Throughout my years working in the auction world, I’ve encountered homes in many different states, from newly decorated and full of life to spaces suspended between past and future. These transitional spaces can often feel mysterious, as though the soul of the home is exhaling one final breath before turning the page to usher in a new chapter.
Similarly, an auction house acts as a liminal space. Items pass through our gallery–each rich with history and stories–before they journey into a new space and take on a second life. Once the flurry of activity settles at the end of every auction, a peacefulness descends upon the building, momentarily closing the portal between what once was and what now will be.
In our July 26-27 Estates Auction, we are honored to offer the Estate of Charles Whited, an accomplished attorney and a champion of the New Orleans arts scene. His ardent focus on supporting local artists and organizations left a long-lasting impact on our community.
While I did not know Charles well, he was a welcomed sight whenever he visited our gallery. Brilliant and kind, you didn’t need to be close to him to feel his presence. All of us at New Orleans Auction were saddened to hear of his death earlier this year. We are grateful for the opportunity to share his story, and offer fine art, furniture and decorative objects from his lifetime collection, which you can read about in the pages that follow.
This sale also offers a wide-ranging selection of items spanning centuries and representing many different styles, including a dazzling selection of fine jewelry, a
selection of sculptures by beloved Birmingham artist Frank Fleming and an impressive collection of fine carpets from a Palm Beach villa designed by Juan Pablo Molyneux.
Our two-week exhibition begins Monday, July 14. Our gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Be sure to join us for an Evening Preview during the first week of exhibition on Thursday, July 17, from 5 to 7 p.m. The auction begins at 10 a.m. CST on Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27.
As always, we are happy to assist with any questions or additional photos. Whether it’s online or in person, we hope you enjoy exploring this auction.
See you at the auction,
Taylor Eichenwald President
Frank Fleming (1940-2018)
Written by / Valeria L. Palmertree
Frank Fleming was born in Bear Creek, Alabama in 1940. The fourth son of modest farmers, he grew up plowing with mules, growing his own vegetables and picking cotton by hand with his brothers and sister, a task that he would, many years later, credit with developing the dexterity that made him a skilled sculptor.
Fleming not only loved being in nature, he thrived in it. When a severe, debilitating speech impediment caused him to stop talking in the first grade, the outdoors became his escape. Isolated from his peers, Fleming connected with the natural world. On hikes with his family’s dog and driving the cows to the barn for the night, Fleming sang. With no one around to laugh at him, the words seemingly flowed effortlessly and without embarrassment. Fleming often said he felt more comfortable around animals than humans, a poignant sentiment in his works.
“I was more at ease with nature and animals than people; I lived within myself. I didn’t use words to describe the things I saw, and I’m sure because I didn’t use words, I tended to think in visual images.”
Encouraged by a teacher who recognized Fleming’s intelligence and drive, Fleming became the first in his family to pursue a college degree. As a lover of animals, he originally considered majoring in biology, but an elective art class changed his course. Much like nature, art allowed Fleming to express himself without a need for words. Words did eventually come, however, thanks to intensive speech therapy, some sessions lasting upwards of eight hours. After 11 years of being practically mute, Fleming found his voice and his calling in the arts.
Fleming graduated from Florence State College (now the University of North Alabama) in 1962 and went on to earn his Master of Arts (1969) and Master of Fine Arts (1973) from the University of Alabama. After college, he worked as a draftsman at Boeing/NASA, where he lettered for flip charts. While the work paid well and afforded him to splurge on a beloved 1965 Porsche 912, Fleming craved more creative freedom of expression.
In 1973, Fleming had an awakening during a road trip to San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts. Marveling at sculptures by Funk artists Ron Nagle, David Gilhooly and Marilyn Levine, he discovered that fine art could be funny, realistic and unabashedly bold. Crediting that experience with a profound shift in his artistic direction, he set up his Birmingham studio shortly thereafter.
Fleming found his passion in pottery, particularly in Tennessee porcelain, painstakingly building finely detailed, surreal and often irreverent ceramic sculptures. In the early 1980s, he adopted bronze, a material that afforded him greater financial stability.
Preferring to watch his compositions evolve as he worked, Fleming rarely created conceptual sketches of his work. While he used color and glazes in his early work, he eventually chose to do without them altogether, allowing his pieces to capture nature’s textured realism. Patient and dexterous, Fleming skillfully leveraged natural elements in his works –using a feather to impress exact detail on hundreds of tiny clay pieces, then overlapping them to create a bird’s winged surface, for example.
In this manner, Fleming completed numerous sculptures over his 40-year career. Ranging from the political and absurd to the mythical and witty, Fleming’s sculptures blend human and animal forms in a veracity of detail only he could’ve masterfully achieved.
“This guy in this book [on ceramics] called me a Southern freak. That’s the biggest compliment I’ve had.”
– Frank Fleming
As told to Garden & Gun, 2014
Fleming eschewed conventions throughout the course of his career, unapologetically bringing to life the wild, weird and wonderful. Most of Fleming’s works involve anthropomorphized animals, human-animal hybrids and other such organic cross-combinations. Sometimes ironic, whimsical or pointedly political or cultural, each shares humor as a common undercurrent. In his own words, “It doesn’t have to have a reason. Many, many things, we have to have a reason behind it. Why? I don’t think you always have to ask, ‘Why turkey legs on an egg?’ you know?”
Fleming’s reputation as a distinctly talented and serious fine artist rose in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. In 1988, he created “The Magic Hoop,” his first outdoor sculpture, for the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. The piece depicts an anthropomorphized pig seated on a turtle and playing with a hoop and pole, now one of several pieces by the artist near the museum’s outdoor “Till Fountain.”
His second and most prominent outdoor commission, “The Storyteller” (1992), resides in Birmingham’s Five Points community. The fantastical sculpture, conceptualized as a memorial to local art dealer Malcolm McRae, features realistically depicted fairytale figures gathered around a central “storyteller,” a man with a ram’s head. The popular landmark remains a poignant example of Fleming’s brilliant use of animals and magical themes.
For more than four decades, Fleming exhibited his works in more than 40 solo exhibitions and more than 100 group exhibitions. Generous with his time and free of ego, he consistently supported Alabama museums and organizations, lectured and conducted numerous workshops around the country and abroad, inspiring a new generation of artists along the way.
When he wasn’t creating or ardently cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Fleming could be found in his garden, which included an intensively productive vegetable garden on his property surrounding his studio. In fact, his watermelon rind pickle once won first prize at the Alabama State Fair.
“Frank said he wanted us to see the honesty in his work, that it was very personal, and meant many things, and there is not just one way to interpret it. Frank found himself in his art, and I think he is asking each of us to take the time to look, to listen and do the same.”
– Gail Andrews Birmingham Museum of Art
Fleming died in March 2018 in Birmingham after a brief illness. Having lived alone for most of his life, his thoughts will always remain as enigmatic as his art –and perhaps, that’s the point.
New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to present seven distinct works by Fleming (Lots 621-627), including two commissioned pieces, from several different collectors. Each represents the artist’s prowess in both bronze and Tennessee porcelain across diverse subject matter, from rabbits and trees to rams and fruits.

Charles Lewis Whited, Jr. grew up between two hemispheres, paving the way for a lifetime of cultural exploration, immersion and appreciation.
Born in New Orleans, Charles spent several years of his childhood in Caracas, Venezuela, where his father once worked as a geologist. His early immersion into the South American country’s culture, the Spanish language and his mother’s Basque heritage sparked his inherent curiosity for the world.
Charles participated fully in the colorful culture of his native city. He was a champion of the New Orleans art community, a respected attorney, and, most notably, a faithful friend to a wide circle of individuals and an integral part of many families.
After attending De La Salle High School in New Orleans, Charles pursued his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Virginia, where he was a highly accomplished student and a devoted Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity member.
Charles received three post-graduate degrees from Tulane University: a Juris Doctor, a Master's in Business Administration and a Master's in Admiralty Law. He began his professional career working at a Protection & Indemnity (P&I) association in London, where he established life-long friends and colleagues in the maritime field.
For nearly three decades, Charles adeptly counseled his local, national and international clients in matters of admiralty law; he retired from the New Orleans firm of Murphy Rogers in 2020. His clients and colleagues respected, admired and celebrated Charles’s unique perspective, trusted guidance, cultural appreciation and invaluable mentorship.
Clients, family and friends alike remember Charles as a brilliant intellectual with a boundless range of interests, which he was willing to share unabashedly. Those lucky enough to be on his contact list would regularly receive emails on every imaginable topic, from the week’s weather forecast and the latest in international affairs to rap and New Orleans bounce music culture.
Despite his encyclopedic knowledge, Charles lived without pretense. His disarming humility, authenticity, kindness and characteristic humor allowed him to connect with everyone.
“Dinner table conversations with Charles opened my eyes to an array of enriching ideas and challenged me to think bigger and wider. He could speak to Japanese pottery, life and Spain under [Francisco] Franco, the nuances of the Basque language and African tribal art. I would leave time with him having been exposed to new concepts and with a greater sense of our place within the larger tapestry of global culture.”
– Will Duncan
Charles traveled avidly, always seeking immersive cultural experiences and learning opportunities. Having begun his career in London, he developed a lifelong connection to the city. Proud of his Basque heritage, Charles notably enjoyed visits to San Sebastián and his annual pilgrimage to Madrid, where he never tired of revisiting beloved works of art at the Museo del Prado.
On trips with friends and their children, Charles humbly imparted knowledge of art and culture. During a visit to the Sistine Chapel, a young friend recalled that Charles, with apologies, corrected a tour guide on a nuance of 16th-century art history.
Just weeks before his death, he had returned from London and Madrid with stories of special times with relatives and friends and enthusiastic reports of rounds of museum visits.
“He instilled
in us a love and appreciation for art and its makers. He taught us that art was more than still lives and portraits, and he showed us that art can be cool, giving us edgy and provocative works. As we got older, he helped guide our own art purchases. He helped us discern art that had depth, substance and beauty…”
– Katherine Duncan
Of all of Charles’s wide-ranging interests, art remained his most consuming passion – one that began when he was a young child, browsing the art books within his reach on his grandmother’s bookshelf. He had an exceptional eye for beauty, and in his later years, he opted for the unique and alluring power of the new. Over the years, he amassed an impressive personal collection that reflects his impassioned belief in art and its potential to inspire.
Charles’ expertise in art spanned centuries and included a profound command of history, artists and global collections. After New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina and
as he explored ways to uplift and give back to his cherished community, Charles had a transformative epiphany: to date, most of his time had been devoted to the study of deceased artists and a traditional palette, rather than living artists. Resultingly, he immersed himself in the movement of the art collectives on Saint Claude Avenue and the works of these emerging local artists.
Charles advocated for the New Orleans art community and was an avid supporter of The Front, Good Children Gallery, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Generic Art Solutions, Prospect New Orleans, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and the inmate artists at Angola (the Louisiana State Penitentiary), among others.
“Charles’s love for the local art community ran deep. He didn’t miss an exhibition. He pushed me in the studio and was a guiding force to many other local artists, including emerging artists and incarcerated artists. Artists felt seen in his company.”
– Dan Charbonnet
When Charles was exposed to an artist whose work or talent moved him, he followed him or her with a steadfast commitment to their growth. New Orleans artists Adam Farrington, Dan Charbonnet, Scott Andresen, Skylar Fein, and Susan Bowers are just a few among those whom Charles not only revered but also wholeheartedly befriended. They remember him as a supportive friend whose constant and reliable presence inspired their artistic evolution.
Much like his approach to art, Charles didn’t collect relationships for show. He deeply valued and nurtured his relationships. His loved ones echo this sentiment, consistently referring to Charles as fiercely loyal, boundlessly generous and uniquely effervescent. In turn, his friends were devoted to him. The depth and range of his friendships reflect his spirit.
To those who knew him as their friend, Charles exemplified the truest sense of the word. He was an in-demand guest at many families’ tables and never missed participating in friends’ celebratory milestones and more somber moments alike. To his friends’ children and grandchildren, he was “Tío Carlos,” an ever-present source of wisdom, affection, trustworthiness and humor.
It has been said that Charles was an aesthete, a polymath. Notably, this life of the mind included placing a great value on and showing compassion for people; his greatest treasure was time spent with his loved ones – especially if it happened to be at Tartine, one of his favorite restaurants in town.
“Charles didn’t brandish a paintbrush or spin a potter’s wheel, but he brought color and form to all of our lives through the way that he lived his.”
– Will Duncan
Charles passed away earlier this year, leaving behind an indelible legacy.
New Orleans Auction is honored to present the Estate of Charles Lewis Whited, Jr., including fine art, antique furniture and decorative objects from around the world. An inveterate art collector and staunch supporter of young, struggling artists, Charles’s impressive collection includes works by well-exhibited contemporary painters, sculptors and photographers, as well as items by students, inmates and the self-taught. His presence will be sorely missed in the local art community.

Raised in a Jewish family that owned a dry goods and clothing store on a once bustling corner of Dryades Street, Alan Gerson did not join the family businesses. Instead, he pursued an artistic career, receiving an MFA from the University of New Orleans. From 1980 to 1985, he was the visual arts director of the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans, before drastically changing direction and earning a law degree from Tulane University. Self-described as living through “three long, horrible years” as an attorney, Gerson abandoned the law and returned to art.
Gerson’s colorful, surreal paintings often feature a recurring, semi-autobiographical character he calls his “goofy guy.” In Geography Lesson, his “goofy guy” is placed in a classroom containing a wall map, globe, and illustrations of nonsensical views of the world.

The concrete reality of those I photograph consists of the burden of maintaining mental health without healthcare, of being a person whose role is to make other’s spaces beautiful which by necessity means repurposing objects for their own, of having traumatic experiences with no recourse, cycles of depression in the service of the hospitality industry, expressing gender and sexuality despite judgment, and persisting in generative work through loss. My story is intertwined with those I photograph - we cohabit spaces and experiences within a community of artists, activists, and healers.

Street art has captivated the public for decades, with its roots in figurativism and typography, and continues to gain momentum in the contemporary art world. But MOMO, the mysterious and highly skilled street artist, has risen to prominence by moving away from the roots of street art and towards something entirely different: abstraction. This pivot is described by the artist as “post-graffiti.” MOMOís abstractions are often characterized by fluidity and movement, with lines and shapes that overlap and intertwine. Combining this fluidity with a bright and dynamic color palette, the artist creates murals and studio art that coalesce into an emotive experience for viewers.
Given his distinctive style, MOMO has garnered international attention and high praise from collectors and critics alike, making the artist a driving force in the legitimization of graffiti and street art as fine art. Both visually stunning and socially relevant, his work has challenged the traditional views of fine art, destabilizing the hierarchies of high and low art. Today, MOMO continues to innovate his techniques from his studio in New Orleans, as his influence paves the way for a new generation of street artists to push the boundaries of the medium.

The Louisiana alligator was a favorite subject of Ecuadorianborn artist George Febres.

The three-piece ceramic Gator Plates revolve around the birth of a clutch of alligator eggs. In one plate, there are three eggs in a nest, and the other two plates depict the dynamic emergence of the baby alligators bursting from their shells.

The charismatic artist, curator, and gallery owner George Febres was a member of Visionary Imagists, a group of artists that were part of the resurgence of New Orleans as a regional art center in the 1970s. Immigrating to New Orleans from Ecuador, Febres' immersed himself into the local art community and graduated from the fine arts programs at the University of New Orleans (UNO) and Louisiana State University (LSU).
In his artwork, Febres created surreal visual puns often embedded with humor and sexual innuendoes. Initially, his use of puns derived from learning English with pictorial images for words. Although he worked in a variety of mediums, Febres said, “The basis of everything I do is a good drawing, I do a drawing a day.” Febresí drawings were precisely drafted and delightfully filled with his unique surrealist wit. In this image of the Double-Breasted Hen, Febres evoked an element of human sexuality by adding breasts to the hen and littering the landscape with feathers.

A native of Mexico who was to become one of New Orleans’ most beloved artists, Alferez received his earliest art instruction in the studio of his father, a European trained sculptor of religious figures. He studied under Laredo Taft at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, being schooled in the rudiments of the waning Beaux-Arts style. It wasn’t until the emergence of Art Deco that Alferez developed his distinctive style which adeptly reduced the human form to its most essential elements. His works, whether sculpture or drawing, are redolent of the influence of his Mexican childhood, an inspiring combination of pre-Colombian relics, Catholic symbolism, and the vestiges of colonialism.

60” x 60”, framed 65” x 65”
$5,000-$8,000
David Harouni is a gifted and well-loved artist based in New Orleans, known primarily for a painting practice characterized by physicality. The duality of stillness and movement draws the viewer into the mesmerizing interior world of a Harouni painting, accentuated by his signature, expressive brushwork. In the exceptional lot offered here, Untitled, Harouni's modernist prowess is at its finest; two figures, male and female, dancing together in rapture. The faces, although blurred, both look upward and away from each other as if experiencing ecstasy. The female figure opens her body as the male figure lifts his leg behind him. Muscles flared and tensed, the figures mirror each other's movements as gauzy fabric floats between them. The backdrop, a wash of yellow and red hues, is textured but still. The expressionistic work, bolstered by Harouni's dynamic brushstrokes and warm toned color palette, is a singular example of the artistís modernist mastery. 246

Upon his return to the United States, he concentrated on life studies of animals. His bronzes of horses, dogs, and - as represented here - even pigs, were acclaimed for their attention to detail and the accuracy of their anatomy and musculature. He was elected to the National Academy in 1906, the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1910, and served as an instructor at the New York National Academy of Design from 1915-1918 where he was a beloved and influential teacher. In the 1930s, he was the chief sculptor for the New York Park Department under the Public Works Administration (WPA).

“With their suggestions of silence, solitude, reverie and even madness, these paintings are meant to evoke aspects of our more reflective (and sometimes) darker states. By tapping into these introspective states, I seek above all to create an art that, while seemingly possessing a Renaissance or Baroque pedigree, is itself rich with its own mythic and symbolic potential.”

Provenance: Daliano Ribani Arte, Carrara, Italy.
Often dubbed “Italy’s Andy Warhol”, Mario Schifano was a consummate postmodernist - a painter, musician, and filmmaker whose multifaceted career defies categorization. He embraced the closely intertwined relationship between Pop art and postmodernism. Schifano led a colorful life from an early age: his social circle included Cy Twombly, Frank O’Hara, and Jean-Luc Godard, and he had many romantic dalliances, including famously stealing Marianne Faithfull away from Mick Jagger. His debaucherous lifestyle earned him six separate prison sentences. In recent years, Schifano’s vivacious oeuvre and way of life have earned him several retrospectives, including those at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and at the Gallerie d’Italia in Naples.
Born in Libya at the time of Italian colonization, Schifano moved with his family to Rome at a young age. He never attended art school, opting for a self-taught approach, and worked as a ceramics restorer as he began to paint. He rose to fame with his Monocromi series - canvases that consisted of a single color, humming with energy - that he debuted at his first solo exhibition in 1959. In 1963, he declared he was done with monochromes, upsetting gallerists and art dealers throughout Italy, and pivoted sharply towards Pop art.
By this time, Rome had become a glitzy city of conspicuous consumption, and Schifano’s work reflected the wealth of imagery entering Italian culture through ubiquitous advertising. At the height of his fame, Schifano was known to throw lavish parties in his Roman apartment and whip around the ancient city in his Rolls Royce, often with members of the Rolling Stones in tow. Seeking reinvention, he again pivoted in the late 1960s, this time towards abstraction; using unorthodox materials like parcel paper and enamel paint, Schifano anticipated the Arte Povera movement.
Schifano worked intermittently until his death in 1998, embracing elements of gestural abstraction, geometric abstraction, Pop art, Conceptualism, and Arte Povera. His oeuvre defies narrow definitions, but his dedications to play, diversity, destruction of hierarchies, and the individual experience places him squarely as a father of postmodernism. Today, his influence - from his prolific creative output to his indulgent lifestyle - still reverberates throughout the contemporary art world.

Provenance: Private collection, Houston, Texas.
Klinge's large-scale sculptures are explorations of the human form, often referencing the archaic, classical or historical. His figures are abstracted and gestural, often verging on the brutalist, and reduced to the most essential - yet identifiable - elements. He utilizes an unusual and painstaking technique, first roughly carving (sometimes with a chain saw) the figures from wood before employing the lost-wax method for bronze casting, using partially wooden molds to create the resulting distinctive roughhewn surface. Each sculpture is patinated by the artist himself, to ensure the proper tone and surface and maintain the integrity of his vision.

“The ethereal payoff is indeed redolent of a mix of Mastersthe vivid hues of Titian, the straining bodies of Rubens, the sun-dappling chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, but also the loose brushstrokes and fluid movement of Delacroix; hints, too, of the Tiepolo-esque heavenly ascents adorning many an 18th century Venetian chapel.”
- Adam Jacques for The Independent, London, January 6, 2013
Rogers refers to her style of photography as underwater contemporary Baroque and has stated: “What I want more than ever is to express and inspire hope and freedom, a sense of wonder and tranquility, to create a safe place to dream wildly, and most importantly to inspire the idea that there are still mysterious, impossibly beautiful things on earth - not solely in our imaginations.” A native of Hawaii, Rogers received her first camera at the age of sixteen but did not publicly reveal her work until she was in her 30s. Enthralled by the natural beauty of her home state, she initially concentrated on landscape photography before eventually exploring more experimental subjects and techniques. Her series Siren was her first completely underwater shoot, and she used her friends as her models. Rogers works at night, utilizing light refraction to achieve her distinctive ethereal images. The nature of the process requires Rogers to relinquish control; she is, to some extent, at the mercy of the water. The resulting photographs, as evidenced by the one offered here, are atmospheric explorations of light, shadow, and movement.

Based in Arizona, Steven Hofberger is a contemporary artist whose creative practice is populated by images of amphorae, women, and cityscapes. This imagery, in conjunction with his signature use of repurposed materials, evokes the cyclical nature of human civilization, stirring a dialogue between the past and the present. Hofberger paints each work as a lens through which he and the viewer can reframe the cycles of history collaboratively.

$4,000-$7,000
Provenance: Daliano Ribani Arte, Carrara, Italy.
Often dubbed “Italy’s Andy Warhol”, Mario Schifano was a consummate postmodernist - a painter, musician, and filmmaker whose multifaceted career defies categorization. He embraced the closely intertwined relationship between Pop art and postmodernism. Schifano led a colorful life from an early age: his social circle included Cy Twombly, Frank O’Hara, and Jean-Luc Godard, and he had many romantic dalliances, including famously stealing Marianne Faithfull away from Mick Jagger. His debaucherous lifestyle earned him six separate prison sentences. In recent years, Schifano’s vivacious oeuvre and way of life have earned him several retrospectives, including those at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and at the Gallerie d’Italia in Naples.
Born in Libya at the time of Italian colonization, Schifano moved with his family to Rome at a young age. He never attended art school, opting for a self-taught approach, and worked as a ceramics restorer as he began to paint. He rose to fame with his Monocromi series - canvases that consisted of a single color, humming with energy - that he debuted at his first solo exhibition in 1959. In 1963, he declared he was done with monochromes, upsetting gallerists and art dealers throughout Italy, and pivoted sharply towards Pop art.
By this time, Rome had become a glitzy city of conspicuous consumption, and Schifano’s work reflected the wealth of imagery entering Italian culture through ubiquitous advertising. At the height of his fame, Schifano was known to throw lavish parties in his Roman apartment and whip around the ancient city in his Rolls Royce, often with members of the Rolling Stones in tow. Seeking reinvention, he again pivoted in the late 1960s, this time towards abstraction; using unorthodox materials like parcel paper and enamel paint, Schifano anticipated the Arte Povera movement.
Schifano worked intermittently until his death in 1998, embracing elements of gestural abstraction, geometric abstraction, Pop art, Conceptualism, and Arte Povera. His oeuvre defies narrow definitions, but his dedications to play, diversity, destruction of hierarchies, and the individual experience places him squarely as a father of postmodernism. Today, his influence - from his prolific creative output to his indulgent lifestyle - still reverberates throughout the contemporary art world.

“You're an interesting man - I enjoy people like you - but inside you there are an angel and a devil. If the devil wins, we'll crush you. If the angel wins, we'll do all we can to help you.”
- Nikita Khrushchev 1962
The expressionist sculptor and painter Ernst Neizvestny attended a school for artistically gifted children in Leningrad
(now St. Petersberg) before spending several years in the Russian army during World War II. Upon his military release, he studied at the art academies in Riga (present day Latvia) and Moscow and enrolled in the Moscow State University.
It was a confrontation with Nikita Khrushchev in 1962 that cemented Ernst Neizvestnyís reputation as an unapologetic and outspoken supporter of contemporary Russian art. At a function of the Moscow Union of Artists, the Russian Communist leader was incensed by what he perceived as the degeneracy of the art before him. He singled out Neizvestny as the leader and the two had a heated exchange - in front of hundreds of people and a film crew. Refusing to back down, Neizvestny eventually earned Khrushchev's begrudging respect, though the disagreement continued several months later at a select government gathering. For the next several years, Neizvestny was unable to work in any official capacity. Ironically, after Khrushchev's death in 1971, his family commissioned the artist to create his official memorial at Novodevichy Cemetery.
Neizvestny fled Russia in 1976, eventually settling in New York. His work was greatly admired in the West, and the art critic John Berger stated that, "Neizvestny is principally the first visual artist of genius to have emerged in the Soviet Union since the twenties."

glazed Tennessee porcelain in two segments. h. 58”, w. 18”, d. 21”
$10,000-$15,000
Rabbits frequently inhabit Frank Fleming's imaginary natural world. Whether crafted from porcelain or cast in bronze, each sculpture of a rabbit is an individual that was uniquely depicted by the artist: some rabbits are clothed, anthropomorphized with human hands and feet, or interact with his other animal sculptures. This porcelain sculpture of “Peter the Rabbit” is a natural and realistic version, one covered with fur and having paws. The distinguishing feature of this rabbit is that it is raised up on his hind quarters and stands nearly five feet tall, creating a commanding presence.

Frank Fleming (American/Alabama, 1940-2018)
“Ram Man”, 1984
partially glazed Tennessee porcelain incised signature and date en verso of stump. 14-1/2” x 6-1/2” x 7-1/2”
$2,500-$4,000
The sculptural fountain The Storyteller was envisioned as a memorial to Malcolm McRae, a Birmingham art dealer and anthropologist, who died tragically. A committee comprised of McRae’s mother, friends, and local politicians selected Alabama artist Frank Fleming to design and create the fountain. Initially, Fleming planned on a “peaceful kingdom” with the central figure of a lion surrounded by rabbits, frogs, turtles, and dogs listening attentively to the storyteller. As the work progressed, Fleming made the decision to have the central figure become an anthropomorphized figure of a “ram man,” which he felt symbolized McRae.
As part of the commission, Fleming created several maquettes and sculptural versions of the “ram man” for the selection committee. Similar to the final version, this maquette was seated fully clothed on a tree stump, but instead of book and staff in his hands, he holds a fig. The image of fig has various symbolic meanings including enlightenment, peace, fertility, and abundance.

After a road trip to San Francisco, Frank Fleming embraced the new aesthetic of the Funk Art Movement of the 1970s which encouraged moving away from abstract expressionism while embracing the figurative. The Funk Art Movement emphasized the physicality of the art-making process and promoted elevating ceramics to the realm of fine art and rejecting its functional aspects.
A commissioned piece, Frank Fleming's Summer Harvest features a large cornucopia overflowing with okra, figs, corn, pear, and apples, with a soup tureen nestled beside it. The interior of the tureen is glazed and includes a ladle, which makes the piece unique for Fleming with its functionality. The piece was personally inscribed, “I hope you enjoy the soup tureen as much as I enjoyed making it, on these past few extremely hot and dry days in the third week of June 1988-Summer, The USA. Frank Fleming.”

Don Eddy (American, b. 1944)

acrylic on wood panel nine panels within an integral framework, with a “Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York” label en verso. overall 52-1/2” x 62-1/2”
$12,000-$18,000
Provenance: Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York, New York; Private collection.
Since 1990, a distinguishing feature of Don Eddy's work has been his experimental use of format to explore the nature of representational art. Drawing inspiration from Medieval altarpieces, Eddy combines multiple canvases to create diptychs, triptychs, and polyptychs. Each canvas is overtaken by imagery that ranges from the micro to the macro, including scenes of nature, light, and humanity, which evoke juxtaposing themes of change and timelessness. As a master of representational art, Eddy employs a meticulous creative process involving three layers of underpaint: the first layer consists of tiny circles painted in phthalocyanine green to establish the values, while the second and third layers are painted with burnt sienna and dioxazine purple paints to distinguish the warm and cool tones. This meditative process produces hyper realistic depictions, imbuing the work with a spiritual quality that invites the viewer to contemplate the depth of the presented images.
Motus Orbicularis is a monumental polyptych comprised of nine interconnected panels. At its center is a landscape, bordered by various scenes of human connection, animals, fire, and architectural details. As the conversation between the interwoven images intensifies, it emphasizes the dynamism of experience and the relationship between human society and nature. This open-ended reflection encourages the viewer to engage with the piece and consider their personal narratives in relation to the harmony and balance of all living things.

$3,000-$5,000
“Colors are the essence of his work. Not as a means to an end - although he is a master at handling paint - but as protagonists, agents, within what he paints.”
- John Berger
A post-World War II abstract artist, Jenkins is acclaimed for his unusual and distinctive technique of paint application which combined paint pouring with canvas (or paper) manipulation. The result is thin layers of translucent colors that seemingly flow and pool of their own volition, creating amorphous, sinuous forms which belie the meticulous and careful planning by the artist. As Jenkins himself once commented on this intentionality, “You enter a state of being with the paint, a language unfolds, a dialogue with paint and discovered intention in the time of the execution, not an action or acting out, but a deliberate revealing of the unspoken and the enigmatic.”
Mario Schifano
(Italian, 1934-1998)
“Moonlight”, ca. 1990s
acrylic on computer-prepared PVC signed en verso; “Fondazione Mario Schifano” label en verso, Multistudio Foundation Archive registration No. 90-97/407. Unframed.
27-3/4” x 39-1/2” x 1”
$4,000-$7,000
Provenance: Daliano Ribani Arte, Carrara, Italy.
Often dubbed “Italy’s Andy Warhol”, Mario Schifano was a consummate postmodernist - a painter, musician, and filmmaker whose multifaceted career defies categorization. He embraced the closely intertwined relationship between Pop art and postmodernism. Schifano led a colorful life from an early age: his social circle included Cy Twombly, Frank O’Hara, and JeanLuc Godard, and he had many romantic dalliances, including famously stealing Marianne Faithfull away from Mick Jagger. His debaucherous lifestyle earned him six separate prison sentences. In recent years, Schifano’s vivacious oeuvre and way of life have earned him several retrospectives, including those at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and at the Gallerie d’Italia in Naples.
Born in Libya at the time of Italian colonization, Schifano moved with his family to Rome at a young age. He never attended art school, opting for a self-taught approach, and worked as a ceramics restorer as he began to paint. He rose to fame with his Monocromi series - canvases that consisted of a single color, humming with energy - that he debuted at his first solo exhibition in 1959. In 1963, he declared he was done with monochromes, upsetting gallerists and art dealers throughout Italy, and pivoted sharply towards Pop art.
By this time, Rome had become a glitzy city of conspicuous consumption, and Schifano’s work reflected the wealth of imagery entering Italian culture through ubiquitous advertising. At the height of his fame, Schifano was known to throw lavish parties in his Roman apartment and whip around the ancient city in his Rolls Royce, often with members of the Rolling Stones in tow. Seeking reinvention, he again pivoted in the late 1960s, this time towards abstraction; using unorthodox materials like parcel paper and enamel paint, Schifano anticipated the Arte Povera movement.
Schifano worked intermittently until his death in 1998, embracing elements of gestural abstraction, geometric abstraction, Pop art, Conceptualism, and Arte Povera. His oeuvre defies narrow definitions, but his dedications to play, diversity, destruction of hierarchies, and the individual experience places him squarely as a father of postmodernism. Today, his influence - from his prolific creative output to his indulgent lifestyle - still reverberates throughout the contemporary art world.

Arman, 1968
In 1960, Arman was one of the founding members of the Nice-based Nouveau Realisme along with Yves Klein, the art critic Pierre Restany, and others; the installationist Chriso was to join the following year. Contemporaneous with American Pop art, the group explored the perception of art by toying with and eventually pushing the boundaries of what was then generally accepted. It was around this time that Arman began to experiment with his concept of "Accumulation", a series which would continue in slightly varied forms throughout the rest of his career and consisted of identical or similar items laid out and placed between plexiglass (or later set within resin). The resulting assemblages are both ordered - precise, grid-like placement of each item - or disordereditems are allowed to ìfallî naturally, creating, as one critic suggested, abstraction out of repetition.

39-1/3” x 39-1/3”
$3,000-$5,000
Provenance: HENI Gallery, London, England.
Invader is the pseudonym of a French street artist wellknown for his ceramic tile mosaics. These mosaics, often installed under the cover of darkness in highly visible locations, are a form of guerilla art modeled after the pixelated art of 8-bit video games like “Space Invaders” and “Pac-Man.” Believing that museums and galleries were not properly accessible to the public, Invader chose to bring his work to the street, where ordinary people could encounter it in their daily lives. A graduate of Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Invader still centers much of his work in Paris, but his mosaics have reached the depths of the ocean floor off the coast of Cancun and the heights of the International Space Station.
In 2004, Invader created a series called Rubikcubism, which represents the integration of the artist's multifaceted practice and his interests in toys and games, popular culture, and the deconstruction and reappropriation of images.

She had her first exhibition in her hometown of Munich in 1992. Her paintings have achieved critical acclaim and have been exhibited in Germany, Austria and New York City. Paradise is watching you represents her mature work and depicts two figures peering out and expressing a warning about the consequences of the viewer's behavior.

Romanelli received his earliest training from his father at his family's studio in Borgo San Frediano, Florence, learning the rudiments of drawing and carving. While at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, he was the recipient of the prestigious Annual Prize for Sculpture which essentially launched his career as one of the most sought-after marble sculptors. Excelling at portraiture, particularly difficult when working with the unforgiving hard stone, the young man was commissioned for such notable works as the Portrait of Pope Leo the Great on the facade of the Duomo, the equestrian sculpture in honor of Giuseppe Garibaldi, and the monument in honor of Donatello at the Basilica de San Lorenzo. The fine sculpture offered here, with its delicate treatment of the facial features and the classically inspired composition, reveals Romanelli at his most accomplished.

The years 1973 and 1974 were pivotal times in Ida Kohlmeyer’s artistic career.

It was at this time Kohlmeyer moved away from figurative painting and abstract expressionist brushwork to embrace the colorful grid patterns that she referred to as the Cluster painting series.
The painting Clusters, dated 1974, is an early example of the series where she was still developing her own distinctive vocabulary of hieroglyphs which were comprised of a sequence of X’s, circles, squares and bars within a grid pattern. Ida Kohlmeyer would achieve national acclaim as an artist while remaining in her native Louisiana.

$3,500-$5,000
This sofa is believed to have been part of the furnishings of the Dargan-Waring House located at 351 Government St., Mobile, Alabama. The accompanying black and white photo, which is in the archives of the Smithsonian Institute, shows what is believed to be this sofa on the right. The iconic Gothicstyle center table on the left is currently in the collection of The Detroit Institute of Arts. Cabinet maker Crawford Riddell is credited for the commission of the famous “Henry Clay” suite of bedroom furniture. During the presidential election of 1844, Clay was so convinced that he was going to win the election that he commissioned the firm of Crawford Riddell to make an extensive bedroom suite for the White House. It was to be installed in what is now the Lincoln bedroom. He lost the election to James Polk and consequently the suite of furniture had to find a new home. It was purchased and installed by the owners of Rosedown Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana, where it remained until 2000 when the current owners sold off the suite. The bed ended up in the Dallas Museum of Art, the dressing bureau went to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the armoire was donated to the Louisiana State Museum by M.S. Rau Antiques, and the remaining pieces are believed to be in private collections.

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

All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.”

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.

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.
(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.
(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).
(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.
(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 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] 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 12% 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, 333 St. Joseph 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 antiterrorism 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.
(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;
(x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids;
(xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller
If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both 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. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved.
(i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.
