Christopher S. Gerlach (California, Massachusetts, born 1952)
Christopher Gerlach has been a practicing landscape painter and artist for thirty years, in the United States and Europe. He received formal training in academic draughtsmanship, life painting, and medical anatomy at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, at Oxford University. He received an award from the Royal Academy in London, and was appointed Murray Landscape Scholar to Oxford University in 1979. He also received a Masters of Fine Art from San Diego State University.
Gerlach was committed to a revival of realism in the tradition of the Impressionist and Painterly Realist schools of France and turn-of-the-century America and Britain. He worked to study and master the techniques utilized by Monet, Sargent, Winslow Homer, Hassam, Robinson, and others. He revived working in situ, in the landscape in the plein-air method. He was the first plein-air artist to paint in the restored gardens of Claude Monet at Giverny, in 1981 through the generosity of the Versailles Foundation.
He began his career exhibiting at the William Sawyer Gallery in San Francisco and lived there, and then in Santa Fe, in Santa Barbara, in Arizona, and finally in Southwestern Colorado, in Pagosa Springs. He exhibited widely in the United States, in New York, and a number of other galleries. His work is derived from the French Impressionists and the American Impressionists, and is called Painterly Realism. He
was one of the first modern realists to work to revive the force and integrity of realism in painting, after it was long eclipsed by abstraction.
He works both from life, in the form called "en plein air" and in the studio. His work varies in size from small intimate easel sized works, to very large installations. His palette, and choice of colors are bright, and focused on light, and a sense of time, place and atmosphere. His paintings are intended to evoke a cheerful, optimistic mood, a joy of life and of living and to bring to the viewer both the beauty of the natural world, and also the poignancy of some of the most compelling and colorful regions, France, the tropics, the high country of Colorado, and the sunny coasts of California.
His paintings hang in museums and public collections, including the San Diego Museum of Art, the Oakland Museum of California and Buckingham Palace, and in many other public and private collections.
Gerlach feels that artists have a social responsibility as well as an aesthetic one. He has been active in research for the improvement of social conditions, ecology, and support work for battered women and abused children. He works to support cultural preservation and revival for indigenous peoples in the USA and abroad. He has worked in government and community and urban planning.
He does research and field work in Ecology, Forestry, Hydrology, and Integrative psychology, and is the author of a number of works on social and environmental issues, including ecology, indigenous culture and sovereignty, psychology, treatment of emotional stress and trauma, integrative and health. He works as a publisher, a researcher, a consultant on ethics and development in community planning, social issues, and is a publishing consultant, and advisor to a variety of private and community organizations.
He also works in support of advocacy for the Fine Arts in the United States and in Europe, and has a continuing interest in preserving and maintaining the highest standards in teaching and education in both the practice of the creative arts and in art history and the preservation of artistic and architectural history.

Terms and Conditions

TERMS & CONDITIONS
Any of the following conditions of sale may be amended, waived, or modified in the sole discretion of Broward Auction Gallery. By placing a bid, whether present in the saleroom or by any other means, the buyer (bidder, purchaser) agrees to be bound by the following conditions of sale:

1) All property is sold in "as is" condition and all sales are final. Neither Broward Auction Gallery nor their consignor(s) makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the property or the correctness of the catalogue or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, age, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of the property or otherwise. The Auctioneer and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the authorship of any property identified in the online catalogue (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified herein).
If any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose can be construed from the catalogue, auction, or bill of sale, such warranties are disclaimed by the Auctioneer and the Consignor. No statement in the online catalogue or made at the sale or in the Bill of Sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an admission of liability. Moreover, the Auctioneer will not be held responsible for any variations in appearance of online photographs.
ANTIQUES: Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description.
Broward Auction Gallery shall not be responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses on behalf of purchaser and no sale shall be cancelled or refunded for lack of purchaser's noncompliance with permitting and licensing issues.

2) Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if within 14 days of the sale of any lot the purchaser of any painting gives notice in writing to the Auctioneer that the lot so sold is a counterfeit and, if within 7 days after such notice the purchaser returns to the Auctioneer in the same condition as when sold, and gives written proof from a recognized impartial expert which establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the returned lot is in fact a counterfeit and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the catalogue or the Auctioneer's comments at the time of sale, the Auctioneer as agent for the Consignor will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price.

3) The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid and shall advance the bid at his/her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has absolute discretion to determine the successful buyer or to re-sell the disputed lot. If a dispute arises after the sale, Broward Auction Gallery record of the successful buyer and final sale price shall be conclusive. Broward Auction Gallery reserves the right to withdraw, combine or divide any lot at any time before bidding commences. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before, during, or after the auction without liability.

4) Unless the sale is advertised and announced as "without reserve", each lot is offered subject to a reserve and the Company may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where the Company or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to the Company, the Company may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than the broker's Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. No "buy" bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose.

5) Some lots offered for sale may be subject to a reserve, which is a confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold. Under no circumstance will a reserve exceed the low estimate of the lot being offered. Consignors are prohibited from bidding on their own property, however, the auctioneer may implement reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor. If bids on a lot fail to reach the reserve, the lot will be "passed" or "bought-in".

Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall Broward Auction Gallery and its consignors be liable for lost profits or any special, incidental, or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use Internet Bidding Services.

8) Title of each lot passes upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder. Under no circumstances will Broward Auction Gallery liabilities to a purchaser exceed the purchase price actually paid.

9) A 23% buyer's premium will be added to the sale of each lot, plus applicable taxes, unless exempt by law. Applicable Sales or use taxes will be added to the purchase price of all taxable purchases. To be sales tax exempt, a current sales tax exemption certificate, including sales tax exemption number, must be presented to Broward Auction Gallery to avoid paying sales tax.
