拍品描述
Tibet, 18th century. Standing in a dynamic pose atop two conch shells supported on a lotus base, one arm raised and the other lowered, the rib cage neatly detailed, wearing only billowing scarves around the skeletal body. The Chitipati shows a fierce expression with large eye sockets and protruding tongue and is flanked by two male figures standing atop severed heads with drooping eyes.Provenance: Jean Lostalem, Galerie Slim Bouchoucha, Louvre des Antiquaires, Paris, 2010. A private collection in western France, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. Galerie Slim Bouchoucha was established in 1968 by Jean Lostalem in Paris, and specializes in Asian art, particularly from Tibet and India. The gallery is now managed by Lostalem's son Michel and situated in the vibrant Marais district. The gallery's longstanding presence and specialization have established it as a respected institution within the international art community.Condition: Good condition with old wear, rubbing and losses to gilt, light nicks, few minor dents, and tiny losses. Fine, naturally grown patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 770 g Dimensions: Height 38.7 cmExpert's note:Memento mori (Latin for 'remember that you will die') is an artistic and symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death. Altogether sobering, and in some sense comforting, it's an epitaph for the masses - commoners and kings alike. Such art, which already appeared in ancient cultures, is also associated with festivals in remembrance and honor of the deceased, as held by many peoples throughout the world. These include the Mexican Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) and several Tibetan festivals where the dance of the Chitipati is performed.Literature comparison:Compare a related Tibetan painted terracotta plaque depicting the Chitipati, dated to the 18th century, in the Rubin Museum of Art, object number C2002.36.1.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely related Auction: Zacke, Vienna, 16 October 2021, lot 420Price: EUR 3,286 or approx. EUR 4,000 adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A gilt copper-alloy repousse plaque depicting a ChitipatiExpert remark: Compare the closely related form, style, and gilding. Note the severed heads and smaller size (29.1 cm).
