• All art pieces are offered “as is,” where is, with all faults.
• The Museum is an agent for the owner of the art pieces. There are no guarantees,
warranties, or representations of merchantability, fitness, nor of any other kind,
express or implied. 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

• 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.
• The purchase price shall be the sum of the hammer price plus a buyer’s
premium. For all lots created by contemporary (living) artists, a buyers premium
of 15% will be added to the hammer price of each piece of art purchased. For
all other lots, a buyer’s premium of 20% of the hammer price up to and including
$1,000,000 and 15% in excess of the final bid price above $1,000,000 will be
added to the hammer price of each piece of art purchased. A 3% discount on the

any applicable use tax imposed by their state of residence on the total purchase
price. In the event that sales tax has not been included in the invoiced amount
and it is subsequently determined that the Museum was required to collect sales
tax in connection herewith, buyer shall reimburse the Museum upon demand for
any sales tax (or equivalent) assessed or due as a result of goods or services
provided by the Museum hereunder, unless buyer provides the Museum evidence
of exemption from such taxes.

delivering any property to the buyer, the Museum’s liability shall be limited to
the sum actually paid therefore by the buyer. In no event will the liability of the
Museum to any buyer with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually
paid by such purchaser for such item.
