All of the artworks in the PRC Benefit Auction are provided framed. However, should the piece need to be shipped, it might need to be unframed (if framed using glass) and we may not be able to provide the frame or the glass.

CONDITIONS
OF SALE
Items will be offered for sale in the same order in which they are listed here. The prints in this auction have been matted and framed before the sale for protection. We make no representation as to condition of any lot sold except where noted in this catalogue, and generally no reference to imperfection is made in the catalogue description. All lots are sold as is. Perspective purchasers should personally view lots to evaluate their condition.
The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject a bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and, in the event of dispute, to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. On the fall of the auctioneer's gavel, title of the offered lot shall pass to the buyer, who shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the purchase, supply his or her name and address, and pay the full purchase price. Should there be any dispute after the sale, the auctioneer's record of final sale shall be conclusive.
Estimates are furnished only as a service to prospective bidders. They signify the appropriate price range that we expect each lot to realize. These estimates have been prepared well in advance and are subject to change. If a lot is subject to a reserve (a confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold), we will implement reserve bidding on behalf of the consignor. Consignors are not allowed to bid on their own items.
