NOTICE FOR COMPANY BIDDERS
If you are bidding on behalf of an entity and the entity already has
a MyChristie's account, the company's name will need to be entered as part of the registration process.
If
your company does not already have a MyChristie's account, you cannot register online at
www.onlineonly.christies.com. You will first need to create a MyChristie's account. In either situation,
Christie's may require that company to provide certain documents or meet certain qualifications as set forth below.
If you registered as a company bidder, your company will need to pay for any purchases via a credit card issued to
the company account and not a personal account. Christie's is not able to honor any reseller's certificates through
the online-only auction process for this sale and cannot grant any exemption upon check-out for applicable sales
tax. Successful company bidders will be charged sales tax, if applicable, as part of the check-out process. Buyers
claiming exemption and a refund must provide Christie's with the appropriate valid and up-to-date documentation and
Christie's will facilitate the process of a refund if possible.
CHRISTIE'S INTEREST IN PROPERTY
CONSIGNED FOR AUCTION
Where Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale, which
may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned
property, the lot description for such lot will include language indicating such interest. The language will apply
both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed
all or part of such interest through third parties.
PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED
AND OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES
Property made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) endangered
and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the lot description (or are identified in
the lot description with language indicating as such). It is the client's responsibility to determine and satisfy
the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of property containing
endangered and other protected wildlife material. The inability of a client to export or import property containing
endangered and other protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale. Lots
containing potentially regulated wildlife material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Christie's does
not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.

Lot Essay
“She was wearing black jeans, a Saint Laurent sweater over a black T-shirt, and Todd shoes. With her smoky eyes and thick auburn hair, she looks like the Ava Gardner ofNight of the Iguana.It’s not hard to see why Mick Jagger climbed through a bedroom window to get to her.” (G. Gurley, “Barbara of Beekman Place,” The New York Observer, New York, March, 26, 2007) The bedroom window incident refers to the summer of 1975, when Barbara Allen, a former flame of Peter Beard’s, was staying at the same house as Mick Jagger and Bob Colacello. According to Colacello, Jagger came stumbling in through his bedroom window, mistaking his room for Allen’s.
