AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN ART


The Estate of Joan Conway Crancer Born into an artist’s world, Joan Conway Crancer spent her entire life surrounded by art and those who created it. The only daughter of legendary St. Louis artist Fred Conway, Joan grew up watching him paint and came to appreciate art in all its forms, and the people who create it. She graduated from Webster Groves High School and attended Washington University in St. Louis, where her father taught painting for more than forty years. While not a painter herself, Joan’s education and deep appreciation for fine art allowed her to become a serious art collector. With the encouragement of her husband, the two began touring Europe together to build their collection, often hand-carrying purchases home on the plane. Over the years, Joan honed her curatorial skills, spreading the growing collection throughout the family home. In 2000, the couple designed and built a new home to highlight the collection, featuring gallery-style public spaces with high ceilings and professional lighting. She took pride in the collection and often hosted tours for visiting groups from art museums around the country. The Crancers became actively involved with the Saint Louis Art Museum, where Joan served for many years as a Museum Trustee and a member of its Acquisitions Committee. Always generous to the Museum, the couple were members of its Beaux Arts Council and were the honorees for the Council’s 1999 Award Dinner. They also endowed a Museum gallery, which is named for Alice and Fred Conway, Joan’s parents. Joan remained an Honorary Trustee of the Museum for the rest of her life. Hindman is delighted at the opportunity to work with the Crancer family to present this collection of fine art along with other fine property from the Estate that will be offered for sale in the following auctions this fall: American and European Art, Post War and Contemporary Art, Prints and Multiples, Modern Design, Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts, Fine Art and Design Selections, Antiquities, Japanese and Korean Works of Art, and Important Jewelry. Highlights from the collection include archetypal sculptures by Alexander Calder, Barbara Hepworth, Gaston Lachaise, Ibram Lassaw, Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson and John Storrs; elegant prints and works on paper by George Ault, Paul Klee, Emil Nolde, David Smith, Joseph Stella and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec as well as a stunning and versatile array of Fred Conway paintings and drawings.

Dale Nichols Chicago, 1934, stands as an early, experimental example of Dale Nichols’ artwork. According to the Curator of Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art, which holds an extensive collection of the artist’s work, Chicago is unusual for its urban setting, as Nichols is best known for his bucolic scenes of countryside red barns (Amanda Mobley Guenther, July 16, 2020). The painting is accompanied by a handwritten letter on Nichols’ personalized stationery, from the artist to a Mrs. Edwin N. Johnson. The letter is dated November 24, 1946 and in it Nichols testifies that Chicago is one of the very few paintings he executed “on the spot.” He was taken to the location by the illustrator Benjamin Stahl (1910-1987), and Nichols goes on to say in the letter that “The picture does not show the rather tough little boys that crowded about us while we worked.” Written 14 years after the artwork was painted, the artist cannot recall the exact location of the scene (“on the north side somewhere”). However, Chicago likely depicts an area in the Bucktown neighborhood. Possibly painted on the 1800 block of North Marshfield Avenue, St. Mary of the Angels Roman Catholic Church can be partially viewed from its location at 1850 North Hermitage Avenue. The two houses depicted in the painting still stand, but the view of the church through the stretch of green grass is blocked by two recently built condominiums. The artist would have to have stood facing slightly northwest for the angle and view of the church. Although Nichols simplified the ornate architectural details of the church, the two square towers and the rounded, vertical extension of the center portion of the front façade remain distinct. Both the dome and center portion of the front façade have been remodeled over the years, including brickwork that replaced the rounded extension. Chicago captures the particular architectural vernacular of the city’s neighborhood. Wooden houses like the one on the composition’s right were once common in Chicago. These were gradually replaced with dwellings such as the two-flat brick building on the left. The steep, elevated front steps of both homes speak to the Midwest’s deep winter snows and the city’s residents’ ingenuity to squeeze ever more living space in a small footprint. The building structures, with their rectangular blocks of windows and walls, and triangular roofs, reveal Nichols’ method of arranging geometric shapes to produce a formal composition. The artist also believed in using a single light source, typically the sun. Strong, dark shadows are cast by the branches of the tree and different elements of both houses. When transforming his geometric blocks into “realistic” objects, Nichols tried to paint them abstractly, in a way that expressed their inner reality. Although Chicago is at face value a painting of a city block, the structures and shadows convey a brooding, hard-bitten atmosphere populated by unseen residents. The artist’s nascent language is crystallizing into the formal elements for which he was later to become famous. The same year Chicago was produced, Nichols created his most famed painting, End of the Hunt (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), which became the basis for all his future works.

Grant Wood Painted in 1912 by a young Grant Wood, Decorative Landscape with Crocuses was created as a fireplace overmantel for the home of Charles and Kate Loomis of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Charles Loomis and his brother ran a major construction company in the community. Wood embraced this tradition, creating works such as Fanciful Depiction of the Roundhouse (1920), Phantasy of Spring (1921), and Overmantel Decoration (1930). These artworks were similar to his panoramic stage backdrops for community theater performances, which he produced well into the early 1930s. In 1909, between his junior and senior high school years, Wood traveled to Minneapolis to enroll in summer classes offered by The Handicraft Guild of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Director and Instructor Ernest A. Batchelder taught the School of Design and Crafts’ Summer Session. It was during this time that Wood further immersed himself in the ideals of the American Arts & Crafts Movement, as a disciple under Batchelder. Batchelder was an important advocate of the English Arts and Crafts style and taught on the principles of decoration rather than imitation, tenets Wood readily absorbed. Wood later co-founded the Loomwood Craft Shop with Kate Loomis in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1911 and the shop stayed in operation into 1913. Likely as part of his work at the shop, Wood executed the present artwork. In Grant Wood and Marvin Cone: Artists of an Era, the author Hazel E. Brown states that Wood helped Kate Loomis, a Cedar Rapids resident, “...decorate her home, and over her mantel in an oak frame he placed his first signed painting—jack-in-the-pulpits in tree roots.” (H. Brown, Grant Wood and Marvin Cone: Artists of an Era, Ames, Iowa, The University of Iowa Press, 1972, p. 10) Despite the confusion of flower names, a label on the verso of the present artwork further attests to this being one of Wood’s first signed paintings. In fact, the flowers depicted are likely neither crocuses nor jack-in-the-pulpits, but instead may be prairie trilliums. Native to the Midwestern states, prairie trilliums are shade-loving flowers that emerge in the spring, usually in woodlands. Wood was familiar with the flora and fauna of his native landscape and had ample opportunity to observe the flowers, which are characterized by each having three maroon petals and three green leaves perched atop a thick stem. The young artist shows the flowers in the bare forest earth, protected by an arching stretch of leafless branches that extend from trees to the left and right of the composition. Beyond the trees and flowers, a vista opens of patterned, curved hills. The curve of the painted branches and hills is echoed by the physical curve of the oak frame’s upper molding. The repetition of form, use of pattern, and simple composition attest to Batchelder’s teachings, which Wood had so recently learned. The artist would maintain these principles throughout his career, and the present painting is an early precursor to his later iconic work.

Grant Wood Reflections, Ville d’Avray stands as an early work by an artistically evolving Grant Wood. Prior to developing the unique style that gave rise to such iconic works as American Gothic, Wood primarily worked in an impressionistic manner. The young Wood was part of a generation that received training when impressionism was the dominant method of painting. After studying at various Midwestern art schools, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Wood and his friend Marvin Cone traveled to France in the summer of 1920, in order to continue their studies. It was during this trip that the present artwork was created. The pair of young artists settled in Paris, but traveled to the various suburbs surrounding the city, including Versailles and Ville d’Avray. The artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, a progenitor of impressionism, was a former resident of Ville d’Avray. Corot’s home included a pond that Wood painted several times, including the present artwork and Ville d’Avray, Paris, 1920 (Cedar Rapids Museum of Art). The two paintings were exhibited upon the artists’ return from Paris in Paintings of Paris by Grant Wood and Marvin D. Cone, Public Library Art Gallery, Cedar Rapids Art Association, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, November 10-20, 1920. Cone executed a companion piece to Wood’s, titled Reflections, Corot’s Pond, (Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Iowa), completed on the same June to August trip. It was on this same trip that Wood also introduced Cone to Winnifred Swift, and the two were married in 1921. According to Cone’s diary from the trip, Wood primarily worked outdoors, typically over the course of a few hours. The paintings were small for ease of transport and stylistically loose. However, Wood’s meticulous temperament prevented him from fully embracing the spontaneity of impressionism. Structure and form reigned supreme for the artist, with light and color of secondary importance. This emphasis on structure can be seen in Relfections, Ville d’Avray. Strong horizontal brushstrokes delineate the reflections in the pond and divides the water and grassy bank. The close-cropped tree branches in the upper foreground partially block the distant shore with its red-roofed building, creating a sense of circumscribed privacy. It is only the free, short brushstrokes that relate the painting to impressionism and carry it closely towards abstraction. The almost decorative quality in the present work hints at the later mature style for which Wood is best known. According to Joseph S. Czestochowski, this painting of Corot’s Pond is not the same as Cook’s Pond in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which Darrell Garwood frequently referred to as “Corot’s Pond” in his book, Artist in Iowa, A Life of Grant Wood (New York, 1944, p. 53).

Marvin Cone A native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Midwestern landscape provided Marvin Cone a wealth of source material. While often grouped with Regional artists of the 1920s and 1930s, especially as he was close friends with Grant Wood, Cone did not consider himself a Regionalist. Cone’s art was not an effort to record surrounding daily life, but a blend of his values and imagination and their relationship to his unique experiences. The artist painted for himself, creating pictures that represented his own inner being. As stated by Joseph Czestochowski, “Each of Cone’s works reflects an individual moment in time and space, fixing the artist’s identity within a universal context of inevitable change.” (Joseph Czestochowski, Marvin D. Cone and Grant Wood: an American Tradition, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, 1989, p. 10) From 1930 to 1937, Cone focused his gaze on the unique terrain of rural Iowa. Executed in 1934, Interval epitomizes his work from this period. The painting reveals Cone’s stylized method of breaking down landscapes into layers of component parts and using color rich with light. The composition, dominated by towering cumulus clouds, is given depth through a complex layering of forms, emphasized by the scattered smaller clouds in front of the larger cloudbank and the hazy striations of cirrus clouds above and below. The rolling hills are divided into distinct bands that recede into the background. The colors overall are subtle and evocative in their suggestion of light, which seems to emit outwardly from the heaped clouds. Two birds soar together in the lower left of the composition, accentuating the wild freedom of the expansive landscape. Like many of Cone’s paintings from this period, the scene is devoid of human life. The painting stands as a testament to the mysteries of nature, while also being extremely personal in its sense of solitude and tranquility. In Interval, Cone created a universal vision safe from the vagaries of time. “The artist does not set out to imitate nature,” Cone remarked. “Art traces an abstraction and makes it audible or visual. It symbolizes the whole of life” (as quoted in Cedar Rapids Gazette, January 19, 1938, p. 15, and May 26, 1938, p. 8). Perhaps the distinguished poet and Cone’s close friend Paul Engle, founder of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, best summarized Cone’s achievements when he said in 1960, “Marvin Cone dramatized space...He stares at the world with his hands...He has the painter’s second sight, the form seen once, then again after the imagination has redefined it” (“Portrait of the Artist as Neighbor,” Marvin Cone, A Retrospective Exhibition 1938-1960, Iowa City, Iowa, 1960, n.p.).

The Nellie Knopf Collection of Macmurray College Hindman Auctions is honored to offer a significant body of the lifelong work of Ellen Augusta “Nellie” Knopf (1875-1962), a pioneering, Modernist landscape painter and art educator who refused to accept the gender and disability restrictions of her time. Earlier this year, MacMurray College announced its closure after 174 years and brought its carefully curated collection to our attention. Born in Chicago, Knopf graduated from the School of the Art Institute with honors in 1900 and promptly accepted a teaching position at Illinois Woman’s College (later renamed MacMurray College) near Springfield. She taught there for 43 years, rising to become director of its art department. Perhaps more remarkable, Knopf was deaf and led an independent life both as an artist and as a professor widely admired by her students. “The world is here to be painted, and I am here to paint it,” she wrote. During summers and sabbaticals, Knopf struck out solo, driving to far corners of the United States to paint oil and watercolor landscapes decades before the advent of interstate highways. From 1910-1917, Knopf painted on the East Coast, studying with Charles Herbert Woodbury in Ogunquit, Maine. From there she moved on to capture vibrant scenes of the American West, beginning in New Mexico in 1922 – several years before fellow Midwesterner Georgia O’Keeffe was inspired to relocate there and paint. The following year Knopf returned West to study with Sven Birger Sandzén and John Fabian Carlson at the Broadmoor Academy in Colorado Springs. During sabbaticals in 1923-1924 (and again in 1941-1942), she explored and painted in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Texas Colorado, and Canada. Acknowledged as one of the first female painters of Glacier National Park, Knopf spent rugged summers there in 1925 and 1926, filling canvases with its cragged peaks and dramatic light and shadow. “I find it an almost unbelievable beauty, mountains of marvelous form and color, lifting snow-capped walls into the sky, and such lovely mountain lakes that one is wholly gripped with enchantment,” she wrote in a 1925 letter. Knopf’s early Boston School and post-Impressionistic influences evolved into a uniquely Modernist blend of bold color, loose brush work and heavy impasto, seen most vividly in her Western landscapes. Contemporary art reviewers noted Sandzén’s influence and an ‘almost masculine strength and vigor’ to her work. (To avoid bias against female artists, Knopf had begun signing her works as “N. A. Knopf” in the early 1920s.) Throughout her life, Knopf exhibited extensively at venues including the Corcoran Gallery, National Academy of Design, Art Institute Chicago, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Kansas City Museum of Art, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. MacMurray College hosted major retrospectives of Knopf’s work in 1967, 1987 and 2011. In 2015, her Montana paintings were featured in an exhibit celebrating women artists of Glacier National Park at the Hockaday Museum of Art in Kalispell, Montana. Upon her retirement, she continued to paint and travel throughout the West and in Mexico. Near the end of her life, she observed, with some satisfaction: “I have done miles of paintings, some of them very good.” At her passing, Knopf left 600 oil paintings and 150 watercolors.

Gaston Lachaise Gaston Lachaise’s Pudeur, representing a partly draped nude, was designed to lead the viewer’s eyes around and over the forms of the woman’s slender figure. Her modest pose, like that of an ancient Venus Pudica, suggests that she has been surprised at the bath. The drapery clings to her body in ropelike folds, like the garment of some East Asian deity. The pleasing, compact shape of the statuette suggests that it can easily be grasped and held in the hand, much like a lovely Chinese vase. Lachaise is known to have studied “Oriental and Chinese art ‘to improve his technique’” while assisting sculptor Paul Manship in the 1910s (Letter from Marguerite Zorach to Donald Goodall, May 3, 1959, Gaston Lachaise Collection, Yale Collection of American Literature, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library), and he appears to have drawn on that research when creating the present work. A bronze cast of the statuette was exhibited in early 1918 in Lachaise’s first solo show at the Bourgeois Gallery, New York, as Pudeur (the gallery dealer’s name) and was well received by both art critics and the public. Seven casts dating from Lachaise’s lifetime have been located in recent years. Three, including the present cast (a wedding gift from Lachaise to his wife’s nephew and the nephew’s bride), were made circa 1917-1922 by Anton Kunst’s sand-casting foundry operating in Manhattan. The other two are those in the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and a private collection (illustrated in Gerald Peters Gallery, Works by Gaston Lachaise: A Modern Epic Vision, exhibition catalogue, Santa Fe, 2012, Plate 13, n.p.). Two casts, made by 1929 (and probably much earlier) by the Roman Bronze Works, Brooklyn, New York, are the those owned by the Lachaise Foundation (the ex-Franklin Conklin Jr. cast); and Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, LLC, New York City. Two others, produced by one or more unidentified foundries, are owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City (cast by 1923); and the Memorial Art Gallery, University of Rochester, New York. The model for the statuette appears to have been lost by 1938 at the latest. We are grateful to Virginia Budny, author of the forthcoming catalogue raisonné sponsored by the Lachaise Foundation, for her assistance in preparing the catalogue entry for this work.

Gaston Lachaise Gaston Lachaise is best known for his sculptures of powerful women inspired by Isabel Dutaud Nagle (1972-1957), his cultured, voluptuous muse, lover, and, from 1917, wife. Yet, by his own account, few of those works are actual portraits of her. The present work is one of those rare exceptions. It began as a plaster model for a statuette named Portrait [LF 196] created in 1918 or 1919 and first exhibited in Lachaise’s second solo exhibition, at the Bourgeois Gallery, New York, in early 1920. Portrait also appeared in at least one group exhibition, also in 1920. Then, sometime after spring 1921, while a group exhibition was being installed, one of the jurors dropped both that plaster model and a second plaster portrait statuette, named Home [LF 298], which represented Isabel similarly reclining on a sofa (like David’s Madame Récamier), although dressed in informal attire and holding an open book, perhaps of her own poetry (on that disastrous event, see Gilbert Seldes, Profile of Gaston Lachaise, “Hewer of Stone,” The New Yorker, New York, April 4, 1931, p. 28). Afterward, Lachaise reworked both plasters. It appears that Home had been very badly damaged, and in 1924 he radically revised the remnants of the figure, while freeing it from its background, to become Flying Figure of Woman (Floating Figure) [LF 48] (Santa Barbara Museum of Art), a quasi-geometrical representation of a celestial goddess, and the point of departure for his heroic Floating Figure [LF 63], which was created in 1927 and cast in bronze in 1934-35 (Museum of Modern Art, New York City). By 1928, Lachaise had revised Portrait, and in February-March of that year, the first bronze cast of the new version was exhibited at the prestigious Brummer Gallery in New York, as Woman on Divan. That cast is now in the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C. Lachaise had retained much of the original version, in which the forms of his wife’s body, clothing, and furnishings had already been considerably simplified. His most noteworthy revisions are in the tighter modeling of her head and neck and the position of her proper right arm and hand. No longer holding that hand close to her side, she now extends her open palm to break through the implied front plane of the composition, thus lending significant force to her action. This deliberate, enigmatic gesture very likely corresponds in meaning to the generously extended hands in both the first revised version of Home (frontispiece, Julia Day, Jens Stenger, Katherine Eremin, Narayan Khandekar and Virginia Budny, Gaston Lachaise: Characteristics of His Bronze Sculpture, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2012) and Floating Figure. No other bronze casts of Woman on Divan were made until the 1960s, when the Lachaise Estate authorized an edition of eleven casts, producing the first two examples in 1964. Seven others, including the present cast, were issued from 1968 to 2001. The edition includes the casts owned by the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science, Evansville, Indiana (2/11), and the Harn Museum, University of Florida, Gainesville (6/11). The broken plaster model is owned by the Lachaise Foundation.

EUROPEAN ART

John Ruskin Attributed to the artist John Ruskin, Amboise depicts the late fifteenth-century St. Hubert’s Chapel, which rises above the château of Amboise along the River Loire in France. According to Stephen Wildman, Emeritus Professor of History of Art, Lancaster University, the lesser detail, especially in the foreground, points to this watercolor possibly being an early attempt at a more detailed and finished watercolor, also titled Amboise and dating from 1841 (Private Collection). The known watercolor was shown in the 2000 exhibition Ruskin, Turner, and the Pre-Raphaelites, held at the Tate, London (Robert Hewison, Ian Warrell and Stephen Wildman, no. 40, pg. 64, illus.). The present Amboise falls within the period of the early 1840s, when Ruskin was deeply influenced by the work of Joseph Mallord William Turner, to the extent of attempting to capture Turner’s style. In the process, Ruskin adopted and exaggerated the artist’s mannerisms, including his propensity to distort the height of architectural motifs. In Praeterita he described the now lost preparatory drawing for the finished watercolor as ‘highly laboured’ and ‘“out of my head”; representing the castle as about seven hundred feet above the river, (it is perhaps eighty or ninety,) with sunset light on it, in imitation of Turner; and the moon rising behind it, in imitation of Turner; and some steps and balustrades (which are not there) going down to the river, in imitation of Turner; with the fretwork of St. Hubert’s Chapel done very carefully in my own way, – I thought perhaps a little better than Turner.’ (John Ruskin, Praeterita, v. 2, London, 1907, pg. 93). The supposition that the present watercolor is a first effort is supported by the fact that a greater degree of detail would have been needed for its conversion into an engraving. Engravings require more particularized visual elements to translate well into a finished print. This would have led Ruskin to complete a more finished version of Amboise. The engraving was executed by Frederick Goodall and was used to accompany Ruskin’s long poem ‘The Broken Chain’, published under the signature ‘J.R., Christ Church, Oxford’ in the annuals of Friendship’s Offering between 1840 and 1843. Part XIV includes the lines: Those orbed towers obscure and vast, That light the Loire with sunset last; Those fretted groups of shaft and spire, That crest Amboise’s cliff with fire, When, far beneath, in moonlight fail The winds that shook the pausing sail; The panes that tint with dyes divine The altar of St. Hubert’s shrine About the scene, Ruskin declared that ‘[T]he chapel, which crowns the precipice, though small, is one of the loveliest bits of rich detail in France. In reality it is terminated by a small wooden spire, which I have not represented, as it destroyed the grandeur of the outline.’ (John Ruskin, The Works of John Ruskin, London, 1903, pp. 169-170)

These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction. A glossary at the end defines the words in bold type.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance—are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot. 2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report. 3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. 4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges. 5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID

1. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid. 2. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction. 3. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization

112 A M E R I C A N A N D E U R O P E A N A R T

allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal. 4. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction. 5. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids. (b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites. (c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form in the back of our catalogues, at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids. 6. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a $100 authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 48 hours.

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/ her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online-only Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website or through third-party bidding sites between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion. 2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1). 3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the lot’s low estimate; where


necessary, will lower the asking bid until a bid is received; and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold. 4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION

1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium. 2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required. 3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us. (iv) Cash: We accept cash payments (including money orders and traveler’s checks) subject to a maximum aggregate of US $10,000 per buyer, per sale. (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department. 4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you. 5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse. 6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and onehalf percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount.

(d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate. 7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6). 8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified. “Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalogue as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 114 A M E R I C A N A N D E U R O P E A N A R T

4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. 5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap. 6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE


OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS

1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation. 2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction. 3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights. 4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected. 5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities. 6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com. 7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. 8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. Before we or you start any court proceedings (except in the limited circumstances where the dispute, controversy, or claim is related to proceedings brought by someone else and this dispute could be joined to those proceedings), you and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law.
