Collector in Conversation

Ali McIntosh Owner of Tessuti, Auckland

Ali McIntosh's parents started to collect art when she was about 8-years-old, taking her to exhibitions around Auckland, exposing her to the appreciation of colour, form and practice — an experience that Ali continued with her own children.

What do you do?

What is a work you feel connected to?

I am the owner of Tessuti, one of Auckland's iconic homeware stores on Jervois Road.

How did you start collecting?

When my kids were young, each year, a collective of artists would make works and hang them locally. It was encouraged that you came with your children and that they chose an artwork. My son chose a charcoal drawing, titled In The Woods, signed by Dean Buchanan, and my daughter chose Close Look Cat, signed by Hawly.

Each piece was around $50 or so, with the intent Webb's

that children were exposed to art and collecting from an early age. I still have both art works and cherish them. Other than that, the first pieces I acquired were through my friendship with photographer and painter Max Thomson. Other recent purchases include Nick Herd, Henrietta Harris, Ryder Jones, and Garth Tapper, which I inherited from my mother.

2022

The White Cloth, by Els Noordhof, purchased at a solo exhibition, 9th November 1971 at John Leech Gallery. I had to wrestle for this painting with my brothers, as it is from our family home.

I remember it displayed on our mantelpiece.

Why is art important to you?

Because it makes me feel good! It is emotive, peaceful.

I often find myself looking at Henrietta's work, I love the way it draws the eye and encourages one to look forward.

John Lethbridge, Farm Life: An Exercise in Survival: The Ride, 1978, with performer-assistant Jane Campion, Giclee print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, 1/5, printed 2022, 560 x 560mm

Webb’s Wellington: Opening in February

John Lethbridge: Divination Performance Photographs 1978–82 23 February – 12 March Wellington-born artist John Lethbridge started out as a printmaker. He went on to study under Jim Allen at Elam in Auckland in the early 1970s, joining the postobject-art set. (His 1975 solo show Formal Enema Enigma was part of Auckland City Art Gallery’s Project Programme.) Lethbridge moved to Australia at the beginning of 1976 and bought a Hasselblad camera.

The iconic staged photographs he made in the late 1970s and early 1980s have one foot in the literalism

of performance documentation and another in the glitz of fashion photography. Equal parts Joseph Beuys and Helmut Newton, they scrambled genuine psycho-spiritual enquiry with camp theatrics, and epitomised the postmodern turn. Many of the photos feature performer–assistant Jane Campion. Lethbridge’s 1978 series Farm Life: An Exercise in Survival was shot at her family farm at Peka Peka. John Lethbridge: Divination has been curated by Robert Leonard.

John Lethbridge, Lost at Sea: Divination, 1979, with performer-assistant Jane Campion, Giclee print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, 1/5, printed 2022, 560 x 560mm

Lethbridge’s photographs of 1978 and 1979 are blatantly superficial. Deliberately, many have been published as fashion photographs as they depict the stylish mysteries and weird juxtapositions that are thoroughly associated with advertisements for fashionable clothes. Supposedly autobiographical, they barely present enough information to puzzle and excite and never enough to actually narrate … The development of Lethbridge’s work in 1978 followed closely on developments in pop music, particularly British punk and American disco. On the one hand, punk was supposed to have had a social conscience (aggressively working class, adolescent, and politically powerless) while disco, continually misunderstood since its emergence from the bars of black and gay America, represented glitz, gloss, and glamour; it was the epitome of superficiality and apt vehicle for vacuity. Stated simply, the accidental collision or crossover of punk and disco styles is now called new wave music and it is such a collision to which Lethbridge aspires, admiring both punk’s rebelliousness and disco’s formalism. —Paul Taylor, ‘Australian New Wave and the “Second Degree”’, Art and Text, no. 1, Autumn 1981.

2021 was a watermark year for art in New Zealand.

At Webb’s, we achieved a slew of records and remarkable results. Our total art sales exceeded $20 million. There’s been a remarkable rise in the value that New Zealander’s place on our unique cultural heritage. At Webb’s, art is our passion.

We are working to increase the public’s appreciation of our incredible tradition in the visual arts.

In keeping with this, it’s important to us that we lend support to the overall art ecosystem. Some recent examples of this include our sponsorship of the exhibition Terminal at City Gallery Wellington, hosting Eden Arts Trust’s Art Schools Award and our crucial support of Artspace Aotearoa’s fundraising auction, When the Dust Settles.

We have also been working with commercial landlords to provide support for artists. We’ve given artists the opportunity to utilise unused space as muchneeded studios. This fledgeling programme has seen extremely positive feedback from the community.

On the Rise: Women Artists

Art by women has been historically undervalued relative to art by men. A shift in this status quo has been long overdue, and Webb’s is thrilled to see it starting to happen.

That said, there is still a great deal of room for growth in the prices of works by leading women artists. Webb’s will continue to advocate for value recognition of Aotearoa’s finest in 2022 and beyond, and we expect to see continued growth in prices for art by women.

Market sentiment is changing. Artwork by women is seeing greater interest and investment as more collectors embrace contemporary New Zealand art, and recognise its value. It has been a privilege for Webb’s to represent magnificent artworks by brilliant women at auction, and it is heartening to see New Zealanders increasingly recognising the significance and value of our dazzlingly rich artistic culture and women artists and makers. We look forward to witnessing the continuation of this progression.

2022

2021 was a remarkable year for art at Webb’s. Notable among the many achievements of the year was a marked increase in the prices recorded for work by women artists. We achieved all-time price records for Séraphine Pick, Robin White and Liz Maw. We also achieved the second highest ever prices for works by Louise Henderson and Fiona Pardington. These records were not outliers. A substantial increase in market appreciation of high-quality New Zealand art by women artists is notable, right across the board.

Foreword

Kia ora koutou, nau mai haere mai ki te Huitanguru Art to Date, welcome to our February Art to Date catalogue. Our team is incredibly proud to present the first live art sale for 2022. We are excited to welcome our clients back into the gallery after a fantastic summer that offered the best of New Zealand weather. Last year the art market continued to flourish on an unprecedented and impressive trajectory.

2022 has some fantastic developments in the pipeline, our Wellington office will launch later this month. As the space nears completion, we can see what a stunning viewing space the Marion Street premises will offer Wellington clients.

The calendar year is set to be a vibrant one, with our Works of Art sale coming up in March followed shortly after by Observer – a beautiful offering of sketches by Don Binney. These studies offer incredible insights into the master painter’s process as well as being delightful works on their own merit. The Observer will travel to Wellington and Christchurch before the auction in Auckland in April.

The Group auction is another calendar highlight. The sale offers a fantastic, curated selection of works by artists who worked within the Christchurch based collective.

Operating from 1927-1977 The Group is a vital historical reference when looking at the foundation of the art market in New Zealand.

February Art to Date offers two catalogues, our main catalogue has just over 200 lots that offer a huge range of work form both New Zealand and international artists.

Spanning mediums, decades and price points the auction truly offers “something for everyone”. Within the catalogue there is an impressive suite of works by Carl Sydow that offer examples of the artist's sculpture, painting and paper works. These works show his intensely beautiful and often delicate spatial investigations. Included also is a group of ceramic works by Tauranga based artist Laurie Steer; these well-known spikey vessels offer a spin on traditional pottery, throwing it into a more uncomfortable artistic genre.

Webb's

February

After the success of our last Select catalogues, we are happy to offer this section again. Here the team has chosen their staff picks, scanning the consigned works for pieces that offer interesting pairings, each of which is accompanied by a short essay. From the very contemporary work by Japanese-born, Tāmaki Makaurau based artist Claudia Kogachi to a stunning pair a beautiful pair of paintings by Vera Cummings painted in the 1920’s there is a great overview of artistic practice.

The team looks forward to presenting the works within the catalogue to you. If you cannot attend the viewing in person, we are always happy to show you works through FaceTime or to give you an in-depth condition report for any work of interest. We always look forward to hearing from our clients so do keep in touch with the team if we can assist in any way.

When Laurie Steer proclaimed himself the best potter in the world, it was more than an act of grandstanding. Steer was referring to the business and performance of being an artist – its mythology of creative genius and financial precarity, a duality that still confronts the artist on a daily basis. Rather than relying on others to affirm his work, he made a decision to simply be the best. It turned into self-fulfilling prophecy.

At first glance, Steer’s ceramics are brash, bordering on repulsive. His vessels are often adorned with orifices and razorsharp teeth, rendering their function inoperable. Perforated and incised clay, sometimes crushed, sometimes extruded into hallucinatory spikes, mar the illusion of serenity that their glossy surface entails. They bear the wounds of their uneasy creation like stigmata. Some pots are stacked atop one another producing hybrid shapes, others, deformed and deranged. Each appears to contain its own imagined history and narrative, yet collectively they also comment on the real history of ceramics. With their violent appearance, Steer’s work resists the intellectual and aesthetic traditions often associated with the medium.

Steer may seem cavalier, but his devotion to pottery is sincere. Born in Mount Maunganui, Steer studied at AUT before being offered a coveted opportunity to work with the renowned ceramicist Barry Brickel at the latter’s Driving Creek Railway. At the time, Steer was working on his Masters thesis, experimenting with shards and falsified archaeology. Brickel was unimpressed.

But the experience proved formative. Steer used this time to hone his self-taught technique and lay the foundations for a selfsufficient practice.

Steer is now the director of Driving Creek Railway Charitable Trust, which was bequeathed to the nation when Brickel passed away in 2016. He is also the inheritor of a ceramics legacy spanning over a century. This legacy began when the English artist Bernard Leach, inspired by Japanese raku ceramics, began studying under the master potter Urano Shigeichi in 1911. Leach’s treatise, A Potter’s Book, emphasised the importance of local materials and production, functionality and a distinct lack of ornamentation.

This would have a deep effect on New Zealand’s pottery community, especially Len Castle, who would take up this call for traditional craftsmanship. Castle’s work deeply influenced Brickel, who in turn mentored Steer. This creative genesis is conceptualised in the very material of Steer’s stoneware. The artist often incorporates discarded fragments of fired clay from the pan mill at Driving Creek into locally sourced clays, literally and metaphorically infusing his ceramics with spirit of his predecessors.

However, Steer’s interpretation of this legacy is more subversive, embracing iconoclasm and humour to both critique and innovate. This is exemplified in a series of eleven small raku-fired works exhibited at the Heide Museum of Modern Art in 2019. Works such as Masher and Ogre Slaying Child, with openings ringed by sinister teeth, take on a mythic, almost primeval character. Others, such as Old Apocalyptic Painting and Everyday is a Lie are more philosophical, bordering on nihilism.

It’s this irreverence that sustains the artist. Unsold works end up smashed and reincorporated into new works. For Steer, this process allows him to expand the conversation beyond craft, fuelling an endless cycle of creation and destruction.

Carl Sydow: Towards a New Vernacular In October 1975, Carl Sydow presented an extraordinary exhibition of Letraset drawings at Christchurch’s Brooke/Gifford Gallery.

Hailed for their confident articulation of space and volume, these drawings revealed a glimpse behind the sculptor’s process and his rigorous attention to form, symmetry and line. Resembling technical drawings, Sydow’s works on paper combined graphic precision with a latent sculptural potential encapsulating six years of prior experimentation. But within two short months, Sydow had passed away. With many of his earlier sculptures destroyed or repurposed after exhibition, his Letraset drawings remain as testimony to his masterful exploration of form and works of art in their own right.

Sydow was born in Takapau, a small rural community in the Hawke’s Bay, in 1940. In the 1950s, his family moved to New Plymouth. There he formed a life-long friendship with John Panting, who would later become a preeminent figure within London’s art scene before his own untimely death in 1974. Both Sydow and Panting studied sculpture at the University of Canterbury School of Art, where they met fellow artist Stephen Furlonger.

Furlonger and Panting continued to study at the Royal College of Art in London and provided Sydow and his wife Rosemary with an entry-point into the cultural epicentre when the artist arrived there on an Arts Council Bursary in 1964. At the time, London was undergoing a radical transformation after years of post-war austerity. A new generation of sculptors, lead by Henry Moore, Kenneth Armitage and Anthony Caro, rejected the staid traditions of their forebears. They encouraged one another to experiment with found and assembled materials such as plastic, fibreglass and painted sheet metal placed directly on the floor.

Sydow was unprepared for the radical works that met him there, which left his practice in disarray. He made use of the studios at the RCA, absorbed himself in exhibitions and took to heart the artistic ferment and discontent of his contemporaries. He abandoned his earlier figurative works in cast bronze and cement in search of a method that was more abstract, non-associative, and self-contained.

When he returned to Christchurch in 1966, he began an introspective period of teaching and drawing, culminating a year later in his first ‘constructed’ sculpture. Sydow began working with industrial pipes and PVC tubes arranged on the ground or suspended using clear Perspex to generate an illusory effect of weightlessness.

Through his meticulous drawings, Sydow created a restrained and economical vocabulary of effects, which he then transformed into large sculptural installations. The graphic quality of incised lines and flat colour combined with Letraset’s uniformity not only recall the Pop and Op Art movements of the 1960s but provide a direct visual correlation to his three-dimensional works.

The moiré patterns and optical illusions achieved in his drawings become overlapping planes of perforated zinc, and large volumes and voids reconfigure as garden lattice and steel pipes in his constructions and suspended sculptures.

Sydow’s abstract works on paper are not merely preliminary sketches for more ambitious sculptural works, but a constant point of return for the artist. In his drawings, we can see the artist immersed in the full potential of his imagination. Illusory and thought-provoking, Sydow’s studies provide rare insight into a period of artistic exchange between New Zealand and international artists, and as well as the knowledge and legacy that the artist brought back with him.

Terms and Conditions The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Webb’s (Webb Fine Art). They are the terms on which Webb’s (Webb Fine Art) and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale.

By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

1.

Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer. “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot. “the Buyer’s Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Webb’s has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Webb’s in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Webb’s).

All values expressed in Webb’s catalogues (in any format) are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$) unless otherwise specified.

2.

Webb’s Auctions as Agent

Except as otherwise stated, Webb’s acts as agent for the Seller.

The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3.

Before the Sale

3.1.

Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Webb’s nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below.

The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”

to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability

by Webb’s of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to 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. Estimates of the selling price 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. Neither Webb’s nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.

Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

An item bought “on Extension” must be paid for in full before it will be released to the purchaser or his/her agreed expertising committee or specialist. Payments received for such items will be held “in trust” for up to 90 days or earlier, if the issue of authenticity has been resolved more quickly.

Extensions must be requested before the auction.

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in New Zealand Dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good opinion or certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

3.

Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Webb’s or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report.

No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

2.

Catalogue and Other Descriptions All statements by Webb’s in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not

At the Sale

4.1.

Refusal of Admission Webb’s reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

4.2.

Registration Before Bidding Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo identification before bidding.

Webb’s may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.

4.3.

Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Webb’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Webb’s and that Webb’s will only look to the principal for payment.

4.4.

International Registrations All International clients not known to Webb’s will be required to scan or fax through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Webb’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction.

Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Webb’s also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid.

This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be charged to this card without prior arrangement.

This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase and will be refunded in full if no purchases are made.

4.5.

Absentee Bids Webb’s will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first.

Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Webb’s after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

Webb's

4.6.

Telephone Bids Priority will be given to overseas and bidders from other regions.

Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form.

Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing.

Webb’s accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Webb’s cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Webb’s of the lots in question, and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (i.e. reserve) for all such lots.

Webb’s will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals, or any other sale room notices.

4.7.

Online Bidding Webb’s offers an online bidding service. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here

by Webb’s.

Webb’s accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details.

Webb’s does not charge for this service.

4.8.

Reserves

Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. 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 seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.

February

4.9.

Auctioneers Discretion

The Auctioneer has the right at his/ her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he/she may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Webb’s sale record is conclusive.

4.10. Successful Bid and Passing of Risk Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.

Payment can be made by direct transfer, cash (not exceeding NZD$5,000, if wishing to pay more than NZD$5,000 then this must be

deposited directly into a Bank of New Zealand branch and bank receipt supplied) and EFTPOS (please check the daily limit).

At the fall of the hammer, insurance is the responsibility of the purchaser.

5.6.5. to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the 84

5.6.6. to set off against any amounts which Webb’s may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer.

5.6.9. to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security 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 by the law of the place where such property is located. The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for said Buyer’s obligations to us.

5.6.10. to take such other action as Webb’s deem necessary or appropriate.

If we do sell the property under paragraph (4), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon reselling as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kinds associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default.

If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (5) the Buyer acknowledges that Webb’s shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount.

5.7.

Failure to Collect Purchases Where purchases are not collected within 2 days from the sale date, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage handling, insurance and any other costs incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.

8.

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.

Limited Warranty

Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of thirty days from the date of the sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue.

The warranty is subject to the following: it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property. the benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Webb’s when the lot was sold at Auction. the Original Buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.

The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of

the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot less the buyer’s premium which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor Webb’s will be liable for any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits.

The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within thirty days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Webb’s to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty. the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.
