Provenance

With "Samella" Scott depicts his friend and fellow native of New Orleans, Samella Lewis. A pioneer of African American art education, Lewis taught at Scripps College as a professor of art history and the humanities between 1968 and 1984. Scott created this print to celebrate Lewis's 80th birthday. The different angles of Lewis' head give the print a feeling of movement that gives the portrait life. The scenes of African American life below these portraits tie Lewis into a larger African American narrative.

Notes

John Scott was born in New Orleans and raised in the city's Lower Ninth Ward. Scott studied at Xavier University of Louisiana and in 1963 he began studies at Michigan State University from which he received his MFA in 1965. During his time at Michigan State, Scott worked as an assistant to his professors, sculptor Robert Weil and painter/printmaker Charles Pollock (the brother of artist Jackson Pollock). Scott returned to New Orleans in 1965, to serve as professor of fine arts at Xavier University, where he taught for more than 40 years. He gained national recognition during the 1980s and in 1992 the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation awarded Scott the MacArthur Fellowship, or 'genius grant', given to individuals who demonstrate exceptional creativity in their fields of endeavour. Scott's work frequently displayed themes related to African-American life, particularly the rich Afro-Caribbean culture and musical heritage of New Orleans. The single largest public collection of John Scott's work is permanently displayed at the Louisiana Humanities Center of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Scott's work is also included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Amistad Research Center Collection in New Orleans, Loyola University of New Orleans, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, among others. John Scott passed away in September 2007 at the age of 67.

2. The total purchase price of each lot shall include the successful hammer price of the lot together with a buyer's premium of 18% of the hammer price. All prices are in Canadian Dollars.

3. A Goods and Services Tax of 5% will be charged on the hammer price and buyer's premium on all lots shipped to Canadian Provinces other than Saskatchewan. A Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5% and a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) of 6% will be added to the successful hammer price and buyer's premium for all lots purchased by Saskatchewan residents or for delivery within Saskatchewan. However, the first $300 of hammer price for each previously owned artwork is PST exempt. Goods shipped outside of Canada are not subject to any sales tax.

4. Although Saskatchewan Network for Art Collecting takes great care and diligence in cataloging of lots offered for auction, all property is sold "as is" and neither we nor our consignors or agents make any warranties or representations as to the correctness of the catalogue entry or other descriptions contained therein, of the physical conditions, size, authenticity, or quality.

5. Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if the purchaser can provide, within 28 days of the sale of any lot, written opinion from at least two acknowledged experts or authorities that the said lot was incorrectly described in the catalogue, and if the purchaser returns the said lot within 28 days after such notice in the same condition as sold, we as agent for the consignor will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price.

6. We reserve the right to withdraw any property up to the moment of sale.

7. If the auctioneers decide, irrespective of any publicized or catalogued estimate, that any opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, they may reject the bid and withdraw the lot from sale, and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, they decide that any advance thereafter is insufficient, they may reject the advance.

8. With the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, title to the lot being offered will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, subject to the conditions set forth herein. The successful bidder thereupon will pay the full purchase price and assume full risk and responsibility for the said lot. All property must be removed by the purchaser at his or her expense not later than sixty business days following its sale and if not so removed a handling charge of 2% of the purchase price per month will be payable by the purchaser until the property is removed.
