Auction Overview:
Larry Saphire, a Yale graduate and former student at the Sorbonne, pursued a lifelong passion for both art and writing. A rare figure in the art world, he was an art scholar, publisher, collector, and dealer with a focus on French modernism and surrealism. Under his imprint, The Blue Moon Press, he wrote and published several books, including the acclaimed catalogue raisonnés of Fernand Léger and André Masson, edited and translated into French by his first wife, Marie-Madeleine Saphire. He also published Judgements by Matta and two illustrated poetry books—one by Masson and another, Sea Bird Saga, by Wallace Putnam. Larry maintained close friendships with artists like Masson, Dalí, Miró, Nadia Léger (Fernand Leger’s wife), and Matta, and
represented American artists such as Putnam and photographer Consuelo Kanaga, while promoting artists like Hank Laventhol, Rita Simon, and Murray Tinkelman. A respected authority on 20th-century European art, he was a trusted advisor to collectors, dealers, museums, and auction houses. This auction reflects the shared belief of Larry and Marie-Madeleine that art is the soul of civilization.

Bid Protection
Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction.
Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed. |
Buyer's premium
A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auctions is 25% of the successful bid (minimum $49) per lot.. |

Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction.
Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session. |
