New Orleans, known for its artists, eccentrics and eclectic characters, lost some of its color recently, when one of our iconic leading ladies, Mickey Easterling, passed away. In a testament to her diva-may-care attitude, Mickey’s over-the-top funeral was true to the full and vibrant life she led. It was, in fact, a sensational celebration that no writer could have ever imagined.

Mickey, a Louisiana native, was a collector of whatever object of beauty caught her eye. From fine art to antiques to couture clothing, her cherished collections became an extension of her inimitable, incomparable personality.

Therefore, I am proud that New Orleans Auction Galleries will be auctioning many of her unique items, including an unusual glass-top table with a bronze base depicting Mickey wearing one of her trademark hats and smoking a cigarette (Lot 807).

For me, what I will remember about Mickey is that the woman had courage. She didn’t copy, she didn’t blend in and she didn’t compromise. And for those traits, among many others, New Orleans will miss Mickey Easterling.

Another local treasure, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, is partnering with New Orleans Auction on an initiative called Collaborate+Consign+Contribute. Through the program, Southern art supporters can consign art, sculpture, furniture, silver and more to auction for the benefit of the museum. We love the Ogden because it enriches New Orleans culture. It is important for us to support institutions such as the Ogden, because they provide future generations the opportunity to appreciate art. Join us in donating to the Ogden and be a part of a Southern art legacy!

We, at New Orleans Auction, value tradition, and for the second year, we are honored to help raise funds for WLAE-TV and their arts education programming by auctioning works by 15 local artists (Lots 1035-1050), organized by artist and entrepreneur Steve Martin.

The auction last year was a tremendous success and we invite you to join us in supporting WLAE and its excellent programming while expanding your personal art collection! We are pleased to once again donate to WLAE.

We are honored to offer some great estates in this auction, including the estates of Frank D. Montague, Jr. and Mary Dixon Montague of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The Montague collection is extraordinary and includes a lovely Glenna Goodacre garden sculpture of a woman bathing (Lot 769). We will also be offering art from the family collection of Wook-Kyung Choi, a Korean artist active during the 1960s and 1970s known for her innovative use of color and abstraction. Her work is featured in numerous institutions and private collections worldwide, and includes paintings on canvas, wood and paper and sketches in charcoal and graphite. The estate of Lillian Pulitzer Smith includes an impressive collection of 18th and 19th century Chinese export porcelain, which was previously on loan to the New Orleans Museum of Art, in addition to art, furniture and silver. Lillian was a remarkable woman who was known for her sense of humor and kindness among many other things. It is also our pleasure to offer a fine collection of early furniture and accessories dating back to the 17th century from the estates of Thorkil Hoffman Olsen and Mogens Holmer Strigel by descent.

If you are not already an admirer of Hunt Slonem’s art, his “Siddah and Butterf lies II,” a monumental oil on canvas painting presented in an exceptional antique giltwood and gesso oval frame (Lot 782) is sure to make you one. The first time I saw it I was mesmerized.

If you appreciate contemporary art, you need to see this unique piece. If only I had the room…

We are also pleased to offer works by Southern regional artists including Helen Maria Turner, Clarence Millet, Andres Molinary, Ellsworth Woodward, Ida Kohlmeyer and Marie Atkinson Hull, in addition to modern masters such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Thomas Downing. And, of course, we are offering works by the iconic George Rodrigue from private collections across the country, including Sir Nick Faldo of Winter Park, Florida and John Bradshaw, Sr. of Houston, Texas. Our impressive offering of bronzes includes pieces by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth, Mathurin Moreau, Wilhelm Julius Frick, Laurent-Honore Marqueste and Libero Andreotti.

We open for exhibition on Saturday, May 3, and will have our Evening Preview Reception on Thursday, May 15, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The auction will be held on May 17 and 18, starting at 10 a.m. each day. I would like to personally invite each of you to come by and visit our gallery—you’ll be happy you did!

You know by now you can count on New Orleans Auction for not only an amazing auction, but, of course, good food, drink and a comfortable chair waiting just for you!

See you soon,

Susan D. Krohn CEO, New Orleans Auction Galleries

Mickey Easterling was and will always be known as one of the most colorful and iconic figures in New Orleans, an exceptional feat in a city known for its innate flamboyance and eclectic cast of characters. Hailed by the local media as the “Queen of Grand Gesture,” her contributions to New Orleans cannot be overstated. She left a significant and lasting influence on the civic, political, cultural and social spheres of the city.

Her parties were as outrageous as her trademark hats. She frequently hosted fundraisers in her Lakefront mansion, raising funds for politicians and charities like the March of Dimes, the New Orleans Easter Seals Society and Children’s Hospital New Orleans. Mickey was also a committed patron of the arts, supporting local institutions like the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts, New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans Opera, the Saenger Theater and the theatre department at Loyola University.

In addition to the arts, Easterling had a passion for travel. She traveled extensively throughout Europe and would spend time each summer in Tangier, Morocco. Her love of travel and the arts influenced her impressive collection, which includes fine furniture, art, antiques and couture.

Friends, family and acquaintances remember Mickey for her “infectious laugh,” sense of style, generosity and sharp wit among many other things. Kenneth Holditch, co-author of Galatoire’s: Biography of a Bistro, famously recalled that while dining at Galatoire’s one day after the restaurant’s controversial switch from hand-shaved ice to machine-made ice, “Mickey had a block of ice from an icehouse delivered to her table with icepicks, all in a huge tub.” In an article published in The Advocate, he recalled her “distinctive voice […] cured by all those years of smoking cigarettes and drinking champagne.”

Everything she did was larger than life. Her recent memorial service, held at the Saenger Theater, featured her seated on a bench complete with a fabulous hat and electric pink boa, cigarette in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer items from the lifetime collection of Mickey Easterling.

Lillian Pulitzer Smith was born in New York in 1921. After the tragic and untimely death of her parents, she was relocated to New Orleans where she was ultimately placed in the care of the Jewish Children’s Home. During her time at the Home, Lillian was assigned to a mentor, or “Big Sister,” named Mrs. Lichtenstein, who played a vital role in providing resources and assistance to her during her childhood. It was from this woman that Lillian began to develop her natural affinity for elegance, beauty and perfumes, ultimately becoming known as an arbiter of style and taste in her later years.

Lillian attended the Isidore Newman School, which had recently been established in 1903 through a generous gift of local businessman and philanthropist, Isidore Newman, to educate orphans living in the Jewish Children’s Home. After graduating from Newman, she attended a secretarial school where she excelled as a typist.

Shortly after secretarial school, Lillian married Emanuel Simon Pulitzer in 1940. Coincidentally, Emanuel had spent time in the Jewish Children’s Home years before Lillian was placed there. Their time at the Home never overlapped, but they shared that common foundation.

Emanuel and his brother, Samuel, founded the Pulitzer Brothers Necktie Company in 1925 (renamed Wembley Industries and later WEMCO). By 1928, their success allowed them to expand their operation and open a manufacturing facility on Poeyfarre Street in New Orleans, where the Cotton Mill Lofts are now located.

With the charismatic Lillian at his side, Emanuel’s company grew to become the largest tie manufacturer in the world, producing ties for internationally recognized brands, such as Countess Mara and Oscar de la Renta. The Pulitzer brothers are often credited with inventing the wrinkle-free tie. After a trip to Europe, Emanuel returned with a polyester suit. When the brothers were back in their offices in New Orleans, Sam cut a sample from the suit jacket and created a tie that—no matter what—would not wrinkle. The appropriation of wrinkle-free material in men’s neckties was an instant hit, catapulting the Pulitzers to even greater success.

Lillian launched her own successful business venture with several of her friends, opening “The Uptowner,” a women’s clothing boutique. She took regular buying trips to New York to carefully select the best clothing and accessories for the local market. In addition to her trips to New York, she also traveled to Europe with local antiques dealer and shop owner, Nina Sloss, to purchase antiques.

Locally, she was a regular at many of the best antique shops and art galleries in the French Quarter.

Known for her compassion, sense of humor and irresistible charm, she valued her time with friends and family and constantly made new friends through her shop, travels and numerous social engagements around town. She was an outstanding cook and had a sophisticated eye for beautiful things, amassing a wonderful collection of antique furniture, silver, jewelry, glass and art throughout her life. Her collection also includes 18th and 19th century Chinese export porcelain that was previously on loan to the New Orleans Museum of Art. Lillian passed away in July 2013 at the age of 92. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer items from the estate of Lillian Pulitzer Smith.

Frank D. Montague, Jr. and Mary Dixon Montague were known in the Hattiesburg community and in New Orleans for their civic engagement, love of the arts and travel, wide circle of friends, genuine kindness, self lessness and generosity. Beloved by friends and family, Frank and Mary enthusiastically and tirelessly pursued their passions, leaving indelible marks on everything they did. Mary and Frank were married for over 64 years.

Mary Dixon Montague was born November 17, 1928, in Monroe, Louisiana to Harold Hart Dixon and Margaret Theus Atkins Dixon. She was an exuberant traveler, an avid reader, and a gracious and accomplished amateur chef and hostess whose beauty and refined manner indulged a sharp wit and mischievous spirit. Mary attended Ward Belmont College, Sophie Newcomb College, the University of Mississippi, the University of Southern Mississippi and the New York School of Interior Design, receiving degrees in American and European History, Art History and Political Science. As an art dealer and associate with the International Fine Arts Association in New Orleans, she was involved in the arts community and enjoyed assisting friends and clients by curating their personal collections. Mary also served on the Advisory Board of the New Orleans Museum of Art and was a founding member of the Hattiesburg Arts Council.

Frank was born August 26, 1925, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi to Ida Lois Polk Montague and Frank D. Montague, Sr. He graduated with honors from Hattiesburg High School and went on to obtain law and civil engineering degrees from the University of Mississippi. He was highly involved in the Ole Miss community, serving as president of the student body, and was included into the University of Mississippi Student Hall of Fame.

While working as a field engineer for Phillips Petroleum in Texas, he contracted polio, just months before the Salk vaccine was available. Due to the immobilizing effects of his illness, Frank was forced to walk with crutches for the rest of his life. He never let his disability hold him back—a testament to his positive attitude, strong will and perseverance.

Frank was a partner at Montague, Pittman & Varnado in Hattiesburg and received countless appointments and awards for his professional achievements. He served as President of the Mississippi Bar Foundation, the Mississippi Defense Lawyers Association, and was Chairman of the Mississippi Institute for Continuing Legal Education. He served two terms on the ABA Standing Committee on Professional Discipline and was Chairman of the United States Supreme Court Disciplinary Rules Revision Committee. He served as a specially appointed Mississippi Supreme Court Justice, was a Director of the American Judicature Society and is a Life Fellow of the American Bar Foundation. He was also the city judge of Hattiesburg from 1956-60 and the city attorney from 1965-74. He authored numerous legal publications and taught Journalism Law for a period at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Beyond his inf luential leadership roles in the legal world, Frank also served as the president of the Hattiesburg Kiwanis Club, was a trustee for several local institutions and was involved with the March of Dimes, Westminster Presbyterian Church and the American Red Cross.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer items from the estates of Mary Dixon Montague and Frank D. Montague, Jr. Frank and Mary’s deep appreciation for arts and culture is evident in their wonderful collection.

Borrowing a palette derived from the vibrant colors of Korean folk art and forms based on those found in nature, Wook-Kyung Choi developed a candid and lyrical visual language that would have a profound impact on contemporary art in Asia and the United States. Japanese occupation rapidly followed by war between the Communist north and the American-occupied south deeply affected the Korean national consciousness in the twentieth century, driving an unprecedented number of artists, writers and intellectuals to travel and gain knowledge abroad.

After studying under the well-known contemporary artists Kim Ki-Chang (1914-2001) and Park Re-Hyun (1920-1976), Choi graduated from the College of Fine Arts at Seoul National University. Each child in Choi’s family received some of his or her education in the United States, and in 1963, she enrolled at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. A versatile artist, Choi’s work spans a range of media from carved seals and metal sculpture to paintings on canvas, wood, and paper to sketches in charcoal and graphite.

The United States afforded Choi the freedom to explore her identity, one that often defied societal expectations placed on women in Korea at that time. It also propelled her development as an artist to new heights. In the 1960s, Choi moved away from creating figurative works and began to experiment with such elements of abstract expressionism as bold and vibrant colors and dynamic brushwork. Some of the work she produced at this time also confronts social issues, particularly war, segregation, and the rights of women. In the 1970s, Choi taught at the University of Wisconsin and at the Atlanta College of Art. In Atlanta, she became increasingly interested in form and produced a significant body of monochromatic paintings. She also looked to nature for inspiration, incorporating translucent washes of color and shapes derived from birds, f lowers, and fish. In 1976, she was accepted into the prestigious Roswell Artist in Residence Program at the Roswell Museum of Art. The works that she created in New Mexico incorporated colors and lines inspired by the natural landscape. While working in Roswell, Choi obtained American citizenship.

In 1979, Choi returned to Korea and began teaching at Yeongnam University. She continued to be inspired by natural beauty, particularly from her travels to Kyeongsang province. Her palette softened and her forms became more organic and rhythmic. In 1981, she began teaching and working at the Duksung Women’s University where she remained until her untimely death in 1985. While there, Choi strived to help many young Korean women find a means of expressing themselves freely and confidently. Driven to create, Choi saw art as a means of communication, a way of articulating feeling and truth across culture, gender, and politics. Wook-Young Choi left an indelible mark on a generation of artists on an international scale and her legacy will endure.

Choi’s work has been exhibited internationally at such venues as the Paris and Sao Paulo Biennales, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Cornell University Art Museum. Examples of her art can also be found in the permanent collections of The National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, The University of Missouri, The Colby Museum, the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art, and the Ho-Am Art Museum.

Thorkil Hoffman Olsen (1884-1966) was a successful businessman who specialized in the importation and exportation of exceptional quality hardwoods. A native of Denmark, he divided his residence between that country in summer and New Orleans in winter. Olsen was named an honorary Consul-General by King Christian X of Denmark, his friend and frequent competitor in yachting races. An avid collector of art and fine furniture, Olsen’s collection included numerous customized carved wood pieces. At his death, this collection passed in trust to his daughter Kristen Hoffman Olsen Strigel, and at her death to her husband Mogens Holmer Strigel. Mogens Strigel later married Patricia O’Brien, the daughter of New Orleans artist Nell Pomeroy O’Brien, and the couple moved to New Orleans. This collection also includes items from the estate of Patricia O’Brien.

60 Rare George II Three-Piece Sterling Silver Tea Caddy Set, hallmarked London, 1741‑1742, by Christian Hillan, including a pair of inverted pear-shaped tea canisters, h. 5‑3/4”, dia. 3‑1/2”, and a bulbous oval covered sugar box en suite, h. 5”, l. 4‑1/2”, d. 3‑1/2”, all decorated with a chased floral rococo band centering a heart-shaped cartouche and above a gadrooned calyx, the fitted lids with applied shell finial, engraved on the cartouches with an armorial (Cawsse? or Bonigham? quartering Dolman) opposing a crest of a demi-lion rampant, engraved on the underside “Mae C. Plant / 1917”, 20.70 total t. oz. Provenance: Mae Caldwell Rovensky (1878‑1956). [6000/9000] Illustrated Very little is known about the silversmith Christian Hillan: there is no record of his birth, freedom or death. His first mark was entered in 1736, and he is known to have vacated his shop in 1742, when it was taken over by William Cripps. All of Hillan’s silver seems to be hallmarked within this scant six years. Some suppose a Northern European origin for him, and this seems likely given the Scandinavian flavor of his distinctive chase work. Only the matrilineal side (i.e. second and third quarters) of the arms here can be identified with some confidence, being those of Dolman of Shaw House, Berkshire, but the inscribed owner’s name is another matter entirely. Mae “Masie” Caldwell was born in March, 1878 in Wethersfield, Connecticut, and by 1910 had married Seldon B. Manwaring (1874‑1921), owner of the Oswagatchie Hotel in Waterford. There, she worked as a waitress and bartender, in which capacity her Lillian Russell-esque beauty did not escape the attention of the newly-widowed railroad and steamship magnate Morton Freeman Plant (1852‑1918). Mae divorced her husband (who was reputedly paid $8 million) and married Plant, thirty years her senior, on June 16, 1914. The couple lived at Plant’s Manhattan “Millionaire’s Row” home at 5th Avenue and

52nd Street, which Plant had built on a lot purchased in 1905 from William K. Vanderbilt. Masie acclimated quite well to her new life, amassing an impressive collection of art, antiques and jewelry. By the advent of World War I, the neighborhood was changing, as hotels and shops opened and wealthy residents moved northward. Plant followed suit, beginning construction on a new mansion at 5th Avenue and 86th Street. Famously, he sold the 52nd street home to Pierre Cartier for the sum of $100 and - for Masie - a double strand of natural oriental pearls priced at $1.5 million, equivalent to about $16 million today. (The sale took place in 1917 - the same year Masie acquired the present lot.) Plant died the following year, leaving his wife an estate of around $32 million. In 1919 she married William Hayward (1877‑1944), former commander of the “Harlem Hellfighters” during World War I and then-current District Attorney for southern New York, and in 1928 the couple purchased the Newport, Rhode Island mansion Clarendon Court. Hayward died in 1944 and Masie married a fourth time, to the president of the American Car and Foundry Company, John E. Rovensky (1880‑1970). She died on July 22, 1956, and the Parke-Bernet sale of her estate the following year was a major event, covered by Time, Life and the New York Times. A copy of the sale catalogue accompanies this lot, which is listed in Part Two, January 26, 1957, lot 540: “George II Repousse Silver Covered Sugar Bowl and Pair Teapoys”. The sale totaled $2.38 million, although her famous pearls - drastically de-valued by the proliferation of cultured pearls - brought a mere $150,000. Her Manhattan mansion was replaced by a large co-op complex in 1960, and Clarendon Court (where the musical High Society was filmed) was purchased after John Rovensky’s death in 1970 by another famous society couple: Claus and Sunny von Bulow. The building at 5th Avenue and 52nd street remains, to the present day, Maison Cartier.

Hughes continued to work for another seven years in Baltimore until his death on October 26, 1791.

The maker of this handsome salver is an elusive mystery.

Grimwade notes a pair of ewers with this maker’s mark and which - like this salver - are also incompletely marked.

He suggests a provincial origin, but also seems to accept what other sources note: that the quality of this maker’s work is on a par with the most competent of the London makers. The armorial here only adds to the mystery; while exceptionally well-engraved and seemingly showing a broad knowledge of blazonry, it appears to be entirely spurious.

A native of the Tuscan town of Pescia, Andreotti was a self-taught artist. Apprenticed at a young age to a local blacksmith, he learned the essentials of metalwork which were to prove crucial to his later artistic pursuits. His innate talent and ability caught the attention of several local artisans and businessmen, and Andreotti was offered a position as an illustrator. Eventually tiring of this, Andreotti moved to Milan where he first began sculpting. In 1907 he was honored by inclusion in the VIIInternational Art Exhibition/Biennale di Venezia. Andreotti spent some time in Paris before moving to Florence, where he was to spend the remainder of his days, an active and beloved member of the city’s thriving artistic community.

His sensuous yet earthy figural sculptures received much acclaim and attention, often drawing comparisons to the great French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Many of his works were inspired by classical myths and frequently incorporated antique motifs and symbols. The work presented here is a modern interpretation of the Greek story of Laocoon, the Trojan priest of Poseidon, who met his painful demise by a slither of snakes. Andreotti cleverly raises philosophical, emotional and psychological concerns here by suggesting that the deadly snake is not an outside force, but rather an extension of Laocoon himself.

Plazzotta was born in Italy and studied at the Accademia di Brera in Milan under Giacomo Manzu (1908‑1991). After World War II, he received a commission to commemorate the successful collaboration with British Special Forces and Plazzotta traveled to London to formally present the sculpture. Enamored by the city, he soon made it his permanent home, maintaining a studio in Italy. Initially a portrait sculptor, Plazzotta found that milieu too limiting and stifling artistically. Fascinated by the idea of movement, he began to concentrate on dance, horses and the human figure. His powerful depictions of women are some of the most accomplished and admired of his bronzes. Plazzotta completed numerous public commissions in London, England including works in Covent Garden, Belgrave Square, and the College Garden at Westminster Abbey.

Provenance: William Edward Clarke (1815‑1899) to Richard Henry Clarke (1843‑1906).

The design for this iconic table is attributed to the New York architect Alexander Jackson Davis (1803‑1892) who is noted for designing the famous country villa "Kenwood" located outside of Albany, New York and built in1842 for industrialist Joel Rathbone. An illustration of the drawing room at Kenwood is featured in Andrew Jackson Downing's book "The Architecture of Country Houses" and shows an example of this Gothic table as its centerpiece. Born in Chesterfield County, Virginia, William Edward Clarke later studied law at William & Mary University in Williamsburg, Virginia. In the late 1830’s he settled in Dayton, Alabama in Marengo County and attained a high rank in his profession practicing law. From 1861‑1865 he was a member of the State Senate, and later moved to Demopolis, Alabama. It was believed that he ordered this table in the mid-1840s. Richard Henry Clarke was the next generation and son of William E. Clarke, born in 1843 in Dayton, Alabama and graduated from the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa in 1861. He served in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War as a lieutenant in the First Battalion of Alabama Artillery. After the War he practiced law in Dayton, Alabama and later moved to Demopolis, Alabama. He became State Solicitor for Marengo County from 1872‑1876 and later resumed the practice of law in Mobile, Alabama.

He was elected to congress from 1889‑1897, was a candidate for Governor in 1896, and served as a member of the State House of Representatives from 1900‑1901.

This lot is accompanied by the original William E. Clarke 1899 memorial/biography booklet, prepared by Gesner Williams, George W. Taylor et al., Memorial Committee.

Other examples of this table are in the collections of the High Museum, Atlanta, Georgia (The Virginia Carroll Crawford Collection), The Detroit Institute of Arts, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Art Institute of Chicago which conserves "The Belmead Center Table" which sold in these rooms for a record $233,500 in September, 2000. For a discussion and illustration of the "Crawford" table, see pages 60‑61, Art & Enterprise - American Decorative Art 1825‑1917, by Donald C. Pierce. Other illustrated examples include one from the collection of the late Lee B. Anderson which is pictured on page 41, The Gothic Revival Style in America, 1830‑1870, by Katherine S. Howe and David B. Warren, published by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and another on pages 82‑83, In Pointed Style: The Gothic Revival in America, 1800‑1860, by Feld, Feld and Warren.

Presented in an exceptional ca. 1900 giltwood and gesso monumental oval frame. [50000/80000] Illustrated A native of Maine, Slonem studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting, Skowhegan, Maine; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee; and Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana. Well-known and admired for his deep appreciation of nature – especially birds, butterflies, and flora - Slonem has a truly unique and easily identifiable style. His paintings incorporate a rich, intense color palette, an almost expressionistic approach to form, and frequently – as seen in the fine monumental example offered here – his distinctive cross-hatching of the surface of the canvas. These elements all unite seamlessly to create vibrant works of depth and emotion. A work similar in composition, subject, and color as the present lot was prominently displayed in the windows of Bergdorf Goodman in New York City for the exhibition “An Artist’s Life-Hunt Slonem” (in conjunction with Marlborough Gallery, New York, New York).

Slonem has exhibited widely and his paintings are in the permanent collections of such fine institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of Art. He was the 1991 recipient of the prestigious National Endowment of the Arts grant.

The recipient of this handsome set - strikingly avant-garde for 1910 - was almost certainly Texas banker and financier Khleber Miller Van Zandt, Jr. (1861‑1925), son of K. M. Van Zandt and Margaret Virginia Peete and grandson of Isaac Van Zandt, namesake of Van Zandt County, Texas. The occasion of its presentation is clearly a 25th anniversary, presumably that of his marriage to his wife, Octavia Pendleton (1856‑1947), although Bell County, Texas records show the marriage took place on October 8, 1885 (not January 17th as inscribed here).

John Bradshaw, in his introduction to the “George Rodrigue: A Cajun Artist”, (Penguin, 1996), reflects on his first encounter with George Rodrigue and the Blue Dog: “My first impression of George Rodrigue’s paintings focused on the mere presence of the Blue Dog, which looked to me like it had been cut out and pasted like a stamp on an envelope. My first interpretation of Blue Dog was a friendly icon and symbol of death.”

He further explains that George’s own conception of his iconic symbol was different: he is the spirit of the deceased dog Tiffany, wandering the earth in search of reunion, reconciliation, and a final resting place. “Where are we going? Where is our home? What is the meaning of love in the face of death?

In Blue Dog, George seems to give us tentative answer.” Perhaps it is no surprise that the artist who has found a spiritual outlet in this seemingly simple, yet hypnotic symbol of both death and life, would pay yearly pilgrimage to Santa Fe, New Mexico, a longtime place of refuge for artists in search of inspiration and healing. It was in Santa Fe that George Rodrigue was introduced to Evergreen Lake, by Rosalea Murphy, a colorful local character and artist. He photographed her in the span of one afternoon and used those images in dozens of paintings. According to Wendy Rodrigue, “She became for him another Evangeline or Jolie Blond and appears in his work not only as herself, a Native American woman, but also as a Cajun ‘traiteur’ or healer.” In this rendition of Evergreen Lake, she is seated elegantly on a rustic Colonial trunk, dressed in a ghostly white gown, centrally poised between the Blue Dog in the foreground and the Native American blanket filling most of the background space.

The depth achieved skillfully by using vibrant color and bold design, reminds us of the artist’s training in graphic art at the Los Angeles Art Center. As with all of his “Blue Dog” paintings, the little dog’s yellow eyes stare directly at us and we in turn are compelled to stare back, reflecting on the scene presented. We project onto the painting our own fears, memories and hopes, yet are able to enjoy this striking image for its own merit.

[Korn 159c; Jumonville 944]. [2000/4000] Illustrated In November 1836, the struggle for Texan independence was at its peak. The previous month had seen Santa Anna’s abolition of all state legislatures and the Battles of Gonzales, Goliad and Conception. On November 7, the Texas Consultation declared the right to form an independent state, naming Henry Smith (1788‑1851) as Governor and appointing Stephen F. Austin, Branch T. Archer and William H. Wharton to serve as commissioners to the United States. The commissioners’ paramount concern was to secure funding for the war. The wealth of the richest Texans was in their lands so they had little ready cash to contribute, and smaller landowners were generally unable to pay their taxes and mortgages, while

192

the chaos of the war made customs duties impossible to collect. Thus, as Governor Smith stated, “our only succor is expected from the East where as yet we have not dispatched our agents . . . the fate of Texas depends upon their immediate dispatch and success”. The council passed a bill providing for a surety of one million dollars in public lands, and sent the commissioners to New Orleans in mid-December to negotiate the loans with U.S. citizens. The loan (in reality nothing more than a contract to buy 500,000 acres of land at fifty cents an acre) was immediately successful, garnering aggregate pledges of $200,000 and $50,000 in two separate loans on January 11th and 18th. The loan certificates were printed in New Orleans by Benjamin Levy (1786‑1860), a New York-born Jewish printer, stationer and bookseller who had settled in New Orleans in 1811. Far and away the largest lender was wealthy Kentucky speculator Robert Triplett (1793‑1853), who pledged $102,000 - more than ten times any other single lender (but for a $40,000 pledge from Cincinnati businessman Thomas D. Carneal). Thus funded, the Texas Revolution escalated, leading to the capture of Santa Anna in April, 1836. Almost immediately, the new Republic began to question the wisdom of having sold its choice lands so cheaply (as none of the lenders had ever intended to collect the interest on their loans but rather wanted the real estate), and after considerable bickering, a compromise was negotiated and the loans were eventually settled in May 1838. Triplett, unfortunately, never did become the Texas land baron he envisioned, ultimately being forced to accept a monetary settlement. For a complete account of the Texas commissioners’ New Orleans dealings, see Edward L Miller, New Orleans and the Texas Revolution (College Station, TX: Texas A & M University Press, 2004).

[1000/1500] Illustrated This rare and handsome map reflects the German efforts to colonize the new Republic of Texas in the 1840’s. Supreme among this effort was the Adelsverein - the “Nobility Society” - organized in 1842 by German noblemen. The society promoted a new Germany on Texan soil through mass emigration. To that end, the society negotiated the Fisher-Miller land grant of 3.8 million acres between the Llano and Colorado rivers to accommodate 1,000 emigrant families. The dangers of settling in the wilds of Comancheria proved daunting, and many settlers gravitated to the burgeoning cities of New Braunfels (founded 1845), Fredericksburg (founded 1846) and Tusculum (later Boerne, founded 1849). The map was printed through at least 1853, with no alteration to the somewhat misrepresented boundaries. (Lamar and Bowie counties, for instance, are not included though they had been organized by 1841.)

[1000/1500] Illustrated On January 1, 1866, American Secretary of State William H. Seward boarded the U.S.S. De Soto for a voyage to the West Indies - ostensibly a recuperative vacation, as he had not yet fully recovered from the vicious stabbing he received the previous April as part of the assassination conspiracy which claimed Abraham Lincoln on the same evening. But it was, in fact, a “working” vacation, for Seward had for almost a year been secretly negotiating with Denmark for the purchase of the islands of St. Thomas and St. John. On St. Thomas, he paid a courtesy visit to the exiled erstwhile President of Mexico, Antonio de Padua Maria Severino Lopez de Santa Anna y Perez de Lebron, the notorious Santa Anna. This peculiar visit would set in motion a series of events which led to the production of the present lot. Santa Anna had connived for years to return to Mexico after his disastrous and corrupt final term as President in 1855, which saw him deposed, exiled and tried in absentia for treason. The shamelessly shifting loyalties which enabled him - the architect of the massacre at the Alamo - to entertain a visit from a sitting American Secretary of State also permitted him the conceit that he could return to Mexico, either at the behest of, or the

194

conqueror of, French occupier Napoleon III (who doubtless took Santa Anna’s sobriquet “the Napoleon of the West” with Gallic sangfroid). Thus empowered by his own delusions, Santa Anna fell prey to two South American con-men - Dario Mazuera and Abraham Baez - who took Seward’s fortuitous visit as an opportunity to persuade Santa Anna that the American government was prepared to invest heavily in his “patriotic” desire to restore the Mexican Republic. Santa Anna gave the men most of his savings to purchase arms, a ship and to rent headquarters in Elizabethport, New Jersey in anticipation of his “invasion”, only to have the entire canard begin to unravel upon his arrival in the United States. Plagued by creditors and legal fees, he moved to Staten Island and launched a desperate campaign to raise funds. He contracted engraver and mapmaker Nathan Lane to create a series of $500 mortgage bonds on his properties: the “palaces” at Vera Cruz, Turbaco and St. Thomas, all of which are handsomely illustrated on the bond itself, along with a portrait of Santa Anna (looking much younger than his 72 years). The surety of the bonds was tenuous at best, the Mexican government having long since seized the properties it could and claiming the others, and the effort was predictably futile. Vainglorious in the recent overthrow of French puppet Maximilian I, Santa Anna used what little funds he raised (in less than a month) to book passage for Vera Cruz, where he was confident he would be asked to lead his country. He was instead arrested and sentenced to death. Benito Juarez’s re-established government commuted the sentence to eight years’ exile, and Santa Anna returned to the United States. He took advantage of a general amnesty to return to Mexico in 1874, where he died crippled, blind and penniless - on June 21, 1876. This document stands as a strangely beautiful and eerie last testament to one of the most famous - and infamous - men in North American history, whose most notable achievement in his last days was the introduction of chewing gum to the United States.

884 Unique Senatorially Autographed Copy of “U.S. Senators - 58th Congress”, Boston: Boston Budget Co., n.d. [Dec. 1904], folio, in dark blue cloth boards with printed endpapers, the front board gilt-stamped with title and owner’s name, containing ninety-two mechanically reproduced photographs, most by George Prince (1847‑1929), of all ninety U.S. senators at the third session of the 58th Congress (December 1904‑March 1905) and autographed by seventy-four of them, 16‑1/4” x 11‑1/4”. Ex libris: the Honorable Governor and Senator Murphy James Foster (1849‑1921) of Louisiana.

[700/1000] Illustrated A detailed list of signatories is available on request. The 1905 edition of Clark’s Boston Blue Book contains an advertisement from the Boston Budget Company (a erstwhile vanity press run by brothers Robert, George and William James) announcing that “the United States Senate Number of the Boston Budget will be published in December 1904” and would be “sold by subscription

at fifty cents per copy, carriage prepaid”. The Budget Company had created a similar photographic catalogue of the Senate (along with President McKinley and his cabinet) in 1901, also in collaboration with native D.C. photographer George Prince, who, until his scandalous divorce in 1907, was one of the premiere photographers of the Washington elite, his clientele including all presidents and first ladies from James A. Garfield to Theodore Roosevelt. This copy of the 1904 record belonged to Senator Murphy J. Foster of Louisiana, who had served as the state’s governor from 1892 to 1900 and thereafter was immediately elected to the U.S. Senate. Foster evidently carried his copy of the Senate Number into the chambers, where he painstakingly collected autographs of seventy-four of the ninety senators photographed. Many of these autographs are dated and, of these, the vast majority are in the first two weeks of April 1906. By this time, the 59th Congress had been seated for four months, and of the sixteen senators whose signatures are missing here, nine had either declined or failed their re-election bids, three had died, and one - Arthur P. Gorman (D-MD) - was gravely ill and unable to attend the sessions. Thus, Foster collected signatures of seventy-four of the seventyseven senators of the 58th Congress who returned to the 59th. The signatories constitute a momentary snapshot of the United States in April 1906, being a collection of western expansionists, northern imperialists and southern segregationists. Among them are Finance Committee Chairman Nelson W. Aldrich (R-NY), whose self-serving fiscal policies were attacked by muckraker David G. Phillips; imperialist Albert J. Beveridge (R-IN), who nonetheless championed the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 in response to Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, published only two months prior to Beveridge’s signature here; populist Joseph W. Bailey (D-TX), whose angry debates with Beveridge once led to a physical confrontation on the Senate floor; Brahmin Henry Cabot Lodge (R-MA), whose progressive views on civil rights for African Americans stood in contrast to his regressive anti-immigrant policies; urbane and witty Boies Penrose (R-PA), known for his quip “Public office is the last refuge of the scoundrel”; rabid racist Benjamin “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman (D-SC), who said that Theodore Roosevelt’s White House dinner with Booker T. Washington would “necessitate our killing a thousand n*****s in the South before they learn their place again”; self-made George C. Perkins (R-CA), who grew from a runaway cabin boy to a wealthy San Francisco merchant, unaware while signing this book that the devastating 1906 earthquake was a mere two weeks away; dour and intolerant Furnifold M. Simmons (D-NC), who pedantically corrected the typographical error in his Christian name while signing; and Mormon Reed Smoot (R-UT), the first of his faith to serve in the Senate, whose seat was challenged on the (demonstrably false) accusation that he was a polygamist (prompting the ever-glib Boies Penrose to comment “I would rather have seated beside me in the chamber a polygamist who doesn’t polyg than a monogamist who doesn’t monog.”). Senator Foster was so diligent in collecting these signatures that he did not neglect Charles G. Bennett, the Secretary of the Senate, the only nonSenator in the book and whose photograph concludes it.

Foster remained in the Senate until 1913, when he failed to receive his party’s nomination. President Woodrow Wilson appointed him Customs Collector in New Orleans, and he died near Franklin, Louisiana on June 12, 1921.

[15000/25000] Illustrated The present cabinet exhibits a number of characteristic Herter traits, including the oft-repeated incising patterns of a wide line and parallel narrower one, spade and maple leaf-form incising, finished, unveneered cherry wood interior, and characteristic door, drawer and case construction. Like many Herter case pieces, the back is inset a few inches to allow trimming of the sides of the case to accommodate baseboards and rail moldings, yet still fit flush against the wall. This cabinet has never been so altered. Similar banded inlay to that beneath the top of this cabinet is illustrated in Herter Brothers: Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age, by Howe, Frelinghuysen

and Voorsanger, catalog item #12. That cabinet utilizes inlaid banding in the same pattern, but executed in different woods resulting in a differing palette. The inlaid banding around the perimeter of the center door and at the rounded corners is also found on a cabinet dated 1871, item #14 ibid. The pietra dura panel in the central door of the present cabinet places this among a small group of pieces incorporating “Florentine mosaics” in a January 1870 dispute of import duties; the firm stated that the plaques were to be used as ornaments for mantels and panels, and that “no more such goods will be sent them for some years.” According to Howe, Frelinghuysen and Voorsanger, “It would appear their assertion was correct, for few Herter pieces have survived with such mosaics, and those that do date between the late 1860’s and early 1870’s”, ibid, page 118.

In 2012, public television station WLAE launched the television series "Made in New Orleans," an educational and cultural initiative spotlighting local artists. The program is hosted by artist and publisher Steve Martin. The goal of the series is to honor and celebrate the great work that local artists contribute to the cultural economy of our city and to provide a plat form to showcase their work to new audiences in our community. As a part of the series, each artist has donated an original piece of their artwork to be auctioned for the benefit of the station’s cultural mission to educate, inform and inspire audience of all ages. New Orleans Auction is pleased to collaborate once more with WLAE-T V in this fundraising ef fort to raise money to be used for the third season of "Made in New Orleans"

Conditions of Sale:

(a). ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.

ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. PLEASE SEE SECTION 2(a) BELOW IN WHICH ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS) ARE WAIVED.

1. INTRODUCTION (a). These Conditions of Sale (“Conditions of Sale”) contain all the terms governing Auctions (defined below) conducted by Cakebread Art Antiques Collectables, Inc. d/b/a New Orleans Auction Galleries (“NOAG”), and all the terms under which NOAG and the Seller (defined below) of a Lot (defined below) contract with the Buyer (defined below). These Conditions of Sale may be amended by posted notices or oral announcements made during the Auction. (b). Under these Conditions of Sale, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows: • An “Auction” is a public auction conducted by NOAG, at which Bidders may place Bids to purchase one or more Lots offered for sale by NOAG. An Auction takes place over one or more days and includes separate auctions of one or more Lots within an event conducted by NOAG; • The “Auctioneer” is the auctioneer calling the Auction conducted by NOAG; A “Bid” is a bid made by a party at the Auction to purchase a Lot; • A “Bidder” is (i) a person making a Bid at the Auction (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); and/or (ii) a person who attends the Auction and registers to make a Bid (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); • A “Buyer” is the party that commits to purchase a Lot by submitting the Winning Bid at Auction; • “Buyer’s Premium” is defined in Section 4 below; • “Catalogue” is the Auction catalogue utilized by NOAG to list the Lots offered at Auction; • The “Estimates” are the high and low estimates of value for each Lot set forth in the Catalogue presented by NOAG in connection with the Auction or otherwise set forth and/or announced at the Auction; • The “Hammer Price” for a Lot is the amount of the Winning Bid at the Auction, as announced by the Auctioneer, exclusive of commissions, Buyer’s Premium, expenses, and any taxes or other charges; • A “Lot” is specific item of property offered for sale at Auction; The “Reserve” is defined in Section 3 below; • The “Purchase Price” is defined in Section 4 below; A “Sale” of a Lot occurs when a Winning Bid is declared at Auction for the Lot; • The “Seller” of a Lot is the party who consigned the Lot with NOAG for purposes of selling the Lot, or is otherwise the seller of the Lot; • The “Winning Bid” is, as to a particular Lot, the Bid recognized by the Auctioneer as the highest and best Bid for that Lot.

(c). Except as otherwise stated, NOAG acts as consignment agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the Lot is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

(i) NEITHER NOAG NOR THE SELLER PROVIDES ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY AS TO THE NATURE, DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, PROVENANCE, IMPORTANCE, OR CONDITION OF THE LOT. All Sales and Auctions are without any representation or warranty of any kind by NOAG or the Seller. Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing provided. All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.” (ii) No warranty of redhibition. ANY WARANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty against redhibitory defects, including without limitation: (x) any defects rendering a Lot useless or its use inconvenient; and (y) any defects diminishing the usefulness of a Lot; and any such warranties are waived and excluded. In addition, NOAG and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer’s intended use or for Buyer’s particular purpose. (iii) No warranty against eviction. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither NOAG nor Seller have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer’s sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale. (iv) No warranty as to authorship. NOAG does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship of works of art and fine art. 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. (v) No warranty of peaceful possession, etc. The following warranties are waived and excluded: the absence of hidden defects, peaceful possession, and ownership. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty that the Lot is free from hidden defects, or for peaceful possession, or for ownership. (vi) No other warranties. None of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance.

Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). Examination of property / Condition Reports. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that NOAG produce a Condition Report (“Condition Report”) for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed by NOAG’s staff. NOAG reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in NOAG’s sole discretion.

Rev. 10/2013

(c). Catalogue and other descriptions. (i) All statements made by NOAG as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalogue entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/ or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. (iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price. (iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.

3. AT THE AUCTION (a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG; (ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment (iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and (v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion. (c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids. (i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).

Rev. 10/2013

(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith. (d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence

by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). Auctioneer’s discretion. The Auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j). NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.

4. AFTER THE AUCTION (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 23% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 20% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction. Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 801 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express).

Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.

Rev. 10/2013

(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly. All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs;

sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer.
