    1. BEFORE THE AUCTION

    Pre-sale EstimatesThe pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid between the high and the low pre-sale estimates would, in our opinion, offer a fair chance of success. However, all lots, depending on the degree of competition, can realise prices either above or below the pre-sale estimates.

    ReservesThe reserve is the minimum price the seller is willing to accept below which the lot will not be sold.

    Condition of LotsProspective buyers are encouraged to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibition. Solely as a convenience, Larasati may provide condition reports. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalog description does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections.

    Affandis unusual personality and choice of vocation combined with his energetic but undeniable charisma to create a life which took on the stature of legend even in his own time. The widespread attention he received in the media caused people of all walks of life, urban and rural, Indonesian and foreign, to recognize his name and face and to make the pilgrimage to his colourful, self-built museum in Yogyakarta.

    A painting of quality does not merely show off its surface beauty; what is important is that it reveals the depth of its content it must be filled with meaning. I am a great admirer of primitive art, which is always loaded with magical and meaningful elementsand if an art critic from the Philippines calls my work magic-decorative, I fully agree with such a description.

    Sudjojonos landscape work should not be viewed merely as a lyrical representation of the nature. In the context of his leading role in expounding the Modernist movement and his vehement attack on the Mooi Indie school (Beautiful Indonesia) which he felt was hindering the progressive tendencies in the development of Indonesian Art as artists, indigenous of foreign, continued to emphasized only the beautiful landscape or women, clearly demonstrating a hierarchy of aesthetics in the choice of subject-matters. To him, the practice of painting only pretty landscape and other acceptable themes is an insincere idealization of reality.

    To be truthful to oneself as an artist and to the subject is the only solution to Sudjojono as he states Every artist must take as his starting-point his own nature. An artist must be courageous in all things, especially when it comes to offering his ideas to the world, even if he does not receive any public recognition at all Each and every artist must embody these two qualities, truth and beauty. Not beauty in the sense of recognized by the public at large, but from the point of view of aesthetics as understood by the artist himself.

    From 1950s onwards, Le Phos pallete becomes lighter. The painter adopts the manner of the sketch, or rather of the outline. His pictures are boneless. They have no linear scaffolding. Contact with Bonnards work played a decisive role in the evolution of the artist. Le Pho began to paint in oil on canvas. He achieved a harmonious synthesis between Chinese painting and Impressionism, or rather Post-Impressionism. If he retains his nostalgia for the country of a thousand flowers, if his figures are modeled from the same stuff as the air which envelopes them and blurs their outlines, if he devotes himself to translating light, that soul of all painting, he never ceases to be himself.

    (Waldemar George in Le Pho: The Divine Painter, le-pho, Wally Findlay Galleries International, Inc. United States, p. 4.)

It is a constant yearning for the artist to portray the people in the noblest form for eternity. Having spent some time in Florence where he is known to have been painting incessantly, the influence of the Italian masters was evident in the works of Bonnet, manifesting in his accentuation of the grandeur and elegance of people.

    Apart from its beautiful people and breathtaking scenery, the rich ritualistic and ceremonial setting of Bali gives Bonnet the perfect grand stage as he depicts his performers. For his perfect delineation of the characters and the impeccable arrangement of the people and their settings, always give the finished work a dramatic and theatrical mood, befitting the lofty aspiration of the artist to ensure the records of the people is preserved on its classical state.

    The profiles of his beautiful sitters be it male or female are amongst the favourites renditions of the artist. This penchant for the delineation of human forms could be dated back to Bonnets Italian period where certainly the classical Greek sculptures and Renaissance works have made a great impression on the artist.

    The beauty of the sitters are certainly the most inspiring elements for the artist who depicts gentle features of the girls with a emotive hands that alludes the Balinese beauties to classical Greek sculptures.

    Adrien-Charles Louis Leopold Le Mayeur de Merpres was active as a painter and an etcher. Although he depicted some landscapes, views of rivers or surrounding villages, Charles Le Mayeur is principally known as a marine painter. The major part of his works consists of seascapes, painted at the Belgian coast in De Panne, Niewpoort and Ostend.

    He was a pupil of Isodore Meyers together with Frans Courtens. It was under Meyers guidance that he painted his first marine paintings. In Adrien-Charles Le Mayeurs seascapes, it is clearly visible that he studied the waves and knew hoe to depict it accurately. The whole surface of water in his canvases is filled with a clear structure of waves. The combination with his typical large and wide skies made his art become grandiose. Adrien-Charles Le Mayeur already was famous during his lifetime as the poet of the sea. His refined impressions were born out of an accurate observation between water and sky. From 1877 onwards, Charles Le Mayeur gave more attention to the role of the light. This brought more balance in his works as his seascapes were flooded with light, air and atmosphere. Adrien-Charles Le Mayeur is considered as one of the best Belgian painters of the sea.

    From his marriage with Louisa Marie Agusta de Bosch, he had two children, one of whom is Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de Merpres,who also shared the same passion on painting with his father and went on various journeys before settling in Bali and married Ni Pollok.

    Colour is used to convey the emotional intensity of a persons feelings and temperament. Ones ability to perceive the expressive power of colour is not only innate and personal, it is also determined by ones culture. One may use colour freely or endow it with a cultural message. In my works, I blend the two approaches. I am strongly inspired by the colours from my Indonesian background, but I reinterpret them through a subliminal process that belongs to me and me alone. 1

    A work of art is the expression and reflection of the visible spirit of the artist while color is used to convey emotional sensation. So I use colors to represent the es-sence of what I see. 2

    The formal structure of Srihadis work is very simple; the composition of most of his paintings is organized either by a horizontal or a vertical axis. The horizon refers to nature and the cosmos, and the vertical to man. Paintings in the Horizon series are almost perfectly linear, save for their colour detailing or the minute irregularities in layering. Similarly, the figures of most of the dancers are upright, except for the hair, arms, and clothes that subtly divert the eye from the perfect axis. Within the core of these two simple axes, however, emerges a complex micro-versus-macro dialectic of repetition and symmetry, this time formally produced as vertical and horizontal waves. This is the visual equivalent of the iconographic dialectic outlined above: at the macro level, between the lines of the sea, sky, and land, or between the dancers; at the micro level, between their components, such as arms and headdresses; and finally between the macro and micro elements, in an intersection of all these- a small flower contrasted against a large white corset, or flowers scattered on the ground. This is achieved in a manner that is neither stiff nor repetitive. A small details a rock, a tuft of grass, foam always break the regularity of the symmetry and brings a subtle modulation of form and colour to the whole. In short, Srihadis paintings are constructed with a well-coordinated, multidimensional modulation of elements within a strong framework.

    The habit and rituals practiced by traditional dancers in their dressing rooms while preparing their stage performance have inspired me to think of a concept about the ideal and desired social life of contemporary society, namely the establishment of cooperation, tolerance and respect for one another, even though ongoing modernization and globalization reach every corner of the world and cause such traditional values to vanish.

    I wish for spiritual unity in viewing the future; a situation that is far from violence; and, collective spirit to build peace by respecting the values of humanity.

    We hereby inform all those participating in the auction, that it shall be held subject to the following conditions and that anyone taking part in it, hereby accepts these con-ditions as applicable.

    Larasati as agentAs auctioneer, Larasati Muse Investments Pte. Ltd. here-in referred to as Larasati acts as agent for the seller. Unless otherwise agreed, sales of goods at this auction re-sult in contracts made between the seller, through our agency, with the buyer.

    Definitions of terms used in these condi-tionsIn the conditions set out below, some terms are used regularly that need expla-nation.

    They are as follows: the Buyer means the person with highest bid accepted by the auctioneer; a Lot means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any lot number in any catalog; the Hammer Price means the charge pay able by the auctioneer in rela-tion to a lot; the Buyers Premium means the charge payable by the buyer as a percent-age of the hammer price; the Reserve means the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the lot cannot be sold; Forgery means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to de-ceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct descrip-tion as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalog nd which at the date of the auction had a value mate-rially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalog. Accordingly, no lot shall be ca-pable of being a forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including repainting); the Insured Value means the amount that Larasati in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider to be the value for which a lot should be covered by insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by us).

    BEFORE THE SALE

    Examination of goodsProspective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request.

    Larasati is not responsible for any faults or defects in any lot or the correctness of:- any statement as to the authorship;- origin;- date and age of the lot;- attribution;- genuineness;- provenance and conditions of any lot.

    Larasati does not make or give, nor has any person in the employment of Larasati any authority to make or give, any representa-tion or warranty regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuiness, description, provenance, condi-tion or estimate selling price of any lot.

    Catalog descriptionsStatements by us in the catalog or condi-tion report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, ori-gin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimate selling price of any lot are merely statements of opinion given in good faith, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalog illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item or to reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the lot will sell or its value for any other purpose.

    Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalog or giv-en by way of condition report make refer-ence to damage and/or restoration. We pro-vide this information for guidance only and the absence of such reference does not im-ply that an item is free from defects or res-toration nor does the reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.Buyers Responsibility

    Buyers are responsible for satisfying them-selves concerning the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalog description.

    AT THE SALE

    Refusal of admissionOur sale takes place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admis-sion to the premises or attendance at the auction.

    Registration before biddingEvery prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auc-tion. Prospective buyers should be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.

    Bidding as PrincipalWhen making a bid, prospective buyer will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of regis-tration, that a bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a third party acceptable to us.

    Commission BidsIf a prospective buyer gives us instructions to bid on his behalf, by using the form print-ed after the catalog entries, we shall use reasonable efforts to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the sale. Bids should be placed in Singapore Dollars. Bids placed in other currencies will be converted to Singapore Dollars using the one month forward rate of exchange quoted to us by HSBC Bank at opening on the date of the auction and the Singapore Dollars figure may be subject to rounding. The Buyers invoice will be in Sin-gapore Dollars and we shall not be liable to the buyer for any loss suffered as a result of exchange rate movements after the date of the sale. If we receive commission bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the sale may be such that we are unable to

    bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. Pro-spective buyers should therefore always attend personally if they wish to be certain of bidding.

    Telephone BidsIf prospective buyers make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable efforts to con-tact the bidders to enable them to partici-pate in bidding by telephone, but under no circumstances will we be liable to either the seller or any prospective buyer as a result of failure to do so.

    Currency ConverterAt this auction, a currency converter may be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by HSBC Bank at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will however take place in Singa-pore Dollars. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur be-yond our control either in the accuracy of the lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of Singa-pore Dollars bids.

    We shall not be liable to the buyer for any loss suffered as a result of the buyer follow-ing the currency converter, rather than the Singapore Dollars bidding.

    Video imagesAt this auction there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to the buyer regarding ei-ther the correspondence of the image to the lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.

    The auctioneers discretion The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of er-ror or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.

    Successful bidSubject to the auctioneers discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the accept-ance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer.
