Lot 162
OUR CONSIGNOR HAS JUST INSTRUCTED US TO TAKE THE RESERVE OFF! ENJOY! Medium: Acrylic on heavy paper. Signature: Lower Right. Art Size: approx 8 x 11 in. New Frame: 14 x 17 in. Condition: Very good. This is an original acrylic painting on heavy paper, attributed to the world renowned, George Rodrigue. Rodrigue's series of his Blue Dog artwork has taken over the art arena as one of the most in-demand, highly collectible and valuable investment-grade art, worldwide. The inspiration for George Rodrigue's BLUE DOG artwork came from the remembrance of his childhood's pet dog, named Tiffany. In the mid-1990's the Blue Dog series catapulted Rodrigue to legendary status and fame. In the last 25 years, Blue Dog artwork has been displayed in Museums, galleries and other art venues worldwide. The Blue Dog art is esteemed as extremely investment worthy and is among the most collectible contemporary art of the 20th & 21st centuries. Rodrigue painted almost all of his Blue Dog series in acrylic on canvas and on paper. This particular Blue Dog artwork has the gallery stamp on the verso, but more importantly, the art is owned & consigned to this Four Seasons auction, by a Miami physician's estate. His collection of fine art spanned over a period of nearly 35 years. As stated by the owner, although some of my collection is without accompanying documentation such as certificates, I never wasted time or money on art that was likely to be fake or not original as claimed. Over the years of collecting fine art, great expense went into appraising, occasional authenticating and re-framing with acid-free matting to maintain the correct preservation of the artwork. The artwork, such as this original Rodrigue, is fairly valued as indicated by the noted estimate (Est.). This piece is in excellent condition and was professionally displayed in a smoke-free environment. This is a fabulous addition to any serious fine art collection. Plus, it's a wonderful piece of art that the kids will also love. You can expect its value to only increase. Other similar sized Blue Dog silkscreen (print) artwork is sold privately and in auctions for prices between $5000 - $25,000 and even greater. Blue Dog original artwork (not often available) such as the piece being auctioned now, typically realizes prices between $20,000 - $50,000. Very large Blue Dog artwork can be expected to realize $75,000 - $200,000 and much higher. Bid with confidence, and to the winning bidder, congratulations and enjoy this magnificent piece of fine art!

Since you do not handle shipping, who contacts the shipper? Can you do it for me if I pay extra?
Unfortunately, we are unable to contact shippers on behalf of buyers. Please note that you must contact your shipper directly to arrange payment and services. We only release merchandise to the shipper, or delivery agency of your choice, after the item has been paid-in-full. Our address for the shippers to pick up from is
Four Seasons Auction Gallery
470 Woodsmill Rd
Gainesville, GA 30501
How do I have my merchandise released?
In order for items to be released to a shipper or delivery agency, please notify us of your arrangements in writing via e-mail.. Since we want to ensure that merchandise is released to the appropriate party, we cannot release items by phone.
Are you open on weekends? May I pick up before 10AM or after 5PM?
Since we have a small staff, and are quite busy after an auction, items must be picked up at our Gainesville, GA location during normal business hours (Monday-Satruday, 10AM to 2PM). We do understand that sometimes items may need to be picked up at a different time and will try to accommodate if possible. Please contact us to schedule a pick-up time if meeting normal business hours is impossible. If not picking up on the day of the auction or the following day you must make an appointment to pick up. Items not picked up within 30 days after the auction will be donated.
Will someone from Four Seasons Auction Gallery help me load my items into my car/truck/van?
Generally, it is the responsibility of the buyer to handle the pick-up of merchandise due to potential liability. Please factor this into your pick-up of very large/heavy items. If we have guys there however, of course we will help.
Can you remove glass from frames, items from bases, etc., for the shipper to pack?
Like loading items for customers, altering or removing parts of an item for a shipper or delivery company is not something that we typically do due to liability. However, if such a situation occurs, we ask that you submit your request in a written statement prior to the handling of your merchandise.
Can I use a different shipping or delivery company than the ones on your preferred list?
Absolutely. You are welcome to select whatever company or individual you would like to ship or deliver your items.
Why are shipping estimates so expensive for my merchandise?
Please note the following when factoring your packing/handling quotes:
•The majority of the shipping cost is typically the packaging/handling cost.
•Generally speaking, it is difficult to find shippers that will handle your items without a base handling fee, i.e. even if an item is small, it will be subject to a minimum handling fee, determined by the shipping company of your choice.
•Since the shippers are out of house and are less familiar with the items, at times, you may pay slightly more, or less, based on the shipper's calculations of an item's weight and/or dimensions.
What should I do if I have difficulty with a shipper?
At Four Seasons, we are very committed to customer service and getting items to buyers. As such, we will assist in the process should you have difficulty with a given shipper. If you are having trouble getting a response back or encounter another issue, please let us know so that we can try to help resolve the issue.
Items left for more than 30 days will be sold for storage unless other arrangements in writing have been made with Four Seasons Auction Gallery.
