Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.

Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

LITERATURE:
S. Reich, John Marin: A Stylistic Analysis and Catalogue Raisonné, Tucson, Arizona, 1970, p. 729, no. 43.16.
From 1907 through 1917, Alfred Stiegliz's New York gallery "291" and its successor "An American Place" became the epicenter of a new community of artists and critics who championed modern art, photography as a fine art, and also children's art and naïve art in the United States. Stieglitz promoted the work of a core group of American modernists who experimented with varying degrees of abstraction in their work, and who were eventually dubbed "the Stieglitz Group." These figures included John Marin, Charles Demuth, Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, and Marsden Hartley, all of whom explored the merits of form and color in a way that would come to define the direction of early American modernism.
Marin was a master of his preferred watercolor medium, and Sunset, Cape Split, Maine displays his confidence and virtuosity with it. With just a few strokes of color, Marin captures the spirit of an electric sunset on water laid out before him with brilliant vitality. The blues, reds, pinks, and purples fill the sky and are echoed in the water. Maine was a favorite subject of Marin's; he vacationed there every summer from 1914 until his death in 1953, and drew much of his artistic inspiration from its soaring skies and cranky shorelines.
Estimate: $8,000 - $12,000.
Marin, John: . American artist, 1870-1953
