Without limitation, and further to the terms of paragraph 12 above, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act (Canada). Based on certain criteria including, but not limited to, value and the length of time in which an object has been in Canada, a Cultural Property Export permit may be required in order to temporarily or permanently export an object from Canada. The buyer must pay for all purchases whether an export permit is issued or declined. 14. RESTRICTED MATERIALS: Under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Agreement (CITES), items offered for sale which contain restricted materials such as ivory, tortoiseshell, whalebone, sealskin, rhinoceros horn or other animal parts are not allowed by law to leave Canada or to be imported to most countries. It is the Buyer's responsibility to verify whether this restriction applies to their purchases prior to bidding. No sale shall be rescinded if the Buyer is remiss in this regard. You must ensure that you have reviewed your country's laws before you purchase or ship any works made from, or containing parts made from these restricted materials. It is your responsibility to obtain any necessary permits. No sale shall be rescinded if a permit (CITES or otherwise) cannot be obtained. We encourage you to visit the CITES website www.cites.org. If you wish us to apply for a CITES permit on your behalf after the auction, there is a $50 charge for each application. Submitting an application does not guarantee the issuance of a CITES permit. 15. DIGITAL IMAGES: Colour balance may vary with the digital photos posted to any of our online auction catalogues. We strongly recommend inspecting the object in person as you will notice a variance. 16. ESTIMATES: Pre-sale auction estimates are educated approximations based upon the sale of similar items. These are not necessarily selling prices, as the final bid may be above or below any estimate. 17. LIABILITY: Persons attending a preview, the auction or collecting goods, assume all risks of damage of or loss to person and property and specifically release the Auctioneer from liability. Neither the Auctioneer nor his principle shall be liable by reason of any defect in or condition of the premises on which the sale is held. 18.

The Auctioneer reserves the right to determine credit worthiness prior to registering a Buyer and may require banking or credit information and/or credit card information when doing so. 19. REMOVAL OF GOODS: Once the Buyer's account is settled, the Buyer then has the responsibility for the removal of their purchases. This transaction is separate from the purchase transaction. The Auctioneer may provide assistance to the buyer with packing or removing goods from the auction floor once sold but we are not responsible for any damage which may occur during that time. Clients are further advised that removal of large furniture, rugs, sets of china and crystal, large paintings, etc. may only be removed at the end of the sale session. It is the responsibility of the buyer to bring sufficient wrapping material and boxes, etc. In the event of fire or theft of goods the Auctioneer's liability will be to the amount of the hammer price only. All purchases must be removed from the Auctioneer's premises within ten (10) days of the date of the sale. After this time, storage charges in the amount of $5 per lot per day will accrue and other charges may be incurred. We are not responsible for the security of goods left after the removal deadline. 20. PACKING and SHIPPING OF GOODS: The Auctioneer offers a packing and shipping service as a beneficial service to its Buyers. This is an optional service and Buyers should feel free to have others handle their packing and shipping needs provided the purchased item(s) are picked up within tem (10) working days of the date of sale. Our packing and shipping service is provided on a 'Best Efforts' basis and turnaround times will vary depending on the volume of lots sold during the various times of the year. There will be fees for this service and the Auctioneer or handler will proceed only at the Buyer's risk and expense. Please inquire directly with the Auctioneer for a packing/shipping/insurance estimate prior to sale. All estimates are provided on a best-efforts basis and the actual packing and shipping charge may be greater or less than the estimate. There is a minimum charge of $30 plus applicable sales taxes per shipment. Customs duty, sales taxes and brokerage fees as assessed by Government or third party firms are separate from any shipping quote the Auctioneer may provide and are the sole responsibility of the Buyer. For international shipments leaving Canada, WALKERS will only state the actual value of an item on Customs documentation. It is illegal in Canada to declare a false value for an item knowing the item has a higher value (as shown by recent sale). Lots damaged in transit as a result of Customs or Government inspection or improper repacking are not covered by any insurance offered by the Auctioneer or shipper regardless if insurance has been paid for or not. All shipping inquires should be directed to: shipping@walkersauctions.com. 21. ABANDONMENT: It is a Buyer's responsibility to either pick up their item(s) within ten (10) days of the date of sale, or to arrange shipping of their item(s) with our shipping department or using a shipper of the Buyer's choice. In the event purchased item(s) are still in our warehouse and in our possession six (6) months after the auction end date, regardless of payment being received or not, the item(s) will be considered to be 'abandoned' and 'surrendered' to the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer shall have the right to sell or donate the item(s) as he sees fit with any proceeds from sale going to the account of the Auctioneer. 22.

Walker's is pleased and proud to present our fourteenth collection of Inuit and First Nations art, Wednesday, May 16, 2018 in Ottawa. It's another terrific selection of works gathered from North American and European collections. We are happy to offer more masterpieces from several important American collections including the Albrecht Collection in Scottsdale, the Sam Wagonfeld Collection in Denver and the Joshua Pruzansky Collection in New York, as well as collections from Chicago, Minneapolis and other cities. We are also pleased to offer important works from Canadian collections including the estate of Peter Murdoch. In 1947, at the tender age of eighteen, Murdoch began a ten-year career as a Hudson's Bay Company trading clerk and manager in several Arctic communities, managed the Patient Rehabilitation Centre in Frobisher Bay in the early 1960s (where many Inuit began carving), and devoted the rest of his life to building and nurturing FCNQ, the co-operative federation in Nunavik (Arctic Quebec). Peter Murdoch was inducted into the Order of Canada in 2015. Another collection of note is from the estate of the renowned pharmacologist Mark Nickerson, who came to Canada as a political refugee from the U.S. in the 1950s. He created one of the North America's foremost departments of Pharmacology at the University of Manitoba, befriended George Swinton, and became an enthusiastic Inuit art collector. We are truly grateful to all of our Canadian and international consignors. The Inuit auction highlights are almost too numerous to mention. They include a rare and lively Boat with Hunters and Dogs by Joe Talirunili; the gorgeous and important large Untitled hanging by Jessie Oonark; a brilliant Figure by Karoo Ashevak; a fabulous Owl-Bear by Latcholassie; the stunning Owl and Walking Caribou by Osuitok Ipeelee; a powerful Salluit Mother Nursing a Child by Mary Irqiquq Sorusiluk; the imposing Janus-Faced Head by John Tiktak; a compelling Dancing Bear by Pauta Saila; two important early sculptures by Henry Evaluardjuk; an outstanding Mother and Two Children by Johnny Inukpuk; an important early Mother and Child by Judas Ullulaq; a riveting Mother and Child by an anonymous Inukjuak master; the wonderful Umiaq Adventure by Davidialuk; important sculptures by Luke Iksiktaaryuk, John Tiktak, John Kavik, John Pangnark, Lucy Tasseor and Jackoposie Oopakak; superb early Cape Dorset graphics by Kenojuak, Sheouak, Pudlo and Qabaroak; lovely Baker Lake drawings by Luke Anguhadluq, Oonark and others; beautiful textile hangings and a beaded amautiq; and terrific contemporary drawings and sculptures. First Nations highlights include a varied and important selection of paintings by Norval Morrisseau, including Onaman Beaver Blood Legend and Legendary Animals (both c. 1965) and Looking Above Oneself c. 1980; a rare, early and stunning Haida figural argillite composition c. 1830-1850; an important Haida model canoe with figures from the 1890s; a moving religious-themed Tlingit pole from the 1870s; and other lovely historical and contemporary sculptures and paintings. We offer our sincere thanks to the many collectors who support our efforts to bring Canadian Inuit and First Nations art to the world. We hope that you will enjoy viewing and reading this latest catalogue. Your questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome. Please feel to contact me anytime.
