TERMS OF AUCTION

Extract from the Rules of Procedure, as of April 2022


The auctions are conducted in accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Widder Auctions of Kunsthandel Widder GmbH. The exact wording of these rules is available at the auction house and can be downloaded from www.widderauktionen.com.


Estimated prices, starting price, minimum sale price, limit, hammer price

In object descriptions, an upper and lower estimated price is stated in euros. The highest bid is expected within this range. The starting price is also stated online. As a rule, the starting price is the lower estimated price, but it

can be set higher or lower. The auctioneer increases the price by steps of approx. 10%, although it is possible to deviate from this. The highest bid wins, provided that the minimum selling price has been reached. If the seller decides not to sell the object below a fixed price, this is called the minimum sale price or limit. If this is not reached, the sale is considered conditional. Highest bidders are obliged to pay the purchase price within 7 days after invoicing.


Purchase price

The purchase price consists of the highest bid plus the buyer's premium, sales tax and, if applicable, the fee of artists resale rights. The buyer's premium amounts to 28% in case of differential taxation. The sales tax is included in the differential taxation.

In the case of normal taxation (marked ° ), a premium of 24% is added to the highest bid. For paintings, watercolors, drawings and sculptures, the statutory sales tax of 13% is added to the sum of the highest bid and the buyer's premium, for all other objects 20%.


Resale Right

Items marked * are subject to the resale right. This will be charged in the form of a surcharge on the highest bid. It only applies to highest bids over € 2,499.99 and is staggered: for the first € 50,000 4% will be charged. Thereafter, for each additional €150,000, 3% and 1% respectively, and for €500,000 and above, 0.25%. The maximum resale right charge is 12,500 €.

Véra Rockline was a Russian-French post-impressionist painter. She first studied in the studio of Ilya Ivanovich Mashkov in Moscow. In 1918 she began training in the studio of Alexandra Alexandrovna Exter in Kiev. Exter, known to Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire, had a great influence on Rockline's early style. In 1918 and 1919 she participated in the 14th Exhibition of the Moscow Artists' Association, and in 1922 in the Russian section of the Salon d'Automne and in the Salon des Tuleries. The journalist and critic Raymond Escholier praised her nudes. After beginnings under the influence of Cubism and Impressionism, Rockline found her own style, "somewhere between Courbet and Renoir, " according to "L'Art et les Artistes." Admirers and patrons included Paul Poiret and the poet Charles Vildrac. The Russian exile and impressionist Sinaida Yevgenyevna Serebryakova, who lived in Paris, became a close friend of hers. Rediscovered not least as a result of an exhibition in 2002 in Montparnasse, "Elles de Montparnasse", where her works were shown together with works by Tamara de Lempicka, Marie Laurencin, Chana Orloff Sonia Delaunay and Nataliya Sergeyevna Goncharova.
