Description

A PAIR OF LARGE GILT-BRONZE FIGURES OF MAITREYA AND AVALOKITESHVARA
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

China, 20th century or earlier. Well cast in mirror image, each standing gracefully atop an oval waisted double-lotus base, one hand held in abhaya mudra and the other slightly lower in dhyana mudra, one clutching a vase, both dressed in voluminous robes cascading in neatly detailed folds and richly adorned with beaded jewelry and billowing scarves. Their serene faces with heavy-lidded downcast eyes and slender bow-shaped lips pursed to form a subtle smile, the hair tied into a tall chignoncentered by their identifying attributes: an image of Buddha Amitabha for Avalokiteshvara and a vase for Maitreya. (2)

Provenance: The Kienzle Family Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Acquired between 1950 and 1985 by siblings Else (1912-2006), Reinhold (1917-2008), and Dr. Horst Kienzle (1924-2019), during their extensive travels in Asia. Subsequently inherited by Dr. Horst Kienzle and bequeathed to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. Released through museum deaccession in 2024. The Kienzle siblings were avid travelers and passionate collectors of Asian and Islamic art. During their travels, the Kienzle’s sought out and explored temples, monasteries, and markets, always trying to find the best pieces wherever they went, investing large sums of money and forging lasting relationships to ensure they could acquire them. Their fervor and success in this pursuit is not only demonstrated by their collection but further recorded in correspondences between Horst Kienzle and several noted dignitaries, businesses and individuals in Nepal and Ladakh. Their collection had gained renown by the 1970s, but the Kienzle’s stopped acquiring new pieces around 1985. Almost thirty years later, the collection was moved to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, opened by Peter Hardt in 2014. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter Hardt and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
