“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.” – John Burroughs

MARCH
A
s the revelry of Carnival subsides and the sounds of sirens and brass bands fade, New Orleans enters a quieter but equally alluring season. Beads still hanging from branches slowly begin to disappear as the first buds of spring emerge. Light lingers longer into the evening, as the city pauses for a moment before the next celebration. While carnival in New Orleans is certainly a celebration, at its heart it is just as much about tradition — a reverence for the past carried forward through generations. The rituals, pageantry and symbols that fill the streets each year are rooted in stories passed down over time, connecting the present to the people and moments that came before. Our March 28–29 Estates Auction, the first major sale of the year, reflects that same sense of continuity. The estates and collections presented here are deeply rooted in the lives of the individuals who assembled them — objects gathered over decades that carry with them the stories, traditions and passions of those who lived among them. We are honored to offer The Deborah and Eli Tullis Collection, which reflects the enduring traditions that shaped their lives in New Orleans — paintings, furniture and porcelain collected over decades and connected to generations of family history, including a chalkboard from the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, a mantle and proclamation of Rex: King of Carnival, awarded to Garner H. Tullis in 1935, to fine English furniture and sterling silver. The Estate of Timothy Scott Shafer reveals the vibrant spirit of a collector who delighted in living with the art he loved most. Among the highlights are two grand portraits that held a special place in his home, works he named and spoke to as though they were old companions (Lots 673 and 701). A longtime client and friend of the gallery, Tim loved diving into the history and provenance of the items he collected.
The lifetime collection of Clarence George “C.G.” Ochsner offers a glimpse into the eye of a talented interior designer whose path took him from Minnesota to Southern California, where he built a successful career and rubbed shoulders with Hollywood stars. One particularly fascinating piece from his collection is a Screen Actors Guild autographed silverplate presentation box dedicated to actor Kenneth Thomson, who helped found the Guild with his wife Alden Gay, a close friend of Ochsner’s. Finally, property from the Estate of Marie Bel Fay Evnochides reflects a life devoted to learning and creativity. Through her work as an educator and founder of The Fay School in Houston, Marie helped shape generations of students and left a lasting imprint on her community. The objects from her home reflect the same thoughtful curiosity and sense of purpose that defined her life. Her collection includes pieces passed down from her parents, as well as objects she acquired in her own travels and while decorating her home on Willowick Road in Houston. We invite you to explore these stories in the pages that follow. The auction's two-week exhibition begins Monday, March 16, and continues Monday-Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We also invite you to join us for an Evening Preview Reception on Thursday, March 26, from 5 to 7 p.m. Whether visiting the gallery or participating online, we encourage you to reach out with any questions. From obtaining a shipping quote ahead of the auction to discussing an item with one of our specialists, we are always happy to help. See you at the auction!

It was a place that was inseparable from the people and memories it held, and one that would later serve as the foundation for the school Marie founded. While Marie’s interests were wide-ranging, her true passion was education, especially early childhood education. She began her teaching career at The Oaks School, and her devotion to children soon caught the attention of John Cooper, who called on her to establish and teach a pioneering program for threeyear-old children at Kinkaid. This initiative led to her appointment as Director of the Pre-School. Over her 25-year faculty tenure at The Kinkaid School, she became a steady, formative presence in the lives of young students and their families.

Marie taught in the classroom and helped shape the school’s philosophy, bringing her own distinct presence to generations of students. Even after retiring from day-to-day leadership, Marie remained dedicated to the institution as a member of the Board of Trustees until her death in 2025. Marie’s home on Willowick Road in River Oaks was designed by architect Preston Bolton, a protégé of John Staub. Stanley Sadler, a prominent Houston interior designer for the “old guard,” advised and assisted her as she worked on the home’s interior design. Marie’s diverse collection of unique and interesting pieces included modern art, pottery, porcelain, fine carpets and English furniture, all reflecting her sophisticated taste and wide-ranging interests.

After 44 years dedicated to the education and care of young children, Marie extended her lifelong advocacy for excellence in teaching by founding the Marie Bel Fay Fund, which annually recognizes outstanding private school teachers with a cash award. A generous philanthropist, she supported numerous charities and served on multiple boards, including the Yellowstone Academy, The Kinkaid School and various family organizations, continuing a tradition of civic leadership long embodied by her family. She also served on the board of the C.G. Jung Educational Center, founded by her mother in 1958.

A LEGACY of LOVE
T
imothy Scott Shafer lived his life with an abundance of love–for family, friends, art, travels, collecting, parties, dining, history and
community. Gregarious, generous and galvanizing, he made a meaningful and lasting impact on his loved ones and on his community. A longtime friend of New Orleans Auction, Tim was also an avid collector, amassing items rich in both history and character. Much like in his personal and professional life, Tim committed wholeheartedly to the things he treasured most. One of five children, Tim was born in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. His mother, Nancy, was the rock of the family, providing Tim and his siblings with a modest but enriching upbringing that inspired his professional pursuits. As a teenager, Tim would tell his mother about the houses he wanted to buy, not yet knowing the potential of his aspirations and the professional success to come.
“It’s hard to describe Tim in a few words. He was caring, giving, intelligent… We were very lucky to have had his love.” – Tom Wheeler After graduating from Mt. Vernon High School, Tim attended Bowling Green University, graduating with honors and a degree in Finance. He began his career in Columbus, rising through the ranks at Bank One and becoming one of the country’s top banking executives in his field until his retirement in 2015 at 54 years old. Not one to stand still for too long, Tim established a business partnership with Carriage Trade Realty in Columbus, where he held a second career until his death in June 2025. Columbus became Tim’s city, and he generously invested in his community, helping rebuild the city’s storied Old Town East neighborhood. He owned seven houses in this area, choosing the largest of the properties as his home. “The bigger, the better,” he’d say. “More wall space for more paintings!” LOT 701
collections “He was always genuinely concerned about others. He wanted everyone to feel welcome and have a good time. He loved making other people happy.” – Tom Wheeler Tim felt most at home surrounded by his loved ones, which included his late mother and sister; four brothers; 17 nieces and nephews; 10 great-nieces and nephews; Tom Wheeler, his friend of more than four decades; and Jorge Perales, the love of his life and husband of 26 years. Personable and outgoing, Tim never met a stranger, and he relished the opportunity to entertain. A lively and engaging host, he was well known for his gatherings and yearly neighborhood Halloween party. He enjoyed pulling out all of the stops for a memorable feast, often dragging Tom and Jorge along with him. On Easter 2025, the last holiday he spent with family, Tim joyfully played armchair host, providing detailed instructions to Tom and Jorge. Tim’s home, too, reflected his effervescence with a “more is more” approach. He unapologetically surrounded himself with items that brought him LOT 673
joy (though from time to time, he did sometimes try to hide deliveries from Jorge). Having grown up with little and gone on to achieve financial success, he enthusiastically welcomed the opportunity to purchase what he wanted.
“Tim cherished being with his family. When it came to his nieces and nephews, no one made them laugh harder. He taught them about life, about how to be a good human being. He was always there to mentor and support them. He inspired them immensely.” – Jorge Perales
LOT 653
Tim enjoyed visiting historic mansions, shopping at auction houses and diving into the history and provenance of items that most spoke to him. On a business trip to Montreal, where he spent his downtime exploring antique shops, he acquired a junior sleigh bed, which cost him more to ship home than to buy–but he just had to have it! LOT 654
He was especially fond of the Baroque and Victorian eras of art and preferred portraits over landscapes. “Tim believed the larger the painting, the better,” Jorge shares. “That’s why he needed all of that wall space!” Two portraits in particular were among his favorite possessions, naming them and speaking with them as though they were as much part of his family as of the walls of his home. New Orleans Auction is honored to offer both of these exceptional portraits in this sale;
a Circle
of Sir Peter Lely “Portrait of a Lady with King Charles Spaniel” (Lot 673) and an English School “Portrait of Mary of Modena, Queen Consort of England, Scotland and Ireland” (Lot 701), alongside an extensive selection of furniture, lighting and decorative arts. Tim lived a full life, accomplishing more than he ever even dreamed up for himself, and getting to enjoy the life he built alongside family, friends and his beloved Jorge. Even amid his valiant battle with cancer, he maintained a positive and steadfast outlook. He leaves behind a legacy of generosity, professionalism and immeasurable love.
“Tim wanted to live with the objects he collected. He believed art and antique furniture were meant to be lived with, and that’s what he did. He was in love with these paintings.” – Jorge Perales

OCHSNER Still Life Photography / Christa Ougel
C C
larence George “C.G.” Ochsner, Jr., was raised in Wabasha, Minnesota, the son of Dr. Clarence George “Oxy” Ochsner, a physician who helped establish the Wabasha Community Clinic, and Anita J. (Bouquet) Ochsner, a University of Minnesota graduate, devoted mother and active member of her community.
One of 10 children — eight boys and two girls — Ochsner grew up in a lively household. While his older brothers pursued athletics — football, basketball and baseball — he remained closer to home and shared many interests with his mother, including art and gardening. From an early age, he showed an innate eye for art and design, and an interest in how people and objects relate to one another within a space. When his father suffered his first heart attack at age 47, he realized he would eventually need to slow down. He continued his medical practice in Wabasha for several more years before moving the family in 1961 to St. Paul, Minnesota, where he worked as a physician at the Veterans Administration. C.G. began his college studies at the University of Minnesota before convincing his father that he should complete his education at Woodbury College in Los Angeles, a school known for its programs in business and design. His parents soon followed, establishing themselves in Santa Barbara. While attending Woodbury College, C.G. lived with a wealthy family in Los Angeles, assisting in the care and management of their home in exchange for his room and board. This early experience immersed him in a world of elegance and refinement. LOT 262

LOT 278
In Los Angeles, he began his professional career at Cannell & Chaffin, one of Southern California’s most established interior design firms at the time. Founded in 1917 by S. Bartley Cannell and George Chaffin, the firm evolved from a rare book and antiques business into a prominent design firm combining interior design services with the sale of furnishings, antiques and decorative objects. By the mid-20th century, Cannell & Chaffin operated multiple showrooms and employed a large staff of professional designers. Cannell & Chaffin served an elite clientele that included Hollywood stars, socialites and prominent business leaders. During his time at the firm, C.G. interacted with figures such as Lucille Ball, Jack Benny and Suzanne Pleshette. A 1976 advertisement from the firm featured a photograph of C.G. and identified him as one of its “40 outstanding interior designers,” reflecting his role within the firm’s growing design staff. C.G. was also a member of the American Society of Interior Designers, a professional affiliation that underscored both his expertise and his commitment to the field. Over time, he gained the confidence and clientele to establish his own independent interior design practice in Southern California, a milestone that brought him both professional satisfaction and personal pride. Among the people C.G. became close with during these years was Alden Gay, an actress and founding member of the Screen Actors Guild. Gay and her husband, actor Kenneth Thomson, hosted the March 1933 meeting in their Hollywood home, which led to the formation of the guild. C.G.’s collection includes a Screen Actors Guild autographed silverplate presentation box, given to Thomson in 1943 and engraved with the signatures of ninetythree guild members (Lot 278). Over the course of his career, C.G. worked for a remarkable roster of clients. Among them were Walter and Carol Probst, for whom C.G. designed an extraordinary mountain residence near Lake Arrowhead — the most expensive home he ever completed.
LOT 225
Walter Probst served as president of Essex International during LOT 271
the company’s landmark 1974 acquisition by United Technologies. Other clients included Marilyn Tennity, daughter of George D. Smith, former CEO and chairman of United Parcel Service; and Verle Pozzo, whose husband, George D. Casey, was among the founders of the company. C.G. also worked with Joan Irvine Smith of the Irvine real estate family, whose philanthropy helped establish University of California, Irvine, as well as entrepreneur Mark Hughes, founder of Herbalife, for whom he worked on a custom-built yacht. He also designed a residence along the famed 17-Mile Drive near Carmel for Judy Carlsberg, whose real estate company was among the largest publicly held developers in Los Angeles during the 1980s. C.G.'s discerning eye also extended to real estate. He lived in several homes during his time in Southern California, including one on Highland Avenue in Hancock Park, a historic and highly sought-after neighborhood in Los Angeles known for its grand homes and tree-lined streets. He later purchased a home in Montecito, the idyllic coastal community near Santa Barbara, which became his favorite residence and a source of some of his best memories. The property included several buildings and served as a both home and gallery, providing a perfect backdrop for the collection of paintings, objects and furniture he had collected over the years. Like his mother, Ochsner enjoyed gardening and took particular pride in the roses and blue hydrangeas that flourished on the grounds. Much like his professional work, collecting became both a passion and a way of connecting with people. C.G. loved cars and often discovered treasures in small shops and unexpected places along the way. He traveled frequently for clients, often driving long distances or flying on their private planes. New Orleans Auction is pleased to present the lifetime collection of Clarence George “C.G.” Ochsner, Jr., which showcases his wide-ranging interests and brings together European furniture, Asian arts, paintings and decorative objects that reflect his sophisticated taste.

The DEBORAH & ELI TULLISCollection
LOT 20
I
t is said that behind every great man is a great woman, and in the case of Deborah and Eli Tullis, the adage most certainly held true. Both brilliant and community-minded, the couple of 48 years regularly lent their time and talents to their beloved New Orleans, leaving behind a long-lasting legacy of generosity.
Described by her daughters, Ashbrooke Tullis and Rachael Gambel, as a “Southern feminist who was ahead of her time,” Deborah Beaird Tullis, a native of Shreveport, earned her degree in Economics from Smith College before relocating to New Orleans for a job with the Shell Oil Company. As a computer programmer, she became one of the first women at Shell to have a secretary. At this time, Eli W. Tullis, 13 years her senior and a lifelong New Orleanian, was a broker at Tullis Craig and Company, his father’s cotton trading company, having graduated from the University of Virginia. An established presence on the floor of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, which closed in 1964, he continued trading cotton on the New York Cotton Exchange for nearly two decades before transitioning to the New York Mercantile Exchange. Deborah and Eli seemed destined to meet. Eli first called Deborah after being given her number by his niece and her friend, Deborah’s younger sister. While that call did not result in a date, they finally met in 1965 when Eli visited Shell’s offices for a meeting. Needless to say, Eli was enchanted, and Deborah was willing to take a chance on him. The rest, as they say, is history.

A House Becomes a Home
D
eborah and Eli married in 1966 in Shreveport and were committed to building their life together in The Crescent City. The first
house they purchased became their forever home. The couple brought their daughters home to the yellow house on Chestnut Street, bringing together a blended family that included Eli’s four children from his first marriage. The house was also home to countless dogs, a cat or two, fish and gerbils to boot. In fact, one of the family’s treasured dogs, Cobi, is depicted in a Newton Howard painting sold last month in New Orleans Auction’s Americana and Sporting Collectibles Auction. The couple built a home centered on family and good company. Their frequent gatherings reflected the warmth, thoughtfulness and generosity for which they were known–as well as their penchant for good food and music, and their love of dancing. Their home reflected their shared passion for art, furniture and travel. They were particularly fond of Italy, having honeymooned in Florence. Deborah was privileged to travel extensively with her family, taking a year off from college to travel across Europe and Asia with her parents and five siblings. Deborah’s wanderlust was typically centered on culinary experiences, architecture and art museums. Eli enjoyed places where he could golf or hunt. They particularly loved The Frick Collection in New York and traveling to London.

“This collection is a reflection of the home my parents built together. It’s made up of pieces they truly loved.” – Ashbrooke Tullis Over the years, Deborah and Eli collected works of art, furnishings and decorative objects from around the world. Not ones to follow trends, they appreciated good craftsmanship, gravitating towards beautiful things made well. They both loved antique furniture in particular, with Eli possessing a special love of English furniture. With a more eclectic taste, Deborah enjoyed unique works of art and miniatures. Among the couple’s favorite artists was New Orleans-based landscape artist Newton Howard, a dear friend. With an appreciation for artistry and history, Deborah and Eli immersed themselves in learning about the objects they loved. Both could expertly take apart a piece of furniture and point to the markings that distinguished fine pieces of furniture from simply good ones. Deborah and Eli loved their home–their collection a reflection of the life they built together. They were meticulous about the items they enjoyed, spending decades searching for just the right piece to bring home. Notably, they enjoyed decorating together, too. From his office at One Shell Square (now Hancock Whitney Center) to his home office, which he boldly painted Chinese red, Deborah and Eli enthusiastically collaborated on several projects. Their yellow living room hosted many gatherings, and Deborah’s garden was featured in several publications.

A Legacy of Generosity
K
nown for their unwavering loyalty and generosity, Deborah and Eli were steadfast in their support of organizations in New
Orleans and beyond, dedicating their gifts of both “time and treasure” to causes close to their hearts. They were champions of education, having both benefited from dedicated teachers in their youth. They believed that investing in education was the most effective way to impact the world. It was that conviction that led them to become founding benefactors of the Jefferson Scholars Program at the University of Virginia, Eli’s alma mater, where he and Deborah endowed two scholarships. Closer to home, Deborah was a committed volunteer at Metairie Park Country Day School and served on the Board of Trustees for the Louise S. McGehee School.
“I was taught that if you have time and treasure, you give both or one or the other. You give back to your community, whatever and wherever that community is.” – Ashbrooke Tullis
LOT 136
The couple was also deeply committed to supporting Tulane and Ochsner Medical Centers. Having grown up as a Type 1 diabetic at a time when the chronic illness was not commonly spoken about or understood, Deborah was an ardent supporter of medical advances and clinical trials in that space. She also served on the Board of Directors of the American Diabetes Association, which she proudly represented on a TODAY Show segment in the 1970s. Deborah also volunteered her time to the local initiatives that would help grow and advance the City of New Orleans. She served as president of the Louisiana Nature and Science Center (now part of the Audubon Nature Institute) and was an active member of The Garden Study Club and the Junior League of New Orleans, for whose benefit she often hosted dinners and parties. She was also a docent for the New Orleans Museum of Art’s Treasures of Tutankhamun in the late 1970s. Together, the couple regularly hosted dinners and parties benefiting these organizations, including the University of Virginia. Following

In 1988, his daughter Ashbrooke was named Queen of Carnival, 50 years after the crowning of Eli’s late sister, Malcolm McCullough Tullis.
“Dad talked about being a page in Rex– the wall-to-wall people pressed up to the mule-drawn floats.

20 Attributed to Charles Giroux (French/Louisiana, 1828-1885, act. LA 1868-1885) “Coterie d’Alligators, Bayou Teche”, ca. 1883 oil on canvas unsigned, with a “F.W. Devoe & Co.” canvas stamp en verso. Framed. 20” x 30”, framed 25-1/4” x 35-1/2” $12,000-$18,000 Provenance: The Collection of Deborah & Eli Tullis, New Orleans, Louisiana.
The setting of the marshy wetlands and Spanish mossdraped cypress trees in the painting Coterie d’Alligators, Bayou Teche reflects the French-born artist Charles Giroux’s interest in the unique southern Louisiana landscape. Arriving in New Orleans after the Civil War, Giroux became a part of the local community of artists by joining the Southern Art Union and Artists’ Association of New Orleans and exhibiting at S.T. Blessing’s and Theodore Lilienthal’s galleries. The pristine Bayou Teche of the late 19th century bustled with wildlife, including snakes, alligators, turtles, herons, and egrets, while its waters teemed with crawfish, bass, and catfish. On the left in the present lot, an adult alligator basking in the sunlight on the shore is accompanied by a large gang of alligators, with only their eyes and snouts breaching the surface of the water. Although little is known about Charles Giroux, it is evident that he spent time at Bayou Teche where he painted many scenes of life in the isolated wetland countryside.

Garner competed in the next two annual events, coming in third in 1931 but winning both overall and in his class in 1932, for which the present lot was awarded. Tullis won a third time in 1948 with the Windjammer II (66’, built 1947 by the Burger Boat Company), and sailed in the final Regatta in 1959. He died aboard the Windjammer II off the coast of Apalachicola, Florida while sailing to St. Petersburg on February 18, 1966. See also lots 133 & 135.

278 Screen Actors Guild Autographed Silverplate Presentation Box dated 1943, rectangular with cedar-lined interior, the lid engraved with 93 autographs of Guild members, the rectangular handle with engraved presentation inscription: “Kenneth Thomson / Card No. 17 / 1933-1943 / With Appreciation / Screen Actors Guild”. h. 3-1/4”, w. 12-1/2”, d. 11” $1,200-$1,800 Provenance: The Collection of Clarence G. Ochsner, Wabasha, Minnesota. Detailed list of signatories available on request. The Screen Actors Guild was formed in the living room of actors Kenneth Thomson (1899-1967) and his wife Alden Gay (1899-1979) during a March 1933 meeting with four others actors. Articles of incorporation were filed in June of that year, and on July 10, a group application was filed by seventeen charter members, including Thomson, who was given the final card number of the group – #17 – and elected its first secretary. Thomson was the only SAG founder who was also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, a “yellow” union founded by Louis B. Mayer and under the control of the Association of Motion Picture Producers. Drastic salary cuts authorized by these organizations in response to Roosevelt’s “bank holiday” order prompted the founding of SAG. Further New Deal legislation under
104
the umbrella of Roosevelt’s NRA (namely the Motion Picture Code of Fair Competition which, despite its name, placed significant control of labor disputes in the hands of producers and distributors) prompted an exodus of AMPAS members to the new SAG. This influx included some major stars: Robert Montgomery, Fredric March, James Cagney, Ann Harding, Groucho Marx, and Eddie Cantor (who became SAG’s second president), which empowered the fledgling union. Kenneth Thomson continued to serve as union executive secretary during WWII (and also as chair of the Hollywood Victory Committee), finally resigning the post in late 1943. It was doubtless on this occasion–and the union’s tenth anniversary–that he was presented this lot. The 93 transferengraved signatures of SAG members here include founders (Leon Waycoff, Lucile Webster Gleason, Charles Starrett, C. Aubrey Smith, Bradley Page, Richard W. Tucker, Willard Robertson, Ivan F. Simpson), former union presidents (Eddie Cantor, Robert Montgomery, Edward Arnold, James Cagney), luminaries (Edward G.

“In still life I became obsessed by the shape or color of an object - a shell, flower, stone. They are simple, elemental - but very complex. The way in which one object relates to another becomes a drama. I paint the air that goes around it - the mystery, color. Anything can be interesting if you like it and study it. It’s a very personal thing.” Henriette Wyeth The Artifice of Blue Light, 1994

Marco to which I now had access... a haven into which I could enter. The basilica loomed larger and began to dominate.” William Congdon congdonfoundation.com William Congdon's deeply personal series of Venetian paintings of San Marco–of which the work offered here is number 7–are stunning examples of the artist's idiosyncratic sculptural approach to painting. Eschewing the use of brushes, he employed various tools to form, shape, mold and scrape the paint to conform to his vision, resulting in highly textured, nearly topographical surfaces.

They were made to accompany a center bowl with brass flower screen, also by W. G. Arnold, completed on December 29, 1929 as a commission for H.W. Sackett. This was almost certainly Col.

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 in 1842 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. The present table is part of an elite group of American Gothic Revival furniture, the most notable of which is a table that was purchased for the Davis-designed Gothic villa Belmead, in Powhatan County, Virginia, about 1845. That table sold in these galleries in 2000 for a record $233,500.00, and is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Other examples of this form are in the collections of the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia (The Virginia Carroll Crawford Collection), The Detroit Institute of Arts, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Literature: 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.

$6,000-$9,000 Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, Russian Works of Art, [ June 20, 1984, sale 5203, lot 131 (the original invoice accompanying the lot).] The patriarch Ivan Ivanovich Khruschev left his native Poland for the Muscovite state in 7001 (1493) to serve Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich of All Russia and was ennobled in that year. The family estates were in Tula, and another grant was received in 7130 (1622). Russian nobility registers show at least 45 tenth-generation descendants born in the mid-19th century, so accurately tracing which member of the Khruschov family owned this handsome set is unlikely. (It is to be noted that the most famous bearer of this name - Premier Nikita Khruschev - was not a member of the noble family, born of peasant stock in Kalinovka, Kursk, very near the Ukraine border).

The series was initially inspired by a visit to float designer Blaine Kern’s den. The Times-Picayune’s art critic Roger Green placed this series in art historical perspective: “[Rockmore] continues an important tradition in the history of modern art ñ the depiction of circuses and other forms of live, popular entertainment from behind the scenes. Rockmore’s new paintings do not portray human performers backstage. Instead, his works depict the crowded interiors of Mardi Gras ‘dens’ - storehouses for the colossal figures and objects, called props, that are used to decorate the Carnival floats.”

Unframed. 18” x 24” $4,000-$7,000 Born in Fayette, Missouri, Roger Medearis grew up among the rolling hills and lush beauty of the Midwestern landscape. At eighteen years old, he enrolled at the Kansas City Art Institute where he studied with Thomas Hart Benton, who was, at the time, at the forefront of the Regionalist art movement. For Medearis, this allowed him to paint what he knew: farmlands of Missouri, local flora and fauna of the Midwest, and meditations on the natural world. However, as World War II ended, so too did the heyday of Regionalist fine art, and Medearis quit painting to join the corporate world. As Abstract Expressionism came to dominate the market, Medearis became a leading salesman for Container Corp. of America.

Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place.

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.

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.

Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement.

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. 01/04/17
(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 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. Rev. 01/04/17
(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.
5.Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for NOAG relating to a Lot including without limitation the contents of the Catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of NOAG and shall not be used by the Buyer or Bidder, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. NOAG and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.
6. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7. Data Collection In connection with the operation of our auction business, NOAG may need to seek personal information from Bidders or obtain information about Bidders from third parties (e.g., credit checks from banks). Such information will be processed and kept by us in confidence. Some of Bidders’ personal data may also need to be shared with third party service providers (e.g., shipping or storage companies) for Bidders’ benefit. By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.
8. Law and Jurisdiction The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the Auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Louisiana. By bidding at the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
