A MONUMENTAL (187 CM HIGH) HARDWOOD FIGURE OF BUDDHA, PAGAN STYLE, 18TH CENTURY OR EARLIER
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Expert's Note: Although conservatively dated to the 18th century by Peter Hardt-Kienzle, this Buddha sculpture is, in our view, possibly of a much earlier origin. Several key features suggest a strong influence from the Pagan period in Myanmar (11th–13th centuries), including the almond-shaped eyes, the compact yet powerful body proportions, and the overall character and spiritual presence of the main figure and accompanying attendants. The structure and form of the lotus base, as well as the type and size of timber used, are both consistent with known examples from the Pagan period. Moreover, the surface wear and natural signs of aging clearly support an earlier dating.

Myanmar or Northwestern Thailand. Superbly carved standing in samabhanga on a lotus dais atop a richly detailed base with a central beast mask and two kneeling worshipers. His right hand is lowered in varada mudra and the left is raised toward his shoulder, holding the hem of his long robe cascading in subtly carved folds and culminating in a fishtail draped over the left shoulder, flanked by two bejeweled and crowned bodhisattvas. His serene face is sensitively modeled with downcast eyes and full bow-shaped lips forming an enigmatic smile, framed by the long pendulous lobes and domed ushnisha topped by a bud finial.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career,Peter Kienzle-Hardtorganized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
