Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with great enthusiasm that we present this Fine Art Auction.
With thirty years experience as a full service, quality fine arts
business specializing in the sale and appraisal of fine art, we are
proud to bring the works of art in this sale to auction.
Included in this sale is an important collection of 19th & 20th century
fine art, folk art and collectibles from the Estate of Betty Lacey
Gordon. Throughout her life, Betty explored the world as a mother,
a journalist, a generous patron of the arts and a consummate
connoisseur of life. As well-known at Giverny as at her home in
Chadds Ford, Betty avidly collected what she liked. Her astute eye
was as keen for paintings, sculpture and folk art as it was for fashion.
On December 5th 2009 Fuller’s Fine Art Auctions will offer a selection
of pieces from Betty’s collections of designer jewelry and fashion.
Betty’s commitment to the cause of helping persons with
emotional, developmental and educational disabilities through her
support of the Devereux Foundation was paramount. Proceeds
from the October 3rd and December 5th sale of items from Betty’s
estate will ultimately support Devereux’s mission to change lives
and nurture human potential. It is with this legacy of joy, humor
and compassion that we honor Betty Gordon.
As the founder and director of Fuller’s Fine Art Auctions and Jeffrey
Fuller Fine Art, Ltd., I thank all of the Consignors of the works that
we are pleased to offer for sale through this auction. I am indebted
to our wonderful staff, especially Jim Robinson, Marie Woodward,
and Gary Pelkey, who have carefully and thoroughly prepared all
that will make this auction a success. And most of all, I thank you
the bidders and buyers without whom there would be no sale.
Thank you,
Jeffrey P. Fuller
Director

Fuller’s LLC (The “Auction Company”) Terms and Conditions of Sale
1. This auction is a public sale conducted by a Pennsylvania licensed and
bonded auctioneer.
2. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the Buyer. In
the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to
the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion either to
determine the successful bidder or to reoffer and resell the article in dispute.
If any dispute arises after the sale, Fuller’s LLC’s sale record is conclusive.
3. All property is sold “AS IS” and neither Fuller’s LLC nor the Consignor makes
any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied,
with respect to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other
descriptions of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size,
quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical
relevance of the property or otherwise, except where applicable under the
terms of guarantee. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall
be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. All bidders are
responsible for obtaining condition reports and/or personally inspecting the
property before bidding to determine its condition, size, and whether or not
it has been restored. Any items purchased and removed from the auction
cannot be returned.
4. Fuller’s LLC reserves the right to withdraw any lot and/or property before the
sale.
5. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid which, in his opinion, is
not commensurate with the value of the article being offered. The auctioneer
may also reject any bid that may be determined as having a harmful effect
on the item in question or the sale as a whole.
6.
All bids are by numbered lots in the catalog unless otherwise announced by
the auctioneer.
7. Some of the lots in the sale may be subject to a reserve. The reserve is a
confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Fuller’s LLC
below which the lot will not be sold. A representative of Fuller’s LLC will
execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. The reserve will never be
higher than the low estimate.
8. Title of each lot passes when the auctioneer says “SOLD”. Thereafter, any
loss by fire, theft, breakage, or any other cause is the sole responsibility of
the Buyer. Merchandise must be packed and transported by the Buyer at
his/her own risk and expense. Shipping is the responsibility of the Buyer. If
any employee or agent of Fuller’s LLC packs or transports the merchandise,
it is fully at the risk, responsibility and expense of the Buyer and Fuller’s
LLC shall not be liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by such
employee or agent. The Buyer is responsible for any duties and taxes related
to international shipments.
42
9. A buyer’s premium will be added to the successful bid and is payable by
the Buyer as part of the total purchase price. The buyer’s premium for
each individual lot is 18% of the successful bid price up to and including
$500,000, and 15% on any amount in excess of $500,000. There is a 3%
discount offered for all payments made by means of cash, check, or wire
transfer. Buyer is responsible for all wire transfer fees. This amount will be
added to the successful bid price of each lot purchased and is payable by
the Buyer together with the applicable sales tax, which is applied to the total
cost of the purchase. Payment is due no later than 15 days after the auction
date. All bidders must submit a MasterCard or Visa account number with
the expiration date as a security deposit. Fuller’s LLC reserves the right to
charge the total invoice amount plus an additional 2% handling fee to the
credit card account on record if the bidder has not paid within 15 days of
the auction date. The pick-up or delivery should also be arranged at time of
payment. Storage fees of $5 per lot per business day or $25 per lot per week
will be charged for items left more than 30 days after the auction. Items
left more than 45 days past the auction date will be consigned to a future
auction without notification to the Buyer.
10. Unless purchased for resale, the Buyer will be required to pay the applicable
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Sales Tax and the City of Philadelphia Sales
Tax. Dealers must have a Sales Tax Number and be registered with Fuller’s
LLC.
11.
Payment may be made by cash, credit card (Visa or MasterCard), PayPal, or
by wire transfer. Payment may be made by personal check only if credit has
been previously established with Fuller’s LLC or if Fuller’s LLC has received
a bank authorization guaranteeing the personal check. Fuller’s LLC reserves
the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check
has cleared the bank, if Fuller’s LLC deems such action necessary to protect
Fuller’s LLC’s interest.
12. Bidding on any item indicates the bidder’s acceptance of these terms and all
other terms published or announced before and at the time of sale.
13. Fuller’s LLC has engaged the services of Live Auctioneers as a service
for its clients who wish to bid and buy online. Please proceed to www.
liveauctioneers.com for all necessary information on how to bid and buy
online using their system. The user of Live Auctioneers indemnifies and
holds the Auction Company and its consignors harmless against any claim
arising out of or resulting from their use of the Live Auctioneers website,
including all losses, damages, liabilities, and all fees (including attorney’s
fees), costs, and expenses incurred in connection with any claim. Under
no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall the
Auction Company and its consignors be liable for lost profits or any special,
incidental, or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the
inability to use, this website. If the user of Live Auctioneers places absentee
bid(s) with the Auction Company, Live Auctioneers and also bids in person,
by phone or by any other means, it is solely the bidder’s responsibility
to cancel any or all absentee bids prior to the start of the auction. If the
bidder does not or cannot, regardless of any reason, the bidder will be held
responsible for the purchase of the property.
43
14. Fuller’s LLC accepts absentee bids in person, by mail, or by fax. Absentee
bids should be received no later than 12 Noon on the last business day
preceding the auction. Please call Fuller’s LLC to confirm receipt of any faxed
absentee bids. All absentee bids are handled as though the bidder is in
attendance. These bids are executed by a designated Fuller’s LLC employee.
A 25% deposit is required on all absentee bids. Fuller’s LLC buys all absentee
bid designated lots for the bidder at one bidding increment above where
all competition stops bidding, as long as the absentee bid has not already
been surpassed by the bidding at the auction. Please check and comply
with these bidding increments. In case of failure to meet these terms, Fuller’s
LLC will reduce each bid not at an acknowledged bidding increment to
the next lower bidding increment. Due to Fuller’s LLC’s structured bidding
increments, it is very likely that several people will leave identical bids. The
earlier absentee bid left with the Auction Company wins in the event of a
tie bid. All absentee bids placed on Live Auctioneers are sent to the Auction
Company during the actual sale at the time the lot is being offered for sale.
There is no time advantage to these absentee bids at all. All absentee bidder
names and bids are held in strictest confidence, disclosed only in the event
of a question after the sale. Absentee bidding is a convenience offered
to Fuller’s LLC’s customers and, while Fuller’s LLC will make every effort
to execute the bidder’s instructions, the Auction Company is not liable or
responsible for any errors or failure to do so. If the bidder places absentee
bids with the Auction Company, Live Auctioneers and also bids in person, by
phone or any other means, it is solely the bidder’s responsibility to cancel any
or all absentee bids prior to the start of the auction. If the bidder does not or
cannot cancel these bids, regardless of any reason, the bidder will be held
responsible for the purchase of the property.
15. Telephone lines designated for telephone bidding are available on a first
come, first served basis. Please reserve a telephone line as soon as possible.
Telephone lines must be reserved in person or by telephone no later than
12 Noon on the last business day before the auction. Unauthorized faxed
requests for telephone lines are not accepted. The bidder should first
determine the lots on which the bidder wishes to bid before requesting a
phone line reservation. Please request and review condition reports for these
lots in advance of reserving a phone line. Fuller’s LLC will contact the bidder
at only one phone number during the auction. Fuller’s LLC suggests that the
bidder submits absentee bids if the bidder is unsure of his/her whereabouts
at the time of the sale. All requests for overseas telephone lines must be
accompanied by absentee bids which will be executed on the bidder’s
behalf in the event of any problems with the telephone connection. It is the
responsibility of the bidder to confirm his/her phone number and the lots to
be bid upon by twenty-four hours before the auction. The bidder should not
change the phone number after that phone number has been confirmed.
If the bidder’s phone number changes, the Auction Company reserves the
right to refuse the bidder’s bid by telephone in this auction and will not be
responsible for any breakdown in communications.
Fuller’s LLC strongly recommends the use of telephone land lines, which are
often more reliable than mobile telephone lines. When bidding by phone,
the bidder must be willing to bid up to the low estimate if the competitive
bidding goes as high as the low estimate. There is absolutely no exception
to this rule. However, the bidder may leave absentee bids for any amount
44
on any lot. Bids are placed on the telephone at the discretion of the Auction
Company and at the caller’s risk. Fuller’s LLC offers telephone bidding as
a convenience to its customers. While Fuller’s LLC will make every effort
to execute the bidder’s instructions, the Auction Company is not liable or
responsible for any errors or failure to do so.
16. All items advertised in this catalog for sale by auction, with a minimum
presale estimate of $1,000 and higher, have, insofar as they are uniquely
identifiable from the description given, been checked against the
computerized database of stolen or lost artwork, antiquities and other
cultural objects maintained by the Art Loss Register. A search certificate
can be provided by the Art Loss Register for an additional fee. The Art Loss
Register can be reached by mail at 108 West 39th Street, Suite 506, New York,
New York, 10018, or by email at [email protected]. The Art Loss Register cannot,
however, guarantee the provenance of any cataloged item against which
they search, and will not be liable for any direct or consequential losses of
any nature howsoever arising. This statement is not to affect, detract from, or
override Fuller’s LLC’s Terms and Conditions of Sale, and in the event of any
conflict, the Terms and Conditions of Sale will take priority to the terms of
this statement.

Fuller’s LLC Terms of Guarantee
1. Fuller’s LLC warrants the authenticity of Authorship of each lot contained
in this catalog on the terms and conditions set forth below. “Authorship”
is defined as the creator, period, culture, source of origin, as the case may
be, as set forth in the heading of a lot in this catalog, with exception of
amendments by any oral or written sales-room notices or announcements.
All other warranties of authenticity of authorship express or implied, are
hereby disclaimed as Buyer shall take each lot “as is” and with all faults and
errors of description.
2. Fuller’s LLC warrants the Authorship of a lot for a period of 15 days from the
date of the sale of such lot and only to the original Buyer of record at the
auction. If it is determined to Fuller’s LLC’s satisfaction that the heading is
45
incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to Fuller’s
LLC in the same condition in which it was at the time of the sale. It is also
Fuller’s LLC’s general policy to have the Buyer obtain at the Buyer’s expense
the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field,
mutually acceptable to Fuller’s LLC and the Buyer, before Fuller’s LLC
determines whether to rescind the sale under the above warranty.
3.
The Buyer’s sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of authorship
of any lot shall be rescission of the sale and restitution of the original
purchase price and premium paid by such Buyer. Fuller’s LLC hereby
disclaims all liability for any damages, incidental, consequential or otherwise,
arising out of or in connection with any sale to the Buyer.
4. Names printed in bold letters in the catalog which identify a lot specifically
as the work of the named artist or author shall mean that the work is by
the named artist or author, i.e. if the name of the artist is printed in bold
letters without a question mark and without any qualifying phrase such as
“attributed to,” “circle of,” or “after.” Bold and italicized names in the catalog
which attribute the work to a named artist or author shall mean that the
work is of a period or school of the artist or author, but is not, with certainty,
by the named artist or author. This may also be indicated with a question
mark following the name of the author.
5. Exclusions - Notwithstanding any other provision of these “Terms of
Guarantee”, Fuller’s LLC disclaims all warranties of authenticity of authorship
for all lots consisting of works of fine art by or “attributed to” artists, authors
or persons living before 1870 and, when no artist, author or person is so
identified, works attributed to a period which includes any date prior to
1870, and all warranties relating to the identification of the periods or dates
of execution of property, which may be proven inaccurate.
6. Definitions of statements:
a. “Attributed to “ - work is of the period of the named artist and may be the
work of that artist, but not definitely so.
b. “Circle of” - work of the period closely associated with the artist or from the
studio of the artist.
