EXCEPTIONAL LOUISIANA FURNITURE AND DECORATIVE ARTS FROM THE WHITNEY PLANTATION COLLECTION The Whitney Institute (DBA Whitney Plantation) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization operating Whitney Plantation Museum. Whitney Plantation opened as a museum on December 7, 2014 with a mission to educate the public about the history of slavery and its legacies. In its first five years, the museum welcomed over 400,000 visitors from destinations worldwide, who toured the grounds of the 18th century sugarcane, rice and indigo plantation.

The original buildings dating from 1790 to the late 19th century reveal the story of an evolving plantation where more than 350 people were enslaved.

In 2019, a re-envisioning of the Big House of the plantation was embarked upon in agreement with the staff and Board of Directors. This tremendous undertaking will allot more space for new exhibits, which deemphasize the history of the plantation owners and focus instead on the lives of the enslaved workers. Ideas for these spaces include acquiring new objects utilized by enslaved people on the plantation and displaying original artifacts discovered on the grounds during archaeological research. As a result of this new focus, the collection of period Louisiana furniture and decorative objects offered within this auction will support the museum’s current endeavors.

In light of the recent devastating effects of Hurricane Ida to Whitney Plantation, the funds generated through this sale are crucial to implementing this large interpretive project and supporting the museum’s mission. While Whitney Plantation Museum works to recover from the storm, donations are more critical than ever to make repairs and allow the museum to continue to grow and thrive.

Note: The eared crest of the headboard and tall attenuated baluster and ring turned posts on this creole bed reflect the Anglo-Federal taste, a harbinger of the massive Grecian-style bed that Mississippi River Valley planters were to prefer by the 1830’s.

Note: The restrained ornament, proportions, flush door panels, and frieze with inlaid cypher “GCD” on this armoire are Creole cabinetmaking elements and relate closely to an armoire in the Whitecloud Family collection from the “Butterfly Man” Group among others. Juxtaposed to these aforementioned French Island qualities are the extensive “barber pole,” string and swag inlay and false center stile, all distinctive Anglo-American details, making this armoire a true Louisiana Purchase object, Creole at its inception, but showing evidence of American Federal style.

A photograph published in the May 8, 1955, edition of the Shreveport Times shows this unique painting, which was executed on a window shade, tacked above the doors of the back porch of the Yucca House at Melrose Plantation.

Clementine Hunter historian and expert Tom Whitehead writes, “[t]his early masterpiece shows the artistic talents Clementine had in capturing the vivid colors and community involvement in a Baptism with the candidates in the Cane River, the preacher and the lady’s auxiliary of St. Matthew Baptist Church. Her use of colors in the background was unique and outstanding, highlighting the elements of the experience.”

208. George Louis Viavant (American/Louisiana, 1872-1925), “Ducks in Flight”, 1925, watercolor on paper mounted to board, signed and dated lower left, 29 3/4 in. x 20 7/8 in., framed. [$6000/8000] Provenance: Descended in the family of the artist.

Note: George Louis Viavant, the son of a New Orleans cotton broker, grew up within the city limits of New Orleans fishing and hunting from his father’s hunting lodge located on Gentilly Road. He began art lessons at the Southern Art Union in 1884 with Achille Perelli, a student of John James Audubon. Viavant drew inspiration for his subjects from the bayous, marshes and creatures of South Louisiana and painted scenes that combined his interest in the natural beauty of wildlife with a naturalist’s close attention to detail.

According to the monograph on the artist by George E. Jordan, Viavant created most of his sunrise and sunset swamp landscapes during the hot summer months, capturing the views from memory in his studio and imbuing many of the scenes with a touch of fantasy. Descended in the family of the artist, the large-scale watercolor offered here from Viavant’s last year of life depicts an expansive bayou with a group of ducks taking flight over the water. The composition is framed by tall grass in the foreground and a distant tree-lined shore in the background. Viavant’s mature mastery of the watercolor medium and the meticulous detail that was the hallmark of his well-known nature morte paintings blend into a scene that perfectly portrays the artist’s knowledge of and intimacy with the landscape of Louisiana.

209. William Henry Buck (Norwegian/New Orleans, 1840-1888), “Stately Home under the Live Oaks along a New Orleans Avenue”, oil on canvas, unsigned, 12 1/4 in. x 20 1/8 in., framed. [$40000/60000] Provenance: Acquired from the artist in New Orleans, Henry Harrison Bankston (1820-1902), first mayor of Amite City, LA; his daughter, Mary Ann Bankston Watson (1855-1940); her daughter, Syrena Watson Sanders (1889-1981); her son, Kenneth Ivan Sanders (1923-2004); thence by descent.

Note: By 1880 William Henry Buck had opened his own studio at 26 Carondelet Street in New Orleans, where he was instrumental in defining the easel-sized painting market. Buck created the most expansive known body of work in the 19th century portraying the rivers, lakes, bayous and environs of New Orleans and its surrounding areas. His passion for capturing the Louisiana landscape is evident in the exquisite and subtle luminosity and carefully composed compositions of his works. While his rural bayou landscapes are perhaps his best known, rare urban scenes of New Orleans and its suburbs also appear in the artist’s oeuvre, portraying a unique glimpse into life in the city during an exciting period of growth and transformation.

In the work offered here, Buck depicts a stately home under his iconic moss-draped trees, with the composition built around a strong diagonal of white fence lines – a technique noted in numerous of his canvases. The roadway in the forefront of the canvas hints at what are likely streetcar tracks. In 1860, New Orleans was home to the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company, which ran horse or mule-drawn streetcars along four routes throughout the area in the “American” Quarter above Canal Street. Between 1861 and 1873, the amount of New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company street railways increased

40

from four lines to nine lines; over one hundred street cars ran along these tracks. By the early 1870s, experimentation with steam power had begun in order to provide an even faster streetcar that did not rely upon horses and mules for power, and in 1890, the last remaining mule car line was shut down as the electrification of the streetcar lines began.

Likely completed sometime in the 1880s, this canvas was acquired by Henry Harrison Bankston, first mayor of Amite City, LA. Of Swedish roots, Bankston was active in the Scandinavian community of New Orleans, where he perhaps would have encountered Buck, who was born in Norway and immigrated to the United States around 1865. While the exact location of the structure depicted here remains a mystery, the elegant architecture with colonnade, red roof and expansive grounds is reminiscent even today of New Orleans’ grand avenues.

Neal Auction would like to thank Wendy Castenell, Ph.D. for writing the following note.

Note: The portrait, which has become known as “Ashur Moses Nathan and Son” is familiar to all who are interested in Louisiana portraiture or the history and legacy of African American art. The elusive portrait has been tucked away in private collections in Natchitoches, Louisiana, since its discovery by Louisiana authors Lyle Saxon and François Mignon in the 1930s in the attic of a private home of an unidentified resident in Mississippi. According to an interview with Mignon in the July 23, 1976 issue of The New Orleans Times-Picayune, the pair were made aware of the painting’s existence and location by a well-known New Orleans gallery owner who remained anonymous in the article. The portrait was jointly owned by Saxon and Mignon until Mignon’s death. In his will dated July 30, 1980, Mignon bequeathed the portrait to Mrs. Ora G. Williams, who in turn, left it to Jack and Ann Brittain in her will from April of 1985.

The pastel portrait by Jules Lion from c. 1845 depicts a middle-aged white man locked in an embrace with a mixed race younger man. The two sitters dominate the picture plane, drawing viewers’ attention to the details of their features, expressions, fashionable dress, and most importantly, their intimate pose. The older white man at the right, wears an elegant black jacket, waistcoat, and cravat. He gazes directly at the viewer with a serious expression. However, there is warmth in his eyes and a slight uptick at the corners of his mouth that prevents him from appearing severe. His graying hair is thinning, and his face displays sagging and some wrinkles that make him appear to be at the middle of life.

His skin is slightly flushed, with a ruddiness in his cheeks and across the bridge of his nose.

The younger man stands to his left, with his body pressed against the older sitter’s right side. The young man wraps his left arm around his companion’s shoulder, resting his hand on the older gentleman’s left shoulder. At the very bottom center of the composition, the two men clasp hands. The younger sitter is the taller of the two, and is also attired in a fashionable suit, with a black jacket and gray trousers. However, his garments are more impressive than the older man’s, as they include a blue and brown patterned waistcoat, a silk tie of the same shade of blue with a gold tie pin, a gold watch chain visible beneath his jacket, and a large ruby ring on the ring finger of his right hand. Like the older sitter, he too faces forward and meets the viewer’s gaze directly. His dark hair is shiny and arranged into a fashionable style, parted on the left and curling forward over each of his ears. His eyes, nose and mouth slightly larger than his companion’s, but there is nevertheless a resemblance in the shape of their features. While the younger man is also depicted with a slight blush in his cheeks, his flesh is a little darker and more olive toned than the sitter to his left.

An indistinct, but lush landscape is depicted in the background. There is a thick crop of shadowy trees directly behind the sitters’ heads, with the hazy blue tones of atmospheric perspective distancing the landscape from the sitters in the foreground, as it also serves to draw the viewer’s eye to the faces of the sitter. In the sky above, there are an abundance of pillowy white clouds with patches of pale blue sky peeking from behind in several places. The artist’s name is clearly signed in red along the bottom left side of the portrait. The large pastel is at 35 x 28 inches, and is in pristine condition, with only a few areas of visible restoration. Lion displays his virtuosity with the pastel medium, particularly with his differentiation of the different textures throughout the image—lifelike skin, the different textures of cloth in the sitters’ attire, the shiny jewelry, and the distant landscape background. This portrait stands out as the masterpiece of Lion’s oeuvre.

The portrait was featured in the 1976 show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Selections of Nineteenth-Century Afro-American Art, in which it appeared as the catalogue cover. Most recently, the portrait was in the 2006 travelling exhibition, Portraits of a People: Picturing African Americans in the Nineteenth Century, curated by the art historian Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw. The exhibition travelled to the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, the Delaware Museum of Art in Wilmington, DE, and finally to the Long Beach Museum of Art in Long Beach, CA, and once again was included in the exhibition catalogue.

Besides the portrait’s rare exhibition, it has received substantial scholarly attention since the 1970s. As art historians have tried to make the field of American art increasingly more inclusive by recovering works by Black artists and centering Black sitters, the Lion portrait has been repeatedly included. For example, a discussion of the portrait was included in the catalogue for David Driskell’s groundbreaking 1976 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Two Centuries of Black American Art, despite the fact that the portrait itself was not included in the exhibition.

Likewise, William Keyes Rudolph discussed the portrait in his exhibition catalogue for the 2010 show, In Search of Julien Hudson: Free Artists of Color in Pre-Civil War New Orleans at The Historic New Orleans Collection, even though the pastel was not in the show. Additionally, the portrait has been included in the publications of scholars such as Patricia Brady, Judith Wilson, and Sara M. Picard. The academic attention, combined with the portrait’s inclusion in a few major exhibitions and its otherwise inaccessibility, have elevated the work to legendary status.

The legendary status of the Lion portrait is further augmented by the presumed racial identities of the sitters as well as their relationship to each other, what is believed to be known about Lion’s biography, and finally, the purported identities of the portrait’s subjects. Although the historical evidence about the race of each sitter, Lion’s race, and the identities of the sitters here are uncertain, the same narratives continue to be repeated by scholars as they cite one another without reexamining the archival records. The reason that scholars have been comfortable to repeat the mythologies about Lion and the portrait’s subjects is because if they are true, the stories make an extraordinary painting even more astonishing.

In the iconic words from John Ford’s 1962 film, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, “when the legend becomes fact, print the legend.”

The reason the portrait has long fascinated so many scholars is because, as art historian Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw wrote in her 2006 exhibition catalogue Portraits of a People, it is an image “which speak[s] to the complexities of family relationships and racial identification in Louisiana of the 1830s and ‘40s.” Indeed, the intimate pose depicted by Lion, as the two men stand together with their hands clasped and arms around one another, along with their similar facial features, indicates a loving familial bond. Furthermore, Lion’s careful handling of the two sitters’ skin tones creates a presumption that the two men are in fact a white father and his mixed race son. While it is never safe to make assumptions about the racial identities of sitters in nineteenth-century Louisiana portraits, Lion went through great pains to deliberately give the young man a deeper skin tone. Considering Lion’s adept use of the pastel medium throughout the rest of the image, it is evident this was intentional. Therefore, if this does represent a father and his mixed race son, the remarkable portrait is the only known example that illustrates a white father openly acknowledging his mixed race son in nineteenth-century American art. Furthermore, the image challenges viewers’ ideas and assumptions about race in the antebellum South, especially in a place like Louisiana, where affiliations across racial and caste boundaries were particularly complex. The image’s popularity is due, in part, to the astonishing and open interracial relationship it highlights—one that was exceedingly uncommon in the United States in the 1840s and is not known to have been visualized elsewhere.

“the image challenges viewers’ ideas and assumptions about race in the antebellum South, especially in a place like Louisiana, where affiliations across racial and caste boundaries were particularly complex”

Lion’s racial identity has also recently been challenged. Lion was born in Paris, where he was academically trained and exhibited in the Paris Salon before following the examples of his many colleagues by immigrating to New Orleans where there was a thriving market for patronizing French immigré portraitists. Once in the city, he worked as a prominent lithographer, painter, art teacher, and he was credited with introducing the daguerreotype (the first economical photographic method to be used commercially in the nineteenth century) to the city in 1843. In her essay, “Racing Jules Lion,” Sara M. Picard explains that Jules Lion appeared with the designation of “f.m.c.,” or “free man of color,” in the New Orleans city directories from 1851 to 1856, but that all other documents of his life make no mention of his race, which indicates that he was believed to be white. Additionally, she argues that throughout his entire body of work, he only depicted two people of color, including the portrait here. The conclusion she reaches from her reexamination of the extant documents of Lion’s life and career suggest that he was a French immigrant to Louisiana of Jewish heritage. Although parts of Picard’s argument, like the fact that his predominantly white patrons indicates that he himself was white, have been challenged, her reassessment does make a significant point—namely, the necessity for new scholarship and a reexamination of the archival records on important works of art such as this portrait. Positing that Lion was Jewish and not a free man of color, does not diminish the cultural value of this portrait, or its significance within the African American art canon. Rather, it gives more complexity and nuance to the history of race and race relations in the nineteenth-century, in the same way as the portrait’s composition.

Finally, recent scholarship has questioned the sitters’ identities as well. Since the portraits appeared in the 1976 exhibition catalogue produced by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the portrait has been known as Ashur Moses Nathan and Son. In the catalogue, Regenia A. Perry firmly identifies the portraits’ sitters. Additionally, she weaves an intriguing story about the sitters and their relationship to Jules Lion himself. Ashur Moses Nathan was a Jewish man born in Amsterdam, who immigrated to Louisiana and became a successful dry goods merchant in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. His wife died in 1852, leaving no children from the union. Although Nathan had a nephew to whom he could have bequeathed his estate, instead he chose to petition the state of Louisiana to adopt the mixed race, Achille Leon (the records from the Louisiana state legislature’s special act spell his name “Achille Leon,” not Achile Lion.” Louisiana names frequently appeared without consistency throughout archival records, so it is possible that his name was also spelled “Achile Lion” in other documents). His request was granted on March 12, 1859 by a special act of the state legislature. Following the adoption, Nathan went on to draft a will in 1862 that left most of his estate to Achille Leon, as well as $8,000 to Anna Lion (presumably Achille’s sister). The lengths Nathan went through to officially adopt Achille, and to ensure that he could safely pass his estate onto him and his sister after his death, is a strong indication that Achille and Anna were his biological, extramarital mixed race children. Moreover, Nathan’s actions in securing the succession of his property to those mixed race children rather than his white nephew, indicates a close paternal relationship. However, Regenia Perry further argues that Achille Lion is not only Nathan’s biological son, but also Jules Lion’s stepson, the issue of Jules Lion’s unidentified mixed race wife and Nathan prior to her marriage. Perry’s evidence for this is an entry in the 1844 notarial archive that lists Jules Lion as having a son named Achile in his home. Perry writes, “that there were two Achile Lions in New Orleans in the 1840s seems improbable.” Yet, in a francophone city like New Orleans, neither the name “Achile” or “Lion” were uncommon.

Despite the conjectures made by the author of the Met’s Selections of Nineteenth-Century Afro-American Art exhibition catalogue, the truth is that the portrait itself visually corroborates the account of Nathan and his son Achile. Nathan’s concerted efforts to adopt the young man and to secure his inheritance are echoed in the loving embrace of the sitters in the Lion’s portrait. Furthermore, the story woven in the Met’s catalogue is deeply compelling, underlining the convoluted mixtures and relationships across racial boundaries that happened throughout Louisiana’s history. In her essay, “Optical Illusions: Images of Miscegenation in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century American Art,” Judith Wilson neatly summarizes the effect this story has on the portrait’s interpretation when she writes, “the image would have served not only as a stepfather’s record of his stepson’s true paternity, but also as a biracial artist’s symbolic reference to his own mixed ancestry as well as to a crucial aspect of his wife’s past.”

In the end, however, there is no known archival evidence to substantiate the attribution that the sitters depicted in this portrait are Ashur Moses Nathan and Achille Leon. In fact, in her 1976 article, Alberta Collier, an art critic for The Times Picayune asked the anonymous art dealer if he knew the portrait to depict Nathan and his son, to which he replied that “he had never had any information as to the sitters.” Collier concludes her article by saying, “This does not, in itself, mean that the sitters are not Achile and Nathan. It indicates, however, that much more research is needed before they can positively be identified as the principals involved in the Louisiana legislative act of March 12, 1859.” This is the salient point—this unique and intriguing portrait has captivated viewers for decades because of the essential questions it raises about race and interracial mixing in Louisiana history, but also in the nation’s history. The pastel is compelling because of the myriad ways it dismantles neat assumptions about the strict American racial binary, as well as the role inhabited by people of African descent in nineteenth-century America. Despite the fact that the artist was probably Jewish and not a free man of color, and that the sitters cannot be firmly identified as Ashur Moses Nathan and his son, Achille, the captivating visual record of interracial familial ties the portrait depicts will compel the next generation of researchers to return to the documentary evidence and continue to work at solving the mystery of this portrait, thereby further enhancing the complex story of African American art.

Note: Marshall Joseph Smith, Jr. was among the most talented and preeminent painters of Louisiana bayou and swamp scenes of the late 19th century. While maintaining a studio in New Orleans, Smith traveled extensively throughout the rural isolated countryside of southern Louisiana, at the time accessible only by boat or horse. Smith’s paintings reveal his intimate knowledge of the particulars of life in the rural Acadian communities.

By contemporary accounts, Smith was a favorite student of the dean of Louisiana landscape painting, Richard Clague. Upon finishing his studies in art at Virginia’s Washington College, Smith returned to New Orleans in 1869 and furthered his studies with Clague in his studio, and later during a Grand Tour of Europe. Smith’s sensitive and masterful brushwork, subtle and effective use of color, and his ability to interpret and respond to the landscape in his own personal style made him a highly respected, exhibited and collected artist of his day.

Of the three masters of Louisiana landscape paintings, Richard Clague, William Henry Buck and Marshall

J. Smith, Jr., Smith was the least prolific. To appease his parents, Smith worked as a clerk and as an agent in his father’s insurance company. Additionally, as a founding member of the Krewe of Proteus, he designed their annual Mardi Gras floats and tableaux. Smith’s personal time to devote to traveling and painting his alluring and evocative Louisiana landscapes was limited, making his paintings particularly rare on the market today.

In the large canvas offered here, Smith’s complex composition centers around an imposing moss-laden live oak tree which anchors a farmstead with barn and distant structures. The tree provides shade for the cows resting beneath it, while a companion cow is being tended by a girl in the foreground in a charming vignette with figure, trough and animal. The low horizon line provides space for an expansive sky with floating wispy clouds above the open fields. The combination of the rarity of Smith paintings, clear artistic expertise in brushwork, nostalgic historical quality of rural southern Louisiana life, as well as the magnitude in scale of “Bucolic Louisiana Farmstead with Moss-Draped Live Oaks” contribute to the importance and significance of this exceptional offering.

Note: The pair of charming portraits presented here depict Ephraim French, Jr. and his wife, Rebecca Abrams French. Ephraim is shown dressed in the height of fashion with a complementary coiffure, while Rebecca is wearing a stylish gown with jewels in her hair, gold hoops in her ears and delicate tendrils of hair on her forehead – a sophisticated young couple charismatically represented.

Ephraim was born August 26, 1778 in Amherst, New Hampshire to Sergeant Ephraim French and Hannah French. The senior French served as a corporal and sergeant in Captain William Barron’s company in the American Revolution. Rebecca Abrams was born May 27, 1786 in Groton, Massachusetts to William Abrams and his wife Anna Abrams (née Flagg).

Note: In the intriguing panoramic landscape on offer here, the mysterious artist “R. Hirsch” depicts a quotidian nineteenth century scene along the Mississippi river. In this sweeping view, reminiscent of other landscapes from the era executed by famed Louisiana artists such as Richard Clague, Robert Brammer, William Henry Buck, Marshall Joseph Smith and Charles Giroux, the viewer is treated to a portmanteau of some of these artists’ most charming visual devices and cues. The similarities to other notable works of the same genre likely indicate that Hirsch was painting with or on the periphery of the Bayou School and its luminaries.

The expansive foreground highlights the wide, winding river which leads the eye upwards to the low horizon line in the background. The shores are dotted with signs of rural life, including a woodshed, pirogues, houses and a far-off homestead. Completing the painting are hazy moss-draped oak trees, a small sailboat, and a distant steamboat rounding the bend. While the enigmatic artist, “R. Hirsch” remains a mystery, this painting is a charismatic and enticing compliment to the existing body of nineteenth century Louisiana river landscapes.

Note: Known for his dynamic approach to traditional portraiture, George Condo has been highly celebrated for his figurative works since the 1980s, with a signature style that marries portrait painting with art historical inquiry. His particularly rich and imaginative visual language pays homage to a wide range of traditions and genres, bringing together elements from portraits by European masters to contemporary American culture.

Condo’s works are most often occupied by singular characters, featuring bulging eyes, bulbous noses and proliferating appendages. The artist describes his portraits as mixtures of various psychological states painted in different ways, reflecting the madness of everyday life. He coins this style “artificial realism” - defined by the painter as the “realistic representation of what is artificial.” “There was a time when I realized that the central focal point of portraiture did not have to be representational in any way,” he once remarked, “you don’t need to paint the body to show the truth about a character.”

The first public exhibitions of Condo’s work were held in New York City at various East Village galleries from 1981 to 1983. During this period, he worked in Andy Warhol’s Factory, primarily in the silkscreen production studio. Condo was featured in his first solo show in 1983 at the Ulrike Kantor Gallery in Los Angeles. After returning to New York later that year, he made his first trip to Europe where he began working with American art dealer Barbara Gladstone. In 1984, he had two simultaneous gallery exhibitions in New York at Pat Hearn and Barbara Gladstone Galleries. Already close friends with Jean-Michel Basquiat, Condo met Keith Haring with whom he would remain close friends until Haring’s death in 1990. Several of Condo’s most significant works from this period, such as “Dancing to Miles” from 1985 which was included in the 1987 Whitney Biennial and is now in the collection of the Broad Foundation in Los Angeles, were painted in Keith Haring’s East Village studio. From 1985 to 1995, Condo lived and worked mostly in hotels and rented or borrowed studios between Paris and New York, while continuing to exhibit extensively in the United States and Europe.

In the 1985 work offered here, Condo fuses his iconic cartoon-like figure with human form into a state of metamorphosis, simultaneously reflecting a plethora of emotions and gestures. With this single portrait, Condo does what he does best and exactly what led to his status as one of the greatest American painters today – connect the figurative tradition of the Old Masters to the gestural abstraction of the late twentieth century in a psychological mash-up all his own.

Note: Mitchell Lonas’ current artistic style was inspired by a chance encounter with three bird nests in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. In an attempt to capture the delicate, almost weightless nature of the nests, Lonas derived a method of incising painted steel or aluminum panels. The resultant effects are as dynamic as they are mesmerizing. This incising technique allows the viewer to discover new subtle details in the work with a change of light or perspective. The longer one looks at them the more one is captivated. His pieces, such as the present lot, offer a combination of haunting surreality and naturalistic rendering, the amalgamation of which rewards the viewer in new and exciting ways upon each viewing.

Note: Simon Gunning has been painting Louisiana scenes since he moved to the state in the early 1980s. While fascinated by the scenery in general, it is the element of water in particular that most holds his interest. In his native Australia he often admired his country’s own traditional landscape painters, and his compositions, style, and overall execution have often been compared to the great European romantic artists. However, Gunning always chooses the objectively unromantic view, focusing less on nature’s untouched beauty in favor of the manmade additions to the scenery and finding the beauty in the contrast. His naturalistic landscapes are peppered with broken down ships, abandoned buildings, rusted metal bridges and workboats – the use and decay of an industrial society. In a way, he is creating a dialogue exploring the modern day rarity of the beautiful and raw landscapes that were so celebrated by artists working in the romantic tradition such as those of the Hudson River School. In contemporary Louisiana, the occurrence of an untouched and untainted landscape is virtually nonexistent. There is, though, a new type of Romanticism featured in Gunning’s decay and the mystery and wonder provoked by the industrial ruins that pervade these works.

In the painting offered here, a wrecked boat is juxtaposed against a functioning one, both entangled in the dark swamp. The presence of human activity is denoted by two figures fishing on the waterline. The painting expertly investigates the concept of destruction and rejuvenation and can be interpreted as a modern take on the age-old depiction of the cycles of life and death – the shrimp boats that bring food for the community are destined to one day be someone else’s old ruins and fishing haunts. This painting was done in 2005, not long before Hurricane Katrina, which adds a certain prophetic quality that drives home Gunning’s point. In discussing Gunning’s works, critic Doug McCash confidently states that they are “…the best depictions of Louisiana’s watery coastal landscape ever made — ever. Better than Meeker, Clague, Buck, Heldner, Coulon, Millet or anyone else who ever tried to capture that impenetrable muddy water and endless vista on canvas.”

Note: For this mural, New Orleans artist Robert Tannen enlisted the help of fellow artists, neighbors, friends and students to create a community piece for New Orleans’ celebrated exhibition Prospect.2. The canvas was hung in his and his wife, Jeanne Nathan’s recently acquired Holy Cross studio christened “The Art House on the Levee,” an artistic haven that also serves as a backdrop for local meetings. As Susan Langenhennig from The Times-Picayune reported: “Tannen provided the paint and stood back. He offered guidance, if asked, but no rules. Graffiti artists worked alongside folks with art school educations and kids used to finger paints. One woman brought her infant daughter, dipped the child’s feet in the colors and painted with them…” Tori Bush, Dapper Bruce Lafitte, Clifton Webb, and “at least 30 other Committee Citizen Artists” all contributed to the piece.

[$12000/18000] Ill.: Rice, Anne. Memnoch the Devil. New Orleans: B.E. Trice Publishing, 1995, cover.

Note: This iconic painting by George Dureau was featured on the cover of the special first edition of Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice, published by B.E. Trice Publishing. The painting, entitled “Instructing Adam,” features some of the same mythological creatures that typically inhabit Dureau’s works. Rice, a popular author and noted New Orleans resident, is known for her gothic fiction featuring God, the devil, vampires and witches, among other fantastical beings. With colorful New Orleans as a popular backdrop for her novels, it is not surprising that her creative concept meshes perfectly with Dureau’s artistic vision.

[$5000/7000] Note: The English furniture-making firm Gillow & Co. is wellknown for its quality. First based in Lancaster, Lancashire, and then in London, it was founded by Robert Gillow in 1730. Gillows was owned by the family until 1814 when it was taken over by Redmayne, Whiteside, and Ferguson, who continued to use the Gillow name. Gillows furniture is referred to by Jane Austen, Thackeray and the first Lord Lytton, and a Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera.

The use of amboyna veneers and high style Neo Grec design on this desk indicate it was made during the peak years of the quality of the firm’s production. It relates closely to a Gillow table at the National Trust property Hanbury Hall, Worcestershire (acc: NT 41450).

Note: "At a young age when I was first learning about New Orleans free people of color none fascinated me more than Basile Crokere, also known as the ‘Cameo Man’ because of his love of carved cameos. Basile Raphael Crocker was a New Orleans free man of color. Basile owned a small plantation on the right side of Bayou Road in 1835. H was an early real estate developer in Treme. He bought and built houses on the 1200 and 1300 blocks of Ursulines Street. He was a fencing master and had a fencing school on Bayou Road, near Claiborne. His school Salle d’Armes was always crowded with students. The Creole gentry did not scruple to cross swords with him in private assaults. Crokere was said to be one of the handsomest men of New Orleans. With dignity he walked down the street in his green broadcloth suit with spotless linen and the widest of black stocks around his neck. He was famous for his collection of carved cameos. He wore cameo rings, breast pins and even a cameo bracelet. Basile was also a skilled mathematician and a craftsman of some reputation.

As a carpenter he became one of the most skilled builders of staircases in New Orleans. Only one other man was his equal in this trade, his friend Noel J. Bacchus. Crokere was 79 at his death in 1879 and was survived by his wife Antoinette Hazeur.”– Andrew LaMar Hopkins Ref.: Hopkins, Andrew. “Colorful Creoles, The Lifestyle & Legacy of New Orleans Free People of Color.

Provenance: Questroyal Fine Art, New York, NY

Note: Ilya Schor was a renowned artist of Judaica working on commissions for synagogues and featured in exhibitions throughout the United States. He worked in diverse media – jewelry, metalwork, painting and sculpture. Schor was born in 1904 in Złoczów in Galicia, later Poland. In 1937, while studying painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Schor was awarded a grant to study in Paris. He and his wife, Resia who was also an artist, moved to Paris where he showed his work at the Salon d’Automne in 1938. They later fled the Holocaust in 1941 and immigrated to New York City where they eventually had two daughters.

477. Ilya Schor (American, 1904-1961), “Village Scene”, gouache on board, signed lower left, 8 1/8 in. x 10 1/8 in., framed. [$4000/6000] Neal Auction would like to thank Mira Schor for her assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.

Though he spent twenty years in the United States, Schor’s mind and artistic depictions frequently harkened back to his roots in the small villages of Galicia. Schor’s works are remembrances of a place and time that no longer existed after the Second World War. According to Schor’s daughter, Mira Schor, the work presented here “…is a naturalistic scene of the rural outskirts of his hometown…most likely painted in New York City in the late 1940s or early 1950s.” The vibrant painting portrays the daily tasks of villagers with a loose style and brushwork reminiscent of folk artists of the turn of the century.

Centered in the composition is a robust tree, perhaps a nod to the “tree of life,” a traditional Judeo-Christian motif, and one that Schor often utilized.

Note: A keen observer of class dynamics, Guy Pène du Bois built a successful artistic career documenting the bourgeois lives of the Parisians and Americans he encountered throughout his lifetime. Born to Louisiana writer and journalist, Henri Pène du Bois, Guy inherited his father’s enthusiasm for the French language and culture. In 1905, after spending his early career studying under Robert Henri and William Merritt Chase and alongside fellow students George Bellows and Edward Hopper, he traveled to Paris with his father where his work was exhibited in the Paris Salon for the first time that same year. Due to his father falling ill, he was forced to return to New York in 1906. There, he would go on to become an art critic for the New York Tribune and remain involved in the local art scene, even helping to organize the 1913 Armory Show, which included several of his works. Du Bois would return to Paris in 1924 for a few years to focus on painting, before settling in New York once again to teach at his own art school and the Art Students League.

While he was known primarily as a satirist of social scenes, du Bois’ painting on offer here is a rare and tender still life. The pink, white and red tones of the flowers glow against the saturated blue background, and the artist’s expert and effortless brushwork is demonstrated in the shading of the vase and the petals of the flowers. Painted later in his life, this 1948 composition is a haunting example of du Bois’ mature talent.

Note: Noted artist and inspiring teacher, Hobson Pittman was born in Edgecombe County, North Carolina to a merchant father and devoutly religious mother. Both sides of his family had long ties to eastern North Carolina. By the time he was sixteen, both of his parents had died, and Pittman moved to Philadelphia to live with a married sister. Pittman studied art at the Penn State University in State College and the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh before attending Columbia University and the Woodstock Summer Art School in New York. He left to study in Europe in 1928, the first of many trips he would make in his lifetime.

During the 1930s and 1940s, he developed the stylistic and iconographic means through which he explored themes of loneliness and memory in his work—subjects he shared with numerous Southern writers of the period.

Pittman became most well-known for his impressionist still lifes and arresting scenes of domestic interiors. In the work offered here from 1937, a scene of luxurious camping under the stars merges the indoors with nature in a setting illuminated by moonlight, appearing almost otherworldly or perhaps as in a dream of a distant memory of a happy childhood moment in North Carolina.

As Ben F. Williams states in his foreword to the Hobson Pittman: Retrospective Exhibition His Work Since 1920 exhibition catalogue for the North Carolina Museum of Art in 1963, “Hobson Pittman’s works uniquely provide a continuity that would otherwise be lacking in any chronological recording through art of North Carolina’s past….it remained, then, for Hobson Pittman to set down in his poetic and gentle way his echoing of things past.”

Note: Paul Ninas lived and worked in New Orleans from 1932 until his death in 1964. After his arrival in the city, his modernist Caribbean subjects transitioned to South Louisiana ones – classic street scenes, local industry, wharves and of course, Carnival. The large-scale graphite drawing offered here captures all the frenetic energy, chaos, and licentiousness of a Mardi Gras parade route. The line of figures, facing the passing horse-drawn float barely seen in the background, reach for tokens thrown by riders and otherwise engage in Mardi Gras revelry. The careful details of the masks, costumes, and discarded wine bottle manifest into a timeless scene of the annual bacchanalian celebration.

495. Paul Ninas (American/New Orleans, 1903-1964), “Untitled (Carnival Scene)”, c. 1938, graphite on paper, unsigned, artist estate label with title and date on backing paper, 17 1/2 in. x 35 in., framed. [$10000/15000] Provenance: Collection of Allison Kendrick, The Carroll-Crawford House, New Orleans.

The strong horizontal format of the drawing lends credence to the thought that the work is likely a study for a mural. Ninas completed two WPA murals, one at the Maybin School in New Orleans and the other in the post office of Henderson, Texas, but sadly neither survived. He also was privately commissioned to create a four-panel mural at the Sazerac Bar in 1938 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans and, in 1945, three large panels for the Delta Line, an ocean-going passenger steamship based in New Orleans. This drawing bears striking stylistic similarity to the murals in the Sazerac Bar, likely completed around the same time.

Note:“Art is the creative use of the human imagination to interpret, understand and enjoy life.” – Edward Schoenberger

Edward Schoenberger, who was Paul Ninas’ studio assistant and friends with John McCrady, was a talented artist whose body of work has been frequently overlooked, even though he is often mentioned alongside his famous New Orleans contemporaries. He studied at the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans, the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Art, and the Art Students League of New York. No stranger to working on a grand scale, Schoenberger was commissioned by the WPA in 1940 to paint a mural for the New Orleans Public Library branch at 2940 Canal Street. The resulting work, entitled “The History of Printing,” was deemed at the time the largest mural in the United States on a single canvas at nine feet tall and forty-eight feet wide, and it depicted the development of the written word from ancient history to modern day.

The monumental painting by Schoenberger on offer here was featured in pride of place in the famous Carroll-Crawford House in the Garden District. Those who have been fortunate enough to spend time within the manse’s walls will immediately recognize this modernist masterpiece from where it was prominently displayed in the grand stairwell. At an astounding 108 inches in length, this impressive canvas serves as a sensational debut for the artist on the secondary market. In it, Schoenberger executed his figures with confident brushstrokes and a bold palette, bringing to life the performing musicians. The color scheme and composition are reminiscent of Henri Matisse’s 1909 painting “Dance (I)” with hints of the figural elements of Pablo Picasso’s “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.” One can also see Schoenberger’s close ties to the New Orleans modernists, such as the aforementioned Ninas. On a grand scale, the artist proves himself to be equal to the great artists of the day, with a distinctive viewpoint uniquely his own.

Attributed to ARTIST - In our qualified opinion, we believe the work may be ascribed to the artist named on the basis of style and period, but our opinion is less certain than in the previous category.

Signed “ARTIST” - In our qualified opinion, the signature, monogram, or other indication of authorship is a signature of the artist.

School of ARTIST - In our qualified opinion, the work is of the period of the artist named, by a student or a follower of the artist, but not by the artist.

Manner of ARTIST - In our qualified opinion, although the work is in the style of the artist named, it is actually of a later period.

After ARTIST - In our qualified opinion, the work is a copy of a known work of the artist named.

Bears signature “ARTIST” - In our qualified opinion, although the work bears the signature or monogram of the artist, the work most likely is not that of the artist.

Notwithstanding the foregoing Conditions of Sale, WAIVERS OF WARRANTY, and LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale of a work of fine art on the basis of authenticity of authorship only under the following terms, conditions, and LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, all of which apply, and the buyer WAIVES and RELEASES any other rights, relief or remedies: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission of any lot identified by the terms “attributed to,” “signed,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “bears signature.”

C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery.

D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights or interests of the original buyer are not transferrable, inheritable, or assignable.

E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (a) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (b) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of auction, although expert opinion may have changed afterward; and (c) scientific or other tests, examinations, investigations, research, or processes that were unavailable, expensive, or impractical at the time of the auction have revealed since that time that the author, character, condition, kind, provenance, period, quality, or value Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate.

In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and the bidder or buyer regarding authorship of a work of fine art, rescission of the sale and refund of the purchase price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available. Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, agents, insurers, and employees) shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorneys’ fees, or any other monetary, declaratory, equitable, or injunctive relief or remedy. The buyer WAIVES and RELEASES any and all such damages, relief, and remedies.

AUCTION BIDDING AND SALE 1.

The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the highest and best bid on each lot. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the lot offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, and the auctioneer may reject or refuse to recognize that bid or advance.

2.

At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, whether in person or absentee, thereupon assumes the obligation to pay for the offered lot, and shall pay the full purchase price for the lot, which shall include the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, and all applicable taxes, charges, and costs.

3.

Title to the offered lot shall pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer upon payment of the full purchase price for the lot, which shall include the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, and all applicable taxes, charges, and costs. The buyer thereupon assumes full risk, obligation, and responsibility for the lot.

4.

At any time before the sale of a lot, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to withdraw the lot or any part of the lot, to combine lots, or to separate items within a lot.

5.

No lots will be released before the end of the auction.

6.

If the buyer fails to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to (a) hold such defaulting buyer liable, obligated, and responsible for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings to recover the entire amount along with interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs; (b) charge outstanding amounts to the buyer’s credit card; (c) apply any payments to outstanding amounts chosen by Neal Auction Company notwithstanding the instructions of the buyer; (d) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; (e) resell the lot without reserve at public auction, online-only auction, or privately on seven calendar days’ notice to the buyer; (f) enforce specific performance of the sale; (g) require a deposit in future auctions; (h) exclude the buyer from future auctions or bidding on particular lots; (i) exercise the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over property in Neal Auction Company’s possession, whether by pledge, security interest or any other mechanism, to the full extent allowed under Louisiana law, and Neal Auction Company may hold the property of the buyer as collateral security for the buyer’s obligations; (j) and/or take such other actions allowed by law in Neal Auction Company’s sole discretion. If Neal Auction Company resells the lot, the defaulting buyer shall be liable, obligated, and responsible for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and any damages, including but not limited to all costs and expenses of both sales, such as, by way of example only, storage, handling, insurance, repairs, illustrations, consultations, examinations, moving, shipping, promotions, advertising, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, and incidental damages.

7.

Virtually all lots offered have been subject to use over a considerable period of time. No mention of cracks, scratches, chips, tears, breaks, weaknesses, or any damages or wear will be included in oral, written, or electronic statements or descriptions in the catalogue, website, correspondence, advertising, or literature.

Condition reports may be provided upon request, but condition reports may not mention all cracks, scratches, chips, defects, hazards, tears, breaks, weaknesses, or other damages or wear. Neal Auction Company makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any information or description in a condition report or elsewhere, whether oral, written, electronic, or online. Neal Auction Company reserves the right to decline to provide a condition report for any specific lot, at its sole discretion.

8.

Neither high nor low estimates in a catalogue, website, advertising, correspondence, literature, or elsewhere should be relied on as a representation, prediction, appraisal, guarantee, or warranty that a particular lot will sell for a particular price or that a particular lot has a particular value.

9.

Neal Auction Company has absolute discretion to admit a bidder to the auction premises, to expel a bidder from the auction premises, or to refuse a bidder from participating in the auction.

10. Neal Auction Company and its auctioneers shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for failure to recognize or execute any bids for any reason whatsoever, or for no reason. Bidders and buyers WAIVE and RELEASE any rights to damages, and equitable, declaratory, and injunctive relief arising out of the failure or rejection of any bid, or any errors or omissions relating to the bidding process.

11.

Interfering with the auction in any way is prohibited.

13.

Canvassing or solicitating on the auction premises is prohibited.

12. Bid rigging is strictly prohibited. Any agreement, understanding, or arrangement not to bid against another or otherwise to dampen the bidding is unlawful. The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of the consignor for the protection of the consignor if this illegal activity by two or more bidders is detected, disclosed, alleged, or suspected.

14. The auctioneer has the sole discretion as to the increments of bidding, the recognition of any bid, the acceptance of the final bid, and resolving any disputes among bidders.

15. Neal Auction Company represents the consignors only and is not acting as agent or representative of bidders or buyers. The payment of the buyer’s premium by the buyer does not indicate a dual agency relationship. Neal Auction Company is to be paid a fee or commission by the consignor pursuant to a separate written agreement between the consignor and Neal Auction Company. The consignor is the seller of the lot sold. Neal Auction Company is the consignment agent or representative, not the seller.

16. The successful bidder is obligated to pay the purchase price in full unless Neal Auction Company has consented in writing at the time of the bidder’s registration that the bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of an identified person and that said principal is obligated to pay the purchase price in full. Neal Auction Company reserves the right to require an advance deposit for such bids.

17. Prior to placing any bid, all bidders must complete a standard Neal Auction Company Registration Form in use at the time of the auction.

18.

Dealers must provide Neal Auction Company with proper documentation prior to bidding.

20.

Bids are required to be made in U.S. dollars.

19.

First time bidders are required to produce a valid state-issued identification card or passport.

21. Neal Auction Company may require a bidder or buyer at any time to produce financial, banking, or trade references and information.

22. All bidders are required to provide credit card information (such as but not limited to the type of card, card number, name as it appears on the card, billing zip code, expiration date, and security code).

100

23. All bidders are required to select, and notify Neal Auction Company of, a method of payment (cash, check, wire, or credit card) in writing at the time of registration.

24. Neal Auction Company reserves the right to describe or to make photographic, video, or audio recordings of the auction, or any part thereof, and to publish such descriptions, photographs and/or recordings.

25. Lots may be offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum hammer price below which the lot will not be sold, for the protection of the consignor. Such reserve will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the consignor, auctioneer, or an absentee bidder that is below the reserve. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the consignor, auctioneer, or absentee bidder up to the amount of the reserve, by placing consecutive bids or by bidding in response to other bidders. Neal Auction Company may sell a lot at a hammer price below the reserve at its discretion, subject to its agreement with the consignor.

ABSENTEE/TELEPHONE/ONLINE BIDS 1.

All absentee bids and/or telephone bids must be received by Neal Auction Company by 5 p.m. Central Time the Thursday prior to the auction.

2.

All arrangements for bidding should be made as early as possible. Telephone bidding will be taken at the discretion of Neal Auction Company. Each lot must have a minimum low estimate of $500 for telephone bidding. Absentee bids are accepted for any lots regardless of estimate, at the discretion of Neal Auction Company.

3.

Neal Auction Company intends to endeavor to protect the confidentiality of absentee/telephone bids.

In the event that the identity of absentee/telephone bidders or buyers or of the amounts of absentee/ telephone bids is disclosed, Neal Auction Company shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for such disclosure, and each bidder and buyer WAIVES and RELEASES Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) from any claims arising out of such disclosure.

4. Neal Auction Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require that any advance bids be accompanied by a security deposit.

5.

Neal Auction Company shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for any failure, design flaw, error, act, omission, or negligence of third party sites or their agents. Bidders WAIVE and RELEASE any rights to damages and equitable, declaratory, and injunctive relief and remedies arising therefrom.

6. Prior to placing any absentee, telephone, or online bid, all bidders are required to complete the applicable Registration Form prior to such bidding.

7.

In the event of ambiguity, uncertainty, or discrepancy, the lot number and not the lot description on any bid will be deemed to be the lot on which the bid is made.

8.

If more than one absentee bid on a particular lot is received with the same maximum bid amount, and that bid amount is the highest and best bid for the lot, the lot will be sold to the bidder whose absentee bid was accepted first by Neal Auction Company after receiving it. If a bid placed on a lot by a bidder who is physically present at the auction is identical to an absentee bid for the lot and is the highest and best bid for the lot, the lot will be sold to the person who is physically present at the auction. If a bid placed on a lot by a bidder who is present at the auction (in person or by telephone) is identical to an absentee bid for the lot and is the highest and best bid for the lot, the lot will be sold to the person who is present at the auction (in person or by telephone).

9.

Neal Auction Company reserves the right to record any telephone bidding or conversation relating to said bidding, or any part thereof, and to publish said recordings. By participating in telephone bidding, the bidder consents to such recording and publication, notwithstanding the laws or regulations of the state or jurisdiction of the bidder.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Unless other arrangements are made and confirmed in writing by Neal Auction Company, all lots must be removed within 15 calendar days of the auction. On the first business day following that time period, any lots remaining in the Neal Auction Company gallery may be turned over to a storage facility, at Neal Auction Company’s discretion. The buyer will be responsible for all handling and storage charges. Handling charges shall be a minimum of $50 per lot. Storage costs shall be a minimum charge of $50 per month per lot. Storage charges accrue monthly and must be paid in full before any lots purchased by the buyer are released. At its discretion, Neal Auction Company may charge the full amount of any storage and handling charges, on a periodic basis, on the buyer’s credit card, including interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month.

All purchased lots will be handled and stored at the buyer’s sole risk and peril. Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for handling or storage, or for any damage to or loss of, any lot after the sale. The buyer WAIVES and RELEASES all such claims against Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees).

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Neal Auction Company retains the copyright and other intellectual property rights to all photographs, video, illustrations, text, and other works in its catalogue, website, advertising, correspondence, literature, and elsewhere. Such photographs, video, illustrations, text, and other works may not be used, copied, published, exhibited, revised, or displayed without the prior written permission of Neal Auction Company.

Neal Auction Company and the consignor make no representation or warranty that the buyer of a lot will acquire any copyright or other intellectual property right or interest in the lot.

IMPORT/EXPORT

Lots made of or incorporating endangered or protected wildlife materials, irrespective of age or amount of material, may require a license or certificate authorizing export from the United States as well as relevant authorizations from the country of import. It is the responsibility of the bidder or buyer to determine and be satisfied that the requirements of any applicable laws and regulations applying to the transportation, whether international or interstate, can be met before bidding. The inability of a buyer to transport lots containing endangered or protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale or discount of the purchase price. Although licenses may be obtainable to export certain types of endangered species, some types may not be exported at all, and other types may not be resold in certain states in the United States. Neal Auction Company cannot assist the bidder or buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and bidders and buyers can be given no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. Each bidder should verify with an attorney or qualified shipping company if uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to export/import license and certificate requirements and any other restrictions or prohibitions on the interstate transportation or exportation from the United States. Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for any oral, written, or electronic advice given or representations made by it or by any shipping company, legal counsel, or other person. Buyers WAIVE and RELEASE any and all claims against Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) relating to such advice and representations.

MANDATORY AND EXCLUSIVE FORUM SELECTION; CHOICE OF LAW

PAYMENT

Any action of any nature brought by a bidder or buyer against Neal Auction Company (and/or its owners, directors, officers, representatives, insurers, and/or employees) and/or the consignor of any lot in any court, whether federal or state, shall be brought exclusively in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Every bidder and buyer agrees to submit to jurisdiction and venue in federal or state court in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, waives all objections or challenges to such jurisdiction or venue, and waives any rights to jurisdiction or venue in any other forum. Any dispute between the bidder or buyer and Neal Auction Company (and/or its owners, directors, officers, representatives, insurers, and/or employees) and/or the consignor of any lot shall be governed by the law of the State of Louisiana, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles.

2.

The successful online bidder shall pay a buyer’s premium in the amount of 28% of the hammer price on each lot. A discount for payments made by cash, check, or wire transfer is not available for purchases made by online bidders.

MISCELLANEOUS LEGAL PROVISIONS

1.

The successful bidder (except a successful online bidder) shall pay a buyer’s premium in the amount of 25% of the hammer price on each lot up to and including $200,000, plus 15% of the hammer price greater than $200,000. For payments made by cash, check, or wire transfer (except by online bidders) within 15 calendar days of the auction, the buyer’s premium will be discounted to 22%.

3.

In the event of any dispute, the Neal Auction Company sale record is conclusive.

4.

Unless exempt by law, the buyer will be required to pay Louisiana and local taxes, and, if applicable, any federal luxury or other tax, on the total purchase price.

5.

Documentation of tax exemption must be provided upon registration. Billing name and address of a bidder must agree with that on the sales tax exemption certificate.

6.

Payment in full of the purchase price must be made by the successful bidder in U.S. Dollars within 15 calendar days of the auction. Interest charges of one and one-half percent per month shall apply to invoices paid after this period expires. Neal Auction Company reserves the right to require payment in full of the purchase price immediately following declaration of the successful bidder.

7. Payment for all jewelry purchases must be made by cash, check or wire transfer.

8.

VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are accepted for payment of invoices (except jewelry) up to $25,000 per buyer.

9.

Checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank. All lots shall be held by Neal Auction Company until the check clears.

10. The buyer’s signature on a registration form (or other writing with the buyer’s credit card number) gives Neal Auction Company permission to charge the buyer’s credit card the full amount of the buyer’s invoice if full payment is not received within 15 calendar days of the auction or, in Neal Auction Company’s discretion, to charge the buyer’s credit card later, with interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month.

PACKING, MOVING, SHIPPING, AND DELIVERY

Neal Auction Company may furnish information on packers, movers, or shippers for bidders or buyers making packing, moving, shipping, and delivery arrangements, but Neal Auction Company shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible therefore, and buyers retain packers, movers, and shippers at their own risk and peril. Shipping, moving, packing, and delivery arrangements and agreements are strictly between the buyer and the shipper, mover, or packer. Neal Auction Company shall not be liable, obligated, or responsible for any damage to property, including vehicles, or for any personal injuries of buyer or any third parties involved in packing, moving, shipping, or delivery. Buyers WAIVE and RELEASE Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) from any and all claims relating to packing, moving, shipping, and delivery of purchased lots, and any damage or injuries to persons or property arising therefrom.

If any part of these Conditions of Sale is held to be invalid, null, or unenforceable, that part shall be reformed so as to implement the intent of the parties as expressed herein, and any such holding shall not affect the remaining provisions of these Conditions of Sale, which shall remain in full force and effect, subject to reformation to implement the intent of the parties as expressed herein.

The paragraph headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of these Conditions of Sale.

All prior and contemporaneous representations, communications, and agreements, if any, between the bidder or buyer and Neal Auction Company (and any of its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) relating to any of the lots offered for sale or to the auction or sale are hereby superseded and merged into these Conditions of Sale, which are the entire and only contract between the bidder or buyer and Neal Auction Company relating to the subject matter herein.

Any modifications, amendments, or waivers of these Conditions of Sale must be made in a writing signed by both Neal Auction Company and the bidder or buyer.

In the event of any disputes arising out of the auction or sale of lots or these Conditions of Sale, Neal Auction Company (and its owners, officers, directors, representatives, insurers, agents, and employees) shall not be liable, obligated or responsible for any general, special, exemplary, incidental, or consequential damages (including but not limited to lost profits and attorneys’ fees). Every bidder and buyer WAIVES and RELEASES any rights to such damages. This LIMITATION OF LIABILITY does not, and is not intended to, enlarge or expand any rights or interests of a bidder or buyer that are restricted or limited elsewhere in these Conditions of Sale (including but not limited to the WARRANTY WAIVERS and LIABILITY LIMITATIONS set forth herein).

These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding legal contract between Neal Auction Company and each bidder or buyer. Each bidder and buyer acknowledges having read and understood these Conditions of Sale, WAIVERS OF WARRANTY, and LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. All bidders and buyers further acknowledge that they enter into these Conditions of Sale of their own free will, with full authority, and under no duress or coercion.
