WHYTE’S GUARANTEE OF AUTHENTICITY
Whyte’s takes especial care to ensure that all works offered in this
catalogue are as described and are the work of the artists they are
attributed to. In the event of any work sold from this catalogue to
be subsequently proved to be a “deliberate forgery”, subject to our
terms and conditions of sale (especially Clause 5c) as printed
elsewhere in this catalogue Whyte’s will cancel the sale and refund to
the buyer the total amount paid by the buyer to Whyte’s for the
item, in the currency of the original sale. This guarantee is provided
for a period of seven (7) years after the date of the relevant auction,
and may be extended at Whyte’s discretion.
ABSENTEE BIDDING:
youmay bid before the sale, using the
form provided. Enter the maximum you are prepared to offer for
each lot and the auctioneer will represent you as if you are personally
attending the sale. Lots are knocked down at one step above the
next highest bid, and not necessarily at your highest bid. Example:
your bid is €1,000 and next highest bid is €800 – the hammer price is
€850.
LIMIT BIDDING:
Absentee bidders may limit their total purchases to a
set amount by entering their limit on the bidding form. This is
especially useful for bidders wishing to cover as many lots as possible
while setting a maximum amount to spend.

EQUAL BIDS:
In the event of equal bids being received for the same
lot the first received will be given preference. If the instruction
“break ties” is entered on the bid form the auctioneer will increase the
bid by one step in the event of equal bids being received or in the
event of a tiewith a room bidder.

In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty
as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding

Unless otherwise instructed bids of “Buy” or “Buy at
Best” shall be taken to indicate bids of up to three times the stated
higher estimate in the catalogue.

use this term for prints of works by the artist.

are licensed to hold public auctions, only allows for lots to be
handed over to purchasers when paid for in full.
