March 25-26, 2023

Welcome to

MARCH

In a world of constant reinvention and reimagination, finding new inspiration can be challenging. That’s why coming across something that feels fresh, original or clever – be it on Instagram or within the pages of a magazine – can set me on a path of discovery and creativity.

When I’m craving a reinvigorating perspective, a visit to New York always delivers. With its limitless well of the latest and greatest in fashion, design and art, it is one of my favorite cities for inspiration. From museum exhibits and gallery shows to exquisite dining and theater productions (and lots of shopping, of course), the experiences New York provides refresh my senses.

On a recent visit, just after the holidays, I made my way to see Bergdorf’s iconic window displays on Fifth Avenue. These stunning works of art take 10 months of design and production and more than two weeks to install, relying on a team of more than 100 people. In a matter of weeks, the windows are stripped back down to blank canvases and prepared for the next season. Already, ideas are budding, and soon, new and extraordinary displays will bloom again.

Similarly, at an auction house, each sale presents an equally riveting opportunity for transformation. As our team curates a unique assortment of items from various collections and finds new and unexpected ways to present them a sense of renewed excitement abounds.

It seems fitting that as spring begins its ethereal budding, inspiration is blossoming at NOAG. For our March Estates Auction, we drew inspiration from the simplicity, romance and beauty of nature. This sale, which includes nearly 800 lots, brings together an elegant selection of jewelry, antique furniture, fine art, decorative objects and more. We’ve styled and photographed many of these against the rich historical features and dreamy blank canvas of Solari Orleans, a Victorian mansion on St. Charles Avenue, designed by Thomas Sully.

Much like natural elements, over time, find their way around the exterior of a storied manor, peer through cracks in the floorboards or seep through open spaces, so too does a new season reinvigorate our senses and beckons us to break through with new perspective.

We hope you will be inspired by the stories behind the estates and collections featured in this sale, including the estates of two remarkable women: Norma Crawford

Myers of Dallas and the Estate of Mahin Forrest of Houston. We are also honored to offer works by some of Louisiana’s most celebrated artists, in addition to antiques and decorative objects from The Estate of Dr. Joseph Elmo “Sonny” Dugas, Jr. and Mrs. Betty Jean Ford Dugas of New Orleans. The sale also features historic and contemporary Southern art from the collection of Jean Bragg Gallery. I invite you to read more about these estates and collections in the following pages, including a special section highlighting Louisiana fine art offered in this sale.

Our March Estates Auction takes place March 25-26, beginning at 10 a.m. each day. Exhibition opens Monday, March 13, and continues through Friday, March 24. The gallery is open Monday-Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

I encourage you to join us at our gallery for in-person bidding, but you can also bid from the comfort of your own home by telephone or live online with LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. You may also submit absentee bids in advance of the sale. As always, we stand ready to assist you. Whether it’s a request for a condition report, additional photos or guidance on how to bid, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Much like this time of year invites a sense of rebirth, so too do I hope the following pages inspire you to reimagine and reinvigorate your interiors.

See you at the auction,

MYERS Building Beauty

The Estate of Norma Crawford Myers

Dallas, Texas

To say Norma Crawford Myers had it all would be an understatement. Intelligent, loyal, ambitious, beautiful, generous and impeccable in her taste, Norma was a consummate friend, mother and wife, and a savvy and successful businesswoman.

Growing up in East Texas, Norma was determined to make something of herself, cultivating her entrepreneurial spirit to create the life of her dreams –ultimately embarking on a real estate career that, in addition to tremendous lifelong success, would also bring her a lifetime of love.

estate. They blended their families, lovingly raising their eight children (and, eventually, fourteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren), while ardently building their real estate development and investment business.

“Norma was flawlessly hands-on. From exquisite furniture to hundreds of pieces of art, each property was beautifully appointed - an impeccable reflection of Norma’s eye for the details. No space was too small or insignificant for that special touch, and it was that approach that set the Myers’ developments apart and ensured their tremendous success."

After attending Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Norma took a job with Trammel Crow, now one of the nation’s oldest and most prolific developers of and investors in commercial real estate. It was in this role that Norma met real estate developer and World War II veteran, Marvin Myers, to whom she was selling a property. It was, as they both described it, love at first sight.

– SHERRI ZUCKER

Together, Norma and Marvin developed 3525 Sage in Houston’s Galleria area. While in Houston, Norma also started Ultra Magazine , one of Houston’s first luxury publications.

Norma and Marvin also developed “Rienzi,” a midrise in the Turtle Creek area of Dallas, and 17 multi - family properties in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Mexico and Texas. Among their proudest business accomplishments was Conservatory Senior Living, which grew to include five luxury senior living communities across Texas.

Over the course of their 33-year marriage, Norma and Marvin shared a love for family, community, travel and real

It was in these developments that Norma’s passion, business acumen and creativity for interiors shone brightest, diving deeply into every design detail. That extra, personal touch was Norma’s secret weapon and one of her most beloved qualities, according to close friend and frequent collaborator, Sherri Zucker of Brittany Blake Interiors.

In Dallas, Norma and Marvin built their dream home at 4245 Armstrong Parkway, decorating it with antiques acquired throughout Europe, including fireplaces and a custom staircase built from parts that Norma discovered in France. The French chateau-style manse, recognized by Dallas Magazine as one of the city’s most beautiful homes, was designed by renowned architect Cole Smith and continues to be a highly-coveted property. Described by friends as a phenomenal cook, Norma delighted in hosting and entertaining at her home.

The devoted couple was as committed to their love and business partnership as they were to their communities, championing cultural and medical institutions and generously lending their time and talents to causes close to their hearts. In 1987, Norma founded the Winter Ball in Houston, which has raised millions for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America and grown to be one of the city’s most important charity events. The inaugural event, a fabulous three-day extravaganza, included a cocktail party at her home and culminated with a grand black-tie ball. The festivities, thanks to Norma’s determination and vision, were a star-studded affair attended by the likes of Robert Duvall, Patrick Swayze, Jon Voight, Alan Feinstein and Rich Little. She also spearheaded the Signature Chefs March of Dimes Gala and the Crystal Ball for the Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine, which continue to be major social and fundraising events.

Norma’s keen eye for design didn’t end with her business ventures, however. She was as serious about style as she was about business. From fashion and jewelry to antiques and travel experiences, Norma was known as a tastemaker.

Following Marvin’s cancer diagnosis, Norma remained steadfast as both his wife and business partner. While in treatment, Marvin continued to draft up plans and projects on hospital napkins with Norma by his side.

Following his death in 2011, Norma sold Conservatory Senior Living to an investment company. Ever the savvy businesswoman, she re-invested in those very properties.

Norma passed away last year, leaving behind a life beautifully lived and a legacy of immense generosity. NOAG is honored to present the Estate of Norma Crawford Myers, which includes fine art, antiques furniture, decorative objects and more from her iconic Armstrong Parkway home.

DUGAS New Orleans Ever After

The Estate of Dr. Joseph Elmo “Sonny” Dugas, Jr. and Mrs. Betty Jean Ford Dugas

Love flourished and prospered for Dr. Joseph Elmo “Sonny” Dugas, Jr. and his wife, Betty Jean Ford Dugas, who met as teenagers and were married in 1950 in Beaumont, Texas. They went on to be together for nearly seven decades.

A Franklin, Louisiana native, Dr. Dugas earned his medical degree from Louisiana State University ( LSU ) . Mrs. Dugas, a San Augustine, Texas native, began her career as a switchboard operator, paving the way for her husband's continued studies. In the late 1950s, the couple moved to New Orleans, where Dr. Dugas completed an internship at Mercy Hospital, while simultaneously serving as a Captain in the Army National Guard, and Mrs. Dugas furthered her career by working for Traveler’s Insurance Company. It was also during this time that the Dugas family welcomed their only son, Joseph Elmo “Buddy” Dugas, III.

After completing his residency as Chief Resident of General and Thoracic Surgery at the New Orleans VA Medical Center, Dr. Dugas opened his private practice, where Mrs. Dugas, ever the supportive and dedicated spouse, served as the office manager. Mrs. Dugas' support and talent would prove invaluable to Dr. Dugas, whose admirable intellect and diverse passions and talents led him to become a fellow of The American College of Surgeons, attend Loyola Law School at night, become president of the local rotary club, and train for his pilot’s license on the weekends – all while running his own medical practice during his illustrious 40year career. Dr. Dugas went on to become Chief of Staff at East Jefferson General Hospital ( EJGH ) before retiring from medicine in 1997.

During their 68 - year marriage and the many decades they spent in New Orleans, Dr. and Mrs. Dugas remained active in their New Orleans community. A talented and avid painter, Mrs. Dugas was a member of The New Orleans Art Association, for which she served as President from 19801981. Dr. and Mrs. Dugas attended St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church as parishioners together. They served on various committees, boards and task forces, but their proudest titles came in the form of wife and husband, "Mamaw" and “Papaw,” cherishing time spent with one another and with their three granddaughters.

An admirer of rose gardens, landscapes and antiques, Mrs. Dugas curated a home that reflected the couple’s love for Southern Louisiana, filled with some of the region’s most celebrated artists, including Clementine Hunter, Alexander Drysdale and Clarence Millet. One of the most beloved works in their collection was a stunning bayou scene by William Henry Buck.

Dr. Dugas passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones at the age of 90 in 2021, having been preceded in death in 2019 by the love of his life and their beloved son.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer The Estate of Dr. Joseph Elmo “Sonny” Dugas, Jr. and Mrs. Betty Jean Ford Dugas, which in addition to an impressive selection of regional fine art, includes jewelry, silver and decorative objects.

Chez Mahin

FORREST

The Estate of Mahin Forrest Houston,

Texas

A native of Tehran, Iran, Mahin spent her formative years in England, where she attended boarding school before eventually enrolling in law school and attending the University of Liège in Belgium. When her father passed away, Mahin chose to leave her studies behind to spend time with her beloved family. It was during this time that, unbeknownst to Mahin, her life would be forever changed in the most beautiful of ways.

Aboard that flight from Liège to Tehran, Mahin met Gabriel Forrest. The young Hungarian, who escaped communist Hungary at just 15 years old, was living in Houston, where he had built a life for himself working in oil and gas production. Gabriel left the oil fields for a position at Texas-based Dresser Industries, a job for which he regularly traveled to Tehran. The rest, as serendipity would have it, became their love story.

In 1976, Mahin joined Gabriel in Houston. Within a year, they were married and welcomed their only son, Alexander. For a brief time, Mahin considered enrolling in law school in the United States but opted instead to help support her husband’s emerging business. In the late 1980s, Gabriel began developing additives used in oil and gas drilling, ultimately patenting a fluid sealing agent. Through the 1990s and early 2000s, this venture proved to be extremely successful for the Forrests.

With business booming, the Forrests were able to build and furnish a stunning home on idyllic Inverness Drive in the heart of River Oaks. Mahin was adamant about creating a French-inspired home, and no detail was too small for her involvement. Working hand-in-hand with architect Peter Brown, Mahin ultimately brought to life her vision –one that reflected her, authentically and unapologetically.

Mahin’s steadfast commitment to her family and to her community never wavered. Above all, she was a loving mother, imparting Alex with her generosity, strength, kindness and quiet, yet profound, wisdom.

Mahin was deeply involved with Houston’s vibrant Iranian community, lending her time and talents to numerous Iranian-American charities and causes. She was an active supporter of the Iranian American Women Foundation ( IAWF ) and was an early contributor to the Holocaust Museum Houston.

Within her Houston home, Mahin curated a space that celebrated her favorite things and reflected her impeccable taste. She acquired pieces from auctions, antique shops, galleries and local estate sales. Surrounded by interesting, beautiful things that made her truly happy, Mahin delighted in the comfort and privacy of her treasured home.

Fluent in French from a young age and a lover of French culture, food and style, Mahin thoughtfully collected French furniture, art and decorative objects, whose history and distinct stories she so admired. She even insisted that her son, Alex, spend several months each summer in France to immerse himself in the culture and language.

Additionally, Mahin’s philanthropic contributions to the medical community stemmed from her own experiences with various gastrointestinal issues, including colitis. She proudly supported the Methodist Hospital Society and the Gastroenterology Center of Excellence at Memorial Hermann (now the Ertan Digestive Disease Center, an homage to Dr. Atilla Ertan, the gastroenterologist who properly diagnosed Mahin)

Mahin passed away in late 2022, following a battle with pancreatic cancer. In her eulogy, her son, Alexander, described his mother as “gentle sophistication, layered with empathy, and a splash of true grit.”

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer fine French furniture, paintings, fine silk carpets, decorative objects and more from The Estate of Mahin Forrest.

“Gentle sophistication, layered with empathy, and a splash of true grit.”

BRAGG A Pillar of Southern Art in New Orleans

Fine Art From the Collection of Jean Bragg Gallery

The flourishing and thriving interest in regional art that we know today owes a great deal to the indomitable spirit of Jean Bragg. The exhibitions of southern art held at her Jean Bragg Gallery connected the public to the artistic significance of the regional school by advocating for both emerging and established artists and by celebrating the distinct and vibrant local culture of New Orleans and Louisiana.

A champion of regional art, Jean opened her first art and antique shop in New Orleans in 1979, specializing in Newcomb College Pottery and historic Louisiana paintings. By the early 1990s, her Magazine Street gallery was one of the driving forces behind the stunning revitalization of the now iconic street. After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Jean Bragg relocated her gallery to Julia Street.

As a result of the 1984 World’s Fair, this former derelict warehouse area had undergone a renaissance into a thriving arts district. Her Julia Street gallery was more than just a continuation of the Magazine Street location. Inspired by the move, Jean Bragg began to include contemporary living artists in her exhibitions, while continuing to provide collectors and museums across the country with the finest historic Louisiana paintings and Newcomb and other southern pottery.

As president of the New Orleans District and a member of the Downtown Development District’s advisory board, Jean played an integral role in advancing the local arts as catalysts of both growth and recovery, particularly following the city’s devastating storms in 2005. In 2015, Jean returned to her beloved Macon, Georgia, closing the gallery’s doors in New Orleans but forever leaving a lasting mark on the local arts scene.

Ne w Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer regional art from The Collection of the Jean Bragg Gallery, including works by William Woodward, Luis Graner Y Arrufi, James Michalopoulos, Jim Blanchard and George Frederick Castleden.

Paul Quinsac was an accomplished painter, trained in the 19th-century canon of the French Academy that privileged classically drawn figures executed in mythological and historical genre scenes over the avantgarde experimentation of the Romantics and later Impressionists.

He studied under Jean-Leon Gerome and regularly exhibited at the Salon, winning honorable mentions at the Salon of 1884 and the Universal Exposition of 1900, and

a third class medal at the Universal Exposition of 1900. In 1901, Quinsac became a professor of art and drawing at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, and was awarded the prestigious Legion of Honor in 1908.

This stunning allegory of sculpture was part of a larger commission/series Quinsac painted on the theme of the Arts. Two other allegories (Music and Painting) of the same scale, size and execution were also sold at Sotheby’s New York in 2015 and 1993, respectively.

“My art was developed, not in the schools, but by independent study before nature, not trying to copy, but to interpret, to find order in chaos, and put it in plastic form.”

Abrams

A true “rara avis”, Lucien Abrams was a Kansas-born American Impressionist with strong ties to Texas and the Old Lyme Art Colony. Born into a financially secure family - his father was a land agent for various railroads and was involved in the early oil industry and his mother was a native Virginian and daughter of a U.S. congressman - Abrams had a privileged childhood which afforded him and his two brothers the opportunity for specialized study and extensive travel. The family eventually settled in Dallas, where they became prominent in local society.

Upon graduating from Princeton with a degree in architecture, Abrams attended the Art Students League where he studied under Frank Vincent DuMond, John Henry Twachtman and William Merritt Chase. In 1894, he traveled to France where he attended classes at the Academie Julian, Academie Colarossi, and James McNeill Whistler’s short-lived Academie Carmen. Inevitably influenced by his fellow students and by the various artistic movements then flourishing in the area, Abrams incorporated aspects of Impressionism, PostImpressionism, Fauvism, etc., into his work. He set up a studio in Paris and traveled across Europe and North Africa. Equally adept at landscapes, portrait and still lifes, Abrams continuously honed his style and technique, his subject matter inspired by the specific location in which he found himself - the dusty, bustling bazaars of Algiers, the sundappled rooms of Paris, the lush gardens of Connecticut. His earliest works were subdued academic figural studies; his later works employed an intentionally limited color palette of reds, greens, blues, loose brushstrokes, and thicker application and layers of paint. At the onset of WWI, Abrams returned to the United States.

One of the most accomplished of the American Impressionists, he brought this artistic movement to Texas where he created works of the Alamo, missions and other distinctly Texan scenes.

In 1914, possibly at the instigation of his former instructor at the Art Student’s League, Frank Vincent DuMond, Abrams became associated with the Old Lyme Art Colony. A city along the meandering Connecticut River, Old Lyme had almost accidentally become a thriving art community for American painters and sculptors. Initiated by Florence Griswold, who invited young artists to work and live in her spacious family home (now the Florence Griswold Museum), the colony soon became an integral center for American Impressionism and such luminaries as Carleton and Guy Wiggins, Childe Hassam, Edward H. Potthast, Robert and Bessie Potter Vonnoh (whose sculpture “The Dance” is offered in lot 577), spent time working and exhibiting there. Abrams eventually purchased a house and greenhouse in Old Lyme on Johnny Cake Hill Road, and he and his wife would travel between Dallas, San Antonio and Old Lyme. During this time, Abrams would frequently paint still lifes of his wife’s floral arrangements; though the paining offered here is not dated, it is likely one such work.

Abrams exhibited widely during his career, including Salon d’Automne, Societe des Independants, Society of Independent Artists, Art Institute of Chicago, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and National Academy of Design, but few of his works entered public collections.

A collector as well as an artist, Abrams particularly admired Auguste Renoir and from 1929-1938 he acquired fourteen works by the artist from the esteemed art dealer Durand-Ruel.

As the First Consul of the French Republic, Napoleon Bonaparte signed the Louisiana Purchase with President Thomas Jefferson, effectively doubling the size of the United States. After a succession of military defeats, Napoleon was first exiled to the island of Elba, and then to the remote island of St. Helena off the coast of Africa.

Former New Orleans mayor Nicholas Girod offered his residence in the French Quarter as a refuge during Napoleon’s exile. Despite the fact that Napoleon did not make it to New Orleans, the mayor’s residence was renamed the Napoleon House.

On May 6, 1821, the former French emperor passed away at 51 years old, surrounded on his deathbed by his doctors. Since it was customary at the time to make death masks for a person of importance, Bonaparte’s physician, Dr. Francois Carlo Antommarchi, cast the original wax death mask of Napoleon’s face.

Antommarchi used the wax death mask of Napoleon to reproduce bronze and plaster copies. In 1834, he traveled to New Orleans and presented a bronze copy of the mask to the city; which is on display in the Cabildo, part of the Louisiana State Museum.

Antommarchi sold his rights to Napoleon’s death mask to L. Richard and E. Quesnel’s foundry in Paris, which fabricated bronze copies.

William Henry Buck (Norwegian/Louisiana, 1840-1888), after Hugh Collins (Scottish, ca. 1834-1896)

Provenance: Dr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Dugas, Jr., New Orleans, Louisiana.

Apparently, the Norwegian-born William Henry Buck was aware of the work of then-popular Scottish painter Hugh Collins. Collins exhibited at the Royal Academy and earned acclaim for his portraits, landscapes and genre scenes. It is thought that Buck did not emigrate to America until 1865; consequently, Buck’s copy after Collins’ painting “Grain Harvest, Lowlands” was painted while he was still in Europe. Interestingly, Buck painted another version of the painting in New Orleans dated 1878.

$100,000-$150,000

The demand for portraiture waned after the Civil War, giving way to the emergence of the Louisiana Landscape School led by Richard Clague, an academically trained artist working in the French Barbizon style. The establishment of art galleries and associations provided the artists opportunities to exhibit their paintings and earn a living.

Among Clague’s most talented students was William Henry Buck. A native of Norway, Buck emigrated to the northeast around 1865 and studied with landscape artist Ernest Ciceri. Arriving in New Orleans in 1870, Buck worked in a cotton merchant’s office and studied with Clague. To accurately represent and experience the unique topography and waterways of southern Louisiana, Clague took his students on “plein air” painting expeditions.

During the late 19th century, sharecropping emerged as the primary form of farming in Louisiana. The newly freed but landless African American workers and the planters who lacked capital and credit entered a compromise. The formerly enslaved people farmed the land in return for housing and a share of the crop. In the painting “Sharecropper’s Cabin, Farm Along the Bayou”, Buck depicted the daily life of sharecroppers. Set among the Spanish-moss-draped live oak and cypress trees, the sharecropper’s cabin was situated next to the fields and included hanging laundry, cistern for collecting rainwater, and pirogue for transportation in the bayou.

He exhibited daily in his gallery in the courtyard of the Cabildo and was an active member of the Arts and Crafts Club and New Orleans Art League.

In 1934, Frank Evans, the owner of D. H. Holmes Department Store, commissioned Castleden to create a series of Louisiana landscape paintings for display in the Canal Street store and board room.

Seven of Castleden’s paintings were shaped to fit the transoms and niches of D. H. Holmes’s Potpourri Restaurant and are now in the collection of the Louisiana State Museum.

Raised in the rural town of Hahnville, Clarence Millet was well acquainted with the bayous and marshes of south Louisiana. As a teenager, Millet came to New Orleans to work as an apprentice in an engraving company. The aspiring artist had the opportunity to study under the midwestern artists Robert Grafton and Louis Oscar Griffiths when they visited New Orleans in 1917. Millet furthered his art studies at Tulane University with William Woodward and then at The New York Art Students League.

Clarence Millet returned to New Orleans and became an active member of the artists, writers, photographers and musicians that populated the French Quarter in the mid-20th century. Millet was known for both his paintings of the historic French Quarter and glimpses of rural life in Louisiana.

In this engaging pendant pair of paintings “Settlement Along the Bayou”, Millet focused on a small community of cabins nestled on the bend of the bayou.

Like all young things I was radical in art...what I wanted was to look for beauty in the every-day world, to catch the joy and swing of modern American life...I was equally determined to prove that as perfect a likeness and as much beauty could be produced in statuettes twelve inches in height...as could be had in life-size and colossal productions suitable for so few houses.

Bessie Potter Vonnoh

The Delineator, October 1925, p. 9

One of the most popular and acclaimed women sculptors of the early 20th century, Bessie Vonnoh was the recipient of virtually every major award and accolade available to a young artist: a bronze medal at the Paris Exposition of 1900, honorable mention at the Pan-American Exposition of 1901, the gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition of 1904, gold medal at the Louisiana Purchase Universal Exposition in 1904, the National Academy of Design’s Julia A. Shaw Memorial Prize in 1913, and the National Academy of Design’s Watrous gold medal in 1921. She was a member of the National Sculpture Society, the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the Old Lyme Art Association and had exhibitions of her work at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences (now the Brooklyn Museum) and a solo show at the Art Institute of Chicago. Most significantly, in 1921 she was the first woman sculptor to be named an Academician of the National Academy of Design, making her and her husband, the American Impressionist painter and fellow Academician, Robert Vonnoh the first couple to be so honored.

A native of St. Louis, Vonnoh had a difficult childhood; her father died when she was two and shortly thereafter she fell seriously ill, spending nearly a decade as an invalid and only recovering after the doctors had given up. Attending the Chicago public schools , she was captivated by clay modeling in one of her art classes and she determined to become a sculptor. With her mother’s blessing and encouragement, she met with the sculptor Loredo Taft, who had just returned from study in France and was an instructor at the Art Institute of Chicago. Taft invited Vonnoh to work in his studio on the weekends and eventually helped her obtain a place at the Art Institute. In 1892, Taft hired her as one of his assistants, a group of young women known as

the “White Rabbits”, at the World’s Columbian Exhibition. While working at the Exhibition, Vonnoh received a personal commission to create a monumental allegorical figure of art for the Illinois State Building. The young sculptor was now well on her way to a successful career and two years later she opened her own studio in Chicago where she produced small portrait sculptures of her friends - known as “potterines”. With the money made by this, she and her mother were able to travel to France and Italy.

Upon her return to Chicago, Vonnoh embarked on a series of sculptures of women and children, which were to prove immensely popular with collectors and critics. These small works reveal an approach to the female form different from her earlier “potterines”; gone was the meticulous attention to the mutton sleeved dresses and fussy hairstyles of contemporary fashion. Instead, the deceptively simple composition of these works revel in a sense of refined movement, emphasizing suggestion over detail, with an intentionally “unfinished” quality to the drapery. The success of such an approach is evident in the work offered here “The Dance”, one of Vonnoh’s most popular models. The figure is caught mid-swirl, hands grasping the voluminous skirts - the movement is implied rather than shown, and Vonnoh has placed the burden of interpretation on the viewer.

Vonnoh exhibited extensively during her career, and while many of her models are numbered or inscribed to keep track of inventory, not all are and there were never any set editions. As with many of her contemporaries, she had her foundry, the Roman Bronze Works, produce works as they were commissioned.

Eugenio Eduardo Zampighi (Italian, 1859-1944)

“The Happy Family”

oil on canvas signed lower left. Framed.

29” x 41”, framed 35” x 47”

Provenance: J. George Mayer Gallery Inc., Bahia Mar Yachting Center, Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Private collection, Florida.

$15,000-$25,000

A native of Modena, Zampighi was born during a tumultuous time when the city was being besieged by waves of revolutionaries and invaders; shortly thereafter it was incorporated into the newly-unified Kingdom of Italy during the Risorgimento, and his childhood and earliest instruction were inevitably immersed in the cultural identity, history and past glories of Italy. This was to have a profound effect on the trajectory of his career, in terms of both style and subject.

A precocious artistic talent, at the young age of thirteen he was accepted at the Regia Accademia di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti di Modena, where he received a decidedly classical education which emphasized the ancient world and the Renaissance. After completing his studies with first class medals in all subjects, he was awarded a prestigious and highly coveted scholarship to study in Rome. In 1883, he traveled to Florence where he was exposed to the tenets of the Macchiaioli, an influential local group of plein air artists who extolled the virtues of the Italian working class and poor, rebuffing the sentimental.

Zampighi soon began creating scenes of domestic life which were intended to reveal the innate pride of everyday Italians. An early proponent of photography, he frequently would reference photographs he had taken of posed models and props in his studio. The resulting works, as evidenced by the fine example offered here, were intensely intimate interior scenes of families with the figures looking towards each other and blissfully unaware of the viewer. His academic training is apparent in the masterful interplay of light and shadow, the careful yet seemingly spontaneous composition, and the sophisticated color palette of warmhued tones.

2. Before the Auction

(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. Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing provided. All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.”

(ii) No warranty of redhibition. ANY WARANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty against redhibitory defects, including without limitation: (x) any defects rendering a Lot useless or its use inconvenient; and (y) any defects diminishing the usefulness of a Lot; and any such warranties are waived and excluded. In addition, NOAG and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer’s intended use or for Buyer’s particular purpose.

(iii) No warranty against eviction. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither NOAG nor Seller have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer’s sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale.

(iv) No warranty as to authorship. NOAG does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship of works of art and fine art. No statement in the Catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED.

(v) No warranty of peaceful possession, etc. The following warranties are waived and excluded: the absence of hidden defects, peaceful possession, and ownership. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty that the Lot is free from hidden defects, or for peaceful possession, or for ownership.

(vi) No other warranties. None of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a).

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

(c). Catalogue and other descriptions.

(i) All statements made by NOAG as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalogue entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/ or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot.

(iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price.

(iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material.

(d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that:

(i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot;

(ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere;

(iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot;

(iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and

(v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.

3. At the Auction

(a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements:

(i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG;

(ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information;

(iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment

(iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and

(v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below).

(b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion.

(c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids.

(i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”).

(ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).

(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, and for bids placed though online bidding partners LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable consisting of a 28% premium of the Hammer Price, 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 (NO DISCOUNTS); 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.

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.
