on canvas 16 x 12 in. (40.64 x 30.48 cm.) inscribed verso: PINTO’: / JUAN CARLOS / DEL VALLE / -MÉXICO- / 40 x 30 cm / “PASTEL XIX” / 6-VII-2015 Juan Carlos del Valle was born in Mexico City in 1975 where he currently lives and works. He is well-known for linking a realist-expressionist aesthetic with an exploration about the human condition.

“Through his cake paintings, often depicted as already sliced, cut or bitten, Del Valle is not only drawing attention to the pastry itself but to the intimate act of eating it, forming a relationship with it, finding the humanity in it. The artist plays with the ambivalence of desire and love, both the animal and the divine natures that coexist within us. Cake XIX seduces the viewer, it wants to be eaten and shamelessly triggers the senses –the mouth instantly waters when evoking the sweetness of the cream, the tanginess of the jam and the moisture of the bread. At the same time, there is a radical vulnerability about the way this cake’s layers are exposed, a sort of nakedness. The strawberry on top even reminds of a human heart.” –Pilar Alfonso Galeano Provenance: Private Collection, Mexico City $3,000 – $5,000

192 DAMIÁN SIQUEIROS (Mexican, b. 1959) The Song of Red 04, 2017 archival print on moab 300 natural, edition 1 of 5 20 x 30 in. (50.80 x 76.20 cm.) signed, editioned and dated lower right: Damian Siqueiros 1/5 2017 Provenance: Private Collection, Los Angeles, California $2,000 – $3,000

Damián Siqueiros is a Mexican-Canadian Montreal-based image maker. As a photographer, he does not pursue the reflection of reality, but rather imagines how to transform and reinterpret it.

“The Rapt of Culture” is part of the artist’s Icarus series referencing iconic themes from Art History used for tragic storytelling. (The word “rapt” in this case is used in its original etymological sense to mean abduction.)

With a clearly Baroque aesthetic, Icarus II, draws from Masters such as Hendrick Goltzius, Rubens, Titian and Michelangelo. The spectator can see elements from the fall of Icarus, Prometheus’ and Tityus’ torture to the entombment of Christ. The empathetic groupings in each of the images evoke an emotional depth that is at once familiar and displaced, majestic and dystopian.

The mix of different textures through postproduction and intervention, blurs the lines between the photographic medium, painting and drawing. For Siqueiros, this was one of the first successful attempts to push the boundaries of photography by developing the process of creation so that choreography and costume design are as essential as the resulting images.

The series has been exhibited at the Art Museum of the Americas, the Gabarrón Foundation in NY, the Frost Museum and won the “Coup de Coeur” Scotia Bank prize during Montreal’s Art Souterrain public art festival.

Provenance: Private Collection, New Mexico A Private Family Foundation*

It was late Spring in 1932 when Taos residents woke up to a real terror: a horrible raging fire destroyed almost the entire side of the plaza, including the Taos Country Courthouse. A new courthouse was built and, by 1934, the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) commissioned ten fresco murals for the new courthouse by four of the town’s most famous painters—Emil Bisstram, Victor Higgins, Ward Lockwood and Bert Phillips.

Literature: Dean Porter, Victor Higgins: An American Master, Salt Lake City: Gibbs Smith, 1991, p.188, Illus. p.266.

Higgins’ central panel Moses the Lawgiver/Moses, el Legislador is a true masterpiece of the Modernist style. An austere and geometrically configured Moses commands the forefront of a quintessential Higgins landscape, with angular cliffs, ascending mountain faces and the abstracted layers of clouds.

“There is a vastness, an immensity, and the peaceful hush of an enormous cathedral about Arizona’s great canyons. Whoever has been within these walls and has seen the flocks of sheep and goats grazing, heard the distant tinkle of the lead goat’s bell, listened to the haunting song of the bright-skirted shepherdess, and who has seen in the distance an approaching rider, a tiny speck against the massive walls, must yearn to perpetuate his impressions of those precious moments. That is why I paint the Navajo.”

– Gerard Curtis Delano

GERARD CURTIS

DELANO (1890 –1972)

GERARD CURTIS DELANO

GERARD CURTIS DELANO (1890–1972) The transformation of Gerard Curtis Delano from illustrator to fine artist was complete the instant he stepped onto the Land of the Navajo for the very first time. However swift, this was a moment that the artist had been preparing for his entire professional career.

In 1940, Delano completed a four-year project that he titled “The Story of the West.” This series had a two-year run in Western Story Magazine and was comprised of 106 drybrush ink drawings that appeared alongside his narrative focusing on the development of the frontier West.

The project had allowed him to survive in Colorado during an otherwise difficult period in his professional career. But now, in 1940, at the age of 50, Delano was faced with a “what’s next?” moment. Delano was a deeply spiritual and religious man who spent a majority of his life in solitude. After much introspection, he decided that he could make his living as a fine artist. So, his first trip to gather material for this elevated career move was to the Navajo Nation in New Mexico and Arizona.

In Donald Hagerty’s essay, Heart of the Desert, which accompanied the catalogue to a 2001 Retrospective of Delano’s work at the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the writer states: “When Delano first ventured onto the Navajo Reservation in 1940, he found a world poised between the old and new ways…The traditional livelihoods of shepherding, weaving, and subsistence farming were regulated by changes of the seasons. For the most part, Navajo culture revolved around that land-based life. Automobiles were scarce on the reservation, and horses for riding and horse-drawn wagons still prevailed. Reservation roads were often faint tracks, and most of the major highways would not be paved until the late 1950s.”

This is the land Delano encountered and subsequently fell in love with. It is what led to him being known as the “Painter of the Navajo” and it is also what led him to write, later in his life, “So began my knowledge of, and acquaintance with, the Navajo. As my admiration of these people has grown, so has the number of my material-gathering trips among them.”

This private collection consigned to the Santa Fe Art Auction is one of the best and most significant collections of the artist’s work still in private hands. Twelve in number, the collection includes large masterworks in oil, smaller more intimate oil paintings and magnificently rendered watercolors. All twelve works come from Delano’s output after 1940 when he made the decision to spend the rest of his career depicting daily scenes of Navajo life harvested from firsthand accounts and experiences.

The masterwork of Delano’s Navajo period is without a doubt The Orange Cloud. The Orange Cloud (oil on canvas, 32 x 42”), depicts a scene complete with large Native American figuration on horseback, featuring brightly colored dress and well-illustrated indigenous accessories. The composition exudes family warmth through the inclusion of a foal, and the overall image is enhanced by the tones of the setting sun in the titular orange cloud also reflected in the water at the horses’ feet. In Richard G. Bowman’s book, Walking with Beauty: The Art and Life of Gerard Curtis Delano, the author states “Delano identified some of his paintings as being the finest in execution and quality by putting a small red dot in the corner of the paintings.” The Orange Cloud is one of only a handful of paintings that bears this red dot. In fact, only five of Delano’s top ten auction records include this same red dot.

Eight of the twelve paintings are set in the heart of Navajo Country, drawn from Delano’s love of the canyons and valleys of the region, including two of his favorite places, Vermillion Cliffs and Canyon de Chelly.

No painting of the Arizona landscape is quite as epic as Delano’s Desert Thunderhead. In this monumental work, a giant cloud formation is rendered in Modernist geometric form, dominating the small sliver of land depicted beneath it. Large mesas appear infinitesimal against the immensity of the mass of cloud and sky. Completed in early 1940, the painting shows Delano’s contribution to the Modernist West as well as to this stylistic tradition that still continues today.

Also particular to this group of paintings are two rare nocturnes depicting wildlife of the region. Bears in the Moonlight (oil on canvas, 24 x 28”) is a delightful painting of a mother bear and two cubs resting for the moment next to a large expanse of water.

Delano has expertly captured the crepuscular moment when sky meets shore, with only brief, slight strokes representing the horizon line and small circles of pure white to designate the stars in the skies. The roundness of the bear form contrasts exquisitely with both the rock formation and the curve of the shoreline to present what Bowman calls “pure poetic design.” Another such painting is New Life (oil on board, 11 ½ x 15 ½”) in which Delano delicately places a newborn fawn next to a doe, with their swift reflections captured momentarily in the brilliant moonlight.

Completing the unequaled excellence of this Delano collection is an outstanding example of a canoe scene. Wilderness Silence (watercolor, 11 ¾ x 21 3/4) elegantly places a solitary Native figure rowing quietly out on to the still fog-covered lake with only his reflection and a small white dog. The two pause as the barely visible form of a White Heron flies over them. In this scene, Delano’s understanding of solitude and simple beauty shine through. The watercolor depicts that moment of revelation, where a lone figure experiences a moment of transcendence that allows him to connect to something large than himself. It is in this ability to portray the sublime beauty of the natural world where Delano’s true talent shines through.

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.

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).

SANTA FE ART AUCTION

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 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 is pleased to present to art purchasers shipping options which are explained in the shipping form enclosed in this catalogue. If you misplace this form, call or send an email and another form will be provided.

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.

GUIDE FOR BIDDING ABSENTEE BIDS If you are unable to attend the auction in person, and wish to place bids, you may give the Santa Fe Art Auction Bid Department instructions to bid on your behalf. Our representatives will then try to purchase the lot or lots of your choice for the lowest price possible, and never for more than the top amount you indicate. The Santa Fe Art Auction offers this service as a convenience to clients who are unable to attend the auction. However, the Santa Fe Art Auction will not be responsible for failure to execute bids, or any errors in executing bids.

Be sure the lot number and the descriptions are accurate and note the top price you are willing to pay for each lot.

Any alternative bids should be indicated by using the word “OR” between lot numbers. Then if your bid on an early lot is successful, we will not continue to bid on other lots for you. Or, if your early bids are unsuccessful, we will continue to execute bids for alternative lots until a bid is successful. Bids must be placed in the same order as the lot numbers appear in this catalogue.

Please place your bids as early as possible. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

TELEPHONE BIDS Telephone bids are accepted only if you have returned a signed telephone bid form by mail or fax which authorizes the Santa Fe Art Auction to place bids on your behalf.

BUYER’S PREMIUM The top limit you indicate on your bid form is the hammer price exclusively. Please keep in mind that a buyer’s premium, as stated in paragraph 3 of the terms and conditions of sale, will be added to the successful bid price of each lot you buy and is payable by you together with the applicable sales tax which is applied to the total cost of the purchase.

SUCCESSFUL BIDS Successful absentee bidders will be notified and invoiced within a few days of the sale. Successful absentee bidders shall arrange to make payment via cash, check, credit card or wire transfer upon receipt of notification of purchase.
