SINCE 1969

The Estate of Herbert and Ann Lucas

Los Angeles, CA

Ann and Bill Lucas lived life fully. One great expression of their love of life was their passion for the fine arts.

Bill’s mother was an amateur artist, so he grew up around and internalized the language and beauty of art. He was also insatiably curious. If you were the object of his inquiry, you learned quickly that he would spot critical issues about the topic at hand, and then he went deep. Ann was his partner every step of the way for 60 years.

Early in his professional career, Bill would take time wherever in the world he happened to be to learn about the local surroundings, people and histories. He began collecting art in his 20s and he never stopped, embarking on a nearly 80-year exploration of global art from neolithic times to the present day. For the last twenty-five years, Twentieth Century western art was the big focus of Ann and Bill’s collecting, especially British and selected American artists.

Pictured: Lots 1108 and 1109

Along the way, Bill combined his love of art, culture and history with his managerial skills, Chairing the Board of American Friends of the British Museum and serving as Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the JP Morgan Library in New York, and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, to name a few. His deepest institutional connection was with the J. Paul Getty Trust and Museum where he served as an active and engaged trustee. In recognition of his many years of service, he was elected an Emeritus Trustee. Throughout his travels he visited hundreds of museums, libraries and other centers for the arts on six continents. When it came to art and art history his knowledge was encyclopedic. Our family has now reached the end of an era. Ann predeceased Bill by six years and he passed away late in 2024 at age 98. Ann and Bill would be so pleased for their passion to be shared with the public, and to enable the next generation to explore and appreciate the work of great artists.

The Estate of Elaine Wynn

Elaine Wynn was a pioneering force in hospitality and a devoted patron of the arts and education. Her innate artistic vision and interest in design contributed to the creation of fantastical, otherworldly hotels that define the Las Vegas Strip, earning her the title “The Queen of Las Vegas.” Her impact — from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and across the country — is reflected not only in her professional accomplishments but also in her humanitarian contributions and her roles as a mother, and a friend. Raised between New York City and Miami Beach, she eventually settled in Nevada in the late 1960s, where her active civic leadership helped shape the cultural identity of her adopted home.

Today, John Moran Auctioneers is pleased to offer selections from Ms. Wynn’s estate, honoring a collector whose legacy upholds the belief that art, design, and fashion should be an accessible and shared human experience.

To celebrate the bequest of a large group of medals, prints, sketches, and artist’s notes from the studio of the Royal Academician Geoffrey Clarke, London’s British Museum mounted an exhibition devoted to his works in late 2020 and 2021, and wrote, “Trained in Lancaster and London in the aftermath of the Second World War, Clarke is recognised as an important sculptor of the post-war era, having worked on some of the most prestigious artistic projects of the age, including Coventry Cathedral and the Festival of Britain. No less significant was his activity as a medallist and a printmaker.... [The bequested materials]...offered a unique opportunity to witness the artist’s creative process in action. In particular, it showed the ways ideas and motifs were translated from bronze to paper and vice versa—and how sculptors such as Clarke approached prints not as flat objects, but as three-dimensional works of art.”

The British Museum owns two other impressions of the same large intaglio work as we are offering in our auction. “Warrior II” depicts a figure seen through the open observation hatch of an army tank. All three impressions are strikingly different in appearance. Whereas our impression is printed in a variegated midnight blue and black, the British Museum owns one example printed in black and white (1990.0303.37) and a second one printed in multiple colors (2001.0520.1). The cataloguing for the British Museum’s two impressions includes facts quoted from Frances Carey and Antony Griffiths’ book, “Avant-Garde British Printmaking 1914-1960,” (London: British Museum Publications, 1990), no. 205, “When shown at the Venice Biennale in 1960, the stated edition size was 25. But a typed note initialed by the artist on the back of the frame [of one impression] states: ‘An edition has never been printed. The plate was mislaid soon after proofing by Frelaut in Paris [at the Atelier Lacourière] in 1956.’ The contrast of the vulnerable organic head and the plate armour links the ideas of insecurity and aggression, and is not dissimilar in concept to Henry Moore’s ‘Helmet Head’ sculptures of 1950.’” The museum’s description goes on to say, “This print was made in August 1956 …. In September … [it was] taken to Paris where [it was] proofed by Jacques Frélaut at the Atelier Lacourière. [It] was pulled in black, ... but two colour proofs of this image were also made, with additions in gouache on several impressions … A colour impression of this print has since been acquired by the Department, see 2001,0520.1.” Could it be that the rich blue impression in our auction is the other “color proof” mentioned by the renowned print scholars Carey and Griffiths?

Notes:

In paintings like the present work, Vytlacil’s modernist style, particularly an understanding of the work of Cubist painters like Picasso that he had studied in Europe in the 1930s, is evident. Vytlacil plays with the notion of sound in a two-dimensional format of this musical composition as instruments and sheet music seemingly dance and move. The Cubist spatial fragmentation and reduction break from traditional perspectives to create a dynamic and expressively cohesive music-themed composition.

$1,500-2,000

Literature: Burne Jones 23

Notes:

According to Burne Jones, there was a posthumous edition of 100 impressions printed in 1973 via photo silkscreen in blue ink on heavy white Arches paper.

“The Lovers” is a striking example of Rockwell Kent’s ability to combine emotional intimacy with natural settings. In this intimate composition, two nude figures recline against a stark black background, their pale bodies rendered in smooth, sculptural forms. One figure lies peacefully with eyes closed, head cradled in the arm of the other, who gazes outward with a serene expression. The scene is framed by a few stylized ferns, adding a natural, Edenic touch to the otherwise barren space.

Typical of Kent’s printmaking style, Kent’s use of light and shadow is central to the emotional power of the image. The high contrast between the luminous bodies and the surrounding darkness creates a dramatic, almost theatrical effect. The figures are idealized, almost sculptural, recalling classical forms while also embodying Kent’s modernist leanings. Despite the simplicity of the setting, the wood engraving conveys a deep sense of intimacy and tranquility.

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.

(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.

ADDITIONAL MATTERS

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.

(a) Admission: The auction is open to the public, though Moran's reserves the right to refuse admission or participation to anyone at any time. The auctioneer may be recorded (visually, aurally or otherwise) and all participants consent to such recording.

(b) Buyer Registration: Prospective buyers must register with Moran's before bidding. Moran's may require identification and financial references in advance of buyer eligibility. Registered bidders accept personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium plus all applicable charges, unless Moran's agrees in advance that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Moran's. In such case, Moran's will look to the third party for payment.

(c) Bidding Guidelines: Bidding, whether in person, by agent, absentee bid, telephone, or internet, constitutes a bidder's acceptance of these conditions. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer retains the absolute right to reject any bid, to withdraw, pass or divide any lots, to combine multiple lots, to advance the bidding at his or her absolute discretion and (in the case of error or dispute, whether during or after the sale) to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, cancel the sale or to re-offer and sell the lot in question. Under no circumstances are the consignors' or agents acting on their behalf, permitted to bid on their consignment. In the event of any dispute after the auction Moran's sale record shall be conclusive.

(d) Absentee, Telephone and Internet Bidding: Moran's offers absentee, telephone and internet bidding as a convenience to clients and does not accept liability for errors or failures to execute such bids. Absentee and telephone bids must be recognized by Moran's prior to auction day. When identical absentee bids are submitted that become the highest bids at the auction, the bid first received by Moran's shall be accepted as the winning bid. Telephone bidders are encouraged to leave minimum bids in case of technical failure.

(e) Reserves: Unless indicated 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's 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 backwards at his 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. Buyer's Premium is calculated as follows: 25% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 18% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 15% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer. Successful bidders using Live Auctioneers platform will be charged a Buyer’s Premium of: 30% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 23% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 20% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer.

Credit card payments will be subject to an additional 3.5% acceptance fee. This fee is not more than the cost of accepting these cards. Buyers outside the United States must submit payment via wire transfer. 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's within five business days immediately following the auction. The buyer shall not acquire title or take possession of the lot until all amounts (including the hammer price, premium and applicable taxes) due to Moran's have been paid in full.

(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 lot is undertaken by Moran's solely as a convenience to customers. Moran's is not liable for damage to property, regardless of cause, in connection with this courtesy service

(c) Storage: Following the auction, uncollected lots shall be relocated to and stored in Moran's warehouse. Moran's 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's 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.

(d) Shipping: Buyers are responsible for arranging their own shipping estimates and deliveries. Moran's in our discretion and as a courtesy to buyers, can arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded by a third-party shipper at the request, expense and risk of the buyer. Moran's assumes no responsibility for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by other packers or carriers, even if recommended by Moran's. Nor does Moran's assume any responsibility for any damage to picture frames or to the glass therein. In circumstances where Moran's arranges for such third-party services, Moran's may apply an administration charge of 15% of that service fee.

(e) All Sales Final: Notwithstanding other terms mentioned herein, refunds shall be given at Moran's sole discretion. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be made within 10 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, 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 above 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's in the same condition as when sold. Moran's 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's 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 Moran's nor the consignor or our 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.

(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) Regulated Species: Lots with a "◊" symbol in the printed or digital catalog, or noted within the condition report of a lot, may contain regulated plant or animal materials and could be subject to certain import or export restrictions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and obtain any required import or export permits / licenses. The inability to obtain any such document(s) is not grounds for requesting a refund nor does it negate the buyer from making full payment for their purchase.

(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.

If Moran's 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.
