Knock down Musterklauseln
Knock down a) The work of art is knocked down to the winning bidder if, following three calls for a higher bid, no such higher bid is submitted. Upon the item being knocked down to it, this will place the bidder under obligation to accept the work of art and to pay the purchase price (Section 4 Clause 1). The bidder shall not be named.
b) Should the bids not reach the reserve price set by the Consignor, the auctioneer will knock down the work of art at a conditional hammer price. This conditional hammer price shall be effective only if Grisebach confirms this bid in writing within three (3) weeks of the day of the auc- tion. Should another bidder submit a bid in the meantime that is at least in the amount of the reserve price, the work of art shall go to that bid- der; there will be no consultations with the bidder to whom the work of art has been knocked down at a conditional hammer price.

Where the auctioneer exercises this right, any knock-down of a work of art that has occurred previously shall cease to be effective.
e) The auctioneer is authorized, without being under obligation of giving notice thereof, to also submit bids on behalf of the Consignor until the reserve price agreed with the Consignor has been reached, and the auctioneer is furthermore authorized to knock down the work of art to the Consignor, citing the consignment number. In such event, the work of art shall go unsold. Purchase Price, Payment, Default
