拍品描述
A FINE BRONZE OKIMONO OF A CHARGING BOARJapan, Meiji period (1868-1912)Heavily cast and naturalistically modeled to depict a charging boar (inoshishi) dynamically running with outstretched legs. The hairwork is finely incised and the head is well detailed in a powerful expression with wide almond-shaped eyes, upturned snout, pricked ears, and long tusks. LENGTH 20.1 cmWEIGHT 1,263 gCondition: Very good condition with some associated surface wear and casting irregularities, few scattered nicks, dents and small losses, expected signs of abrasion on the hooves.Provenance: The Mary Griggs and Jackson Burke Collection. The Minneapolis Institute of Art, gifted from the above, and deaccessioned in 2024. Mary Griggs Burke (1916-2012) was an American art collector who assembled the largest private collection of Japanese art outside Japan. Born into an artistic family, she developed an early appreciation for rare objects, influenced by her mother’s collecting interests. Together with her husband, Jackson Burke (1908-1975), she began collecting in the 1960s. In 1972, they established the Mary and Jackson Burke Foundation to support the study and exhibition of artworks. Their collection, widely regarded as the finest of its kind outside Japan, was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1975, the Tokyo National Museum in 1985, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Following Mary’s passing, many pieces were bequeathed to the Foundation and gifted to museums, including the present lot.The wild boar (inoshishi) occupies the twelfth position in the Japanese version of the Chinese zodiac. In Japan, this animal has been highly valued, respected and even dreaded, due to its bravery and tendency to fearlessly charge and attack, symbolizing the power to overcome any obstacle or adversity. In addition, its ability to reproduce prolifically has led the wild boar to be considered a good luck charm, associated with abundant harvests and prosperity.Auction comparison: Compare a closely related bronze okimono of a boar, by Joun, dated to the Taisho period, 29.8 cm long, at Bonhams, Japanese Works of Art, 19 September 2008, New York, lot 5179 (sold for USD 5,100).
