This catalog highlights an exchange between two extraordinary people— Lillian Florsheim, an elegant and thoughtful woman who amassed a remarkable collection of art while producing her own art, and her son-in-law, Bertrand Goldberg, an innovative architect whose iconic structures standout in the Chicago skyline. Intensely creative, both Lillian and Bertrand surrounded themselves with art and objects and maintained relationships with important artists across the globe. Their friendship developed over shared ideas, interests, and concepts explored in their individual artistic practices and in the artworks they collected.

Nancy Florsheim, Lillian’s daughter, brought the two together. Nancy married Bertrand in 1946 and two years later Lillian asked her architect son-in-law to renovate her home and studio. For the project, Bertrand designed a pioneering and sophisticated kitchen that bridged the two buildings, clad in fiberglass and featuring only white, black and silver within. The relationship grew from there, as Lillian supported Bertrand and he in turn encouraged her work and interest in the arts. Bertrand helped Lillian by making special displays for the art she collected and for her own works, and developed special lighting and hardware systems in her studio. He photographed her works and lit her shows.

The symbiosis of their relationship was apparent early on but it extended beyond mutual respect, appreciation and support into more formal artistic concerns.

From exploration into materials and form, both the architecture of Bertrand Goldberg and the art of Lillian Florsheim share significant overlaps. The timeline and connections are not necessarily linear or direct, but it is evident in a vibrant dialogue between their works and the art with which they surrounded themselves.

Both had early interest in curved, three-dimensional form. Lillian began her work Layout model with varied geometries by Bertrand Goldberg Associates for the Health Sciences Center in Stony Brook, NY

in the 1940s with figural sculptures, which evolved into more abstract works and string models. Bertrand’s interest in curvature started with two-dimensional curves in his furniture design of the late 1940s and early 1950s, and by the end of the decade and into the early 1960s, his control and understanding of curves was much more sophisticated as revealed in the three-dimensional volumes of Marina City and the Brenneman School with its hyperbolic concrete shells sheltering individual classrooms.

Quatrefoil, a cast plaster work by Lillian from 1963-64 presages the quatrefoil plans of Bertrand’s hospitals of a few years later and illustrates their shared interest in volumetric expression. At times, the dialog in their production is obvious but it is rarely simple. Rather, it is an extended conversation between two thinking individuals, each working in their own medium. In the end, Bertrand remained focused on structural form while Lillian was more interested in conceptual issues and they each remained true to their individual training and to their teachers ’ philosophies (Lillian to László Moholy-Nagy via her studies at the Institute of Design, and her exchanges with the artists Georges Vantongerloo and Max Bill; Bertrand to Josef Albers and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe).

In addition to the dialog between Lillian’s art and Bertrand’s architecture, other aspects of their daily lives were intertwined not only with family ties but by their proximity to each other; Bertrand and Nancy lived just a few blocks away from Lillian’s home and studio in the Gold Coast of Chicago. Furthermore, all were near Bertrand’s Astor Tower, home to Maxim’s de Paris, the esteemed French restaurant based on the legendary Parisian establishment that was owned and run by Nancy Goldberg for two decades and enjoyed frequently by all three.

The family was close knit and even their travels were at times shared. In 1956 Lillian, Nancy and Bertrand attended the Venice Biennale and afterwards all three visited the artist, Pietro Consagra in Rome. Both Lillian and Bertrand acquired works from Consagra further illustrating just how often their interests and appreciations aligned. They often collected works by the same artists, and also ancient artifacts and antiques. Yet, throughout each maintained their own singular vision that was both informed and inspired by the other.

With nearly 200 lots, this unique offering explores the complex and multi-faceted relationship of the artist, Lillian Florsheim and architect, Bertrand Goldberg. upper right Brenneman School, Chicago designed by Bertrand Goldberg above Quatrefoil

Lillian Florsheim came to the arts late in life. She began with painting in the 1940s, starting artistic work in her fifties. Her life up to then had been more conventional. She was born Lillian Hyman, in 1896 to parents Clara Newman and Harris Hyman. Raised in New Orleans in a large house on St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District, she summered with her family in Charlevoix, Michigan. The first woman in her family to go to college, Lillian was a strong student, and graduated from Smith College where she studied literature and philosophy. In 1918 she married Irving Florsheim of the prominent manufacturing company Florsheim Shoes, founded by his father. The young couple moved to Chicago and kept homes both in the city and outside in Libertyville. Lillian and Irving had two daughters, Mary and Nancy.

After twenty-eight years of marriage, in 1946, Lillian and Irving divorced and she would never remarry. It was at this time that Lillian began to pursue her interest in the arts. She took courses in painting with Rudolph Wiesenborn and George Buehle, before studying sculpture under Hugo Weber at the Institute of Design in Chicago where she was introduced to more exploratory abstractions and three-dimensional studies. Throughout the 1950s Lillian dedicated herself to creating works that ranged from small abstract figures to string studies. In the late 1950s and early 1960s she moved to more abstract and complex studies of form and larger geometric constructions. From the mid-1960s through the early 1980s, Lillian’s art was widely exhibited locally as well as overseas in Europe. In 1970 she was one of three artists featured in solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.

Not only did Lillian make art, but she also began to collect art in the late 1950s. She undertook this with serious investigation into the Cubists and other artists of the 1930s Paris -based group Abstraction-Création, and assembled a leading collection of their work. She traveled and met many of the artists whose works she collected, with particularly strong friendships with Georges Vantongerloo and Max Bill among others. Over the next two decades she would amass a well-considered and impressive collection which was shown in exhibitions around the world.

Her own work continued to evolve in scale and technique, reflecting changing ideas about art as she worked late into life, well into her eighties. Lillian died in 1988 at the age of 92.

Today, works from her collection can be found in major museum collections including The Art Institute of Chicago, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian American Art Museum and the New Orleans Museum of Art, as well as in museums in Europe. Her work too has found homes in numerous prominent collections across the globe.

1913 –19 9 7

Born in 1913 in Chicago, Bertrand was exposed to new ways of thinking at an early age. His older sister had broken conventions and was active in radical street theater and the Goodman Theater, a hotbed of progressive thinking. Bertrand left Chicago to study architecture at Harvard College and then went to the Bauhaus in Berlin, one of several Americans at this exceptional, short-lived school for architecture, design and the arts.

He worked in Mies van der Rohe’s office, and returned to the United States at the end of 1933 when the Bauhaus was closed. Guided by Philip Johnson to return to Chicago, Bertrand began working in 1934 for Keck and Keck, modernist architects in Chicago. In 1937, he started his own practice, doing both residential projects and industrial design.

He designed prefabricated housing in 1939, and expanded his involvement into factory production of their premade components. During the war he put this knowledge to work for the government, designing portable medical labs that could readily be demounted and assembled. These early projects furthered Bertrand’s interest in structures that could be quickly and affordably constructed, eventually leading to the architect’s embrace of advantageous forms and techniques.

In 1946, Bertrand married Nancy Florsheim, daughter of Lillian and Irving Florsheim of the Florsheim Shoe Company. His mother-in-law, Lillian, was an accomplished artist and avid art collector and the two formed a friendship with shared appreciation of materials, formal innovation and a deep interest in the formal issues of design. At the end of the 1950s, Goldberg began work on two large commissions: the residential high-rise, Astor Tower, was followed by his masterwork, Marina City, the project for which he is best known. This massive project was an entirely new concept in urban planning, and the culmination of his unique design philosophy and innovative engineering. A “city within a city”, it was a complex which encompassed all aspects of life—residential apartments for the middle class, dining and entertainment, and offices and recreational areas were all contained within a meticulously planned urban environment. Socially progressive, Bertrand continued to apply his design philosophy to affordable housing projects, hospitals, college campuses and residential buildings in years following. Bertrand Goldberg Associates also grew, employing over 100 people by the end of the 1970s. The office’s last major commission was Wright College, a five-building campus in Chicago’s northwest side, completed in 1992; Bertrand died five years later. His legacy remains visible in the Chicago Skyline, and Bertrand Goldberg’s designs continue to be among the most recognizable and defining buildings of the city.

Lillian’s artistic production took place late in her life; she began studying art in the late 1940s in her fifties and she continued to work into her eighties. She began with painting courses taught by Rudolph Wiesenborn and George Buehle, both in Chicago. After viewing a work by Max Bill at the Art Institute of Chicago she became more interested in abstract work and enrolled in classes with Hugo Weber at the Institute of Design in 1951.

Here she was introduced to more exploratory abstractions and three-dimensional studies, working with string and wire armatures, a technique derived from László Moholy-Nagy’s early teachings at the school.

Through the 1950s Lillian worked unaccompanied at home in her studio making abstracted figures, string study models, and a variety of utilitarian objects in Plexiglas. In the early 1960s, her sculptures became more abstract, complex studies of pure form. She began to layer Plexiglas, and then moved into strong geometric constructions of rods and planes. By the end of the decade, her works became much larger, first with tall columns and plinths and later with assemblies of tubes and portals. By the end of the 1970s, she returned to making smaller more intimately scaled works.

Over these three decades, she created an impressive body of work with more than 200 sculptures. She explored a variety of techniques, approaches, materials and methods throughout her career, probing the material and conceptual boundaries of her creations.

Lillian’s sculptural work was widely exhibited from the mid-1960s through the 1980s; she had at least sixteen solo shows, and participated in twelve group shows in seven countries. She was a close friend of the highly-regarded Parisian gallerist Denise René, who showed Lillian’s work in 1968 and 1969. In 1970, Lillian was one of three artists in a major exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. She was represented by the notable Fairweather Hardin Gallery in Chicago, who hosted two solo shows of Lillian’s work in 1980 and 1983.

Bertrand Goldberg was one of several Americans trained at the Bauhaus, and is unique for his extensive and productive architectural career that spanned from the 1930s into the 1990s. Born in Chicago, Goldberg first went to Harvard before going to study at the Bauhaus in Germany, working briefly in the small office of Mies van der Rohe in Berlin.

After returning to Chicago, he started his own firm in 1937, working on both single family residences and industrial design, with his custom solutions burnished with his growing knowledge of manufacturing.

Goldberg’s largest and most iconic project was Marina City in Chicago completed in the 1960s. This multi-building complex featured two round sixty story towers, with 900 apartments, a theater, office and commercial spaces, a marina, and many kinds of recreation. The towers have long been iconic structures in Chicago’s skyline and are still in Chicago imagery. At Marina City, Bertrand Goldberg used the creation of a “city within a city” to combine living, recreation, entertainment and commercial space into a single complex, a recurring concept throughout his career. The project featured numerous design and construction innovations; at the time of completion the Marina City towers were the tallest apartment buildings and concrete structures in the world.

Bertrand’s designs were always unique and forward thinking, starting with residential commissions in the 1930s through the 1950s, and extending into major commissions following Marina City. From 1965-1976 Bertrand Goldberg designed nine major hospitals and two large educational campuses, including the Health Sciences Center in Stony Brook, New York, a mega-complex of three large buildings connected through multi-acre base structure. He had a particular interest in the dynamic of the individual and their use of the space around them, an idea that extended to his hospital designs. These all featured a particular approach, with beds clustered around care centers, giving his buildings unique form.

His particular combination of Bauhaus ideas coupled with his American pragmatism is evident throughout his career. Its roots are visible in his early single-family residences and furniture, where every detail was considered, with custom furniture and fixtures common to all buildings. Two projects from the 1950s stand out, one a home out of large prefabricated building shells, from boxcars he was manufacturing in plywood, which were then cantilevered out over Long Island Sound. At the same time, he designed for his mother-in-law Lillian, a unique kitchen-as-bridge, spanning from her small house to her studio. Clad in fiberglass, its elegant interior was in stainless or gloss black, and featured all custom fittings, in perforated metal and machine-parts.

While Bertrand completed many single-family and multi-family residential projects and numerous institutional and commercial projects, the special objects and fittings he designed are rarely seen. With a personal design sensibility rooted in material and technological innovations, Bertrand’s furniture is not only rare, but also exceptional for its uniqueness. The works offered here are exemplary and represent a part of this significant individual’s contribution to modernism.

166 BERTRAND GOLDBERG RIVER CITY PHOTOGRAPHS, COLLECTION OF FIVE

USA, 1972–1986 mounted photographs 66 ½ h × 43 ¾ w in (169 × 111 cm) River City was the last major residential project built by Goldberg. Covering several acres along the Chicago river on the city’s south-east side, River City was over ten years in the making.

Initially planned as the site of several skyscrapers containing everything from homes, schools, shops and infrastructure, the project took various shapes over the years. After more radical design schemes were halted by the city, Goldberg and his team developed River City II, a scaled down and snake -like complex containing 446 residences overlooking an interior atrium named River Road. The complex also featured shops, restaurants, offices, recreation areas and a seventy boat marina. Goldberg and his wife Nancy moved into a penthouse unit and relocated the offices of Bertrand Goldberg Associates to River City from 1987–1990. $ 200 – 300 PROVENANCE

19 6 3 – 19 8 2

The Goldberg family brought the famed Maxim’s de Paris to Chicago in the early 1960s, forever changing the culinary direction of the Midwestern industrial city by introducing haute-cuisine, in what had been to date a steak and martini town.

Nancy Goldberg was developing a new boutique hotel tower in Chicago’s Gold Coast, next door to the Ambassador Hotel, and in need of a restaurant. Her architect and husband, Bertrand, asked his elegant mother-in-law for the best restaurant in the world; she quickly identified Maxim’s de Paris. Bertrand began a campaign to recruit its Parisian owners, first by making a unique French cultural center in the building, and then personally persuading them to make a franchise in Chicago, their first ever. It was a unique moment for both.

Within a few months, Nancy Goldberg stepped in and ran the operations, making Maxim’s de Paris in Chicago an award winning restaurant for two decades. She supervised all aspects, going personally to Paris to recruit chefs and staff. Exotic foods were flown in from Europe, or specially cultivated in the United States. Bertrand culled the markets of Paris for suitable artwork, and together they took care with every detail.

Designed entirely by Bertrand, Maxim’s in Chicago was modeled on the interiors of the legendary Parisian restaurant. From the jewel box entrance of Astor Tower, guests descended a winding dramatic staircase into a lobby decorated with vintage Parisian art before entering the softly lit, romantic Art Nouveau interior with red velvet clad walls, gilt brass vines and ornate mirrors. The tables were set with unique flatware made by Christofle in silver and gold, plates designed by Bertrand made in Limoges. Even the staff wore specially designed attire. Every detail was considered and intentional and of the highest quality.

Maxim’s de Paris in Chicago became a fixture for world class haute-cuisine and French culture. It was one of the most elegant restaurants and nightspots in the city and it became the center for high society who danced into the early hours of the morning in the restaurant’s discotheque, the city’s first. The sophisticated and the renowned dined on the gourmet fare, a precursor to the city’s burgeoning culinary scene, and the establishment set the trend for Maxim’s de Paris to become an international brand now found widely throughout the world.

Each Lot in a Wright Auction or Wright Catalog is offered subject to the following Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”), as supplemented in writing or otherwise by us at any time prior to the sale. By Registering to Bid, Bidding, or otherwise purchasing a Lot from Wright, you agree to be bound by these Terms. In these Terms, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Wright” or similar terms mean R. Wright, Inc. and any of its agents, and “you,” “your,” “buyer” or similar terms mean a person Bidding on or buying a Lot at a Wright Auction, Private Sale, Wright Now Sale or otherwise through us. Please see Section 9 below for the meanings of capitalized terms or phrases that are not defined elsewhere in these Terms.

1 Bidding at Auction Prerequisites To Bid, you must Register to Bid with us in advance of the sale. In addition to our general registration requirements, we reserve the right to require (a) photo identification; (b) bank references; (c) a credit card; and (d) a monetary deposit (which will be refunded immediately if you do not submit the highest bid on a lot and will be applied to any Purchase Price Bid).

Assumed Costs and Risks By Bidding, you understand that any Bid you submit can and maybe regarded as the Purchase Price Bid for a particular Lot; accordingly, your Bid constitutes a legally binding agreement to purchase the Lot in accordance with your Bid if accepted by the auctioneer. You agree to assume personal responsibility to pay the Purchase Price Bid, plus the Buyer’s Premium and any additional charges that become due and payable in connection with your purchase of a Lot; and that upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer or other indication by the auctioneer that bidding has closed for a particular Lot, if your last Bid is the Purchase Price Bid, you agree to purchase the Lot and assume all risk of loss and damage to such Lot, in addition to any obligations, costs and expenses relating to its handling, shipping, insurance, taxes and export. All sales are final.

Auctioneer Discretion The auctioneer has the right, in his absolute discretion, to determine the conduct of any Wright Auction sale, including, without limitation, to advance the bidding, to reject any Bid offered, to withdraw any lot, to reoffer and resell any lot, and to resolve any dispute in connection with such sale. In any such case, the judgment of the auctioneer is final, and shall be binding upon you and all other participants in such sale.

Bidding Increments All Wright Auction sales will be conducted in the following increments, and nonconforming Bids will not be executed, honored or accepted: $ 25 to 5 00

$ 5 00 to 1,000

$ 1,000 to 2,000

$ 2 ,000 to 3,000

$ 3 ,000 to 5,000

$ 10,000+

$ 25 increment $ 5 0 increment $ 100 increment $ 200 increment $ 250 increment $ 5 00 increment $ 1,000 increment or

auctioneer’s discretion

Reserve All Lots may be offered subject to a confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). 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.

Remote Bidding As a convenience to buyers who cannot be present on the day of a Wright Auction and have Registered to Bid, we will use reasonable efforts to execute (i) written, properly completed absentee Bids described on Wright bid forms delivered to us prior to that sale; or (ii) Bids delivered to us via the Internet, whether by properly completed Wright absentee bid forms or, if available, a live bidding service authorized by Wright.

We assume no responsibility for a failure to execute any such Bid, or for errors or omissions made in connection with the execution of any such Bid. If requested prior to a Wright Auction in writing, we will use reasonable efforts to contact the buyer by telephone to enable the buyer to Bid by telephone on the day of the sale, but we assume no responsibility for errors or omissions made in connection with any such arrangement (including without limitation miscommunication of instructions given over the phone or failure to establish a connection prior to a sale). You acknowledge that there may be additional terms and conditions governing the use of any third-party service in connection with Bidding on the Internet, including, but not limited to, those providing for additional charges and fees relating to the execution of such Bids. Wright has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites or services. You expressly release Wright from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or services. Additionally, your dealings with such third party sites, including payment and delivery of goods, and any other terms (such as warranties) are solely between you and such third parties. We encourage you to be aware of, and to read, the terms and conditions and privacy policy of any third-party website or service that you visit.

2 Payment and Collection of Purchases You Pay Buyer Costs If your Bid results in a Purchase Price Bid (or you agree to pay the purchase price for a Lot as a part of a Wright Now Sale or Private Sale), you agree to pay the following charges associated with the purchase of such Lot: i. Hammer Price (for Auction Sales) or Lot purchase Price (for Wright Now Sales and Private Sales); ii. Buyer’s Premium (for Auction Sales) which is 25 % of the Hammer Price (or part thereof) up to and including $ 100,000; 20 % of the Hammer Price (or part thereof) in excess of $ 100,000 up to and including $ 1,000,000; and 12 % of the Hammer Price (or part thereof) in excess of $ 1,000,000. An additional premium will be added to any successful bid accepted through a third-party site. iii. any applicable sales tax, late payment charges, storage fees, Enforcement Costs or other costs, damages or charges assessed in accordance with these Terms (for all sales) ((i) – (iii) collectively, the “Buyer Costs”). All purchases will be subject to state sales tax in Illinois or New York unless the buyer has provided us with a valid certificate of exemption from such tax.

Payment Procedure You agree to pay all Buyer Costs immediately following Wright’s acceptance of the Purchase Price Bid unless other arrangements have been approved by Wright in advance. If Wright approves of such other arrangement for payment, Wright may at its discretion require you to make a nonrefundable down payment on Buyer Costs. All payments must be made in US Dollars, in any of the following acceptable forms of payment: – Cash – Check, with acceptable identification – Visa, MasterCard or American Express Wright reserves the right to charge and collect an additional 2% of payments made by credit card.

Title and Risk of Loss Title to a Lot purchased in accordance with these Terms shall not pass to the buyer until Wright has received the Buyer Costs (including clearance of checks and wire transfers). We reserve the right to delay delivery of or otherwise prevent access to any purchased Lot until Wright has received all Buyer Costs. Notwithstanding passage of title, risk of loss to a Lot passes immediately to buyer upon Wright’s acceptance of a Purchase Price Bid. All sales are final.

Security As security for full payment to us of all amounts due from the buyer and prompt collection of your purchased Lots in accordance with these Terms, we retain, and the buyer grants to us, a security interest in any Lot purchased by the buyer in accordance with these Terms (and any proceeds thereof), and in any other property or money of the buyer in our possession or coming into our possession subsequently (“Security Interest”). We may apply any such money or treat any such property in any manner permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code and/or any other applicable law. You hereby grant us the right to prepare and file, any documents sought by us to protect and confirm our security interests including but, not limited to a UCC-1 Financing Statement.

i. cancellation of the sale of the Lot to the non-paying buyer, including the sale of any other Lot to the same buyer (whether or not paid); ii. reselling the Lot, at public or private sale, with or without reserve; iii. retention of all amounts already paid by the buyer to Wright, which shall constitute a processing and restocking fee (which you acknowledge would be reasonable in light of the costs Wright would have to incur to process your breach and attempt to re-auction or resell the Lot); iv. rejection of any Bids by the buyer at future auctions; v. setting-off any amounts owed by Wright to the buyer in satisfaction of unpaid amounts; and/or vi. taking any other action we deem necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.

Export, Import and Endangered Species Licenses and Permits Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own inquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the United States or to import it into another country. Prospective buyers are advised that some countries prohibit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. As a courtesy to clients, Wright will advise clients who inquire about lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to advise on lots containing protected or regulated species.

Confession of Judgment If you default on payment of one or more Purchase Price Bids under this Agreement, you hereby authorize any attorney to appear in a court of record and confess judgment against you in favor of Wright for the payment of such Purchase Price Bids and all related Buyer Costs. Accordingly, the confession of judgment may be without process and for any amount due on this Note including collection costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. This authorization is in addition to all other remedies available to Wright.

Delivery Buyer is solely responsible for collection of purchased Lots from Wright facilities, including making arrangements and paying all costs associated with packing and delivery.

We may, as a courtesy to the buyer, provide or arrange packing, shipping or similar logistical services, or refer the buyer to third parties who specialize in these services.

Any such services referred, provided or arranged by us are at the buyer’s sole risk and expense, we assume no responsibility for any act or omission of any party in connection with any such service or reference, and we make no representations or warranties regarding such parties or their services. You expressly release Wright from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or services.

Storage, Abandonment and Related Charges All purchased Lots not collected from Wright’s facilities by buyer or buyer’s authorized agents within thirty (30) days following the Sale Date will become subject to storage fees of not less than $ 5 per day. A late payment fee equal to 1.5 % per month may be assessed on any Buyer Costs remaining unpaid thirty (30) days following the Sale Date. If a purchased Lot has not been collected from us within sixty (60) days after the Sale Date, and Wright has not consented to continue to store the Lot, the buyer will be deemed to have defaulted under these Terms, and, in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or equity, we shall be entitled to foreclose on the Security Interest by selling such Lots and using the proceeds from such sale for any purpose (including payment of storage fees and administrative expenses of handling such matter), without any further liability to the buyer. You agree that this remedy is reasonable in light of the costs Wright would have to incur to continue to store and process purchased Lots after sale. Breach If a buyer fails to make timely payment as required in these Terms, or breaches any other covenant, representation or warranty in this Agreement, we shall be entitled, in our discretion, to exercise any remedies legally available to us, including, but not limited to, the following:

3 Limited Warranty “As Is”, “Where Is”. Except as expressly stated below, each Lot is sold “as is” “where is”, with no representation or warranty of any kind from any party (including Wright or the consignors of the Lots), express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Because you are responsible for satisfying yourself as to condition or any other matter concerning each purchased Lot, you are advised to personally examine any Lot on which you intend to bid prior to the auction and/or sale. As a courtesy, condition reports for any Lot are available from Wright prior to the sale, but Wright assumes no responsibility for errors and omissions contained in any such report, a Wright Catalog or other description of a Lot that may be available on the Wright website. Any statements made by Wright with respect to a Lot (whether in a condition report, a Wright Catalog or on the Wright website), whether orally or in writing, are intended as statements of opinion only, are not to be relied upon as statements of fact and do not constitute representations or warranties of any kind.

Authorship Warranty Subject to the following terms and conditions, Wright warrants, for a period of two (2) years following the date of sale, the information presented in a Wright Catalog with respect to Authorship of any Lot is true and correct, so long as the name of the Author is set forth unqualifiedly in a heading in Bold type in the applicable and most current Wright Catalog. The term “Author” or “Authorship” means the creator, designer, culture or source of origin of the property, as the case may be, as specifically identified in Bold type in the applicable and most current Wright Catalog, and shall not include any supplemental text or information included in any other descriptions (whether or not in the Wright Catalog).

Exclusions from and Conditions to the Authorship Warranty Notwithstanding, this warranty is subject to the following: i. The benefits of this warranty are only available to the original buyer of a Lot from Wright, and not to any subsequent purchasers, transferees, successors, heirs, beneficiaries or assigns of the original buyer. ii. This warranty shall not apply to any Lot for which a Wright Catalog description states that there is a conflict of opinion among specialists as to Authorship. iii. This warranty shall not apply to any Lot for which, at the time of sale, the statements regarding Authorship made by Wright conformed with the generally accepted opinion of scholars, specialists or other experts, despite the subsequent discovery of information that modifies such generally accepted opinions. iv. The buyer must provide written notice of any claim under this warranty to Wright (validated by no fewer than two (2) written opinions of experts whose principal line of business is the appraisal and authentication of art, antiquities, design objects or other valuable objects similar to the Lot) not later than thirty (30) days after becoming aware of the existence of such a claim, an in any event no later than two (2) years following the date of sale, and must return the Lot subject to such claim to Wright in the same condition as at the time of the original sale.

Wright reserves the right to appoint two independent specialists to examine the Lot and evaluate the buyer’s claim prior to buyer’s receipt of any remedy pursuant to this warranty.

Buyer’s Only Remedy for Authorship Warranty Breach The buyer’s sole remedy, and Wright’s sole liability, under this warranty shall be the cancellation of the sale of the Lot in question, or (if the sale has already concluded) the refund of the purchase price originally paid by such buyer for the Lot in question (not including any late fees, taxes, shipping, storage or other amounts paid to Wright in accordance with these Terms). Buyer hereby waives any and all other remedies at law or equity with respect to breaches of this warranty.

Limit of Liability In no event shall wright be liable to you or any third party for any consequential, exemplary, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or similar damages, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, regardless of the cause of action on which they are based, even if advised of the possibility of such damages occurring. With respect to any sale of a lot, in no event shall wright be liable to you or any third party for losses in excess of the purchase price paid by you to wright for such lot to which the claim relates.

4 Rescission or Voiding of Sale by Wright If we become aware of an adverse claim of a third party relating to a Lot purchased by you, we may, in our discretion, rescind the sale. Upon notice of our election to rescind a sale, you will promptly return such Lot to us, at which time we will refund to you the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium paid to us by you for such Lot. This refund will represent your sole remedy against us and/or the consignor in case of a rescission of sale under this paragraph, and you agree to waive all other remedies at law or equity with respect to the same. If you do not return such Lot to us in accordance with this paragraph, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold Wright, its officers, directors, employees, agents and their successors and assigns, harmless from any damages, costs, liabilities or other losses (including attorney’s fees) arising as a result of such third party claim.

5 Copyright Notice Wright and its licensors will retain ownership of our intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, rights to the copyrights and trademarks and other images, logos, text, graphics, icons, audio clips, video clips, digital downloads in, and the “look and feel” of, the Wright website and each Wright Catalog.

6 Severability If any provision of these Terms is held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the invalid/illegal/unenforceable aspect of such provision shall be disregarded and the remaining Terms enforced in accordance with the original document and in accordance with applicable law.
