Auction Description

International Fine Art Auction held at Maine College of Art in Portland by Barridoff Auctions

About the Galleries and the Current Auction:

Barridoff Galleries was established in the mid 1970's by Annette and Rob Elowitch in both their home towns of Portland, Maine. It was the first auction house in Maine to specialize in the auction of fine art. It is the only auction house in Maine to offer only works of art at two auctions a year which are held in April and October. The auctions, which feature Old Masters, American, European, Russian, Asian, Modernist and contemporary work, are the Galleries' only business. In that regard, it was the forerunner to regional auction houses in America and probably throughout the world. Unusually extensive stories about the Galleries' owners' business and personal lives and public auctions have been featured on every national news network in a strong, positive way with unusually in depth stories on the Today Show on NBC, the Osgood File on CBS, and, with an extensive 15 minute story, on the the News Hour on PBS. Barridoff Galleries, which sells to major museums and important collectors throughout the world, responds to potential consignors within 24 hours and to auction buyers usually even sooner with accurate condition reports and answers to any questions regarding the consignment or sale of art. Art is both a passion and a business at Barridoff Galleries, a combination that makes buying and selling it an incomparable experience for everyone. The feature length movie about Barridoff and the Elowitches titled "Canvasman" has been telecast on public television in prime time and been an official selection at many important film festivals. (The DVD is available at Amazon.com.) The live previews and auctions are held at Maine College of Art in the heart of downtown Portland. The art school has played a particularly integral part in the rebirth of Longfellow's "beautiful city..seated by the sea." The Galleries donates a small percentage of every auction to the School.

 

The current auction features several particularly fine private collections: The Zorach Collection from the Estate of Frances Edson, Brooklyn Heights, New York; Drawings, Sculpture, and Watercolors from the Collection of Joan and Arthur Bugs Baer, Madison, Connecticut; Studies in Watercolor, Mixed Media, and Pencil Drawings by Landes Lewitin from the Collection of Cynthia Thompson, Cumberland Center, Maine; and Fine American Paintings from the Charles V. Murray Collection, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, among many other compelling and beautiful works or art – American and European primarily from Old Masters to Abstract Expressionism and Contemporary.

Terms & Conditions

Conditions of Sale

The following Conditions of Sale and, if applicable, the official Absentee/Telephone Bid Forms, as they may be amended by any posted notices or oral announcements before or during the sale, from Barridoff Galleries’ and its consignors’ entire agreement with the buyer relative to the property listed herein. By participating in the sale, all bidders agree to the terms hereof.  

 

1. Barridoff Galleries acts as an agent for its consignors and the contract for sale is between the consignor and the buyer.  Barridoff Galleries may reject any bid for any reason.  Items may be subject to a reserve, and Barridoff Galleries may reject any bid below the reserve. The auctioneer may bid on behalf of the consignor or of Barridoff Galleries. Barridoff Galleries reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before its actual sale. The buyer will be the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. Barridoff Galleries has the authority to decide any disputes over the auction process in its sole discretion, and its decision shall be final and binding. As a convenience to clients who cannot attend a sale in person or bid online, Absentee/Telephone bid forms can be found online via a link at barridoff.com. Barridoff Galleries is not responsible for errors and omissions in connection with telephone, Internet, or other absentee bidding. 

 

2. Provenances are included in the catalog to the extent they are available. Estimates are included with each lot. Statements of condition are available online at bid square.com; and Barridoff Galleries will endeavor to answer to the fullest extent possible any reasonable question. The auctioneer may make corrections and provide additional information as available at the time of sale. 

 

3. Statements in the catalog and any other information provided by Barridoff Galleries and any of its employees are opinions; Barridoff Galleries and the consignors are not responsible for errors and omissions therein.  Barridoff Galleries makes no representation or warranty with respect to and is not responsible for the description, quality, condition, or authenticity of any items sold, and makes no warranty as to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. But the Galleries does all reasonable research and examination possible prior to including any item in a sale. All items are therefore sold “AS IS.” Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size, and whether or not is has been repaired or restored. No representation or warranty is made as to copyright of any property or whether the buyer acquires any reproduction rights of the property.

 

4. Barridoff Galleries charges the buyer a premium to be added to the hammer price on each item purchased. This premium is equal to 20% of the hammer price up to and including $ 500,000.00, plus 12% of the hammer price over $  500,000.00. Bidders online pay an additional 3%.

 

5. Upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the item passes to the highest bidder, subject to the terms hereof, who assumes full risk and responsibility therefore. Buyer authorizes Barridoff Galleries to sign a sales record, which shall be conclusive as to the terms of the sale, on buyer’s behalf. Barridoff Galleries is not responsible for any loss by the buyer as a result of the damage or theft of an article purchased. All property must be removed from the premises of the auction by the buyer, at his or her expense, on the day of sale unless other specific arrangements have been made with Barridoff Galleries. Payment for each item purchased must be made before the item is removed.  Only cash or certified check will be acceptable unless other suitable arrangements have been made with Barridoff Galleries at least five days before the auction. 

 

6. If the buyer does not comply with any applicable conditions herein, Barridoff Galleries and the consignor shall have all of the following rights and remedies, in addition to their other remedies at law or in equity: the right a) to hold the buyer liable for the total purchase price plus interest of 1 1/2 % per month; b) to cancel the sale and retain as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer; c) to resell the property, in which case the buyer shall be liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, commissions on both sales and all other charges and incidental damages; d) to charge 1% of the total purchase price per month, with a minimum charge of 5%, to handle any property not timely removed; e) to exclude buyer and its affiliates from all future auctions; and f) to set off any amounts Barridoff or consignor owes the buyer. All buyers shall be deemed to have granted to Barridoff Galleries and its consignor as collateral for buyer’s obligations hereunder a security interest in any property of the buyer in the possession of Barridoff Galleries or its consignor, who shall have all of the rights of a secured party in Maine and the law of the location of the property. Barridoff Galleries shall have all of the rights of the consignor to pursue all rights and remedies hereunder, and Barridoff Galleries and its consignors shall be entitled to all of their costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in enforcing their rights and remedies hereunder. 

 

7. Requests for refunds will only be considered on the grounds of authenticity. All such requests must be made within 15 days of the auction and must be supported by the written testimony of at least two recognized experts in the field with respect to the specific artist involved. Only if the disputed article is in the same condition as when sold will a request for refund be considered. In the event Barridoff Galleries agrees to rescind the sale, which decision shall be at Barridoff Galleries’ sole discretion, the original purchase price shall be refunded to the buyer. Such rescission and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedies which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. In no event shall Barridoff Galleries’ or its consignor’s liability exceed the purchase price of the item sold. 

 

All purchases are subject to Maine sales tax unless the buyer possesses a sales tax exemption number either from or acceptable to Maine Revenue Services and presents to Barridoff Galleries at or before the auction a valid signed certificate from the Services stating that Barridoff Galleries does not have to withhold Maine sales tax on the purchase. Maine sales tax is applicable to the full purchase price as determined by the hammer price plus premium. 

 

The descriptions used in this catalog may not be reproduced in any manner without the written authorization of Barridoff Galleries. 

 

The Uniform Commercial Code Title 11, Section 2-328 applies to this auction sale.  These conditions of sale are governed by and shall be interpreted under Maine law, and any conflicts hereunder shall be decided in the state and federal courts located in Cumberland County, Maine, and all bidders submit themselves to the jurisdiction thereof.
