LAMA held its first auction on October 10, 1992. Twenty years later, we celebrate LAMA's history with a landmark auction of exceptional Modern Art and Design spanning the 20th century. The upcoming 20th Anniversary Auction will feature over 500 lots of rare and important fine art and design, including works by Sam Francis, Richard Pettibone, Richard Diebenkorn, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Yayoi Kusama, and David Hockney. Design offerings include a rare Jean Prouvé table from 1954 that was commissioned for a hotel in Cameroon, an impressive selection of Greta Grossman designs, and a strong grouping of Serge Mouille lighting. Sixteen designs by Nakashima will go up on the auction block, including one of his masterpieces, a monumental coffee table from 1969.

Since my first auction in 1992, I have always tried to curate the sales with objects of decora-tive and fine art with a simple philosophy: If an object was rejecting historical precedent, reducing unnecessary ornament, embracing a new material, or using a new method of construction, then I generally thought that was good.

The Museum of Modern Art first used the phrase “Good Design” in the late 1940s to honor thoughtfully conceived and well-executed objects of functional use. These humble chairs, lamps, and other household items were beginning to form a unique style, and MoMA was fostering a movement that had intellectual roots in Vienna, Weimar, Copenhagen, and beyond. But it was in America during those post-war years that the movement caught fire with young consumers, a decidedly young generation that saw the appeal in functional, beautiful, and reasonably priced objects for everyday use. Likewise in the 1980s, another young generation began buying Vintage Good Design for the exact same reasons.

As a young man, I recognized a wide appeal for all things that were designed with the object’s form being dictated by the function or solution of a design problem. It is not surprising then, after 20 years of auctioning Good Design, to see yet another young generation entering the market. This generation of collectors is armed with an impressive knowledge and understanding of the history of design. They have unlimited information at their fingertips. They have the benefit of world-class museum shows on the subject (Thank you, Wendy Kaplan). But most of all, they recognize what the original buyers recognized: Good Design is still good. For anyone who has invested in Vintage Good Design, this should be a very comforting thought. It seems to always appeal to young consumers.

In the past 20 years, design and art have increasingly been merging, the lines blurring even further in the vintage markets. Collectors of vintage design are also increasingly collecting art and vice-versa. The reason is simple. To paraphrase Adolf Loos, “We don’t dress like our ancestors, why should our interiors?” In other words, if you embrace a modern way of living, then it follows that modern art (or fashion, or architecture, or cuisine) should also be embraced.

Going forward, I hope to curate auctions the same way for the next 20 years, not by providing works from a single period or style or region, but by offering works through a single philosophy. Whether it is a chair or a vase or even a painting, it must be good.

In 1917 Kaare Klint began working as an independent furniture designer, having originally studied as a painter and trained as an apprentice in the Copenhagen architectural partnership of Nielsen & Petersen. Later in 1924, Klint established the Furniture Design department at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts where many of the pupils that he taught would become some of the most influential Danish designers of the 1940s and 50s, such as Borge Mogensen, Hans Wegner, Poul Kjaerholm, and Ole Wanscher.

Klint's own designs were handmade in limited quantities or to order during the 1930s by the skilled cabinetmaker Rud. Rasmussen. His furniture designs articulated a deep understanding of 18th century English furniture forms, and laid the foundations for the revival of Danish design after the Second World War.

original not to be original,” afittingresponsefromanartistwhoinjectshumorintohispainstakingappropriations.

FullofdiminutivedevotionstoDuchamp,Warhol,Lichtenstein,andJohns,hisFerusGalleryone-manexhibitionin1965

wasinspiredbytwomajorSouthernCaliforniashows,the1962Warholexhibitionof32Campbell’ssoupcansattheFerus

yetmeticulouslywroughtusinghisskillsasamodeltrainbuilder,histinypaintingsweredeemed“miniatures.”Pettibone,

however,wasmerelymaintainingthesizeoftheimagesofcontemporarypaintingshewouldfindinArtforummagazine.

In a text painting from 1985,A Snow Shovel is Nice, Pettibone declares his admiration forDuchampwhile

establishinghispersonalart-makingpractice:“Marcel Duchamp is without question my favorite artist, / He

made being an artist seem so easy. / Just pick something. / Anything. / A urinal will do, or a bicycle

wheel.” Duchamp is the startingpoint for appropriation, and forPettiboneat the time, a consummatewellspringof

readymades.The1965painting,Marcel Duchamp, "Pliant de Voyage", 1917,isamodernre-imaginingoftheUnderwood

typewriter cover readymade thatdoubledas aportable exhibit and “skirt-like reference” tohis girlfriendat the time,

BeatriceWood. InKatherine Dreier’s Room (1966), Pettibone silkscreened a replica of an existing photograph of art

collectorKatherineDreier’slibrary.AnhomagetoWarhol’sphotographicreproductions,Katherine Dreier’s Room allows

theviewertobehold–throughtheeyesofPettibonetheprinterandpainterofhisownbrandofreadymades–twoof

Duchamp’smostambitiousworks,The Large Glass and Tu m’.Revivedinmintgreenandblack,thesepiecesexhibitthe

marriageofPettibone’srolesasmastercraftsmananddiscerningcuratortoresultinimpeccablywroughtconceptualart

documentation.

In addition toDuchamp, at theFerus showPettibone revered Jasper Johns’ use of color, expressed through

the Map paintings aswell as five bicyclewheel readymadeswith the forks of eachwheel painted in a primary color.

He furtherexploredJohn’spalette in 1967withJasperJohns, “Light Bulb,” 1958 (red, yellow, blue), three acrylic and

photo-engravedcanvasesthatreplicateJohns’bronzecastofalightbulb.CuratorMichaelDuncanasserts,“Pettiboneina

“I use the same basic materials and techniques as my father did, and insist on the same standards of craftsmanship. In modern Western terms, however, this very continuity can be interpreted to mean that my work has not departed far enough from my father’s example to be considered original.” MIRA NAKASHIMA, 2003

The First Class dining room on the SS Normandie from where this pair of chairs originated was the very height of taste and refinement when it was launched in 1935. Measuring 305 feet long, 46 feet wide and 28 feet high, the room was punctuated by 12 illuminated pillars by René Lalique and decorative bronze medallions by Raymond Subes. The underside of each chair has a wooden stretcher with four screw holes, which previously accommodated a device to anchor the chairs to the floor in the event of a rough crossing.

Three examples of this variant of the MR chair were originally conceived and produced for Howard Dearnstyne's Berlin apartment in 1932. Dearnstyne was a close friend and former pupil of Mies van der Rohe, having been one of the few Americans to attend the Bauhaus school, Dessau and Berlin. During the early 1950s, at the request of Mies van der Rohe, Dearnstyne loaned one of his three chairs to Knoll for pattern production analysis. Several prototypes were produced as a test; however, Knoll decided not to proceed with production. The chairs were given to Bennet Greenwald by Stanley Tigerman. Greenwald's father, a real estate developer named Herbert, was a close friend and business partner of Mies van der Rohe until his death in 1957. The renowned Chicago architect Stanley Tigerman was a friend of Bennet's father, and his encounters with Mies van der Rohe are

Valentine’s natural surroundings have always been a dominant influence in his work: “In

Colorado, I had a love affair with the clouds and mountains. When I moved to

California, the smog became a substance, and the quality of light had a body to it

that was just thrilling.”Uponarrivalin1965,heimmediatelywantedtocreatesculpture

stuff that had never been done before, inventing techniques that were unheard

of.”Hewas“absolutelyfearless”andpoisedtoworkwithanymaterialthatwouldachievehis

aestheticvision.

Inthelate70s,Valentinebeganworkingwithglasstocreatelargefountains.Likethe

impetusbehindhiscastresindiscsandcolumns,“The inspiration for the fountain grew

out of a desire to sculpt a piece of the ocean or actually come as close as possible

to carving out a section of the sea.”ConstructedforaprivateresidenceinNewZealand

The following are our “Conditions of Sale” for the items listed in this catalogue to be sold by Modern Auctions, Inc. (L.A. Modern Auctions or “LAMA”). We are acting as an agent on behalf of our consignors.

PAYMENTAll sales are final. All sold lots are to be paid for on the day of the sale. We accept cash, bank wire transfers, checks, and Mastercard and Visa (PLEASE NOTE: Credit card payments are accepted only when presented in person and will not be accepted over the phone, fax or e-mail). All payments made by personal checks will be subject to clearance before purchases can be collected. Buyers who have not purchased from Modern Auctions, Inc. (Los Angeles Modern Auctions) previously are asked to provide a method of payment and/or letter of reference from a bank or creditor prior to the auction. Bank wire information is available upon request, please phone (323) 904-1950. If payment is not received by October 17th collection and storage fees will begin incurring immediately.

BUYER’S PREMIUMA buyer’s premium of 25% will be added to the hammer price on all property sold if bids are placed directly with Modern Auctions, Inc. This buyer’s premium can be discounted to 22.5% if payment by cash, check or bank wire is received by October 17th. The buyer’s premium will not be discounted for internet bidding (27.5%) or payment by credit card or if full payment is not received by October 17, 2012. (PLEASE NOTE: Credit card payments are accepted only when presented in person and will not be accepted over the phone, fax or e-mail).

CALIFORNIA SALES TAXSales tax of 8.75% will be collected on all purchases removed from our premises or delivered within the state of California. Those holding a valid California State Resale License must register before each sale and present their valid resale number. No purchases will be released until all sales tax requirements are satisfied.

ESTIMATES & RESERVESThe estimates printed after each lot should be used as a guide only and should not be relied upon as a prediction of final selling prices. Many of the lots offered for sale carry a reserve and are confidential. The reserve is a minimum price at which the seller has agreed to let the auctioneer sell the property.

CONDITIONEVERYTHING IS SOLD IN “AS-IS” CONDITION. No statement regarding condition of any item, whether it is made orally at the auction or at any other time or in writing in this catalogue shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to inspect all goods prior to the sale. We strongly encourage all bidders to request a condition report on any item before bidding. All electrical items are sold for decorative value only and should be assumed not to be working. All measurements are approximate. Photographs of any lots not illustrated can be found on our website LAMODERN.com

COLLECTION AND STORAGEALL LOTS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE AUCTION SHOWROOM BY 12:00 PM ON OCTOBER 17th. All property remaining after October 17th will be removed and stored in an off-site storage facility at the cost of the buyer. Purchases not removed by October 17th will be assessed a daily storage fee of $15 per day per lot. Items in storage are not insured by Modern Auctions, Inc. Unless other arrangements are made and confirmed in writing; the buyer assumes sole responsibility for shipping, packing, insurance, and storage concerns. A list of shippers can be provided upon request.

BIDDINGWe encourage you to attend the sale in-person. However, if you can not attend in person we offer an “absentee” or phone bidding service. For this service fill out and submit an

“Absentee/Phone bid” form. To obtain this form please call (323) 904-1950 or go to our website. We will not execute absentee or phone bid orders unless a signed and completed bid form has been received. All Absentee/Phone bid forms must be received by Saturday, October 6th by 5:00 p.m. (PST) via fax to (323) 904-1954. We encourage you to call after faxing to confirm we have received your bid. We kindly ask that you do not call on the day of the sale to submit bids or to check if your bids were successful. All successful absentee bids should be notified by phone by October 9th. In addition, the auction prices realized will be posted the day after the sale on our website. Do not rely on any auction results (prices realized) unless published on www.lamodern.com or as provided directly by Modern Auctions, Inc.

Absentee/Phone bids are on a first-come, first-served basis; thus, we encourage you to submit your form ASAP. If identical absentee bids are submitted, the earliest received will take precedence. The number of phone lines available are limited so please submit your phone requests early. On all absentee/phone bid forms, please leave a valid credit card number with expiration date; a deposit of 25% may be required for all absentee and phone bids. Please note that we only accept credit card payments in person. For those absentee/phone bidders who can not come in personally to pay, we will only accept either a certified check or wire transfer as a method of payment (see

“Payment” notice). The party responsible for submitting the absentee or phone bid is solely responsible for the payment in full of the total invoice. We will not make any changes to an invoice.

Should a dispute arise after the sale, our sale records are conclusive. We are not responsible for failure to execute a bid and have the right to reject any bid. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. Should an item be withdrawn, the auctioneer will make an announcement at the time the lot would have been put up for sale. In addition, the auctioneer may add lots not previously listed in the catalogue or addendum.

If the buyer does not comply with all of the notices to buyers, Modern Auctions, Inc, reserves the right to cancel the sale, hold the defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price and buyer’s premium, retain any deposit, and resell the property privately or at auction without further notice. In the latter, the defaulting buyer will be held responsible for all incurred expenses, such as warehouse and transportation costs, commissions, incidentals, and shall be liable for payment of any deficiency in the purchase price. This is strictly enforced. We reserve the right to assess a late charge of 1.5% of the total purchase price per month if payment is not made in accordance with any of these conditions of sale.

GUARANTEEThe authenticity of every item offered for sale is guaranteed. Modern Auctions, Inc. warrants only the authorship of an item (as printed in BLUE type) and does not guarantee the condition, age, or any identifying characteristic used by Modern Auctions, Inc, in any descriptions such as color, method of construction, and type of materials. Any lot using the terms “attributed”, “attribution,” “in the style of,” “in the manner of,” or

“after” does not qualify for our guarantee. In addition, the buyer assumes responsibility of reading all addendums and posted corrections to the catalogue prior to bidding.

RESCISSIONShould the authenticity of an item be disputed after a sale, the buyer has 90 days from the date of the auction to provide written documentation or conclusive opinion of a mutually agreed upon independent expert, retained at the buyers sole expense, that the item in question is not as stated in the catalogue. In the event of an error, Modern Auctions, Inc. will rescind the purchase contract. Modern Auctions, Inc. will reimburse the buyer for no more than the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium and only after the item is returned to the original point of sale in the condition in which it was sold. Taxes, packing, shipping and storage costs will not be reimbursed. Modern Auctions, Inc. is not liable for any costs, such as experts and attorney’s fees. If the item is authentic, as stated in the Modern Auctions, Inc. catalogue, then the purchaser shall bear Modern Auctions, Inc’s expenses incurred in defense of the allegation, such as attorney’s fees and other costs. The limited right of rescission is only available to the original purchaser from Modern Auctions, Inc. Once the item is resold, then all rights and liabilities of Modern Auctions, Inc. regarding authenticity end. THE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST MODERN AUCTIONS, INC. FOR ANY REASON IS THE LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. The purchaser shall not be entitled to damages, compensatory, incidental, consequential, nominal or punitive, nor any expenses incurred during the proceedings, such as expert fees, attorney’s fees and other costs.

RIGHTS TO PHOTOGRAPHSIt is important to note that the images printed in this catalogue are considered intellectual property and are copyrighted. Buyers do not acquire the rights to reproduce any images in any form.
