manager of the artist’s ranch and the Salty Dog Cattle Company,
which was also owned by the artist.

The Trapper was one of the principal characters Jackson chose
to sculpt as models for a mural painting depicting the French

Due to a disagreement with the Museum, the mural was never
installed. Other characters in the mural were also made into
models that eventually became some of the artists’s most important bronze sculptures.

In a monograph on the artist’s work published by Kennedy Galleries, an attempt is made to describe all that is compacted into Harry
Jackson’s The Pony Express Rider;
“A man, a horse, a gun in hand, a high moment in the saga of the American Frontier.”
“You hear the beat of hooves on hard-packed dirt. You feel the surrounding air of Western heat. You share the rhythm of pulse and breathe of
man and horse riding, running, racing as a single creature across the plain from St. Joe to Sacramento. You smell the dust, the leather, the sweat
of man and beast and in the moment the acrid tang of gun smoke – and hear the single, precise report of the carefully aimed and squeezed off
round.”
Pony Express was Jackson’s first absolute statement of form in joining painting and sculpture. Some collectors were not pleased with
his use of color on bronze. Most were unaware that the Greek, Roman, and other ancient cultures painted their stone and bronze
sculpture. Harry was borrowing from the past to create living sculpture that also contained elements drawn from his earlier experiences in abstract expressionism. The authors of Jackson’s biography state that “Pony Express cannot be described simply as a joining of
color and volume. There is no doubt that the image is three dimensional, and yet it also operates as though it were part of a painting.” There
are few Western subject matter artists as complex in their thinking and execution as Harry Jackson.

A graduate of Pratt Institute, New York, NY, McCarthy studied at the Art Students League,
New York, while still a teenager. For five decades thereafter, he was renowned as an illustrator
of action scenes for paperback books, movie posters and advertisements. In 1968, he left the
commercial world to pursue his passion for subjects drawn from the taming of the American
West on horseback. His well deserved moniker was; “The Dean of Western Action Paintings”.
McCarthy immortalized the Western saga through confrontations between the lawful and
lawless, and through archetypal tension in the lives of heroes such as mountain men, Native
People, and the U.S. Calvary. Beginning in 1977, his work was featured in retrospectives at
the Museum of the Southwest, Midland TX; the R.W. Norton Museum, Shreveport, LA, the
Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa OK, and the Cowboy Artists of America Museum, Kerrville, TX. McCarthy was an active member of the CAA from 1975 to 1998. He was a subject of numerous
catalogues and monographs, including; The Western Paintings of Frank McCarthy (1974, Ballentine Books), the limited-edition Frank C. McCarthy (1992 Greenwich Workshop).

to establish ranches, schools, and stores in the northern part of the
state. Her maternal grandparents lived in southern Arizona during
that same period and founded cattle ranches, businesses and Indian
trading posts. Today her family continues to make their living cattle
ranching in the northern regions of Arizona.

Oil on canvas

Estimate; $25,000 to $30,000
A native of New Mexico, Gary Niblett frequently depicts the Native Americans from the Land of Enchantment. The present offering is typical of his approach to his subject matter. In an interview recorded in Cowboy Artists of America, Desert Hawk Publishing,
1988, Niblett remarks;
“In my paintings, I like to reflect on the quieter moments of someone going about his daily life, the aftermath of the storm rather than the storm
itself…. More often than not, I find myself being drawn to an earlier time – a time of horse drawn wagons, small picturesque villages, quaint
and colorful clothing of bygone years. There is something very charming and aesthetically appealing in these things that can’t be found in more
modern day settings.”
Niblett is an award winning member of the Cowboy Artists of America. His art has been exhibited in China, France, Germany, Russia, and Taiwan.
Provenance;
Formerly in the collection of Burt Reynolds.

Oil on canvas
24 by 30 inches
Estimate; $18,000 - $24,000
George Phippen grew up around horses, cattle and cowboys. This early environment was to play a significant role in his development into a major western artist.Western author Don Hedgepeth stated that Phippen was called “ the cowboy artist,” because his
“cowboys” look like men we have all known. They aren’t handsome, but they sure do know cow.” He lived in Prescott, Arizona
from 1949 until 1959 when he moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, returning to Arizona in 1961. Upon his return he purchased
a ranch. Along with Joe Beeler, Johnny Hampton and Charlie Dye, he was one of the founders of the Cowboy Artists of America in
1965 and was selected as its first president. Unfortunately, he was to die of cancer before the organization’s first exhibition at the
National Cowboy Hall of Fame. Author James Howard, in Ten Years With the Cowboy Artists of America, speaks to the importance of
George Phippen when he stated, “His was a life cut short, but his example was an inspiration to fellow artists and working cowboys
alike. His position in the Cowboy Artists of America is at the head of the list.”

Delano was born in Massachusetts and took full advantages of excellent art education offered in the east. He studied at the Art Students League and the Grand Central School of Art. The remarkable list of instructors who helped
build his career included George Bridgeman, Dean Cornwell, Harvey Dunn, Frank Vincent Du Mond, and N.C. Wyeth.
Delano’s successful commercial career included illustrations for Collier’s, Cosmopolitan, Western Story and a variety of other magazines. His knowledge of the West was bolstered by travels to Colorado where he worked as a ranch hand. In the early 1920’s, he
established a home/studio in Summit County, Colorado, on Cataract Creek and in 1933 he moved to Denver, Colorado permanently.
Delano dedicated himself to easel painting by the early 1940s. Many of the paintings documented the Navajo people, with whom
Delano became familiar in 1943 when he made his first trip to Arizona. These works received local accolades as illustrations in the
Empire sections of the Denver Post from 1947 to 1970.
Sometimes romantic, at other times narrative, Delano simplified his compositions, using soft, atmospheric pastels with brilliant accents. Design was his forte. He exercised his skills in historic tableaux featuring Plains and Northwest Indians and in contemporary
landscapes with flaming sunsets or approaching storms. His work was more stylized than most of his fellow artists. The Hunter is a
prime example of his singular technique and use of vibrant colors that pushed the boundaries of realistic art of the time. In recent
years there has been a revitalized interest in his art. As a result, numerous paintings by Delano have sold well into the six figures.
One of his paintings sold publicly in 2008 for $1,247,000.
Delano was a member of the Cowboy Artists of America, showing with the organization in 1968 and 1969. His biographer, Richard
D. Bowman, published the monograph Walking with Beauty – The Art and Life of Gerald Curtis Delano in 1990 in conjunction with
a major retrospective of 70 Works at The Colorado History Museum, Denver Co. Delano’s works are found in numerous museums,
including the Eiteljorg Museum, Indianapolis, IN., The Wooloroc, Bartlesville OK, and The American Art Museum, Smithsonian
Washington D.C.

Watcher of the Plains
Signed; ‘C.M Russell © (Buffalo Skull Symbol) 1901, Stamped Calif. Art Bronze Fnry.”, at base
Bronze
Estimate; $70,000 to $90,000
Watcher of the Plains depicts a Piegan Blackfeet warrior named White Quiver. The same Indian, in every detail appears in the artist’s painting Horse Thieves that pre-dates the sculpture. White Quiver, who lived during Russell’s time, was noted for his daring
exploits on horse stealing expeditions. In Charles M. Russell Sculpture, Nancy Russell’s the artist’s wife describes the Indian seated
on a high point looking for game or enemies;
“You can tell the wind is blowing softly…He has a sawed off flintlock gun or fewk. In his belt is a medicine bag. The Buffalo robe that he wore
has slipped from his body and he is seated on it. From his wrist hangs an elk horn quirt. He is wearing a wolf cap.”
Watcher of the Plains was created as a plaster model in 1901; however, it was not until 1926 that the sculpture was cast in bronze.
There were approximately fourteen castings made, of which about six castings are in public collections.
Literature;
Rick Stewart, Charles M. Russell, Sculpture, Among Carter Musuem, Fort Worth Texas, page 336, example illustrated.

Remington was also a skilled writer and aptly described in words what he was attempting to accomplish in his first sculpture The
Bronco Buster (aka Broncho Buster).
“Only those who have ridden a bronco the first time it was saddled, or have lived through a railroad accident, can form any conception of the
solemnity of such experiences. Few Eastern people appreciate the sky rocket bounds, and grunts and stiff-legged striking…”
Based upon the number of castings produced, Bronco Buster can be considered the artist’s most popular sculpture. The source
of his composition for The Bronco Buster came from Remington’s illustration, A Pitching Bronco, published by Harper’s Weekly in
1882. Approximately seventy castings were made by Bonnard Foundry, before Remington switched to Roman Bronze Works in
1900.

Berninghaus was a St. Louis illustrator who, after a trip out west to Taos, New Mexico, became captivated by the Native American
way of life. Gordon E. Sanders, author of the artist’s biography Oscar Berninghaus: Master Painter of American Indians and the Frontier
West, speaks to the challenges faced by Berninghaus in learning to paint the high desert;
“In Taos he had seen a special light- a kind of atmospheric light between him and the mountains that was indeed puzzling. It was
as though the air itself was filled with pigment, floating in tiny particles everywhere. Perhaps it was dust that had blown from the
mountain slopes - from the plains, the sage brush, the trees or whatever. But it was there, and it was good. Taos was an independent
universe of color. As an artist, he was fascinated with the way the sun and sky along with the mountains and buildings all seemed to
blend together harmonious. Even the Indians appeared to be made of the same pigments as their Pueblo, their horses, their fields of
corn and pumpkins- it was glorious, and he promised he would return next year. “
Bernighaus did return and quickly mastered the technique necessary to capture in oil the ethereal atmosphere. The present offering
is a good example of what many artists, attempting to capture the environment of Taos, although skilled and talented, could never
achieve.

Nicolai Fechin, with his wife and daughter, immigrated to America in 1923 .They settled in New York City where there was an
immediate demand for his art. In addition to financial success, he was invited to participate in major art institutions. In 1924 he
won the Thomas Proctor Award for the best portrait at the National Academy Exhibition. Major galleries in New York City, Boston and Chicago held exhibitions of his art. After three years he developed tuberculosis and his doctor advised him to seek a dry
climate. Fellow artist John Young-Hunter made him aware of the art colony in Taos, a small village in the high desert of northern
New Mexico. Taos resident and art patron Mabel Dodge Luhan also encouraged him to come to Taos and offered the Fechin family
accommodations in one of her guest houses.
The Taos landscape and its people appealed to the artist. He particularly had rapport with the inhabitants of Taos Pueblo. In her
biography of the artist, Mary Balcomb comments that Fechin “appreciated the Indian’s great dignity and somber nobility which is apparent in his portrayal of them.” These elements are to be found in the portrait of “Albidia”, even though her job was that of a cook
maid for Mabel Dodge Luhan.
A master of color,“it was the underlying structure of drawing” that placed him above most of his contemporaries. While watercolor
or mixed media was not the artist’s usual medium, Forest Fenn, author of The Genius of Nicolai Fechin, recalled that while in Russia,
he had seen works in watercolor by the artist. A large oil painting of the same subject and identical pose of “Albidia” was also created by the artist and is in the permanent collection of the Gilcrease Institute, Tulsa, Oklahoma, a gift from the legendary western
art collector Eugene B. Adkins.
How the painting of “Albidia” made its way to the present owner is related to a fascinating chapter in Oklahoma history. Richard
Gordon Matzene was a well-known British photographer, art dealer, and world traveler with studios throughout his career in New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and India. While on a cruise, he had a conversation with an oilman who told him of the oil boom
and new wealth in Oklahoma. In 1926, Matzene, made his way to the Sooner state and took up residence in Ponca City, where he
remained, except for intermittent around-the-world junkets, until his death in 1950. He soon became confidante and art advisor
to numerous oil barons including Frank Phillips (Phillips Petroleum) of Bartlesville, and E. W. Marland (Conoco) and Lew Wentz,
both of Ponca City. Matzene spent his years in Ponca City living on the property of pioneer merchant Charles Calkins who, with
his wife, were both major art collectors. Matzene brought many artists to Ponca City, including Nicolai Fechin who drew portraits
of the Calkins and Matzene. The portraits presently hang in the Ponca City Library. Both Calkins and Matzene bequeathed to the
library, extensive portions of their collections, which included numerous important Taos related artists, including Fechin, Berninghaus, Ufer, Hennings, Sandzen and Dunton. Matzene’s oriental art collection was divided between the library and the School of
Art at the University of Oklahoma.
Dr. Thomas McElroy was physician to many of the leading citizens in Ponca City. He and his wife were friends of Matzene . They
also collected art, including works by Fechin. Matzene was also a patient of Dr. McElroy and, for services rendered, gave the doctor
the portrait of “Albidia”, which is the present offering
The present owner of the painting is the daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. McElroy. She was present in Ponca City, during the exciting period of great wealth and cultural activity.

Adolph A. Weinman was born in Germany. He immigrated with his mother to the United States when he was ten years old. At age
fifteen, he served as an apprentice to a carver of wood and ivory. Working in the medium of ivory most assuredly helped him to
develop his highly detailed and precise technique. He attended evening classes at the Cooper Union and later studied at The Art
Students League under Augustus Saint-Gaudens. He assisted numerous important artists including Charles Neihaus, Olin Levi
Warner, Daniel Chester French, and his former teacher, Saint-Gaudens. He developed his interest in Indians for the 1904 Louisiana
Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. In preparation for the commission, he extensively researched the manners, customs, and artifacts
of Indians. In 1902, he received permission to make studies of Indians who were participants in Colonel Cumming’s Wild Life Show
in New York City. Among the models was the Sioux Chief Blackbird, subject of the present offering, which was to become his best
known sculpture. In commenting on his model, the artist described Chief Blackbird as “a stoic if there ever was one”.
Patricia Broder in Bronzes of the American West stated;
“The portrait of Blackbird in his elaborate headdress is totally formal and stylized. The details follow intricate linear patterns which give the
work a rhythmic quality. Chief Blackbird is a decorative and aesthetically pleasing sculpture.”
There are two versions of the sculpture, one which has a decorative bas-relief bronze base that supports the portrait. This has proven
to be of greatest value and is the version of the present offering. It is an elaborate bas-relief depicting several animals of the West
including, lions, eagles, snakes, and porcupine

David Edward Kucera was born in San Jose, California. At the age of ten, his family moved to Nebraska, and while most of the kids
his age were helping with farm work, he spent most of his time painting and drawing. He enrolled at the Colorado Institute of Art
(now the Art Institute of Colorado). There he gained a reputation by winning illustration contests and earning a Merit Scholarship,
and in June 1991, he graduated with honors, including Best Portfolio.
After graduation, Ed came to a crossroad and decided to go into a career in fine art instead of the commercial field. His work now
adorns the walls of many collectors internationally and is on display in a U.S. Embassy overseas.
Kucera finds people of the Old West to be visually and spiritually fascinating subject matter. Through a colorfully rich palette, clever
composition, and perspective his work comes alive.
Among his recent recognitions is the Award of Excellence received at the Oil Painters of America National Exhibition & Sale in May
2006. In 2007, Ed also won an Award of Excellence for a painting entitled “Her Grandson” at the Oil Painters of America National
Show and Exhibition. He is a Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America.

Born in Bronx, NY, of Puerto Rican descent, Rivera began sculpting in clay as a child and studied painting at the Art Students
League, New York from 1953 to 1961. In 1982, encouraged by his artist friend, Albert Handel, Rivera moved to Santa Fe, NM,
where he developed an interest in Native peoples. In time he began traveling throughout Central and South America, including
Peru, Guatemala, and Oaxaca, where he became enamoured of peasantry engaged in everyday activities. Using a telephoto lens and
a practiced ability anonymous, Rivera takes photographs in marketplaces and along city streets. Back in his studio, he composes
his figures into powerful vignettes showcasing individuals or groupings of people. Set against compressed, flattened planes of color,
the figures take on a monumental quality that is articulated by the jewel-like shapes and patterns of their clothing, which seem to
glow from inside the canvas.
Rivera’s paintings are represented in the permanent collections of The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Norman, OK, The Georgia
Museum of Art, Athens, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe.
In 2004 he was the recipient of the Governor’s Award for Excellence, New Mexico. In 2006 Rivera had one person exhibitions at The
Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe and the National Hispanic Cultural Center of New Mexico, Albuquerque.

Oil on canvas

Bill Schenck is a contemporary American painter who incorporates techniques from Photo-Realism with a Pop Art sensibility to
both exalt and poke fun at images of the West. Like the heroes he idolized in B-Westerns, Schenck might well be called the “Good
Badman”.
Born in the Midwest in 1947, a quintessential baby –boomer, Bill Schenck attended the Columbus College of Art and Design from
1965-1967. He transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1969.
One week after graduation, he moved to the SoHo district of New York City, where many first generation Photo-Realists, Color
Field, and Minimal painters were gaining national and international acclaim.
In the mid-1970’s, a growing fascination with simple lifestyle emulated in his paintings encouraged Schenck to move to the West
splitting his time between Arizona and Wyoming. Since 1971, Schenck has had 72 solo shows , 77 group shows and is included
in 31 museum collections worldwide. His work is found in major collections throughout the world and has been the subject of
four museum retrospectives. In 2011 his works were exhibited at the Denver and Phoenix Art Museums.
Bill Schenck moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1997 where undoubtedly new influences and inspirations are already beginning
to emerge. What has remained constant throughout his career is his individuality in dealing with the subject matter of the West
and his unabashed borrowing of styles, techniques and color sense in a truly irreverent manner.

“Only an Apache can catch an Apache” became a popular saying during the 1880’s in the Southwest as the US Military began using
Apache scouts to harass hostiles. General George Crook took full advantage of Apache know-how in tracking renegade Apache.
Geronimo, a shamanistic warrior of the Bedonkohe band of Mogollon/Chiricahua Apache had become the symbol of Native American resistance in the Southwest. Geronimo’s small band of warriors resisted the US Militaries’ attempt to reign him in and was relentlessly pursued by the Army and the Apache scouts.
In March of 1886, Geronimo was brought in to parley a surrender with General Crook. The War Department subsequently reneged
on the parley terms and Geronimo escaped again. General Nelson Miles took over and with a force of 5000 men and hundreds
of scouts went after Geronimo with a vengeance, finally catching Geronimo and his group of 20 warriors on September 4, 1886.
Geronimo had said; “Once I moved like the wind. Now I surrender to you – and that is all.” The Indian Wars were over.

The End of the Trail, along with Remington’s The Bronco Buster and Dallin’s Appeal to the Great Spirit, is one of the most identifiable
images in Western American sculpture. Patricia Broder, in her classic survey Bronzes of the American West states,
“Probably the most famous sculpture of the American West is The End of the Trail.”
More than any other artwork, The End of the Trail most accurately depicts the plight of the Native American. The Artist began developing the work of 1894, inspired by monumental works he saw at the World’s Columbus Exposition in Chicago in 1893; he
was seventeen years old at the time. In the years that followed , Fraser was an assistant to Saint-Gaudens, studying in Europe, and
eventually becoming a major American sculptor.
Fraser continued to develop The End of Trail and in 1915, it was exhibited at the Pan-Pacific Exposition, San Francisco on the
monumental scale of an eighteen foot original plaster model. The original sculpture is now permanently displayed at the National
Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City, OK.
Following the Pan-Pacific Exposition, and throughout the rest of his career, Fraser had various sizes of models cast by several different foundries including Gorham, Roman, and Kunst.

In 1901 R.H. Russell published a dramatic portfolio of prints from eight vivid pastels that were included in Remington’s first oneman gallery exhibition in December that same year. This portfolio, complete with text and an introduction by Owen Webster, featured four Indian subject and four cowboy & military subjects and became collectively known as a Bunch of Buckskins. Today this
Bucksin set is arguably the most highly prized of Remington’s prints among collectors.
The set was acquired by the present owner from Remington authority and legendary art dealer Rudolph Wunderlich. The set was
framed under the supervision of Wunderlich.

Remington’s first trip out west was in 1881. The violent motion and imminent danger depicted in The Rattlesnake would have been
an incident that he would have observed since it was a common encounter between horse, man, and reptile. The sculpture was created and cast in 1905. Eleven castings were eventually made. The artist was unsatisfied with this sculpture so, in 1908 he created a
second, larger version that he considered superior to the first version. The numbering of the second version commenced at twelve.
The subject was to become his second most popular sculpture after The Bronco Buster. Approximately one hundred castings were
made before the models were destroyed.

The Scalp (a.k.a The Triumph), modeled in 1898, was the third sculpture by Remington and first with an Indian subject matter. Many
other sculptors had already done the Indian as a romanticized figure. Remington’s interpretation presented a more “real” Indian
who has taken the scalp of his foe and emits a triumphant howl. Remington Scholar Brian Dippie records the positive review of the
contemporary critic, Charles H. Caffin, who praises The Scalp as Remington most technically accomplished bronze:
“The composition is built up with a true feeling for what is big and impressive. The line made by the horse’s foreleg upon the ground and the
man’s arm is an axis of determined energy, around which the rest of the parts are distributed with an excellent sense of balance. There is also
a fine crescendo of energy. If you trace it upwards you will find no anti-climax; the supreme point, in every sense, is the clinched (sic) fist.”
Only eleven sand castings were completed by Henry Bonard Bronze Co. before Remington changed his allegiance to Roman Bronze
Works, where only an additional six lifetime castings were made. The present offering is number 6 of the Bonnard castings. How
the subject came to be referred to exclusively as The Scalp is uncertain; however, it was after the sculpture was being cast at Roman
Bronze Works. The subject matter is derived from Remington’s pen and ink illustration created for The Oregon Trail, published in
1892. The illustration was entitled Chief of the Sioux – Proud and Defiant.

In mid-November of 1805 the members of the Lewis and Clark expedition felt an overwhelming joy. After almost three years of
super human effort during which they had discovered Indian tribes, rivers, and the Rocky Mountains they had finally reached the
shores of the Pacific Ocean.
Lewis had heard through Indian accounts that great sailing vessels were sometimes seen out at sea. Lewis had hoped that he would
find white traders on the Pacific coast as-well-as access to a sailing vessel which could bear his records of discoveries and possibly
all his men back to the East Coast of the United States and ultimately to the President. In anticipation of fulfilling these hopes Lewis
carried a letter of credit signed by President Jefferson prepared in advance for the purpose. Lewis was highly aware of the many
life threatening dangers awaiting his expedition if a return journey on foot was unavoidable and to lose the records of his precious
findings to hostile Indians, freezing storms or disease during a second and this time eastward crossing of the continent would bring
all their valiant efforts to nought.
Lewis explored the coast at Cape Disappointment for miles but no trading post, white men nor ships were found. However, on
that day Lewis and Clark along with some of the men created an unusual document which historians recognize as having possibly
contributed to The United States’ claim to the north west. They carved their names and a date deep into a tree which announced
their presence. The carving states: “By Land from the U. States in 1804 & 1805 (signed) Meriwether Lewis and William Clark” The
carving is referred to by historians as “the magnificent line”
The painting, Cape Disappointment, depicts Lewis at the Cape later in the day that their signatures were carved on the tree. Lewis,
Clark and some of their men, along with Sacajawea (shown with Pomp, Sacajawea’s baby) are trading with Chinook Indians for the
pelt of a sea otter which was in the possession of the Chinook chief. The pelt specimen was intended to join the many examples of
animal skins never before seen by scientists back in the States and lengthen Lewis’ long list of discoveries.
Both Clark and Lewis tried to strike a bargain for a trade, each offering different articles. The Chinook chief, however, would settle
for no other item than the belt of blue beads worn by Sacajawea. The incident is recorded in Lewis’ journals. “no” signaled the chief
to other offers. Only the blue beads would satisfy the Chief and accomplish the trade. Both Lewis and Clark looked at Sacajawea
questioningly. Sacajawea was willing to part with her beautiful blue beaded belt only if she could be assured that she would receive
something worthy and desirable in exchange. One of the Captains fetched a coat of blue cloth which he offered to Sacajawea. She
accepted and the trade of the chief’s sea otter pelt for the belt of blue beads was successfully made.

6. Terms for all purchases will be cash. Credit cards
are not accepted as payment for works of art purchased at auction. All monies shall be made payable

the reserve by bidding on behalf of the Consignor.
In addition, Altermann Galleries reserves the right to
purchase property for itself or on behalf of another
party.

make any representations whatsoever that the Purchaser of a work of art will acquire any reproduction rights
thereto. Purchaser’s ownership of the work shall remain
subject to the copyrights of the consignor.
10. These Procedures, Terms and Conditions of Auction and any other applicable conditions, as well as the
Purchaser’s and Gallery’s rights and obligations herein
shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico. If
these Procedures, Terms and Conditions of Auction are
not complied with by the Purchaser, the Gallery may, in
addition to other remedies available by law, including
without limitation the right to hold the Purchaser liable
for the purchase price stated on the invoice, either (a)
cancel the sale and retain as liquidated damages any and
all payments made by the Purchaser or (b) resell the
property privately or at public auction on three days notice to the Purchaser for the payment of any deficiency
in the purchase price and all costs including handling
charges, warehousing, the commissions, attorney’s fees,
any and all other auction-related charges due and incidental damages. In the event of a default, the Gallery
reserves the right to charge the Purchaser’s credit card
on file in the full amount owed as stated on the invoice.
