Summer Sale of Chinese Art: A Private Asian Collection
From 22 to 30 August, Bonhams presents "Summer sale of Chinese Art: A Private Asian Collection", an online sale featuring a wide array of Chinese works of art spanning more than 2000 years of Chinese history. Among the 69 lots are archaic ritual bronzes, pottery and porcelain, jades and other works of art, dating from the Shang dynasty to the Republic period. This collection was assembled by an Asian collector over the past three decades via international auction houses and renowned art dealers in New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Headlining the sale are an archaic bronze 'taotie' ritual vessel, fang yi, from the late Shang dynasty (estimate HK$300,000 – 500,000), and a group of archaic ritual bronzes from the Shang dynasty to the Spring and Autumn period, some of which acquired from the prominent Alan and Simone Hartman collection; another highlight from the sale is a Dingyao carved 'Daylily' dish from the Northern Song to Jin dynasty (estimate HK$100,000 – 150,000).
