IMPORTANT NOTE: Lots 20, 21, 22 and 23 will first be auctioned off separately and subject to tender. Directly after the end of lot 23, these four lots will be auctioned off together as lot 100. The sum of the highest bids for lots 20 to 23 inclusive, will be taken as the starting point for the auction of lot 100. If the bids for lot 100 exceed the total sum of the lots 20, 21,22 and 23 altogether, then the highest bids placed previously on these lots will expire and be cancelled. The highest bidder on Lot 100 will become the buyer of all four works i.e. lots 20 through 23.
