Notes (continued):

Painted over a period of three years and exhibited to acclaim at exhibitions in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia in 1876, “Preliminary Trial of a Horse Thief, Scene in a Western Justice’s Court” is among Mulvany’s most ambitious and psychologically charged compositions, and his first major work. Drawn from an actual 1873 trial in Eldon, Iowa (erroneously identified as Kansas), the painting transforms a local courtroom proceeding into a broader meditation on law, violence, and the fragility of due process in the post-Civil War West. The artist published an explanatory pamphlet that accompanied sales of prints of his paintings that identified many of the figures in the composition, but research shows that in fact, Mulvany was predominantly using neighbors, relatives and patrons as models, many of whom were immigrants like him from County Meath. Historic records do show, however, that Mulvany attended the trial and made on-site preparatory sketches. Mulvany was in Eldon to visit his brother Thomas who ran a saloon on “Whiskey Row” located near the Rock Island railway tracks. While he was there, he heard about the trial taking place on a neighboring block and decided to attend to explore the trial’s potential subject matter. Mulvany mentioned the trial in a letter to a patron, Samuel Coale of St. Louis, “[he] states he is working on sketches, has plenty of models and is working on several pieces while in Eldon.” (Anne Weber, Chapter 4a) At the compositional center stands Joe Hickman, known as “Guerrilla Joe,” the accused horse thief whose notoriety stemmed not only from theft but from alleged participation in guerrilla warfare and house burnings along the Kansas-Missouri border during the Civil War. Mulvany presents him as a stark frontier type: tall, raw-boned, slovenly in dress, and coarse in feature. Yet the figure is rendered with psychological complexity rather than caricature. Hickman’s expression, poised mid-testimony, suggests a man suspended between defiance and inevitability. The model used for the horse thief has not been identified. The pamphlet and a later gallery key identify the numerous participants: Jimmy Hickman, the prisoner’s son; Frank Kimball, sheriff; Anson Klein, prosecuting attorney; Sandy Wilkins, defense counsel; C.H. Eastman, Justice of the Peace; Colonel Edward Mason, clerk of the court; and a cross-section of townspeople, miners, hunters, and self-appointed vigilantes. While Mulvany painted from models, the specificity of these named figures, while not visually recorded, underscores Mulvany’s journalistic impulse and his commitment to capturing a real social drama. The compositional tension hinges on a powerful spatial contrast. Inside the justice’s court, officers of the law lean forward attentively, absorbed in the prisoner’s statement and ostensibly bound by procedure. Beyond them, visible at the periphery, a waiting mob betrays chilling indifference to legal nuance. Their posture suggests that the outcome is foregone; they await only the conclusion of testimony before carrying out extrajudicial punishment. In this stark division between interior deliberation and exterior impatience, Mulvany captures the uneasy coexistence of institutional authority and vigilantism on the American frontier. The painting’s importance was quickly recognized. Though critical reviews of the New York National Academy of Design show were mixed, Mulvany received praise and cemented his reputation. An early chromolithograph after the composition, now preserved in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution and The Great Irish Hunger Museum in Quinnipiac, Connecticut, circulated the image to a broader public, affirming its cultural resonance. The present canvas is the original and primary version of that widely disseminated scene. Executed during the nation’s Reconstruction years, “Preliminary Trial of a Horse Thief” stands as both historical document and moral allegory. Grand in ambition and meticulous in characterization, it exemplifies Mulvany’s dedication to figure painting as the highest vehicle for narrative art. It demonstrates the artist’s ability to elevate a moment of frontier justice into a timeless examination of law, order, and the human condition. This painting was illustrated in an extensive number of periodicals and newspapers in the late 19th Century. A separate literature listing is available for review by request. Research documentation relating to the artist and this painting accompany the lot.

John Mulvany

(1844-1906) Portrait of two Plains Indian figures, 1881 Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right: Jno / Mulvany / 1881 30” H x 25.25” W $1,000-2,000 Provenance: Private estate, California Notes: In this intimate portrait set against the open prairie, Mulvany juxtaposes generational continuity with cultural transition. A seated elder, dressed in traditional Plains regalia, anchors the composition, while a young girl stands beside him, her hand resting gently on his shoulder. The formal, pyramidal arrangement reflects Mulvany’s academic training at the National Academy of Design and lends the scene the gravity of history painting rather than anecdotal genre. The elder’s attire of a feathered ornament, fur-wrapped headpiece with medallion, long braids, and fringed buckskin, suggests a Plains tribal identity, likely Lakota or Cheyenne. The conical tipi with extended smoke flaps reinforces a Northern Plains setting. He appears rooted in inherited tradition and visually aligned with pre-reservation Indigenous life. In contrast, the young girl embodies visible signs of cultural transition. Her red trade-cloth dress reflects the growing circulation of commercially produced textiles, while the straw hat adorned with flowers that she holds, distinctly Euro-American in style, signals the increasing presence of Western material culture. The generational pairing becomes quietly symbolic: the elder grounded in ancestral continuity while the child is poised within a world already reshaped by outside influence. Such tension mirrors the profound transformations Plains tribes experienced between the 1860s and 1900. Military conflict and the eventual confinement of tribes to reservations following campaigns such as the Great Sioux War (1876-77) fundamentally altered patterns of movement and governance. The near extermination of the buffalo in the 1870s dismantled the economic and spiritual foundation of Plains society, forcing dependence on federal provisions. Federal assimilation policies, culminating in the Dawes Act of 1887, further fractured communal landholding and encouraged the adoption of EuroAmerican customs, accelerating cultural disruption across generations. Within this historical context, Mulvany’s painting reads as more than an ethnographic study. It becomes a meditation on endurance amid upheaval: tradition and adaptation coexisting within a single family unit. Unlike the dynamic frontier imagery later popularized by Frederic Remington, Mulvany’s treatment is restrained and psychological. The drama lies not in action, but in the quiet negotiation between heritage and change, captured in the stillness of two figures set against the vast Plains.

(1810-1874) “The Lost Greenhorn” Watercolor, gouache, and pencil on cream wove paper Bears initials in ink lower right: A.J.M. Image/Sheet: 9.875” H x 13” W $40,000-60,000 Notes: This watercolor is likely among the earliest known versions of the composition, which Miller revisited repeatedly over his career. Additionally, it may have served as a preliminary study for the closely related 1851 oil painting now in the collection of the American Museum of Western Art (Anschutz Collection, formerly Jack Warner/ Gulf States Paper Corp.). The enduring appeal of the scene prompted Miller to create several additional versions in both watercolor and oil, each reflecting subtle variations in composition and scale. In the present watercolor, Miller positions the horse and rider prominently toward the left side of the picture plane, rendering them on a larger scale than in most later iterations. The horse’s powerful musculature and the rider’s tense posture create a sense of immediacy and drama, giving the figures an almost sculptural presence within the scene. In subsequent versions, except for the 1851 oil now in the collection of the American Museum of Western Art, Miller reduces the scale of the horse and rider, allowing the surrounding landscape to dominate and emphasizing the isolation and vulnerability of the lost traveler within the vast western wilderness. These variations, across the preliminary watercolor, the 1851 oil, and later iterations, suggest the artist’s reflection on his memory of the 1837 expedition, revealing an evolution in his approach and subtle stylistic shifts in his act of recollection. The differences among these versions indicate that Miller continually revisited and reinterpreted the subject, likely working from memory as he recreated scenes inspired by his experiences in the Rocky Mountains. The present watercolor and its closely related 1851 oil appear to represent an early stage in the composition development, in which the narrative drama of the misplaced rider remains central. Later treatments shift toward a broader evocation of the western landscape itself, underscoring the daunting scale and solitude of the frontier. As such, “The Lost Greenhorn” not only illustrates Miller’s engaging storytelling but also offers valuable insight into the development of one of his most enduring frontier narratives. Combining lively anecdote with keen observation, the work captures the humor, unpredictability, and vastness of life in the nineteenth-century American West, qualities that have secured Miller’s lasting place among the most important visual interpreters of the region.

Lillian Palmer (1871-1961) A table lamp with copper base and mica shade with kimono stencils

Likely executed 1909-1917; San Francisco Unmarked The trumpet base set with glass cabochons and mounted as a two-light lamp with Leviton fixtures, surmounted by a copper and mica shade designed by Lillian Palmer with a thin layer of Japanese screen printing stencils sandwiched between the layers of mica, electrified Overall: 16.5” H x 15” Dia. $2,000-4,000 Notes: This refined table lamp reflects Lillian Palmer’s important role in the California Arts and Crafts movement. The copper base has been sensitively repurposed into a sculptural lighting form while retaining its original patina and elegant proportions. Above, a conical mica shade encases Japanese kimono stencils between translucent panels. When illuminated, it casts a warm amber glow, and the textile motifs appear in soft silhouettes. The lamp was likely created between Palmer’s return from Japan in 1909 and the closing of her San Francisco shop in 1917, the most productive phase of her career. Her travels to Japan informed her understanding of traditional metalwork and design, and she frequently incorporated authentic bronzes and textiles into her studio production.

John James Audubon

(1785-1851) “The Quadrupeds of North America,” 1870-1871 Hardcover royal octavo in three volumes Audubon, John James and John Bachman. “The Quadrupeds of North America.” New York: George R. Lockwood, n.d. Fourth Edition Illustrated with 155 hand-colored lithographic plates using the original lithography stones from the 1850s first folio edition, each with tissue guard, each volume bound in full brown morocco with blind-stamped spines, gilt page edges, and marbled endpapers 3 pieces Each: 10.875” H x 7.875” W; Overall: 5.5” D $2,000-3,000 Notes: The folio edition containing 150 plates was published between 1845-48. A supplementary volume with only 6 plates came in 1854. These were hastily followed by the octavo in 31 parts (1849-51-54), “A miniature copy of the large edition” as the Audubon’s described it. The bound octavo edition has the same dates and contains 155 plates, being all those from the original folio, plus 5 of the 6 from the supplement. This edition, circa 1870, is published by Lockwood who took possession of the lithographic stones after Audubon’s bankruptcy. The quality of the plates were not diminished in these later printings. “In the 1830s, Audubon began to gather material for his Viviparous Quadrupeds meant to complete his record of animal life in North America. The contributors to the project included John Bachman, a naturalist and Lutheran minister, who wrote all of the descriptions and acted as scientific editor for the work, and Audubon’s two sons, John Woodhouse and Victor. With his sons, Audubon collected and drew specimens in the Eastern woodlands, Missouri, and the Rock Mountains, as well as in coastal regions of Florida and the East coast. Although Audubon’s health and eyesight began to fail, he managed to complete 77 drawings before illness kept him from his work.Together, the three men, along with Bachman, produced an unequaled record of American wildlife. Like the Birds of America, the Quadrupeds are wonderfully animated, superbly rendered, and beautifully printed.” Sabin 2368; Nissen 163; McGill/Wood 208; Bennett 5; Phillips Sporting 27; Meisel II 468.

Sharp. 91; indistinctly inscribed with the artist’s name on the upper stretcher, possibly in another hand; titled on the lower stretcher 24” H x 36” W $3,000-5,000 Provenance: Private estate, California Notes: Taos Society of Artists founding member Joseph Henry Sharp extensively trained in Europe, particularly in Munich, and his early style reflected the influence of the Munich School, which emphasized strong drawing, rich color, and dramatic lighting. After attending the McMicken School in Cincinnati where he studied art, and then the Cincinnati Academy of Art, Sharp first went to Europe at age 22 in 1881 where he studied under Charles Verlat in Antwerp, Belgium. Five years later he returned to Europe, this time enrolling at the Academy in Munich. Sharp applied the techniques learned in Europe to carefully observed portraits, wildlife and landscapes, using detailed brushwork and naturalistic color to capture accurate likenesses and atmosphere. “Stag at Bay” is a copy of a Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873) painting of the same name, painted in 1846 and then published as an engraving in 1848. Painted in 1891, the present work reflects in color palette, brushwork and subject, the artist’s Northern European education and influences and his direct replication of Landseer’s wildlife masterwork.

Some he trimmed, others he left as was [such as the impression offered here] .... For a second edition, printed in 1929, Baumann recut the blocks, trimming the entire image into a square format. Throughout all of the editions, colors vary, yet each style, owing to Baumann’s instinctive sense of design, is strong in its own right.” A family friend of the artist referenced this woodcut as part of a tribute she wrote after Baumann’s death in 1971. “I still cherish a print of marigolds in an oval frame that Gus traded my father for a German shepherd pup in 1924. I often think that Gus looked at New Mexico through a spectrum of marigold colors, set off by earth tones and splashes of green and blue. Even his skies are like marigold petals, yellow and orange and creamy white. Canyon walls and storm clouds vibrate with similar bright tones.” (Chamberlain, p. 189)

Fracé combined artistic skill with careful observation of animal anatomy and behavior, often studying specimens in museums and zoos to achieve realism. His illustrations appeared in natural history books, magazines, and museum displays, helping educate the public about wildlife long before nature photography became widespread. Through precise line work, lifelike poses, and naturalistic settings, Fracé’s artwork captured both the physical characteristics and the spirit of the animals he portrayed, like the present depiction of four bull elephants on the African savanna.

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.
