Description

A BRONZE GROUP OF GANESHA AND SHAKTI, VIJAYANAGAR EMPIRE, 16TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

South India. The elephant-headed deity seated atop a circular lotus base raised on a waisted plinth, his primary hands holding a kalash and supporting Shakti resting on his right leg, secondary hands holding various attributes including a lasso, ankusha, lotus, disk, and gada. Lord Ganesha is cast with a genial character and an elegant gait, wearing modest regalia, with emphasis given to the swells and contours of his limber modeling. His vahana, the rat, is seated on its haunches at his left foot, its forelimbs clasped around an offering for the deity.

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-Hardt organized 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.
