staff member will call you approximately 5 lots in advance and
with your instruction, bid on your behalf at the auction.
Please note: Telephone Bids must be organised at least 24
hours prior to the auction and that occasionally, the number
of telephone bidders available may be restricted when the

telephone or if you simply have a strict budget.
An Absentee Bid should be set at the maximum amount
you wish to bid on the lot/s you are interested in purchasing.
Should the lot/s be knocked down at an amount lower than
the bid recorded on your form, the lot will be sold to you for
the lesser hammer price.

was in its infancy. Formed in 1995, the Art Gang is
comprised of local artists spanning generations who
work out of the Centre to produce works of art across
differing media including acrylic painting, ceramics,
weaving and carving.
The group started by concentrating on the production
of fine art printmaking and has evolved to into a
recognised group of talented artists that tell traditional
“I remember the frenzy that was in the
community, the excitement that Archie Roach
and Ruby Hunter were coming to Coen.”
– Lucretia Creek, Coen Resident
and cultural stories from their areas of Country. The Art
Gang has nurtured artists including Fiona Omeenyo
and Rosella Namok, who have gone on to gain
international recognition for their work.
Lockhart River artists are represented by galleries
across Australia and across the globe including;
• Art Mob Gallery, Hobart Tasmania
• Kate Owen Gallery, Sydney NSW

2. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers
as Agent
Except as otherwise stated Gibson's acts as agent
for the Seller.
The contract for the Sale of the property is therefore
made between the Seller and the Buyer.
3. Before the Sale
A) EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY
Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine
in person any property in which they are interested
before the Auction takes place. Neither Gibson's
nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to
the nature of the property apart from the Limited
Warranty in the paragraph below.
The property is otherwise sold “as is”.
B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS
All statements by Gibson's in the catalogue entry for
the property or in the condition report, or made orally
or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion
and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact.
Such statements do not constitute a representation,
warranty or assumption of liability by Gibson's of
any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the
condition report, including damage or restoration
are for guidance only and should be evaluated by
personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable
representative. The absence of such a reference
does not imply that an item is free from defects or
restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects
imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the
selling price should not be relied on as a statement
that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s
value for any other purpose. Neither Gibson's nor the
Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the
catalogue or any supplemental material.
Images are measured height by width. Illustrations
are provided only as a guide and should not be relied
upon as a true representation of colour or condition.
Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention
is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as
supplementary images on the website) which do
not form part of the Lot as described in the printed
catalogue.
All transactions are in Australian Dollars so there
may be a small exchange rate risk, for international
Buyers. The costs associated with acquiring a goods
certificate will be borne by the Buyer. If the item
turns out to be a Forgery or otherwise incorrectly
described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the
Seller.
C) BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY
All property is sold “as is” without representation or
warranty of any kind by Gibson's or the Seller. Buyers
are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning
the condition of the property and the matters referred
to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report
4. At the Sale
A) REFUSAL OF ADMISSION
Gibson's reserves the right at our complete discretion
to refuse admission to the Auction premises or
participation in any Auction and to reject any Bid.
B) REGISTRATION BEFORE BIDDING
Any new Prospective Buyer must complete and
sign a registration form and provide photographic
identification before Bidding. Gibson's may
request bank, trade or other financial references to
substantiate this registration.
C) BIDDING AS A PRINCIPAL
When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal
liability to pay the purchase price including the
Buyer's Premium and all applicable taxes, plus
all other applicable charges, unless it has been
explicitly agreed in writing with Gibson's before
the commencement of the Sale that the Bidder is
acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party
acceptable to Gibson's and that Gibson's will only
look to the principal for payment.
D) INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATIONS
All international clients not known to Gibson's will
be required to scan or fax through an accredited
form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our
discretion in cleared funds into Gibson's account
at least 48 hours before the commencement of
the Auction. Bids will not be accepted without
this deposit. Gibson's also reserves the right to
request any additional forms of identification prior to
registering an overseas Bid.
This deposit can be made using a credit card,
however the balance of any purchase price in excess
of $5,000 can not be charged to this card without
prior arrangement. This deposit is redeemable
against any Auction purchase.
E) ABSENTEE BIDS
Gibson's will use reasonable efforts to execute written
Bids delivered to us at least 24 hours prior to the
Sale for the convenience of those clients who are
unable to attend the Auction in person. If Gibson's
receives identical written Bids on a particular Lot, and
at the Auction these are the highest Bids on that Lot,
then the Lot 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 or omissions which may arise. It is
the Bidder’s responsibility to check with Gibson's
after the Auction if they were successful. Unlimited
or “Buy” Bids will not be accepted. Please refer to our
indicative Bidding increments below for appropriate
absentee Bid amounts (Section K).
F) TELEPHONE BIDS
Priority will be given to overseas and interstate
Bidders. Arrangements for this service must be
confirmed at least 24 hours prior to the Auction
commencing. Gibson's accepts no responsibility
whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute Bids.
In telephone Bidding the Buyer agrees to be bound
by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts
that Gibson's cannot be held responsible for any
miscommunications in the process. The success
of telephone Bidding cannot be guaranteed due to
circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should
be aware of the risk and accept the consequences
should contact be unsuccessful at the time of
Auction. You must advise Gibson's of the Lots in
question and recommend a ‘Cover Bid’ amount
should there be any issues with technology or
communication via the telephone number provided.
Gibson's will advise Telephone Bidders who have
registered at least 24 hours before the Auction of any
relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any
other Sale room notices.
G) ONLINE BIDDING
Gibson's accepts no responsibility for any
errors, failure to execute Bids or any other
miscommunications regarding this process. It is the
online Bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy
of the relevant information regarding Bids, Lot
numbers and contact details.

103
H) RESERVES
Unless otherwise indicated, all Lots are offered
subject to a Reserve, which is the confidential
minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold.
The Reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed
in the catalogue. 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 Seller up to the amount
of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive Bids or
by placing Bids in response to other Bidders.
I) AUCTIONEERS DISCRETION
The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole
discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the Bidding
in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or
divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and,
in the case or 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
re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute
arises after the Sale, then Gibson's Sale record is
conclusive.
J) SUCCESSFUL BID AND PASSING OF RISK
Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, on the
acceptance of a Bid by the fall of the Auctioneer's
hammer, a contract of sale is made between the
Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the
Lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes
immediately to the Buyer. Gibson's shall not be liable
for any breach of contract by either the Seller or
the Buyer.
K) INDICATIVE BIDDING STEPS, ETC.

packing of goods but takes no responsibility for loss,
damage or breakage that may occur.
Gibson's at the request of the Buyer may arrange

packed, insured and shipped at the Buyer’s
expense. All packing, shipping, insurance, postage &
associated charges will be borne by the purchaser.
Gibson's can assist with removal companies that the
Buyer can use but takes no responsibility whatsoever
for the actions of any recommended third party.
F) CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPORT LICENCES
Unless otherwise agreed by Gibson's in writing, the
fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export
licence does not affect their obligation to make full
payment immediately, nor Gibson's right to charge
interest or storage charges on late payment. It is
the responsibility of the Buyer to check Australia’s
Protection of Moveable Cultural Heritage Act 1986
prior to purchase. Export/import licences applications
are the responsibility of the Buyer and/or the Buyer's
nominated shipper. Gibson's shall not be obliged to
rescind a Sale nor to refund any expenses incurred by
the Buyer in circumstances where an export licence
is not granted.
G) REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT
If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately,
Gibson's is entitled to exercise one or more of the

any other rights or remedies available under the law)

rate as published weekly in the Australian
Financial Review;
ii)

to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the
total amount due and to commence legal
proceedings for it’s recovery along with interest,
legal fees and costs to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law;
to cancel the Sale;
to resell the property publicly or privately on
such terms as we see fit;
v) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net
proceeds payable in respect of the amount Bid
by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances
the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon

an amount greater than the original invoiced
amount;
vi)
to offset against any amounts which Gibson's
may owe the Buyer across any other
transactions;
viii) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by
or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit
from the Buyer prior to accepting any Bids;
ix)
to exercise all the rights and remedies of a
person holding security over any property in
our possession owned by the Buyer whether by
way of pledge, security interest or in any other
way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of
the place where such property is located. The
Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such
security to us and we may retain such property
as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations
to us;
x) to take such other action as Gibson's deem
necessary or appropriate.
H) FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES
Where purchases are not collected within three (3)
days from the Sale date, whether or not payment has
been made, Gibson's shall be permitted to:
i) remove, store and further insure the Lot at the
expense of the Buyer, releasing only after full
payment has been received from the Buyer for
incurred costs;
ii)
iii)
re-sell the Lot without Reserve by Auction,
private treaty or any other means whereby the
Buyer agrees not to challenge the resale price
achieved
rescind the Sale of that Lot or any other Lot sold
by the Seller to the Buyer at the same or any
other Auction
If Gibson's do re-sell the property under clauses H
and G, the defaulting Buyer agrees to be liable for
all payments of any deficiency between the total
amount originally due and the price obtained, as well
as the legal as all costs, expenses, damages, legal
fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kinds
associated with both Sales or otherwise arising from
the default.
6. Extent of Gibson's Liability

the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out

nor we, nor any of our employees or agents are
responsible for the correctness of any statement of
whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written
or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in
description or for any faults or defects in any Lots.
Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the
Seller ourselves, our officers, agents or employees

assume any liability of any kind in respect of any

7. Limited Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions of this
paragraph, the warrants for the period of fourteen
(14) days from the date of the Sale that any property
described in this catalogue (noting such description
may be amended by any Saleroom notice or
announcement) which is stated without qualification
to be the work of a named author or authorship is
authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or
“authorship” refers to the creator of the property or
to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case
may be, with which the creation of such property is
identified in the catalogue.
The warranty is subject to the following:
i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue
description or Saleroom notice corresponded
to the generally accepted opinion of scholars
and experts at the date of the Sale or fairly
indicated that there was a conflict of opinions,
or b) correct identification of a Lot can be
demonstrated only by means of a scientific
process not generally accepted for use until
after publication of the catalogue or a process
which at the date of the publication of the
catalogue was unreasonably expensive or
impractical or likely to have caused damage to
the property.
ii)
iii)
iv)
the benefits of the warranty are not assignable
and shall apply only to the original Buyer of the
Lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by
Gibson's when the Lot was sold at Auction.
the original Buyer must have remained the owner
of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it
to any third party
The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against
the Seller in place of any other remedy which
might be available, is the cancellation of the
Sale and the refund of the original purchase
price paid for the Lot less the Buyer's Premium
which is non refundable. Neither the Seller nor
Gibson's will be liable for any special, incidental
nor consequential damages including, without
limitation, loss of profits not for interest.
v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim
to us within fourteen (14) days of the date of
the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to
require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions
by recognised experts in the field, mutually

decide whether or not to cancel the Sale under
warranty.
vi)
the Buyer must return the Lot to Seller in the
same condition that it was purchased.
8. Severability

court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part
shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions
shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
9. Copyright
The copyright of all images, illustrations and written
material produced by Gibson's relating to a Lot
including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall
remain the property at all times of Gibson's and
shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else
without our prior written consent. Gibson's and the
Seller make no representation or warranty that the
Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other
reproduction rights in it.
10. Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions and any matters
concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the
Auction is held.
11. Pre-Sale Estimates
Gibson's publishes with each catalogue our opinion
as to the estimated price range for each Lot. These
estimates are approximate prices only and are not
intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in
advance of the Sale and may be subject to revision.
Interested parties should contact Gibson's prior to
Auction for updated pre-Sale estimates and starting
prices.
12. Sale results
After the Sale, Gibson's may publish (both verbally
and in writing) the results of Sale at our discretion,
including the prices achieved for specific Lots.
Unless otherwise discussed with the Buyer, details of
individual Buyers will remain confidential.
13. Goods and Service Tax
In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods and
Services Tax) Act 1999, Gibson's Auctions will collect
on behalf of the Australian Tax Office (ATO) a Goods
and Service Tax (GST) of 10% on all applicable
transactions.
GST is applicable on the Hammer Price in the case
where the Seller is selling property that is owned by
an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable
on the Hammer Price in the case where the Seller is
not an Australian resident. These Lots are denoted
by a dagger symbol † placed next to the estimate.
GST is also applicable on the Buyer's Premium.
Overseas Buyers and non-resident Buyers in Australia
will not be charged GST on both Hammer Price and
Premiums under the following conditions:
1. The items are exported through a Gibson's
approved freight company including Australia
Post
2. The items are exported within 60 days of the
date of the Sale
The invoice supplied by Gibson's for purchases will be
regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes.
14. Resale Royalty Scheme
Under the legal obligations of the Resale Royalty
Scheme for Visual Artists Act 2009, Sellers must
provide the following information to comply with
the act:
• was the artwork acquired after 8 June 2010?
• is the Sale/Reserve price (including GST) $1,000
or more?
• is the artist from Australia or a country listed in
the Regulations to the Act?
• is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70
years?
The Seller:
i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or
her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty for
Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act);
ii)
iii)
iv)
undertakes to comply with all requirements of
the Act, including by providing its agent, the
company, with accurate information sufficient for
compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the Act;
undertakes to indemnify the company for any
loss incurred by the company as a result of
the vendor’s failure to comply with any of the
vendor’s legal obligations under the Act; and
acknowledges that if he or she fails to comply
with any of his or her legal obligations under
the Act, the company may provide the vendor’s
name and contact details to Copyright Agency
Limited (CAL).
Lots subject to payment of the Resale Royalty
Scheme will be denoted by the symbol §. The
Australian Resale Royalty is a flat rate of 5% on the
Hammer Price (including GST). The Australian Resale
Royalty is payable by the Seller in addition to the
Buyer's Premium plus any applicable GST.
15. Jewels & Watches
GEMSTONES
Gemstones have historically been subjected to a
variety of treatments to enhance their appearance.
Sapphire and rubies are routinely heat treated to
improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds
are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same
purpose. Other treatments such as staining or dyeing,
irradiation, filling or coating may have been used
on other precious and semi-precious gemstones
and organic material. These treatments may be
permanent, whilst others may need special care to
reserve their appearance. Buyers should assume that
each Lot has been subject to some form of treatment
and that the estimates reflect this.
A number of laboratories issue certificates that give
detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event
that Gibson's has been supplied with or obtained
certificates for any Lot, this shall be noted in the
catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus
between different laboratories on the degree, or
types of treatment of the gemstones, Gibson's
supplies these without warranty.
Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold
by Gibson's may have been subjected to such
treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect
this.
PEARLS
Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various
treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls
sold by Gibson's may have been subjected to such
treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect
this.
WATCHES
Please note: All watches sold by Gibson's are sold on
an “as is” basis. Gibson's makes no representation
or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many
watches have been repaired over their lifetime and
may contain non-original parts. The absence of any
reference to the condition of a watch does not imply
that the Lot is in good condition and without defects,
repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that
a general service, change of battery or further repair
work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible for,
may be necessary.
ESTIMATED WEIGHTS
If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed
out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight,
it is an approximate weight only and has been
measured by us in the mount and is a statement of
opinion only. The information is given as a guide only
and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to
this information as to its accuracy.
