origin (the history of the previous owners, the person
for whom it was made, and the person(s) who used it)
of the work. The estimated price does not include the
V.A.T. and other taxes and fees payable by the purchas-
er. In the event whereby the work “OFFER” appears in-
stead of the estimated price, please submit your offer to
ALIF ART.

any price below this value. The reserve value cannot
be above the estimate price indicated in the catalogue.

may conclude the sale either through his/her own initi-
ative or according to those who participate by telephone

bid on behalf of the owner for values equal or above the
Reserve value.

room is below the one specified in a written reservation,
the work will be remitted to the bidder having offered in
