CONDITIONS OF SALE 1 The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Doyle New York as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions: 2 All lots are sold "AS IS" and without recourse and neither Doyle New York nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots, except for the limited warranties expressly stated in the Terms of Guarantee section of this catalogue. Except as otherwise expressly and specifically provided in the Terms of Guarantee, neither Doyle New York nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. The Terms of Guarantee are controlling, and no statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in this catalogue, or in supplements to this catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Doyle New York and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Doyle New York expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalogue. 3 Doyle New York reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time prior to the commencement of bidding for such lot. 4 If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject that advance. All lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. No reserves will exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of Doyle New York. Lots marked C preceding the estimate are consigned and reserved. Those marked * are reserved property in which Doyle New York has an interest. The auctioneer may open bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or by placing bids in response to other bidders. 5 Estimates provided in this catalogue represent that range which, in the opinion of Doyle New York represents a fair and probable auction value. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. 6 Doyle New York reserves the right to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Doyle New York sale record shall be conclusive. 7 Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the conditions of sale set forth herein, and such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility therefore and will pay the purchase price as follows: The total purchase price to be paid by purchaser is the amount of the successful bid price plus a premium of 22% on the first $100,000 of the successful bid price. That portion of the hammer price which exceeds $100,000 will be subject to a 14.5% premium.
