Note: Renowned for his masterpieces portraying French Quarter scenes, William Woodward has become one of the most valuable assets to those studying the history of New Orleans, allowing viewers of his paintings, prints, and drawings to see the city as it was over a century ago, preserving depictions of significant architectural works, many of which no longer exist. One such edifice is the Bazaar Market, built in 1870, a gabled building with an iconic pediment, frieze, and cupolas, which subsisted within the French Market complex along the Mississippi River. Described as one of the oldest and most important structures in the city of New Orleans, the French Market has a long and vivid history. The French Market, comprised of a group of markets each demarcated to sell a certain type of food or dry goods, changed locations several times within an area bordered by the modern day streets St. Ann, Barracks, Chartres, and the Mississippi River. Initially, the area along the levee was used by Native Americans of the Choctaw tribe for trading during the French Colonial period. While no structures were built during this period, it was a central location where French settlers and Choctaw Indians could meet to exchange goods. When Colonial Louisiana came under Spanish rule in 1763, the site was still used, and in 1779 the Spanish government decided to erect a building to provide shelter from the elements for both the people trading, as well as the merchandise being sold.

The vital importance of the markets to the New Orleans community can be seen throughout the history of the city as the market buildings were damaged or ruined by hurricanes and fires in the late 1700s and early 1800s, but always rebuilt immediately. The first permanent structure built, which still exists today, although greatly modified over the years, is the Halle des Boucheries, or Butcher’s Market, on Decatur Street between St. Ann and Dumaine Streets. Built in 1813, and with major renovations in the 1930s and the 1970s, it is now the location of the world famous Café du Monde coffee shop. When originally built, the Butcher’s Market housed stalls only for meat, which needed to stay on ice, while fruits and vegetables were sold outside the market and fish and seafood were sold along the river’s banks. A need for a vegetable market became apparent, and plans for the Halle des Legumes, were begun in 1823. Built on Decatur Street between St. Philip and Ursulines Streets, and completed in 1830, the Vegetable Market has also been extensively renovated over the years, but the original buildings still stand and are now used for commercial businesses. Several other parts of the market complex were established throughout the years, including the three original Red Stores buildings, erected in 1830, which can be seen in the background of the current lot; the Bazaar Market, built in 1870, upon whose iconic structure Woodward chose to focus for this work; and a Fruit Market, which was added to the Vegetable Market in 1871.

On August 20, 1869, a city ordinance was approved to allow bidding for “a contract for the erection of a bazaar market…on the vacant space bounded by the beef market, red stores, Peters street, and the levee.” From historic photographs, such as this exact view from 1890, taken by Georges Francois Mugnier (1855-1936) and printed by Clarence John Laughlin (1905-1985), we can see that the position of the Bazaar Market is precisely as described in the ordinance – the streetcar tracks along North Peters Street to its north, and the Red Stores to its east, while the river would be to its south and the Butcher’s Market to its west. Other historically significant buildings on the opposite side of the streetcar tracks along Decatur Street – the Vegetable Market, Garic’s Bakery, Masich’s Grocery, and Central Grocery (which still operates at 923 Decatur today) can also be seen in alternate views. Perhaps the most distinctive building of the French Market at this time, the Bazaar Market was a natural choice for Woodward to focus upon, and at least one watercolor (sold in these rooms February 2013) and one other Raffaelli crayon picture (located in the collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art) by Woodward of the same scene are known to exist.

209. Oscar Edmund Berninghaus (American/New Mexico, 1874‑1952), “American Indian on Horseback, Taos”, oil on board, signed and inscribed “Taos” lower right, “Noonan‑Kocian Co., St. Louis” sticker en verso, 10 in. x 12 in., framed with artist plaque. $60000/80000 Provenance: Noonan‑Kocian Art Company, St. Louis, MO; Descended in the Gieselman family, St. Louis, MO and New Orleans, LA. Note: Oscar E. Berninghaus began his career in his native St. Louis as a commercial lithographer. In 1899, as a reward for his hard work taking night classes at Washington University and the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, he was given a month’s paid vacation and provided with free passage to the West by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. While visiting Taos, Berninghaus met the artist Bert Phillips, who became a lifelong friend, and was inspired to join the new Taos artist’s colony.

Berninghaus established a seasonal rhythm based on his family’s needs, spending winters in St. Louis pursuing a successful career as a commercial artist and summers in Taos painting the Native Americans, their horses and the landscape. In 1915, he became a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists, one of the most important formal groups of American artists ever established.

Along with Berninghaus, Bert Phillips, Ernest Blumenschein, Buck Dunton, Eager Irving Couse, and Joseph Henry Sharp all joined this group. Their aim was to market their artwork in traveling exhibitions, as there were no galleries in Taos to sell their work at the time. The traveling shows were a great success and galleries in many American cities drew significant crowds to the work of these artists, whose combination of technical, academic skill and a sympathetic approach to the native people and landscapes of New Mexico were of great interest to the urban populace of the day.

The light and landscape of Taos captivated Berninghaus and even when wintering in St. Louis, the sights and scenes of the region were his primary subject matter. This ability to paint what he could not see in front of him, as he did when painting Taos natives from his studio, was both an intellectual exercise and a hard-earned talent developed on sketching trips. Berninghaus believed that art was an emotional exercise, not a representational one. “The painter must first see his picture as paint-as color-as form-and not as a landscape or a figure. He must see with his inner eye, then paint with feeling, not with seeing.”

The two paintings offered here are fine examples of Berninghaus’ Taos paintings and show his short, impressionist brushwork. One depicts a Pueblo Indian on horseback contemplating the mountainous desert landscape. The other shows a group of horses outside an adobe on a Taos street.

The painting offered here depicts a nocturnal view of the French Market, glowing from within, a horse and buggy in the foreground. Richards employed an Impressionist style with soft brushwork, which creates a romantic effect in this charming scene.

(2 pcs.) $7000/10000 Provenance: M.S. Rau, New Orleans, c. 1930s.

224. Paul Poincy (American/ New Orleans, 1833‑1909), “Marie Madeleine Seebold (1866‑1948) at the Easel”, 1890, oil on canvas, signed and dated upper left, “W. E. Seebold, Bookseller, Stationer and Fine Art Dealer, New Orleans” label en verso, 15 in. x 10 in., period frame. $5000/8000 Note: Paul Poincy was part of a diverse group of artists, musicians, writers and prominent New Orleanians who frequented the “Seebold salon” held at the home of W.E. and Lisette Seebold beginning in the 1870s and continuing through the early decades of the 20th century.

W.E. Seebold, a German immigrant, came to Louisiana in the 1850s and after serving as a Private in the Confederate Army, made his home in New Orleans.

After the Civil War, Seebold opened a store on Canal Street, where he profited from the sale of books, stationery, art supplies and frames; he also became an art dealer while simultaneously building his own collection. Through his shop, Seebold formed many important connections in the art and literary circles of New Orleans, which firmly established Seebold and his home as a center of artistic and cultural discussion.

Poincy, in addition to visiting Seebold’s shop and socializing with his family, also at one time rented an art studio above Seebold’s store. Seebold’s daughter, Marie, studied under Poincy, as well as George David Coulon, Bror Anders Wikström and Andrés Molinary.

Collaboration between mentor and student or among colleagues was a common occurrence. Marie Seebold was painted on numerous occasions by Andrés Molinary (whom she later married), and in the work offered here, Poincy’s portrait of Marie at her easel with one of her floral still lifes provides a glimpse into the life of New Orleans artists working at the turn of the 20th century.

225. Ellsworth Woodward (American/New Orleans, 1861‑1939), “Pottery Studio in the Woods”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 24 in. x 30 in., period frame. $2500/3500 Note: As a professor at Newcomb Art School, Ellsworth Woodward was known for his love of teaching and his love of travel. He enjoyed capturing scenes both on campus, such as his renowned painting of Newcomb’s Lotus Fountain and his sketches of students and teachers, as well as documenting his travels throughout the United States, Europe, and Mexico. The large clay pots outside of a building with a red tile roof in the pine forest of this lovely landscape bring to mind the familiar medium that Woodward would have come across in the pottery studios at Newcomb College Art School, where he, along with his brother William, and potters Joseph Meyer and George Ohr, instructed female art students in drawing, painting, and pottery decoration.

226. George Overbury “Pop” Hart (American/Illinois, 1868‑1933), “French Market, New Orleans”, watercolor and graphite on paper, signed lower right, “Enoch’s Framing & Gallery, New Orleans” label en verso, 14 in. x 22 1/4 in., framed. $7000/10000 Provenance: Estate of Martha Ann Samuel, New Orleans, 2006.

Note: A traveler by nature, Pop Hart found himself in New Orleans in 1917; he shared a French Quarter apartment with Jules Pascin (Bulgarian, 1885‑1930) and enjoyed drawing and painting the city’s sights. Always a popular locale, the French Market’s bustling energy and variety of goods on display drew many artists, including Hart, to capture its unique charm.

Note: To be included in John Fowler’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné on William Aiken Walker.

230. William Aiken Walker (American/South Carolina, 1838‑1921), “Cotton Pickers”, oil on clay plate, signed lower left, dia. 10 in., mounted within period frame with red velvet liner. $5000/8000 Provenance: Thomas H. Allen & Co. Cotton House, Memphis, TN; by descent in the Allen family; Private Collection.

Note: The 1884‑85 World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, which was located on the land that is now Audubon Park and the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, included a large Art building with four galleries of works from local, national, and international artists. Walker did not exhibit in the gallery, but rather he created small souvenir paintings that he sold to the tourists visiting the Exposition. These miniature scenes of cabins, cotton pickers and levee views were painted in oil – mostly upon pieces of academy board about 6 inches x 12 inches or small brass plates 10‑12 inches in diameter. The current lot, although on clay, is a similar size and shape to the brass plates used for the souvenir paintings. It is certainly possible that this remarkable work on clay dates from the same time period when the artist was experimenting with round compositions.

231. Florida School, late 19th c., “St. John’s River, Florida”, 1892, oil on canvas, pencil‑titled and inscribed “Painted on Nov. 24, 1892 by O.G.(?)

This iconic cotton scene was long in the collection of the Thomas H. Allen & Co. Cotton House of Memphis, Tennessee. One of the oldest cotton firms in the South, Thomas Hampton Allen, Sr. formed the company in 1837. The family long had ties to the New Orleans area; his brother Richard Henry Allen, also a cotton broker, owned Rienzi Plantation in Lafourche Parish from 1861 until his death in 1894.

Gaines Ruger Donoho (American/Mississippi, 1857‑1916), “Autumnal Landscape”, oil on canvas laid on masonite, signed lower left, 30 in. x 36 in., framed. $6000/9000 Note: The painting offered here shows Donoho’s love of nature and the influence of the Barbizon school and Impressionism in his paintings. An old stone wall creates an interesting diagonal composition, surrounded by fallen autumn leaves and brightened by moss on the rocks. Gnarled trees stand in the background like sentinels. Donoho’s work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Mississippi Museum of Art, the High Museum of Art, and the New Orleans Museum of Art among many others. His oil paintings rarely are seen on the market.

Eakins, who painted a portrait of Barnitz when he was just nineteen, complimented his young student in a letter from 1884, “[y]ou draw and paint very well and extremely well for your age. I know no one who has a better start.”

248. Ben Earl Looney (American/Louisiana, 1904‑1981), “Egrets in the Bayou”, oil on masonite, signed lower left, 36 in. x 48 in., framed. $3000/5000 Note: An artist and author, Ben Earl Looney attended Louisiana State University, Centenary College, and the Corcoran College of Art and Design. Creating works of art, writing stories and poems, and teaching art at LSU and the Ringling School of Art were his primary occupations, although he also traveled to teach throughout the United States. His Cajun scenes, which include sinuous lines and expressionistic colors, were often created during his later years living in Lafayette, Louisiana. This monumental depiction of Louisiana egrets in their natural habitat is among Looney’s finest works.

250. William S. Robinson (American/Mississippi, 1861‑1945), “Buildings, Old Lyme, CT”, 1934, oil on board, signed lower left, monogrammed, dated and inscribed en verso, 10 in. x 12 in., framed. $1000/1500

249. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Bayou Morning #2”, 1969, oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed, dated, titled and “George Rodrigue Studio & Gallery, Lafayette, LA” stamps and business card en verso, 12 in. x 18 in., original frame with brass artist and title plaque. $12000/18000 Note: In March 1967, George Rodrigue returned to his hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, where he had been studying traditional painting techniques, abstract expressionism, pop art and hard edge painting. On the long drive from California, Rodrigue absorbed the landscape of Route 66 and was struck by the differences he encountered upon crossing from Texas into Louisiana: the flat land, miles of waterways, massive oaks blocking out the sky and light filtering through the tree branches. Determined to discover his own way of capturing Louisiana on canvas, Rodrigue first spent several months carefully observing the well-known landscapes by Richard Clague, William Buck, Andres Molinary and others in the Louisiana State Museum and New Orleans Museum of Art. Combining his recent studies in school with his reflections on the European-style landscapes of the 19th century artists, Rodrigue spent 1968 to 1971 crafting his unique vision of Louisiana. The very early works included elements such as small figures or cabins, as seen in the work offered here. However, Rodrigue quickly dropped these elements in favor of simply the oak tree, a graphic element that became a hallmark for the artist. The painting offered here has a jewel-like quality and rich surface that depicts a landscape obviously both familiar and beloved by the artist. The canvas is significant window into the development of the twenty-five year old Rodrigue into an artist that would come to define Louisiana landscape painting in late 20th century.

254. Louis Oscar Griffith (American, 1875‑1956, act. New Orleans, 1916‑1917), “Afternoon Fantasy”, oil on canvas, unsigned, titled upper right tacking edge, 30 in. x 34 in., framed, artist plaque with alternate title of “The Cool Marsh”; accompanied by a copy of a letter of authenticity signed by Rick Griffith, grandson of the artist. $10000/15000 Provenance: Estate of the artist.

Note: Throughout his career as an artist, Louis Oscar Griffith developed a love of plein-air painting, particularly sweeping and detailed landscapes. The beautiful scenery of Brown County, Indiana, where he lived most of his adult life, provided the ideal setting for Griffith to perfect his skills. However, in addition to traveling to New Orleans in the winter of 1916-17 during which he produced many beautiful depictions of the city, Griffith also traveled and painted throughout Texas, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Washington, D.C., and Maine, as well as abroad in Mexico, France, and Spain. Studying the various locales would surely have enhanced his understanding of atmospheric effects and led to this invented scene titled “Afternoon Fantasy.” In this painting, Griffith’s traditional brushwork and careful use of composition, so often used in painting Brown County landscapes, are combined with a bright, whimsical palette, evoking sensations of a lush, tropical paradise.

255. Edward Henry Potthast (American, 1857‑1927), “Full Sail at Cape Ann”, oil on canvas, signed “E. Potthast” lower right, 20 in. x 24 in., period frame. $25000/35000 Note: To be included in Mary Ran’s forthcoming Edward Henry Potthast catalogue raisonné.

Note: Edward Potthast studied at the McMicken School in Cincinnati, Royal Academy Munich and Academié Julian Paris before settling in New York. His early paintings are highly influenced by the Munich School, focusing on draftsmanship, long, unbroken brushstrokes and a dark tonal palette. His later works mark a dramatic shift to Impressionism with short, rapid brushstrokes and a bright palette as evidenced in this painting. “Full Sail at Cape Ann” also represents his main subject of this time, leisure activity centering on the New England beaches where he summered for most of his life.

256. Paul Ninas (American/New Orleans, 1903‑1964), “Dominica”, oil on canvas, unsigned, 30 1/4 in. x 40 in., framed. $7000/10000 Provenance: Estate of the artist, Le Mieux Gallery, New Orleans, LA. Note: After years traveling throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Northern Africa, before settling in New Orleans in 1932, Paul Ninas owned a plantation on the island of Dominica, part of the Lesser Antilles and located approximately 400 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. Having been greatly influenced by the works of Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse, who also painted in tropical locales, Ninas found the landscape, the people, and the way of life of Dominica inspirational. Using a painting style reminiscent of Gauguin, yet clearly influenced by the Cubist movement, Ninas combines both static and fluid elements into his composition. This painting technique works well with a palette consisting of mostly monochromatic greens and browns, yet incorporating pops of red, which draw the eye around the scene of the daily life of the people of Dominica.

257. Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer (American/New Orleans, 1912‑1997), “Terminus No. 1”, c. 1966, oil on canvas, signed lower right, label with title en verso, 69 in. x 69 in., original frame. $20000/30000 Provenance: Henri Gallery, Washington, D.C., 1966; Barbara Walker Gordon Collection.

Note: In 1966-67, Ida Kohlmeyer created a series of large abstract paintings featuring broad expanses of white ground, narrow vertical stripes (often positioned right at the edge of the canvas), and a few geometric forms to carefully ground the composition. The painting offered here, “Terminus No. 1,” is a fine example of her work from this period. A large orb with several vertical rectangular forms dominates the composition and is connected by a narrow green line to the cluster of complementary forms that Kohlmeyer has placed right at the edge of the canvas. This canvas represents a very successful and complex body of work that she created for only a brief period.

258. Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer (American/New Orleans, 1912‑1997), “Banquet”, 1957, oil on canvas, unsigned, “Ida Kohlmeyer: Thirty Years, The Mint Museum of Art, cat. no. 3” and “Orleans Gallery, Royal St., NOLA” labels with artist, title and date en verso, 36 1/2 in. x 57 1/4 in., period frame. $15000/25000 Provenance: Acquired from the artist; thence by descent.

Exh.: “Ida Kohlmeyer: Thirty Years”, The Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC, 1983, and illustrated in the accompanying catalogue, no. 3, p. 53.

Note: Ida Kohlmeyer spent the summer of 1956 at Hans Hofmann’s summer art school in Provincetown, MA. At the time, Hofmann was considered the best modernist art teacher in the country. He had a profound and dramatic effect on Kohlmeyer’s work, as evident in the canvas offered here. Painted in 1957, the year after she had studied with the modern master, she uses vivid, contrasting colors and rectangular stacking elements to form the composition, all techniques gleaned directly from Hoffman. This painting is a true masterpiece of Kohlmeyer’s earliest Abstract Expressionist work.

261. George Rodrigue (American/ Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Flowers over Birmingham”, 2000, acrylic on linen, signed lower left, label with title en verso, 36 in. x 48 in., original frame. $40000/60000 Provenance: Rodrigue Studio, New Orleans, 2001.

262. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “I Got a Hot Tree for You”, 1997, oil and acrylic on canvas, signed lower right, 14 in. x 18 in., framed. $20000/30000 Provenance: Rodrigue Studio, New Orleans.

Note: The late 1990s were an exciting period in George Rodrigue’s life, as his Blue Dog series reached new heights with a Neiman Marcus commission in 1996 and his books saw tremendous publishing success with Stewart, Tabori & Chang. Rodrigue was able to paint with a relaxation and sense of enjoyment that had lessened somewhat during his rapid rise to fame in the mid1990s. The artist’s playfulness reveals itself both through his colorful, hard edge compositions and whimsical, often laugh-outloud, titles. In the work offered here, Rodrigue’s most iconic symbols, the Blue Dog and the oak tree, combine in a vibrant union of shape and expressiveness. The hard edges of the tree and Blue Dog contrast with the visible brushstrokes of the landscape, revealing the hand of the artist and lending a sense of movement to the painting. In many canvases of this period, Rodrigue experimented with new and unusual directions for the Blue Dog series, but the most lasting and timeless of his works surely remains canvases such as “I Got a Hot Tree for You”, where the classic Rodrigue elements are so perfectly united.

263. John “Crash” Matos (American, b. 1961), “Crash”, 1981, acrylic on canvas, signed and dated en verso, sealing wax stamp with 2 sabers within a shield en verso, 42 in. x 59 3/4 in., unframed. $6000/8000 Provenance: Property of the New Orleans Museum of Art, Sold to Benefit the Acquisitions Fund.

Note: Coming of age in the Bronx in the 1960s and 1970s, John “Crash” Matos first picked up a can of spray paint at the age of 13 to cut his teeth as a graffiti artist by “bombing” the subway trains in the New York City rail yards.

His bold, blocky signature—CRASH—greeted subway riders for almost two decades in the 1970s and 1980s, New York’s economically dire, artistically fertile days. By the 1980s, with the embrace of his work by galleries and at the urging of his friend and contemporary, Keith Haring, Crash was translating his explosive outdoor murals to the canvas’s more contained plane. In 1980, Crash curated the now iconic exhibition: “Graffiti Art Success for America” at Fashion MODA, launching the graffiti movement that has remained very active through today. Known for his three-dimensional representation of lettering, the painting offered here is an iconic example of Crash’s graffiti art. Crash has been commissioned for many public mural projects, has partnered with numerous companies for projects, and has work in many permanent museum collections.

270. Fletcher Benton (American/California, b. 1931), “Folded Square Alphabet O”, 1979, steel, signed, dated, and titled lower center of reverse, h. 38 in., w. 33 1/2 in., d. 35 in. $2000/3000 Provenance: Property of the New Orleans Museum of Art, Sold to Benefit the Acquisitions Fund.

Note: Fletcher Benton began his artistic career as a painter. He was very interested in incorporating motorized movement into his two dimensional works, so it serves as no surprise that he eventually felt compelled to explore the realm of sculpture. Benton first started creating forms by folding paper. The three dimensional designs that resulted from this practice inspired him to create his “Folded Square Alphabet” series in the 1970s, as seen in this lot. While the sculpture offered here is stationary, its dynamic dimensionality cannot be denied. The form of the piece appears to change at every angle, revealing Benton’s precise control over planes and space and alluding to his earlier inclination towards kinetic art. In 1993, while installing a monumental piece in the city of Cologne, Germany, the artist saw an exhibition on Malevich and came across a model of Tatlin’s Monument to the Third International. As Peter Selz writes in his profile of the artist, “[Benton] became convinced of something he had only assumed before: he was a disciple of Constructivism.”

Note: Theodore Tihansky received his formal art training at the Art Students League in New York City, Paier College of Art, and Lyme Academy of Fine Art in Connecticut. In 1991, Mr. Tihanshky was awarded the John Stobart Landscape Fellowship with the concurrent opportunity to show at the Lyme Academy Fine Art Gallery. In November 1995, he opened the Theodore Tihansky Fine Art and Performance Gallery on Franklin Street in Newport, Rhode Island at which he received wide recognition for his “Collaboration of the Arts” production.

Returning to Maine, Tihansky spent his first winter as a stern man on a lobster boat and his free time painting the harsh and splendid scenes of the island. In his words, “The paintings are the end products; what is important to me is the moment, the experience that I have because of my painting. The people I meet and the things I do are the reason.”

Hughes, Jackson, MS. Ill.: Clark, Ronald W. Balmoral: Queen Victoria’s Highland Home.

London: Thames and Hudson, 1981, dust jacket cover.

Note: Alfred de Breanski, Sr. began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in London in 1869, and by the 1870s, he had embraced landscape painting as his preferred subject matter. He traveled often to the isolated regions of Wales and Scotland in search of wilderness landscapes, creating a unique blend of romanticism and realism. In the painting offered here, the artist presents a panoramic view of Balmoral Castle, and he also concentrates on the texture of the grass and trees, as well as a flickering light on the water and clouds. The meteorological accuracy of the sky alone would suggest the influence of John Constable, and certainly the work of both Constable and J. M.W. Turner would have been inspiring for any promising landscape painter in Britain.

Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland is located on the large Balmoral Estate, a working property surrounded by thick forest, the Cairngorm mountains and the River Dee, all depicted here by De Breanski. Even now, and to a far greater extent in the nineteenth century, the country is one where wildlife is abundant, supporting favored royal activities such as deer-hunting and grouse-shooting. De Breanski depicts deer and figures in the valley beside the river, which reflects the tower of the castle, as an enduring symbol of Highland life.

Balmoral has stood as a symbol of Royal relaxation and the focus of the Royal family’s long-standing enthusiasm for the Highlands since its acquisition by the Crown in 1852. Shortly after the estate was purchased, the existing house was found to be too small and the current Balmoral Castle, depicted here in 1897, was commissioned from architect William Smith of Aberdeen. Balmoral was beloved by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and has remained a favorite residence for Queen Elizabeth and her family during the summer holiday period from August to September.

651. Anonymous/New Orleans, 21st c., “#POKEMONUMENT (Pikachu)”, 2016, “bronzed” and cemented fiberglass over foam with epoxy resin hard coating, inscribed “#POKEMONUMENT” on cement covered plywood base, h. 80 in., w. 64 in., d. 64 in.

Estimate available upon request.

Provenance: Originally installed in the Terpsichore Fountain on Terpsichore Street, Coliseum Square Park, Lower Garden District, New Orleans, LA, July 31, 2016; sold to benefit the Lower Garden District Parks and Fountains Fund, New Orleans, LA. “Public sculpture, whether sanctioned or not, has the potential to transform and energize community spaces.” –Artist Statement Sometime under the cover of night between Saturday, July 30th and Sunday, July 31st, the “#POKÉMONUMENT” was erected on Terpsichore Street near Prytania Street. Characterized as Guerrilla or Stealth Art, this mysterious work appeared shortly after the hugely successful release of the Pokémon GO™ App, igniting a firestorm of interest amongst players, locals, and tourists who were more than excited to make the pilgrimage to the curious new landmark.

This kind of pop-up Guerrilla Art is often inextricably tied to its surroundings, deriving meaning from the interplay between artwork and environment. In this case, the anonymous

artists of the #Pokémonument are seeing that concept one-step further by trying to improve the neglected park in which it was installed. “When we snuck a Pikachu statue into the middle of a dry fountain on Terpsichore Street, we could not have imagined that it would attract so much attention. That the momentum would carry its image around the world. Overwhelmed and touched doesn’t begin to describe what the response has meant to us… We would like to use that positive momentum to bring about a larger, more permanent change for our community.”

In the lot offered here, the figure Pikachu stands tall and defiant, arms crossed and nose pointed to the sky, its stance perhaps a cheeky acknowledgment to the fuss surrounding its cryptic origins. As Nickolaus Hines of Inverse points out, “Pikachu might not be the first choice for New Orleans officials when it comes to subjects for statues, but the vigilante statue uprising could prove to be a cheap way for the city to beautify forgotten areas. Then, in the foreseeable future after New Orleans has sunk into the Gulf of Mexico and been forgotten, archeologists will excavate the Pikachu statue and understand what the summer of 2016 was really all about.” That of-the-moment sentiment makes up a large part of the enduring appeal of this pop-up monument whose brief but celebrated time in the public eye draws a nice parallel to the ephemeral seasons of joy and beauty that define the Crescent City.

Note: Born and raised in New Orleans, Alan Flattmann is known for his classic New Orleans scenes.

Flattmann’s works from this series explore both the somber initial march to the cemetery, as well as the vibrant celebratory second line that follows the funeral and honors the deceased with a wild celebration of his/her life.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale.

1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.”

B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within 25 calendar days from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale.

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 of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable.

E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate.

F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief.

2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder.

At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot.

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same.

128

4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item.

5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction.

6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the Conditions of Sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate. If Neal Auction Company resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder.
