If you are tax-exempt, you can submit your tax-exempt certificate to prevent the collection of tax. a) Out of state taxes: As a result of recent and ongoing legislation, most U.S. states now require businesses to collect and remit sales tax on online purchases made from their states. Regardless of where sellers are located, they are required to charge tax on internet orders if the state mandates it. Each state has different requirements and thresholds on what is taxed and how much. Note that purchases shipped to or picked up in states that do not impose sales tax will not be subject to tax. b) Sales Tax Exemption: Lake County Florida state sales tax is 7%. Applicable Sales or use taxes will be added to the purchase price of taxable purchases. To be sales tax exempt, a current sales tax exemption certificate, including sales tax exemption number, must be presented to RBFineArts CFL Inc to avoid paying sales tax. AUCTION CATALOGS: Catalogs, brochures, and internet descriptions are guides only based on information from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted. The auctioneer will not be liable for any errors or omissions. Statements made by Auctioneer and/or staff of Auctioneer whether oral or written, are only opinions and should not be construed as statements of fact. All measurements are approximate. a) Rugs: RBFineArts CFL Inc does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. b) Jewelry: Regarding jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. c) Clocks and Watches: Due to their delicate nature, all clocks and watches are sold as not working even though they may be working. d) Antiques: Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description. e) Artwork: Because artwork is known to be copied from pre-existing examples, the dating of such objects is often difficult to ascertain and opinions vary from expert to expert. Due to this, RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests all potential bidders or a representative to meticulously inspect any and all items prior to bidding. Any reference to a specific time period and/or culture are only the opinion of RBFineArts CFL Inc and are not a guarantee of authenticity. If the bidder or a representative cannot inspect an item in person prior to the auction, then RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests that you do not place a bid on the lot. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding the condition should call 877-660-3271 or (352) 508-5738 or info@rbfinearts.net, prior to the auction. RBFineArts CFL Inc advises buyers to examine the item before placing a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed.

REGISTRATION: Bidder must register for the Auction before his/her bid will be accepted. Proper identification and credit card information will be required. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to register any prospective bidder for any reason. CUSTOMER AND CLIENT CONDUCT: While visiting our gallery to preview auction items, to pick up any items, or to drop off any items, should you act in a way that causes offense or might cause danger to others or which risks damage to property belonging to others you will be asked to promptly leave, and face law enforcement being called. Further, RBFineArts CFL Inc reserves the right to hold you liable for reimbursement for any expenses incurred because of any damage or injury.

ABSENTEE BIDS: Please adhere to the bidding increments. It is possible that an item could go to another bidder for the same amount as your absentee bid. For example, if your maximum Internet bid on an item is $325.00 and the required opening bid is $300.00, the Internet auction software will only bid $300.00 since that is all that is required to start the Auction. The Auction begins with you at $300.00. The next increment would be $325.00, if no one else bids you will be declared the winner. If a live auction bidder bids $325.00, they are at $325.00, not you. We always encourage bidders to bid by phone or to leave absentee bids through our gallery to avoid this.

AUCTION PROCEDURES: RBFineArts CFL Inc. auctions items at approximately 60 lots per hour. Occasionally, the bidding software or your internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction or the floor may respond before the internet bid is presented to the auctioneer. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid for the live Internet auction before the auction begins as insurance to avoid this. Occasionally, the Auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Internet bid, or the auctioneer may reopen a lot after the close of the live internet bidding. In this case, we may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via the internet, you agree that RBFineArts CFL Inc. may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances.

§ JOHN MINTON (BRITISH, 1917-1957) JOHN MINTON (BRITISH, 1917-1957) Street Scene, Morocco signed and dated 'John/Minton/1953' (lower left) gouache, watercolour and ink 28 x 38 in. (11 x 15 in.) Provenance With Redfern Gallery, London, where purchased by the previous owner As a key figure in the Neo-Romantic movement, Mintonâs work is characterized by its emotive landscapes, melancholic figures, and a sense of poetic nostalgia. This movement, emerging in the 1930s and 1940s, emphasized emotion and fantasy, often returning to pastoral themes with a modern sensibility. Mintonâs paintings and illustrations captured these elements with a distinctive style that set him apart in the British art scene. Mintonâs travels to Morocco in the late 1940s were a turning point in his artistic development. The vibrant life, bustling markets, and diverse landscapes of Morocco provided him with a wealth of visual inspiration. Accompanied by his friend Norman Bowler, Minton embarked on a journey to Morocco in the late 1940s. Their travels took them through bustling markets, winding streets, and majestic desert landscapes, providing Minton with a wealth of visual and cultural inspiration. âThe Sheltering Skyâ by Paul Bowles, a novel set in North Africa, had a profound impact on Minton during his time in Morocco. Bowlesâ evocative prose and exploration of themes such as existentialism, alienation, and the clash of cultures resonated deeply with Mintonâs own experiences and observations.

λ JOHN MINTON (BRITISH 1917-1957)GORBALS CHILDRENPen, ink and blue washSigned (lower right)18.5 x 24.5cm (7¼ x 9½ in.)Executed circa 1945.Provenance:Dr. William Dameshek, Boston, MassachusettsDr. Lee Dameshek, Pittsburgh (a gift from his uncle)The present drawing relates to a fully finished watercolour Scottish City - The Gorbals dating from 1945, exhibited at the Redfern Gallery and acquired by the British Museum. The work was probably produced in 1945 when Minton was sharing a studio and flat at 77 Bedford Gardens, London with 'the Roberts': Scottish artists, Robert Colquhoun and Robert MacBryde. Minton had suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of his wartime experience and was discharged from the army in 1943. The Roberts took him in and Minton benefitted from their encouragement and support. Gorbals Children demonstrates Minton's assimilation of Picasso in the flattened shapes of the children's heads in the foreground and his response to Colquhoun and MacBryde's figurative expressionism. He was fascinated by the romanticism of the urban landscape and the drawing forms part of a body of work by Minton depicting the buildings and people of the Gorbals area of Glasgow. A fully worked watercolour version of this study is in the Northampton Town and County Art Society.

Her diaries from 1945 to 1954 record that Minton visited 'Marshalls' several times a year, returning to London from his trips with sheaves of drawings. 'He drew the nut grove in the Lamonts' garden and the surrounding countryside, especially the view over the Weald found within two minutes' walk from their house. With Edie, he made drawing expeditions to Little Chart Forstal, Frittenden and Tenterden. His Kent landscapes had contributed significantly to the success of his 1945 Roland, Browse and Delbanco exhibition...'
