Inuit Art

Canadian Fine Art

Waddington’s is internationally recognized as one of the leading authorities in marketing Inuit Art. No other auction house has been as intrinsically linked to the development of a market for this art form. Inuit Art is a proud part of our DNA. From our ﬁrst landmark auction in 1978 of the William Eccles Collection, Waddington’s has oﬀered thousands of works, set record prices, and expanded the market well beyond Canada’s borders.

Waddington’s has been a major force in the Canadian art sector for over five decades, beginning with our first auction of Canadian Fine Art held at the Queen Elizabeth Building at the CNE in 1967. Since that historic event, Waddington’s has offered some of the most important Canadian works, set record prices, and has been an integral part of driving the Canadian art market.

Our legacy of successful Inuit Art auctions, our ability to achieve continually increasing values and our creation of an international market have been key factors in validating Inuit art as a whole and establishing it as an integral part of the Canadian Art scene.

Concrete Contemporary Auctions and Projects

Decorative Arts

Waddington’s launched its newest division, Concrete Contemporary Auctions and Projects (CCAP) in March 2012 with a vision and mandate to create a secondary market for contemporary Canadian art.

Decorative Arts at Waddington’s encompasses a broad and diverse variety of objects and the department's client database is one of our largest. From ancient to modern, delicate to deadly, Waddington’s Decorative Arts department redeﬁnes the term, bringing much more than traditional silverware and porcelain ﬁgurines to market, and with remarkable success.

Concrete Contemporary Auctions merges the worlds of traditional auction and the retail gallery, where our relationships with artists, art dealers, curators and collectors result in exciting new sources of contemporary works. The auctions are tightly focused on Canadian contemporary art since 1980 with an emphasis on mid- and latecareer artists with exhibition history in the private and public sphere. An exciting initiative of CCAP is the launch of our Pop-Up Gallery series in 2013. These short-duration, single artist shows oﬀer works by some of Canada’s most accomplished working artists. Led by one of Canada’s most plugged-in art experts, Stephen Ranger, CCAP is committed to exploring new ways to connect, expand and support the arts community.

Waddington’s reputation for developing new markets is well represented by our Decorative Arts department, as is our ability to present large collections – notable recent sales have included Contemporary Studio Glass, Scientific Instruments and Militaria. The department regularly offers auctions which include bronzes, items of Canadian Historical interest, ceramics, devotional works of art, glass, lighting, militaria, mirrors, objets de vertu, porcelain, scientific instruments, travel and exploration maps.

The Dr. and Mrs. Philip H. Gray Collection of Inuit Art

Collecting Inuit Art A message from Iris Gray The Dr. and Mrs. Philip H. Gray Folkart Collection of Inuit Art presently contains in excess of 344 graphics, stone, bone, ivory carvings, and artifacts from Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. While the four traditional front doors for amassing signiﬁcant collections of Canadian Inuit art were (1) being a professional artist oneself, as was George Swinton, (2) having contact with the northern Arctic, as did Jerry Twomey, (3) being a part of the dealer-distributorcurative network, as was William Eccles, and (4) having suﬃcient wealth to buy the attention and services of those in a position to grant them, as the Albrechts were able to do when they collected a representative set of prints and carvings, some of which are now in the Heard Museum in Phoenix. Since these front doors were not open to us, my late husband, Philip, sometimes whimsically referred to the Gray Collection as having been picked up at the back door. For the most part, the sculpture in the Gray Collection is as good as it is because Philip and I visited a staggering number of galleries, department stores, craft and gift shops in Canada and the United States, always on the alert for the treasure that might have slipped through the funnel of the dealer-distributor-curator network. For each piece of sculpture we bought we looked at literally thousands of unsatisfactory pieces.

Occasionally other collectors sold us something they no longer wanted and could see that we did. Thus, in 1970, we acquired two carvings from Arctic Bay from a resident in Winnipeg, who had lived in that far northern community and had received them from the artist himself. George Swinton sold us a small head by Tiktak, which we would never have been able to acquire unless we had actually visited Rankin Inlet, or had known a dealer who would have contacted us upon receiving a shipment from that area, because Tiktak was much sought after by collectors. Or, we would be present in a gallery when major items for sale came back from a loan exhibition, as in the case of our acquisition of a ceramic by Kukshout, of Rankin Inlet, in 1975. After attending an exhibition at the Craft Guild of Manitoba in Winnipeg in 1969, we dropped in at the local Hudson’s Bay department store and encountered a clerk who knew of our interest in Inuit carvings. She had saved us a beautiful piece from Port Harrison, because she couldn’t think of anyone else who would appreciate it more. In 1978, Philip won a bid on an excellent carving at the William Eccles auction in Toronto, because apparently he alone remembered having seen it pictured in George Swinton’s 1972 edition of Sculpture of the Eskimo* (page 150). Swinton had been present at that auction and even he had not recalled that a photo of the carving was in his book, and that

it had been misidentified. When Philip arrived in Winnipeg in the autumn of 1968 as a visiting professor in the department of psychology at the University of Manitoba, there were old and unsold prints available from the distribution centers, if one could find a gallery willing to obtain them. Fleet Gallery graciously provided that service for us and we managed to buy several dozen prints, which a year or so later simply weren’t available. After our return to Montana, to get a new outstanding Cape Dorset print meant standing long hours in the October cold, in order to be first in line when the particular Alberta gallery featuring the latest edition of prints opened. When Philip decided to seriously collect Inuit art he felt the lack of a guide to the artist themselves, their age, their experience, what kind of work they did, and an indication of the meaning of their work to other collectors. Some artists were famous, and presumably anything from their hand would be worth collecting. But how could one be certain that this piece of sculpture in a gallery was by that famous Meeko and not by another Meeko who had no reputation at all? *Please note – The word “Eskimo” often is used incorrectly in identifying native peoples. This language reflects the time in which and by whom it was written. So, in 1974, Philip privately published his A Directory of Eskimo Artists in Sculpture and Print. The first edition of 250 copies sold out immediately to

Inuit Art Auction – Monday 18 November 2013 at 6 p.m.

the Canadian galleries and collectors, necessitating a second printing. Richard C. Crandall, in 2000, published Inuit Art: A History, in which he cited Philip on page 206: “It [Philip’s directory] was important for two reasons. First, it emphasized the concept that individuals made the art and that there were differences in the quality of the work they produced. Second, it provided collectors with an idea of how others had evaluated, by exhibitions or awards, the work of artists whose works might be in their collections or whose works they were considering buying.” In 2006, Duncan McLean of Waddington’s Auctioneers and Appraisers, of Toronto, wrote: “I remember the first Inuit artist/disc # reference I ever used was your original 1974 index. It came to me with my first collection, the William Eccles collection which formed my first auction in 1978.” When we moved to Montana in 1960, we fell in love with the western artists and made a brief start at collecting. However, we soon realized that we didn’t have a plausible art budget. But what type of art could we afford? Philip’s move to Canada as a visiting professor proved to be fortuitous. Our first encounter with Inuit art was in Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Art Gallery had mounted an exhibit of carvings in Manitoba’s Legislature Building to celebrate the Centennial of the Confederation of Canadian Provinces in 1967. Although Philip didn’t see the exhibit (a friend took me and our

children to see the exhibit and we were charmed by the stone carvings of arctic animals and birds and examples of the way of life in the Arctic), he was impressed with our enthusiastic descriptions of what we had seen. Later he went to the University of Manitoba’s bookstore and found a copy of James Houston’s book on prints and George Swinton’s on sculpture. I expressed an interest in the prints as a possible type of art we might be able to afford to decorate our walls. Philip purchased a few stone carvings to give our daughter and son for “show and tell”. Then he proceeded to educate himself about the print program, and discovered that printmaking by Canadian Inuits was started at Cape Dorset on Baffin Island by James Houston in 1957—the same artist who had got the world interested in Inuit soapstone carving nearly 10 years previously. By 1958 the first group of prints from Cape Dorset were produced, but not widely sold. However, in 1959 the procedure was standardized and commercialized and Inuit prints soon became a hot item for interior decorators. Prints were made in lots of 50 and the cut stone or stencil then destroyed. Ten years later the production of graphics included stonecuts, stencils, and etchings, with the stonecuts priced from as low as $30 to a high of $90. Thus, concluded Philip, the prints might be just the thing for us to decorate our walls. Of the artists involved in the program, a young woman and mother,

Kenojuak, had obtained an international reputation with her “Enchanted Owl”, released in 1960, and by 1969, her work was almost impossible to obtain, being sold out immediately upon release. Pitseolak, another woman artist, was more prolific and had a multitude of themes. Parr was ultra primitive and popular only with collectors, and Philip really liked him. In 1965, stonecut prints were on the market by Holman Island natives in the western Arctic. While the Dorset prints tended to be fanciful, the Holman prints tended to be symbolic. As Philip expressed it: “I’ve yet to see anything more poignant than Ekootak’s ‘Break of the Family’ where the man walks off with his hunting dog, the woman goes in the other direction with her oil lamp, the igloo lies in ruins, the children are a pile of broken pieces.” James Houston has written: “Eskimo prints and carvings are historical documents of a people without written records. Their prints are an important lasting contribution to the art of America, which establishes a strong human link between past and present. Viewing their prints may help us to know the Eskimo people, but more important their art may help them to go on knowing themselves in these changing times.” Our collection of carvings began to grow and tended to reflect the early ways of living and hunting—a diversification of animals and lifestyles of the hunter from the old world of the Arctic. The Inuit lived a hard life

InuitArt.Waddingtons.ca

and, if he failed to hunt successfully, his family starved. He treated the animal he hunted with respect— witness Abraham Pov’s carving “Freeing the Spirit”, thus ensuring he would be successful in hunting another seal in the future. As a psychologist Philip also developed a strong interest in the Inuit’s depiction of transformation in animals to humans or vice versa, and of animals to animals, such as the transformation of the owl to the bear. Although survival in the Arctic was diﬃcult, the Inuit exhibited a great sense of humor in his art forms: the mother decanting her infant from her hood to prevent it from wetting her; the hunter faced with the decision to release the seal or lose his pants in the freezing cold; the hunter sticking out his tongue at the walrus, when the line to his catch breaks; the boy chasing the goose who winds up chasing him and catching him. The stone for the carvings which we own was primarily mined in the vicinity of the artist’s community. Many sources have since dried up and the stone imported from greater distances. The stone from Cape Dorset, Baker Lake, Port Harrison, Coppermine, the Belcher Islands, Lake Harbour, etc., is generally recognizable. Our collection of carvings and artifacts includes 166 pieces from 29 communities in the Canadian Arctic, one piece from Greenland and 20 pieces from Alaska. Our 157 graphics are representative of 10 communities, and 86 of them are framed and hanging on the walls of

our home. The collection portrays the end of an era—an existence that could be brutal (a bear has captured the hunter’s arm holding his copper knife he intended to use in killing his prey, and the look of despair is clearly detailed on the hunter’s face); a spirit of intense energy (depictions of the hunter bending into the wind with his catch); a reverence for the artist’s ancestry (witness Kominerk’s portrayal of his grandfather). Philip collected pieces that literally “spoke” to him. Once he put his hand on the piece, it was ours. He admired the way the carver could contemplate a block of stone and then proceed to carve the image that emerged from the stone, taking advantage of the coloring and striations in the stone to enhance the image, as did Philip Kominerk when he carved his ptarmigan, revealing the bone structure in the bird. The Inuit of old knew his animals—their skeletal structure, how they moved on land or how they swam or ﬂew. Even the functional pieces of the artist, such as a tightly woven waterproof basket, tools, games, dog whips, needle cases, snow beaters, and ashtrays, were decorated and pleasing to the eye. The hunt for a carving of a caribou or a muskox, or a seal, or a hawk, or a mother and child, or a drum dancer, or of a print by a particular artist became a part of every trip that our family took, whether traveling in Canada or the United States. But we also thrilled at the opportunity to see great exhibits in the museums, as

well, and, yes, even when we visited a gallery which contained exhibitions priced out of our reach. Our daughter and son shared in the adventure of the search and in the pleasure of living in a household surrounded by the imaginative eﬀorts of the Inuit artist. Lots from this collection are listed below and indentiﬁed with a blue square in the catalogue. 13, 14, 15, 25, 31, 32, 35, 36, 38, 39, 44, 67, 76, 106, 114, 122, 125, 126, 128, 130, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 140, 141, 143, 144, 155, 156, 157, 158, 175, 176, 178, 180, 183, 191, 192, 200, 203, 205, 206, 210, 217, 221, 253, 254, 255, 258, 270, 272, 275, 278, 284, 286, 292 and 293.

Note: In the 1984 Holman annual graphics catalogue, the print is accompanied by an explanation that reads as follows, “The Raven was known to be a thief and, because of that, he had never been able to find a wife. One day the Raven asked some ducks swimming by if he could marry into their family. Knowing him to be a thief, the ducks said no. Later, some Canada geese came by and they agreed to let him marry a young goose from their flock. When the time came to migrate south, the Raven flew off with his new family. He could not fly as well as the geese, so, when he tried, he would fly on the back of his young wife. This greatly tired his wife and eventually she had to leave her husband behind because her family was by then far ahead. The Raven, now very tired indeed, saw nothing but sea for miles around. Suddenly, he saw a shape and dived towards it. When he came close he saw that it was a whale but by then he couldn’t stop and so he flew right down the blow-hole [sic]. Inside the whale it was nice and warm and there was much to eat, so the Raven happily stuffed himself. When the whale felt the Raven inside his stomach he said, “don’t touch THAT!”. [sic] The Raven obeyed the whale for a long time but finally his curiosity became to great and he touched “THAT”. The whale then died because it was his heart that the raven touched. Soon their was no food left for the Raven. The dead whale finally washed up on the shore and the Raven heard people shouting as they began to cut up the carcass. The Raven knew he was in danger so he flew out the blow-hole, so fast, that no one saw him. Later. in human form, he returned to the beach. He asked if anyone had seen anything coming out of the whale. One man replied that he had seen a dark flash. The Raven told people that the dark flash meant that the whale meat was bad , and that the would die if they ate it. Frightened by this warning, the people left.

Note: From the Baker Lake experimental period. Tunuwak “emphasized that anyone could try out and did, and that they were given new designs to try at their own pace....William Noah thought Tunuwak was good, when he looked at the work I showed him, and wondered out loud why he didn’t continue in the program.” Sandra Buhai Barz, Inuit Artists Print Workbook, Volume 3, Book 2: Print Documentation, 2004, p. 165 $400/600

Note: “In spite of the title of this print, the parkas worn by these four mysterious beings deﬁne them as men; there are no voluminous amautiq hoods, nor are there long, elegant skirt-tails and aprons, which every Eskimo woman wears. Beneath the short attire are not skirts but overpants worn by hunters. Without distracting details of any kind, this is the universal image of a group walking together. To Parr, technique is a subservient of subject, which is realized with near-absolute directness.” Patrick Furneaux and Leo Rosshandler, Ernst Roch, ed., Arts of the Eskimo: Prints, 1974, pp. 74-5 $800/1,200

Provenance: Snow Goose Gallery, Ottawa, ON, Private Collection, ON Note: At times fused with the story of the sea goddess, Sedna, the story of the girl who married a dog tells of a young girl that would not have a husband and came to marry a dog. After becoming pregnant, her father isolated her on a small, remote island. She bore a litter, some dog children and some human children.

Note: “The three graves of Napachie Ashoona Pootoogook, Eegyvudluk Pootoogook, and Pitseolak Ashoona, Annie's mother, father, and grandmother, respectively, are flanked by brilliantly coloured composite flowers, their names inscribed in syllabics to the affixed crucifixes. Central in the image is the bust of a woman with her face obscured by her hands, her mouth rather widely parted. The figure is enclosed by an undulating contour that serves to create a sense of both literal and figurative detachment from what is below. Yellow lines beam from around the encircled figure and burial sites, conceivably borrowed from the contemporary artist’s own iconography where yellow denotes tenderness and warmth. This work is, perhaps, reflective of the artist's change to more emotionally preoccupied motifs following the death of her mother in 2002. Such very poignant subject matter is marvelously juxtaposed with the very simple medium and the artist's signature honest and uncomplicated style.” References from Kyra Vladykov Fisher, Guide to Cape Dorset Artists, 2008, p.170-172 $2,000/2,500

Note: “Indeed, even within an overall ‘Kivalliq aesthetic’ , Miki’s art stands out for its predeliction to abstraction and stylization. It is not surprising, therefore, that the greatest appreciation for him is found in an audience accustomed to the paradigm of modern European sculpture of the type produced by Constantin Brancusi or Henry Moore.” Norman Zepp, excerpt from Sanattiaqsimajut, Inuit Art from the Carleton University Art Gallery Collection, 2009, p. 83

Note: “Tiktak began carving after he suffered a serious hip injury while working in Kangiqsliniq (Ranklin) nickel mine. While he was recovering in hospital, a nurse told him that he could earn some money by carving, so that is what he did. In 1963, Tiktak committed himself to being a professional carver, working with a few specific images, including mother and child, single seated and standing figures, and heads. Tiktak’s work is further characterized by a complete absence of hands and by animated faces with features which, over the years have become more and more deeply incised.” Emily E.

Note: “The artist remembered the spinetingling experience of being confronted by a shaman performing. The magic elements, the antlers and the claws indicate a shaman; the streaming hair, the long dancing tassels and the traditional design on the boots indicate that she is a woman.” Furneaux et al., Arts of the Eskimo: Prints p. 114-5

Note: Image presented to Prime Minister Jean Chrétien 1974 by CAP; “The contemporary, Picasso-like image is of a powerful woman. She has tattoo marks under her nose as well as horizontal stripes around the tops of her boots indicating she is a female ﬁgure. The design on men’s boots would go straight down in a vertical line. The black area on the face represents shadow. Pitaloosie heard of some ‘boss women’ existing a long time ago and she ﬁnds the subject very interesting.” Personal Communication, June 1983, quoted in Arctic Vision: Art of the Canadian Inuit, exh. cat., Canadian Arctic Producers, 1984, p. 29

Note: Harold Pfeiffer made his first trip north in 1954 on the patrol ship, C.D. Howe, as an x-ray assistant, liaison officer, and sculptor. This trip marked first of several tours to the north that would serve Pfeiffer in his art. Pfeiffer sought to capture some essence of the respect and delight he had for the northern peoples of Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Siberia. His efforts toward realism and presenting Northern narratives are clear in this work. Here, perhaps, we see a standing figure heralding in the close of perlerorneq (literally ‘to feel the weight of life’). This traditional Greenland Inuit practice dictates that upon first seeing the sun, one must remove a mitt and hold their hand in the air. The more devout also smile with half their face.

All lots will be oﬀered and sold subject to the Conditions of Sale which appear in this catalogue as well as any Glossary and posted or oral announcement. By bidding at auction, bidders are bound by those Conditions and Glossary, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of sale between the successful bidder (buyer), Waddington’s™ and the consignor (seller) of the lot. Descriptions or photographs of lots are not warranties and each lot is sold “as is” in accordance with the Conditions of Sale.

Condition of Lots All of the items are to be considered, unless otherwise noted in the description, in good condition. The definition of “good” when used in reference to condition, describes an object as having had no major damage or repair but as with the nature of the material, may show minor surface wear, discolouration etc., which indicates the acceptable wear that the piece may acquire with age. If you are particular about minor flaws, you should examine the pieces in person or have our staff answer any questions before bidding. Sizes are approximate. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to

Artfact Live! clients will be charged a buyer's premium of 23% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $50,000 and 18% on any amount in excess of $50,000 as part of the total purchase price.

A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer's premium, except for purchases exported from Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST is charged based on the tax status of that province.

The Auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. The reserve is the confidential minimum price the seller is willing to accept for his or her property, below which it will not be sold. Absentee Bidders All absentee and phone bidders are required to contact our offices at 416504-9100 to confirm whether they have been successful.

Conditions Of Sale

1. All lots are sold “AS IS”. Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted or announced verbally in the auction room prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is oﬀered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly. 2. Each lot sold is subject to a premium of 18% of the successful bid price. 3. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay Harmonized Sales Tax on the total purchase price including the buyer’s premium. For international buyers, taxes are not applicable when purchases are shipped out of country. Items shipped out of Ontario, the buyer is required to pay taxes as per the tax status of that province, whether it HST or GST (Goods and Services Tax). 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from

130

sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice. 5. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and not to reject any bid. Without limitation, any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may not be recognized. 6. Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale. 7. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer’s decision in all cases shall be final. 8. Immediately after the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the sale, with or without

re-offering the item for sale. 9. The buyer shall pay for all lots within 48 hours from the date of the sale, after which a late charge of 2% per month on the total invoice may be incurred or the auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may cancel the sale. The buyer shall not become the owner of the lot until paid for in full. Items must be removed within 10 days from the date of sale , after which storage charges may be incurred. 10. Each lot purchased, unless the sale is cancelled as above, shall be held by the auctioneer at his premises or at a public warehouse at the sole risk of the buyer until fully paid for and taken away. 11. Notwithstanding condition no. 1, if the buyer, prior to removal of a lot, makes arrangements satisfactory to the auctioneer for the inspection of such lot by a fully qualified person acceptable to the auctioneer to determine the genuineness or authenticity of the lot, to be carried out promptly following the sale of the lot, and if, but only if, within a period of 14 days following the sale a written opinion of such person is presented to the auctioneer to the effect that the lot is not genuine or authentic, accompanied by a written request by the buyer for rescission of the sale, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the sale price refunded to the buyer. 12. Payment for purchases must be by cash, INTERAC direct debit (Cdn clients in person only), certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable), travelers cheque, bank draft, electronic transfer (fee applies), and VISA or Mastercard (up to $25,000). As Waddington's requires written authorization for all credit card purchases, credit cards must be presented in person by the cardholder and therefore cannot be accepted over the telephone. However, fax authorization arrangements can be made.

13. In the event of failure to pay for or remove articles within the aforementioned time limit, the auctioneer, without limitation of the rights of the consignor and the auctioneer against the buyer, may resell any of the articles affected, and in such case the original buyer shall be responsible to the auctioneer and the consignor for: (a) any deficiency in price between the re-sale amount and the amount to have been paid by the original buyer; (b) any reasonable charge by the auctioneer for the storage of such articles until payment and removal by the subsequent buyer; and (c) the amount of commission which the auctioneer would have earned had payment been made in full by the original buyer. 14. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make all arrangements for insuring, packing and removing the property purchased and any assistance by the auctioneer or his servants, agents or contractors, in packing or removal shall be rendered as a courtesy and without any liability to them. 15. The auctioneer acts solely as agent for the consignor and makes no representation as to any attribute of, title to, or restriction affecting the articles consigned for sale. Without limitation, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act (Canada). 16. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse admission to the sale or to refuse to recognize any or all bids from any particular person or persons at any auction.
