The collection of Native American Art belonging

to Anne S. and Robert E. Clay originated during

a trip to New Mexico where the Clays gained a

lifelong appreciation of Native American Art.

Mr and Mrs. Clay emerged as enthusiastic

collectors with a devotion to the modern

masters of Pueblo pottery, Navajo weavings

and Southwestern jewelry. As their collection

became more sophisticated, they developed

strong relationships with respected curators,

dealers, and artists in the Southwest. They

faithfully attended and volunteered at the Indian

Market in Santa Fe for 30 years. Several of the

items in the collection are works commissioned

directly from artists they met personally and have

never been seen by the public.

Mr. Clay was a registered Electrical Engineer and

consulting Engineer in Denver for over 40 years.

He was well-known amongst his engineering

colleagues for wearing one of his many bolo ties

by famed jewelers such as Charles Loloma, Julian

Lovato, Harvey Begay, Ric Charlie, Victor Beck

and Richard Chavez. As the Clay’s collection

grew, the couple searched for representative

examples of the major styles of Pueblo pottery,

weavings and jewelry, and for works which

stood out for their uniqueness. Due to his

keen interest in weavings, Mr. Clay became an

expert on the mythology and history of Native

American Sandpaintings. He was a founding

member of The Douglas Society at the Denver Art

Museum and he was a guest speaker on the topic

of Sandpaintings. In 2006 he was honored by

his fellow Douglas Society members and given

the prestigious Circle of Honor Award. The Clays

also amassed an extensive collection of historical

books on Native American Art and culture which

was donated to the Wheelwright Museum,

Santa Fe in 2011. Mrs. Clay was a collector

and supporter of Native American Arts in her

own right. Although, her interest was mostly in

jewelry and pottery, she was a lover of words

and a natural story teller as a result she became

interested in Storyteller figurines.

During their 60 years of marriage, Mr. and Mrs.

Clay were grateful for their interesting travels

and great friendships that led them through

their study and collecting of Native American Art.

Through the years they have made donations

from their collection to the Denver Art Museum

and loans to various other institutions. We are

honored to have the opportunity to work with

such an extensive collection and to present it as

the inaugural auction in our Denver saleroom.

Guide for Prospective Sellers Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 303.825.1855 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary.

Standard Commission RatesOur standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price.

Shipping ArrangementsLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

Appraisals

Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 303.825.1855 for further information.

Guide for Prospective Buyers Conditions of SaleLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue.

ExhibitionsLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process.

EstimatesLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

BEFORE THE SaLEProspective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold.

aT THE SaLE

Refusal of AdmissionLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

Registration before BiddingA prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.

Bidding as PrincipalWhen making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.

Absentee BidsWe will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.

Telephone BidsOn lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.

Online BidsWe will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

ReservesSome lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.

Auctioneer’s DiscretionThe auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.

Successful BidThe highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion.
