This catalogue, as amended by any posted notices
or oral announcements during the sale, is the
Vancouver Art Gallery’s (Gallery) entire agreement
for the offer and purchase of property designated
by lot number listed herein. The following
Conditions and Terms of Sale are the complete and
only conditions and terms governing the property
offered for sale by this auction.
LIVeAnDSILenTAuCTIOn
1. The Gallery reserves the right to withdraw any
property before sale and to assign any lot to a
silent or live auction.
2. Unless otherwise announced by Barry Scott
(the auctioneer), all bids are per lot as
numbered in the catalogue.
3. The Gallery or auctioneer reserves the
right to reject any bid. The highest bidder
acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be
the purchaser. In the event of any dispute
between bidders, or in the event of doubt on
the Gallery’s part as to the validity of any bid,
the auctioneer will have the final discretion
either to determine the successful bidder or to
re-offer and resell the property in dispute. If any
dispute arises after the sale, at the discretion
of the Gallery, its sales record is conclusive. The
Gallery will execute order bids as a convenience
to prospective purchasers bidding using an
absentee bid form. However, the Gallery is not
responsible for any act or omissions therewith.
4. Each lot is offered subject to a reserve or
estimated price, which is the minimum price
below which such lot will not be sold. If bids are
below the reserve or estimated value of the lot
offered, the auctioneer may reject the same and
withdraw the lot from the sale or if in the case
of non-reserved lots, may accept the bid, and if,
having acknowledged an opening bid, decides
that any advance thereafter is insufficient, may
reject the advance and withdraw the lot from
further bidding.
5. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer a sale
occurs and the highest bidder acknowledged
by the auctioneer will be required to sign
a purchase confirmation or, if the bidder is
not present, to confirm the purchase by the
appropriate designated means, at which time
title to the offered lot will pass to the highest
bidder, subject to fulfillment by such bidder of
all conditions set forth herein, and thereupon
(a) assumes full risk and responsibility
therefore, and (b) will pay the full purchase
price. All sales are final—no purchase can be
returned, refunded or exchanged. Payment
will not be deemed to have been made in
full until the Gallery has collected funds
by authenticated credit card payments or
if auctioned items are paid for by cheque,
presentation of a credit card is also required to
guarantee payment.
6. Unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be
required to pay all taxes payable by being the
successful bidder for any lot.
7. These Conditions and Terms of Sale as well as
the purchaser’s and the Gallery’s respective
rights and obligations hereunder shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the Province of
British Columbia. By bidding at this auction,
whether present in person or by an agent, order
bid, or other means, the purchaser shall be
deemed to have consented to the jurisdiction of
the courts of the Province of British Columbia.
8. Neither Barry Scott nor the Gallery shall be
responsible for the acts or omissions of its
employees, agents nor any carriers or packers
of purchased lots. Packaging and handling of
purchased lots by the Gallery or its employees,
agents or designates is at the entire risk of the
purchaser. In no event will the Gallery’s liability
to a purchaser exceed the purchase price
actually paid and Barry Scott shall have no
liability in these circumstances whatsoever.
9. The Gallery assumes no responsibility for the
authenticity of the authorship of any property
listed in this catalogue including, but not limited
to, the identity of the creator or the period,

and no statement anywhere, whether oral or
written, shall be deemed such a warranty or
representation. Prospective bidders should
inspect the lot before bidding to determine its
condition, size and whether or not it has been
repaired or restored. The Gallery makes no

purchaser acquires any reproduction rights in
the property.

60" x 48"
Donated by Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa
Estimated Value: $30,000
In a recurring motif that typifies beauty, elegance and transformation, the butterfly played a prominent role in the work
of Jack Shadbolt. As Shadbolt wrote, “I saw the butterfly as a powerful symbol of the natural and spiritual will to survive
through change and transformation—a symbol all the more potent in contrast with the fragile and ephemeral beauty of
its subject.” His many works in this theme provide poignant metaphors of the cycle of life.

Beau Dick finds inspiration for his art in both his own heritage and in other traditions that express the powerful
mythology of his Kwakwaka’wakw culture. His distinctive technique has been described as a balance between a
powerful and theatrical Kwakwaka’wakw style of carving, with painting that blends traditional formline design and a
finger-rubbed finish. Dick’s work is held in numerous private collections, as well as the Canadian Museum of Civilization,

Estimated Value: $12,000
Jerry Pethick established an international reputation as a pioneer of holographic art. While much of his later work defies
categorization, he maintained his commitment to creating works that explored his long-standing interest in optics,
nature, alternative sciences and three-dimensional imaging. In 2006, Time Top, Pethick’s final major work designed prior
to his death in 2003, was installed on the north shore of False Creek near the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver.

argillite
11" x 11" x 1 1/4"
Donated by Donald Ellis
Courtesy of Donald Ellis Gallery Ltd., Dundas, Ontario
Estimated value: $12,500
This fine mid-19th century Haida plate is made from argillite, a carbonaceous shale quarried on Slatechuck Mountain
near Skidegate village on Haida Gwaii, also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. The rich, soft black slate is found in
only one location in the world. Haida artists began carving argillite to produce works for trade and sale to Euro-
Americans in the 1820s, evolving in subject and format through to the 1920s. From this material a new tradition evolved,
with the form and subject of the object changing almost decade by decade in response to market demand.

Estimated Value: $17,500
Fiona Tan’s works engage the traditional dialectic between the ethnographic claim to veritable objectivity of
unprejudiced witness and the personal travelogue as the search for the subjective. Her series of photographs from 2006
entitled West Pier I–V depict locations in Brighton, England. Tan was short listed for The Deutsche Borse Photography
Prize in 2008. Her work is currently featured in a solo exhibition at The Pinakotek der Moderne, Munich. Other solo
exhibitions include the de Pont Foundation, Tilburg, Villa Arson, Nice and Akademie der Kuenste, Berlin. The Vancouver
Art Gallery will present the exhibition Fiona Tan: Rise and Fall from October 3, 2009 through January 3, 2010.

collector resulted in a solo show in Toronto in 1959. Etrog became a Canadian citizen in 1963 and was chosen to
represent Canada at the 1966 Venice Biennale. Crafted primarily in bronze and more recently in rolled sheet metal,
Etrog’s sculptures are reminiscent of the structures of the human body or of the massive bolts and hinges of heavy
machinery, always suggesting a latent potential for movement.

Frank Hans Johnston began pursuing landscape painting before World War I with early sketching trips around Toronto
and farther north to Algonquin Park and to Hearst, north of Lake Superior. Although affiliated with the Group of Seven,
he announced his official resignation in 1924, saying he had no disagreement with the Group but wanted to go his own
way. Johnston’s style became increasingly realistic throughout his life with a particular fascination for the qualities of
light reflected from snow. This theme recurred in later works, particularly in his large narrative paintings of the 1930s
and 1940s. Johnston was able to achieve considerable financial success in his own lifetime.

Jack Shadbolt traveled to France in September of 1956 for a year of painting on a government fellowship. Together
with Doris, he settled for the first five months at Menton, France, near the Italian border. He was inspired by the light,
colour and warmth of the area, painting nearly fifty canvases in three months. Some paintings were more
representational in style, the result of Shadbolt’s desire to know more about the country before going on to more
abstract interpretations of a region so dramatically different from his own. In Shadbolt’s words, the paintings from this
time are “in a very real sense my private poetry, intended to evoke only, so that I can hold vivid, on my return to a gray
light, certain particularly cherished sensations.
