Terms of Sale
1. All items are sold as is, where is, with
all faults. There are no warranties or
representations of merchantability, of fitness,
nor of any other kind, express or implied.
All items are available for your examination
prior to bidding. Your bidding will signify
that you have examined the items as fully
as you desire, or that you have chosen
not to examine them. Written and oral
descriptions are our opinions and should
in no way be construed as a guarantee of
any kind as to age, condition, materials or
any other feature of items being sold. Our
goal is to provide prospective bidders with
accurate and detailed information. We
recommend prospective bidders examine
all items in which they have an interest. If
you require absolute certainty in all areas
of authenticity, and the results of your
evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind,
we recommend you not bid on the item
in question. We do not give refunds. All
sales are final. No statement written or oral
made by the auctioneer shall be deemed a
warranty or assumption of liability by Brunk
Auctions or by any seller represented by
Brunk Auctions.
2. If a lot is offered with a reserve price,
the reserve price is printed following the
description and bidding will begin at that
price. Otherwise bidding will begin at a
price appropriate in auctioneer’s discretion.
The auctioneer always reserves the right
to withdraw a lot for any reason he deems
appropriate. At the auctioneer's discretion,
no bid of less than one half the low estimate
will be accepted from any source: phone
bidding, absentee bidding, internet bidding,
or bidding in the gallery. On lots with a
printed reserve, bidding will begin at the
reserve price.
3. Once we declare that an item is sold, we
cannot reopen the bidding. It is the bidder’s
responsibility to get our attention prior to
our saying “sold”. We reserve the right to
reject any bids deemed inappropriate or to
withdraw any item(s) for lack of appropriate
bids. If an item is withdrawn from the
auction it will be offered again only at the
auctioneer’s discretion.
4. Payment must be made by cash, approved
check, wire transfer, or MasterCard and Visa
credit cards. We reserve the right to require
bank checks for large purchases. Buyers not
known to us who wish to write a check must
provide a current letter of credit from their
bank guaranteeing funds for that account.
Credit arrangements must be made by the
Friday prior to the day of auction so bank
statements can be verified. We reserve the
right to not issue a buyer’s number or to
withhold merchandise if appropriate credit
has not been established. We require wire
transfers, bank checks or credit cards for
international buyers.
5. Payment for all purchases is expected at time
of purchase. Payment for successful absentee,
phone bids and online bids are required
within five business days of the auction. Your
signature on this form constitutes permission
to charge successful bids to credit cards if
payment is not received within five days of
the auction.
6. We are pleased to offer absentee and
phone bidding for prospective bidders
who cannot be present at the auction.
Please complete the Absentee Bid and/or
Phone Reservation form. Absentee bids are
executed competitively and confidentially.
All reservations for phone bidding are
held in the strictest confidence and must
be received by 5 pm the day before the
auction. No additional phone bids can
be accepted on the day of the auction
including additions when speaking with a
staff person on the phone. We can accept
written absentee bids submitted on the
Absentee Bid Form up to 30 lots before
the item comes up for auction. Leaving an
absentee or phone bid on a lot indicates your
willingness to open the bidding at one half the
printed low estimate, and gives the auctioneer
the authority to open the bidding at that level,
or to open the bidding on a lot with a printed
reserve at the reserve price. Brunk Auctions
shall have the right to withdraw any item at
any time for any reason and to default any sale
in the event of an error or dispute.
7. In the case of identical absentee bids, the
bid received first will prevail. Bids left on
liveauctioneers.com are not executed until
the item is offered in the live auction
and the order in which they are received
is not a factor. We sell 70-100 lots
per hour. Following are general guidelines
for bidding increments:
any loss or damage to shipped items.
10.Note to internet absentee bidders. We do
not accept cut bids, (bids less than the last
interval) from the floor or from phone
bidders, and we do not accept them from
internet bidders. Thus it is possible that a
lot could go to another bidder for less than
your absentee bid. For example, if the bids
are progressing in ten dollar increments,
$50, $60, $70 and your absentee falls
at $75, we will not take the bid since it
is less than the $10 interval. We always
encourage bidders to bid by phone or to
leave absentee bids through our gallery to
avoid such a situation.
11.All purchases are subject to 6.75% North
Carolina sales tax unless the North Carolina
Certificate of Resale tax form is fully and
completely filled out and received prior to
time of purchase. Resale tax numbers from
other states are accepted. International
buyers are responsible for tariffs, taxes, or
assessments of shipped items to the buyer’s
country.
12.Bidding on an item indicates your
understanding and acceptance of these
Terms of Sale. If a purchaser breaches
any of these Terms of Sale, including the
obligation to pay for purchased items,
Brunk Auctions may seek all remedies
under the law including canceling the
sale and reoffering the property without
reserve.

to the purchase price of all items. For

A
llan Gurganus, author of Oldest Living Confederate
Widow Tells All, delivered a eulogy for his colleague Reynolds Price at the American Academy of Arts
and letters in New York City on April 7, 2011. Price, the
James B. Duke Professor of English at Duke, his alma
mater, passed away January 20. Our sincere thanks to
Alan Gurganus for his permission to reprint that eulogy:
Eulogy for Reynolds Price
Storytelling aloud, doing all the accents—(while
incidentally saving some young academic couple’s first
dinner party)—Reynolds Price embodied a narrative
force, a charm unmet before and never likely again.
If his prose came clear and conversational, his conversation could be opulent, allusive. Author of thirtyMariana R. Cook, 1986
seven books in all known genres, his every observation
brought its own character witness: I mean Reynolds’
God-like James Mason bass-baritone. (If that voice told you how one afternoon in Rome in 1961, while Richard
Burton was in another room, Liz Taylor sort of put the moves on beautiful boy Reynolds, the sheer timbre of telling
made you feel an infidel for doubting.)
Reynolds was fluent in Aramaic, at ease in ancient Greek. And he was rightly proud of his North Carolina
memory. Once asked to talk about his first-grade class—Reynolds smiled, “Left to right or right to left?”
His choicest stories, breathed and written, leapt as a birthright from his rural Warren County. Reynolds’
novels benefit from his having memorized all the parables of Christ. Price’s own prose sounds a sweet clear certainty we hear in ‘The Book of Ruth’. Like that work, his fiction typically considers worthy people, secure only in
family ties, tested by death or poverty, folks who, thanks to memory then forgiveness, somehow endure.
Reynolds Price could be a very funny man. His humor was insinuating, cracked, and at peace with the human body. Since the books he loved most were the Bible and Paradise Lost—from those he’d founded a Christian
notion that all of us have fallen but some have visibly slipped, if not lower than others, then a bit more volitionally, strategically. And these become the storytellers, the feelers, the first-rate first-grade rememberers. Reynolds
was all of those combined. Juggling gifts, he was like Isaac Newton tossing all the apples back up.
The worst year of the Depression was 1933, when Reynolds Price appeared in Macon, North Carolina. He
remained an only child till his brother, Bill, the distinguished historian, arrived less than a decade later. But Reynolds remained for that time the single kid among a bevy of great-aunts and grandparents, folks ready to adore and
get him talking. He complied. In early photographs he shines like some MGM feature-player. A dark-eyed pretty
child, he opened into the comic intelligence that forever lit his family’s home. He’d been born a prodigy. For all
that Existence first granted him—then later seemed, via poor health, to withdraw—Reynolds Price remained precocious a full 77 years.
Duke University saw his brilliance at 18 and took him unto itself. After a Rhodes scholarship, and acquaintance with Auden and Spender, the prodigal returned to publish at age 29, A Long and Happy Life. It is still
my candidate for best novel by the youngest person. A short parlous tale of happy people, it loves its young characters into being then absolves them of crimes their own loves require. Most novelists don’t emerge till after 40,
after realizing their own mortality by enduring at least three divorces, after delivering too many eulogies of friends.
But Reynolds seemed born knowing and laughing. His social poise was peerless and the one mistake he ever
readmitted he made in this very building. Reynolds regretted it ever-after: he went to introduce Stephen Sondheim
then said instead “Stephen Spielberg”. He’d rue this slip aloud a dozen times.
Price’s poems and novels understand how a landscape shapes its citizens. His prose has by heart the
names of every bird and wildflower. We likewise feel his deep acceptance of sin and mortality as the very things
that give us all our color.

From the start, people knew him as a boy—if one who had already made literature. Price grew up to be,
with his Bible translations, his poems, plays and essays, an old-fashioned Man of Letters, on Victor Hugo’s scale
of pursuit-production. In this, he resembles our much-missed colleague John Updike. They both danced a Virginia
reel among the genres. Both had so much to say about so many things, they always seemed to be playing doubles
against any single subject.
Reynolds’ state of buoyant blessedness darkened at age 51. The aggressive treatment of a spinal
malignancy killed both the cancer and his ability to walk. Typical of Reynolds to find, almost at once, immobility’s every hidden benefit. Always a closet pasha, he rightly pointed out: most writers would secretly prefer to be
wheeled by some literate young person from their desk to a waiting meal and, after some stimulating (if brief)
conversation, back to the desk again.
I’ll devote just five sentences to his positive influence on me, a fellow North Carolinian 15 years his junior.
Not long after I’d escaped our native state, Reynolds read my first stories and summoned me back from Palo Alto
to teach at Duke. He’d reeled me back, half against my will, to a state I felt belonged to my family, not me. (Being
24, I had Corfu in mind!) This native’s return was eased by my seeing Reynolds’ own lair—its Rembrandt etchings,
ancient Russian icons, death masks of Blake and Keats, and more than a few superb new portraits of—somehow,
naturally—Reynolds Price. I saw how daily he worked. He showed me: talent is never an excuse to coast. Talent
is the one reason to struggle. From Reynolds I learned just three things: how to work, what to write about, and
where.
His home still contains a wall of books, in chronological order, all first editions, each of course, by Reynolds Price. In that glass case, across its nearly 40 titles, there is not a careless or hurried sentence, not a banal
thought, not one image unfelt before being dentally polished and aligned. His is, I think, a truly humane and unified contribution to our literature. It is lasting because it feels as natural, as inevitably breathed-into as some deep
clear Schubert song.
But what we remember best is his warming voice, his total recall, his suave simplicity when relaxed and at
his funniest. Born Depression-poor, rightly praised from the beginning, there was always something of the prince
about Reynolds Price. And, as with worthy royals, visible adversity became, in his hands, a new and deepening
subject. His scope of talent was never insisted on, merely exercised and daily. Not assumed, enjoyed.

Between 1883 and 1895, Cliffs of Green River - Wyoming Territory was likely exhibited and sold. In 1895, the watercolor was
photographed in the dining room of the consignors family residence and appears in a 1910 family appraisal as “matted and in a 6”
ornamental gold frame”. It remained in the family, having moved to the current consigner’s residence in 1937.
This watercolor will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist’s works being compiled by Stephen L. Good and
Phyllis Braff.
