Lot 54
Elizabeth O’Neill Verner
Welcome!
It is a pleasure to have you at our May Consignment Auction as we
celebrate our 20th year of offering the best in Early Provincetown Art. We
are thrilled to have James Bakker bringing down the hammer once again
for an exciting evening of live bidding.
This auction highlights a number of very important artists including Milton
Avery, Oliver Chaffee, Nancy Maybin Ferguson, Charles W. Hawthorne,
Daisy Hughes, Ross Moffett, and George Yater among many others.
Of particular interest is Lot 54, an oil painting by Elizabeth O’Neill Verner
entitled A Street in Provincetown from 1926. Verner was well known for
her street scenes of Charleston and natural habitats of South Carolina’s
Lowcountry. The Provincetown painting is in a vernacular that Verner
preferred, “narrow streets with pointed shadows making patterns on
buildings opposite…” Conservatively valued at $10,000 – 15,000, this rare
gem also features a sketch on the reverse side of the painting.
The proceeds of this auction directly benefit our exhibitions and
educational initiatives. Presenting over 100 programs, lectures, panels
and concerts annually, as well as a comprehensive schedule of exhibitions,
PAAM is dedicated to serving Cape Cod, the membership and the public.
Our next auction is scheduled for Saturday, September 16, 2006 so make
sure to mark your calendars. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

ABSENTEE BIDDING
Please bid on my behalf at your auction on May 20, 2006 for the
following Lot(s) up to the prices indicated on this Absentee Bid Form.
These bids are to be executed as cheaply as is permitted by other
bids or reserves. PAAM assumes no responsibility for errors or failure
to execute these bids. By leaving these bids, I indicate my acceptance
of and compliance with the PAAM Conditions of Sale as printed in
the Auction Catalog. I will be responsible for the purchase price,
buyer’s premium, any applicable state tax and shipping costs on
each lot I bid for successfully.
PAAM packs and handles purchased lots solely as a courtesy to
clients. Charges for this service include labor, materials and postage
or freighting and insurance. PAAM is not responsible for the insurance
on a lot once the title has been transferred. In no event will PAAM
be liable for damage to glass or frames, regardless of cause. PAAM
may refuse to execute packing and shipping instructions on items
that in their judgment are too fragile or too valuable for delivery by
common carrier. Shipments will be made in order of payments
received.
I understand that the bidding on each lot will open at half of the
low estimate. Accepted bidding increments for absentee bids are as
follows: $500-1,000, $50; $1,000-3,000, $100; $3,000-5,000, $250;
over $5,000, $500.
Please note that the bidding may fall against you in the audience
when there is active competition for a lot. For instance, if you have
left a bid of $1,000 and there is someone in the audience bidding for
the same lot, the auctioneer may take a $950 bid from the person
representing you. The next bid -- $1,000 -- will fall to the person in
the audience. To ensure that you do not lose in this case, you may
authorize us to increase your bid by one increment beyond your
maximum bid to try to break this “tie” with the audience by checking
the appropriate column on this bid form (PLUS ONE).
