We believe that authentication is not an exact science. Contrary opinions (some favorable and some unfavorable) may exist and any lot may or may not be considered authentic, depending on the opinion of the examining expert or specialist. The signature, style, and composition of the attributed works we offer seem absolutely correct in our opinion and are similar to pieces of known authenticity and provenance which we have either seen or sold, although neither we nor the consignor can guarantee that an attributed lot is wholly or partly by the artist to whom it is attributed. REGARDING PROVENANCE, we often must rely on information provided to us by the consignor, family records or documents, estate papers, and/or other third parties. If you have questions about a lot's provenance, please ask them prior to bidding. Unless stated otherwise in a lot's description, no documents, letters or certificates of authenticity, or additional information concerning provenance will accompany any lot. We do not obtain written affidavits from consignors regarding provenance, so we not warranty provenance. Demonstrable provenance can be an important factor in determining authenticity, thus bidders are advised not to rely the stated provenance of a lot in making their bidding decisions. Statements by Exquisite Entities, LLC regarding the condition of objects are for guidance only and should not be relied upon as statements of fact, and do not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by Exquisite Entities, LLC . All lots offered regardless of a condition report are sold "AS IS".

Buyer pays all processing fees.
