Athletic Model Guild [was] the 1950’s Physique photography studio run by Bob Mizer for almost 50 years out of Los Angeles. Originally conceived as a talent agency of male archetypes for the booming film industry, it would manage to survive the heavy-handed morality crusades of the 40’s and 50’s. With thousands of servicemen idle after WWII, Mizer could find plenty of models on Venice’s Muscle Beach or the streets of Hollywood. He created a one-man industry of underground photographs that could be purchased via mail-order, selected from his self-published magazine, Physique Pictorial. He started it in 1951 after his advertisements were refused by bodybuilder and health magazines of the day. Many actors and muscle men, gay and straight, got their start posing for Mizer. Joe Dallesandro, who would go on to star in Andy Warhol’s films and pose for Calvin Klein ads, was one of his models. Ed Fury and Glenn Corbett, of 77 Sunset Strip, were among some of Mizer’s other more well-known subjects. As the critic Michael Duncan has stated: ‘Mizer showed his models as young gods, worthy of respect. A homegrown classicist, he presented an idealized side of desire that the ancient Greeks would have understood.’ The history of AMG and its sociological ramifications were explored in filmmaker Thom Fitzgerald’s documentary Beefcake in 2000. Mizer would leave behind almost 1 million negatives of the men he photographed throughout the course of his career.” (https://wesseloconnor.com/exhibits/Mizer/)

Salvador Dalí
(1904-1989) “Symphony Bicyclette,” 1970 Lithograph in colors on BFK Rives paper Edition: 85/200 (plus 20 unverified proofs) Signed and numbered in pencil in the lower margin: Dalí Image: 30” H x 22” W; Sheet: 35.25” H x 25.5” W $8,000-12,000 Provenance: Private collection, Orange County, CA Literature: Field 70-4 Notes: Dalí composed “Symphony Bicyclette” in 1970, as a tribute to his friend Harpo Marx. In the surrealist composition, musicians, most prominently a harpist, play on the prow of a ship sailing into a sea of cyclists as it heads toward the sunset and a wall of dancing flames. The visual wordplay of the central “harpist” represents Marx as well as the longstanding friendship and hijinks between the two men, dating back to their 1936 meeting in Paris. Dalí first encountered Marx at a Parisian party, where the Surrealist comic was in the midst of performance art, standing naked in a garden surrounded by harps. The following Christmas, Dalí sent Marx a gift of a full-sized harp that had been wrapped in cellophane with spoons replacing tuning knobs, cutlery glued on the frame, and strings made of barbed wire. In reply, Marx sent Dalí a photo of himself playing the harp, his fingers wrapped in bandages. “Symphony Bicyclette” is at once a deeply personal reflection of friendship while also exhibiting the humorous absurdity unique to Dalí and indicative of his best work.

Gaetano Pesce (1939-2024)
A ‘Broadway Chair’ for Bernini, circa 1990s Designed 1993 Stamped to the underside: Des Gaetano Pesce / [logo] / Bernini Italy The chair with marbled resin back splat and seat on a stainless-steel frame, raised on rubberized spring feet 29.5” H x 22” W x 16.75” D $2,500-3,000 Notes: Gaetano Pesce was an Italian architect, artist, and designer renowned for his avant-garde approach to design and innovative use of materials. His profound influence on contemporary design has inspired generations of creators since his involvement with the Radical Design movement in Italy during the 1960s. This approach sought to challenge design with unconventional materials and aesthetics. Born in La Spezia, Italy, in 1939, Pesce studied architecture in Venice and traveled, worked, and lived throughout Europe. His contributions across various disciplines are countless. He once remarked, “Art is design, and design is art.” Always pushing the boundaries with materials such as resin, polyurethane foam, and rubber, his work is vibrant, tactile, and playful. Pesce had a prolific career, creating many iconic designs for brands such as Cassina, B&B Italia, and Vitra. While his roots were in Italy, he lived and worked in New York City later in life. The “Broadway Chair” produced by Bernini in the early 1990s, is crafted from polyurethane resin with bright marbled colors. The chair reflects his artistic philosophy of functional objects as works of art. Pesce passed away at the age of 84 on April 3, 2024. His work has been featured in esteemed institutions, including The Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others.

Diebenkorn’s reflection on Japanese woodblock compositional motifs can be seen in the print, particularly the upper right corner and in his use of broad planes of color.

(1959-2023) “Perennial Struggles,” 2021 Acrylic on canvas Signed, dated, and with the artist’s initial and device lower left: D (or R) Davood / 2021; titled, dated again, and with the artist’s handprints, verso 36” H x 48” W $40,000-60,000 Provenance: Property from an Important West Coast Collection, acquired directly from the artist Exhibited: Los Angeles, CA, Wonzimer Gallery, “Fields of Dreams: The Paintings of Davood Roostaei,” solo exhibition curated by Peter Frank, September 22-October 2, 2023 Notes: In “Perennial Struggles,” Davood Roostaei distills a lifetime of confrontation, internal, existential, and eternal, into a single searing composition. Beneath a maelstrom of color and texture lies the shadowed theater of the soul, where the artist casts himself as a solitary matador locked in endless combat with the unseen yet ever-present forces that govern human fate. These are not mere bulls, but living symbols of memory, regret, fear, pride; ancient adversaries that return again and again in shifting forms. The painting vibrates with this cyclical violence, its layered surfaces acting as both armor and wound. Roostaei’s battle is not for triumph, but for endurance, for the ability to stand, bloodied but unbowed, in the storm of one’s own becoming. “Perennial Struggles” is more than a title, it is a condition of being. With every flick of the wrist and eruption of pigment, Roostaei renders visible the lifelong, often silent war we each wage within. The duel between who we are and who we pretend to be. Between the calling of the spirit and the seductions of comfort. Between resilience and surrender. This is a work not of abstraction, but of revelation, one that transcends aesthetics to touch something primal in the viewer. It is an invitation to sit with discomfort, to honor the unseen labor of selfhood, and to recognize beauty not in perfection, but in persistence. “Perennial Struggles” is not just a painting to behold; it is a mirror held up to the heroic quiet of every soul unwilling to yield.

Before the surface erupts into color, gesture, and chaos, there lies a composed understructure: the artist rendered as monk, as seeker, as mythmaker. His face appears multiple times, sometimes serene, sometimes fractured, anchoring the painting in a visual and spiritual loop of reincarnation. At its heart lies a Venus-shaped shell cradling a luminous pearl, a powerful emblem of rebirth, feminine genesis, and the sacred emergence of the self from the sea of the unconscious. This is not simply portraiture; it is psychic cartography. Through his tactile, brushless technique, Roostaei summons a raw, gestural language that transcends representation and enters the realm of invocation. “Journeys” stands as a culmination of over forty years of spiritual evolution and artistic daring, embedded with the codes of Cryptorealism - his signature movement that fuses visible and invisible truths. Each layer conceals a deeper one; each form is a memory in motion. This is a painting that breathes, confronts, and transforms. “Journeys” is more than a singular masterwork - it is a living relic of a visionary’s inner odyssey, echoing across time, myth, and matter.

Hundertwasser once said in regard to this work, “An odd premonition: the drops of blood on the poster I painted before the massacre during the Olympic Games. It is based on my picture 147 The Match of the Century. In the middle of it I painted in the orthodox church which “Father Timofey,” a self-willed, self-proclaimed Russian-orthodox priest, had built in defiance of any building permit right in the middle of where the Olympic Games were to take place. However, the love of the people of Munich prevented the church from being torn down. Several times I visited him and his onion turrets, whose outside covering consisted of shiny tinfoil from chocolate wrappings. I felt my predilection for gold and silver and metal-stamping confirmed. It was a holy feeling.” (Quoted from: “Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2,” Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 832-833)

This piercing process produced delicate filigree and openwork, animated with cloisonné enamel and layers of gold and copper leaf beneath an inset glass top. The composition, populated with Asian figures and animals, reveals the LaVernes’ signature blend of Eastern and Western artistic traditions, transforming a utilitarian form into a sculptural narrative. In “Alchemy: The Art of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne” (2024), Kelvin recalls the extraordinary physical toll of producing these tables - cutting each bronze sheet by hand was so arduous that his hands would often be bloodied in the process. This testament to the labor and devotion involved makes the ‘Fragonard Pierced’ design one of the most celebrated works in their oeuvre. The LaVernes pioneered experimental techniques - acid etching, layered patinas, and even burial of metals to achieve unique surface effects - but the hand-pierced works stand apart for their rarity and difficulty. Coming from the collection of Kelvin LaVerne himself, this table exemplifies the duo’s uncompromising commitment to artistry, where innovation, endurance, and vision fused into timeless, collectible design.

Judy Chicago is a pioneering artist whose work has significantly shaped the feminist art movement. Born in 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, she became a central figure in challenging the male-dominated art world and advocating for the visibility of women in art. Her career spans decades of groundbreaking work that emphasizes gender, identity, and history, making her one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Chicago’s artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her feminist ideals. In the 1970s, she and Miriam Schapiro co-founded the Feminist Art Program at California Institute of the Arts, aiming to support and empower women artists. Her best-known work, “The Dinner Party” (1974-1979), is a monumental installation that celebrates women throughout history. Featuring 39 place settings for important women, it reclaims female history and gives women a figurative ‘seat at the table’ of cultural narratives. Beyond “The Dinner Party,” Chicago continued to explore themes of gender and identity through other works, such as the “Birth Project,” which highlighted the female experience of childbirth. Her use of textiles and ceramics, traditionally associated with ‘women’s crafts,’ challenged ideas of high art and further redefined the boundaries of artistic expression. Chicago became interested in the glass medium as part of collaborative works made for the “Holocaust Project: From Darkness Into Light.” She began working with glass artisans in glass etching and casting, and, in 2003, was an Artist in Residence at the Dale Chihuly-founded Pilchuck Glass School near Seattle. In the “Hands” series, cast glass, fused glass, etching, kiln fired painting and other glass mediums are utilized to create artistic and expressive gestural views of hands and lower arms in anatomically accurate and detailed depictions of flesh and bone structure. Chicago’s advocacy for feminist art and her innovative approach to representation have left a lasting legacy. Her work has not only elevated the representation of women in art but also continues to inspire generations of artists to use art as a tool for social change.

They published thousands of titles with huge print runs, and had nationwide distribution, yet few of the books exist today.... The Greenleaf Publishing company started in 1959 and experienced fast growth and tough challenges as they published sex novels through the 60’s. This was a time of massive change in the culture’s attitudes toward sexual expression. This explained the many legal fights to successfully defend First Amendment rights to publish such books, and the approach to sell the books by putting striking cover art on them. The packaging of the books in the Vintage period had strong cover art and exotic titles that promised much more than they delivered.” Robert Bonfils was a staff artist at Greenleaf Classics from 1962 until 1973. Because his work was so highly regarded, the website states that “...freelance artists wanting to sell to Greenleaf were directed to copy the ‘Bonfils look.’ This is why some covers not painted by Robert Bonfils may resemble his work.” https:// greenleaf-classics-books.com/vintage/

Marketing notes describing the chair: “The Howard Hughes chair came out of an inspiration based on the work Zamparelli & Co. did on Hughes Airwest and TWA. It first became an exercise in simplicity, much like the sitting notion of a stone which is located nearby and takes on the requirements of a veiling sitting apparatus. In composition it is made of only these parts - its dynamics are really - by the spine that holds it all together. It was designed in 1988 as a private venture and Hughes was never aware of its existence. It was never marketed or produced in any quantity until now. It echoes an obtuse modernism and a gothic sense very much like Hughes. Lacquered in Vermilion. Jet black and Verde green.”

His visionary work combined glamour, innovation, and jet-age optimism, helping to position TWA as an emblem of luxury air travel. Zamparelli’s designs remain iconic within the history of mid-century American commercial art.

Mario Armond Zamparelli (1921ñ2012) Prototype Hughes Airwest Stewardess Uniforms, ca. 1972 In the early 1970s, Howard Hughes’s airline, Hughes Airwest, unveiled one of the most distinctive stewardess wardrobes in aviation history - designed by Mario Armond Zamparelli, longtime artistic director to Hughes. Described in the airline’s own ‘Sundancer” magazine as “revved up with a classic boldness in beautiful shapes streaming like light over the body,” the prototypes capture the optimism and theatrical flair of Jet Age travel. The layered ensembles centered on the vivid “Sundance Yellow” knit dress, paired with streamlined jackets and outerwear trimmed in “Universe Blue.” Accessories ranged from narrow-brimmed hats to sweeping hooded capes, creating a futuristic silhouette intended to “catch every eye as she shimmers across the airline terminal.” For different routes and climates, Zamparelli designed practical variations including an orange cotton service smock. These rare prototypes embody the intersection of fashion, branding, and aeronautical design in Hughes’s empire, a testament to Zamparelli’s vision of the airline stewardess as both modern, professional, and stylish.

Conditions of Sale These Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms“) set out the terms by which the sale or purchase of property at auction through John Moran Auctioneers, Inc. (“Moran”) will be governed. These Terms constitute a legal and binding agreement between You and Moran. AUCTION HOUSE AS AGENT Except as otherwise expressly stated in writing, Moran acts as an agent for the seller. Thus, any contract for the sale of property through Moran is made between the respective seller and buyer. BEFORE THE AUCTION (a) Public Preview. All property is available for inspection by public or private preview according to the auction information posted online and in the catalogue. In many cases, particular lots can be examined in advance by private appointment by contacting a customer service representative at info@johnmoran. com or by dialing 626-793-1833. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to personally examine any property in which they are interested. (b) Buyer’s Responsibility. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction. (c) Property Sold “As Is”: Neither Moran nor the seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property, or to any errors or omissions in the catalogue or supplemental material, apart from the Limited Warranty stated in Section 5 below. ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS.” Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran’s catalogue, or online, or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. AT THE AUCTION (a) Admission. Moran’s auction is open to the public, although Moran reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, refuse admission or participation to anyone at any time. The auction may be recorded (visually, aurally, or otherwise) and all participants or attendees at the auction consent to such recording. (b) Buyer Registration. Prospective buyers must register with Moran before bidding. Moran may, in its sole discretion, require identification, financial references, or a deposit in advance of buyer eligibility. Registered bidders accept personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the Buyer’s Premium, as described in Section 4(a) below, plus all applicable charges, unless Moran agrees in advance that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party that Moran, in its sole discretion, deems acceptable. In such case, Moran will look to the third party for payment. Successful bidders may be required to further verify their identity before property is released. (c) Bidding Guidelines. Bidding, whether in person or by agent, absentee bid, telephone, or internet, constitutes a bidder’s acceptance of these Terms. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer retains the absolute right to reject any bid; withdraw, pass, or divide any lots; combine multiple lots; advance the bidding at their absolute discretion; and—in the case of error or dispute, whether during or after the sale—determine the successful bidder; continue the bidding; cancel the sale; or re-offer and sell the lot in question. Under no circumstances are sellers, or agents acting on their behalf, permitted to bid on their own property. In the event of any dispute after the auction, Moran’s sale record shall be conclusive as to the successful bidder and the price of the successful bid. (d) Absentee, Telephone, and Internet Bidding. Moran offers absentee, telephone, and internet bidding as a convenience to clients and does not accept liability for errors or failures to execute bids. Absentee and telephone bids must be recognized by Moran prior to auction day. When identical absentee bids are submitted that become the highest bids at the auction, the bid first received by Moran shall be accepted as the winning bid. Telephone bidders are encouraged to leave minimum bids in case of technical failure.
(e) Reserves. Unless Moran expressly indicates otherwise, lots may be offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve for any lot shall not exceed its published estimate. Moran shall act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer, who may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on the seller’s behalf. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the reserve amount, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Lots without reserves are typically opened for bidding at 50% of their low estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backward at their discretion or deem the lot unsold if a bid is not recognized. AFTER THE AUCTION (a) Payment and Title Transfer. The buyer agrees to pay the sum of the hammer price plus Buyer’s Premium, plus any applicable sales tax. The Buyer’s Premium will be calculated as follows: 27% on the first $1,000,000 of the hammer price, plus 21% on any amount between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000, and 15% on any amount above $5,000,000 when paying by cash, check, or wire transfer. Successful bidders using Live Auctioneers or Invaluable platforms will be charged a Buyer’s Premium calculated as follows: 32% on the first $1,000,000 of the hammer price, plus 26% on any amount between $1,00,001 and $5,000,000, and 20% on any amount above $5,000,000 when paying by cash, check, or wire transfer. Credit card payments made directly to Moran will be subject to an additional 3% acceptance fee. This fee is not more than the cost of accepting these cards. The name and address associated with the credit card must match the name and address of the successful bidder. Credit Cards are not an accepted form of payment for buyers outside the United States. Buyers are strongly encouraged to provide full payment at the auction. Payment must be received by Moran within five business days immediately following the auction. The buyer does not acquire title to and may not take possession of the lot until all amounts (including the hammer price, premium, and applicable taxes) due to Moran have been paid in full. Unless alternate payment arrangements are made immediately following the auction, successful Live Auctioneers bidders will be automatically charged via Live Auctioneers’ LivePayments 24 hours after the auction. Payments made through Live Auctioneers LivePayments are subject to an additional processing fee and any applicable state sales tax. (b) Collection: Buyers are strongly encouraged to collect purchased items from the sale site at the time of the auction. Packing material and labor are provided free of charge at the sale site during the auction. Packing and handling of purchased lots is undertaken by Moran solely as a convenience to customers. If a buyer opts to use this courtesy packing and handling service, Moran is not liable for damage to property, regardless of cause. (c) Storage and Abandonment. Following the auction, uncollected lots shall be relocated to and stored in Moran’s warehouse. Moran shall retain possession of all purchases until full payment has been received from the buyer. Lots remaining uncollected after the fifth business day following the sale, regardless of payment status, are subject to a per-lot daily storage charge of $10.00. In addition to other remedies available by law, Moran reserves the right to impose upon delinquent buyers a separate 1% monthly charge (of the purchase price, or the maximum permitted by law) commencing on the sixth business day after the sale date. If a buyer fails to retrieve a purchased lot within thirty (30) days after the date of sale (the “Retrieval Period”), Moran may, without further notice, (a) continue to store the lot in Moran’s warehouse, or at the warehouse of a third-party, subject to the storage charge described above; (b) deliver the lot to the buyer at the buyer’s expense; or (c) sell the lot at auction without reserve at a place and time determined by Moran in its sole discretion.
Conditions of Sale Cont’d (d) Consequences of Late Pick-Up/Abandoned Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Moran has no duty to store any lot indefinitely. Any purchased lot that remains in Moran’s possession sixty (60) days after the Retrieval Period (collectively, ninety (90) days) will be deemed abandoned (“Abandoned Property”) and title to it will pass to Moran. Moran may, in its sole discretion, discard or sell any Abandoned Property and may keep any proceeds from any such sale. Moran may not be held liable for any claims related to Abandoned Property. Moran is not responsible for damage or loss that occurs to Abandoned Property and Moran is not responsible for insuring Abandoned Property after the Retrieval Period. (e) Shipping. As a courtesy to buyers, Moran provides a list of preferred shippers who are in the business of transporting antiques and works of art. Buyers are responsible for arranging their own shipping estimates and deliveries. Moran, in its sole discretion and as a courtesy to buyers, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured, and forwarded by a third-party shipper at the request, expense, and risk of the buyer. In circumstances where Moran arranges for such third-party services, Moran may apply an administration charge of 15% of that service fee. Moran assumes no responsibility for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by other packers or carriers, even if recommended by Moran. Moran also assumes no responsibility for any damage to picture frames or to the glass therein. (f) All Sales Final. Notwithstanding other terms mentioned herein, refunds may be given in Moran’s sole discretion. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be made within 180 days of the auction and accompanied by a supporting written statement from a recognized authority (defined as a person who has authored, edited, or substantially contributed to a monograph on the artist; a person who has curated, organized, or substantially contributed to a solo exhibition on the artist; or a person who has represented the artist’s estate or someone who represented or worked closely with the artist while they were alive and, in any of the foregoing instances, physically handled works of the period, medium, and subject matter in question during the course of their duties) stating that the object sold is incorrect or not the work of the artist. Dealers, appraisers, and representatives of other auction firms do not qualify as authenticators of individual artists unless they have had such specific involvement with that artist’s work, as specified above, in addition to their daily duties. Refunded lots must be returned to Moran in the same condition as when sold. Moran does not grant extensions to refund considerations based upon authenticity due to shipping delays. There are no exceptions to this refund policy. LIABILITY AND LIMITED WARRANTY (a) Liability. The buyer expressly agrees that (i) neither Moran nor the seller shall be liable, in whole or in part, for any special, indirect, or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits, and (ii) the buyer’s damages, if any, are limited exclusively to the original purchase price paid for the lot. (b) Limited Warranty. ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS. Neither the seller nor Moran or its associates make any representation, express or implied, warranty (including merchantability and fitness), or guarantee in condition, age, size, provenance, medium, signature, inscription, exhibition history, importance, rarity, country of origin, genuineness, historical relevance, monetary or other value, framing or lack thereof, mounting, conservation, coloring, palette, inscription, edition, style, label, or other descriptor. No statement in the catalogue, brochures, website, bill of sale, invoice, any supplementary material, or statements by any Moran employee shall be deemed a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. (c) Descriptions. No warranty, whether express or implied, is made with respect to any description contained in this auction or any second opinion. Any description of the items or second opinion is for the courtesy of identifying the items for those bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots in person, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the transaction or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the auctioneer. Color variations can be expected in any electronic or printed imaging and are not grounds for the return of any lot. (d) Estimates. All estimates provided are carefully considered opinions of Moran’s specialists and are merely suggested guidelines for interested buyers. Buyers must be aware that all property sold is subject to fluctuating values depending on the subjective interests of collectors and a wide variety of other uncontrollable factors. The lots auctioned may sell at prices above, within, or below estimate. (e) Notices, Demands, and Refunds. Any demands for refunds, problems with the lot(s) sold or notices of any kind concerning the auction shall be made (1) in writing and addressed to John Moran Auctioneers, Inc, 145 East Walnut Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016 or (2) via email at info@johnmoran.com.
(f) Notices, Demands and Refunds: Any demands for refunds, problems with the lot(s) sold or notices of any kind concerning the auction shall be in writing and addressed to John Moran Auctioneers, Inc, 145 East Walnut Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016. ADDITIONAL MATTERS (a) Copyright. The copyright on all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for Moran for its auction is and will remain at all times the property of Moran. Moran and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to a purchased lot. (b) Buyer’s Breach of Conditions. If a buyer fails to comply with any of these Terms, Moran may, in addition to asserting all remedies available by law, including the right to hold that buyer liable for the purchase price, (i) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; (ii) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately upon notice to the buyer; or (iii) take such other action as Moran deems necessary or appropriate. If Moran resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency between the original sale price and any subsequent mitigation sale, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorney’s fees, commissions, incidental damages, and all other charges due hereunder. In the event that such buyer pays a portion of the purchase price for any property, Moran’s shall apply the payment received to such property that Moran, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Moran shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of California. (c) Governing Law. The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Terms and the conduct of the auction shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of California. (d) Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by private arbitration before an arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause does not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator determines a Party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. (e) Severability. Should any of these conditions be deemed unenforceable, invalid, or illegal in any court having jurisdiction, that part shall be severed from these Terms and shall have no effect on the enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, which shall remain valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
