The Museum assumes no risk, liability, or responsibility for the genuineness, authenticity, or authorship of any offered or purchased item. All artists’ names and dates recorded in this catalogue are not to be taken as unqualified attributions to the artists named. No attributions to any artist or date are made or intended as to authorship or date of execution. Therefore, none of the property in this catalogue is subject to any guarantee of authenticity and all of the property is sold “as is”. Catalogue descriptions are for informational purposes only and should not be taken as an affirmation of fact. No statement, anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in this catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty, representation, assumption of liability, or guarantee of genuineness. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire, or that you have chosen not to examine them.
• The Museum as agent for the owner makes no representations whatsoever that the buyer of any art piece will acquire any reproduction rights thereto.
• The Museum reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before the actual sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
• The Museum reserves the right to reject a bid.
• Some of the lots in this sale carry reserves or minimum selling prices. This is a confidential figure below which a lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate. The Museum may act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Museum as an agent for the owner of the art pieces. The auctioneer may continue such bidding up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Reserves and estimates are subject to change at any time prior to the offering of each lot. If the reserve is not met, the auctioneer may withdraw the item from the sale.
• Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. For your convenience, the catalogue includes pre-sale estimates for all items offered for sale in the auction. These estimates are approximate valuations and should be taken as educated projections based upon the current market, comparable items and recent sales, not as actual “prices.” Bidding, opening bid, and bidding increments will be determined by the auctioneer at his sole discretion. The auctioneer may withdraw a lot for any reason he deems appropriate. At the auctioneer’s sole discretion, no bid of less than one-half the low estimates will be accepted from any source: phone bidding, absentee bidding, internet bidding, or bidding at The Russell Live Auction. The final winning bid may be less than, or more than, any printed or advertised estimate.
• In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or reopen and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the museum’s sale record shall be the final and conclusive record of the sale.
• Upon acknowledgment of the winning bidder by the auctioneer, title to the art piece shall pass to the bidder subject to compliance by the buyer with all other Bidding Procedures. The auctioneer retains all authority and discretion allowed by law. The buyer assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot. In addition, buyer may be required to sign a confirmation of purchase. The Museum reserves the right to impose a late charge of 18% per annum of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with this paragraph.
