Collection of Phillip Cha, Chicago, acquired from the above via the local trade. Sotheby's New York, 21 March 2018, lot 567, mid-estimate USD 50,000 or approx. EUR 54,500 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). Michael Barber Fine Asian Art, Chicago, 2021. The collection of an artist and university professor in Vienna, acquired from the above. A copy of a certificate written and signed by Michael Barber, on 31 January 2021, confirming the dating and provenance above, accompanies this lot. Lawrence B. 'Larry' Salander (born 1949) is a former New York City art dealer who specialized in old master paintings and early European art. His company, the Salander-O'Reilly Galleries, was cited by the Robb Report in 2003 as the best gallery in the world, and became a high-profile venue dealing in works by artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens, and other canonical figures of Western art history in the 1990s and 2000s. Phillip Cha is a retired dealer of Asian art and antiques. He and his wife Kay have enriched both their own lives and those of the wider community over the past five decades through the study and collecting of art. Cha arrived in the United States from South Korea in 1964 to pursue an undergraduate degree in business administration at New York University, where he met Kay Lee, an accomplished artist who had also emigrated from Seoul. The couple later relocated to Chicago to raise their three sons, opening their first gallery on Michigan Avenue in 1975 and traveling internationally several times each year in search of exceptional works of art. Later, they established Asian House of Chicago on Kinzie Street, becoming influential figures in the city's antiques scene. Alongside their gallery activities, the Chas assembled a distinguished private collection over three decades, comprising rare Chinese bronzes, Song dynasty paintings, and Northern Wei carvings. Condition: Good condition, with expected age-related wear and natural imperfections, including age cracks and splits, signs of weathering, flaking, and losses to pigments and gilding, as well as chips, scratches, and obvious losses. Constructed from several separate components, some of which may have been replaced either in part or in their entirety over the course of the past half millennium, as is entirely consistent with this corpus of Ming dynasty wooden sculpture. The various layers of lacquer may in part date to the time of creation and in part be of later application, again entirely typical for works of this kind. Overall, the piece presents exceptionally well.Weight: 20 kg (excl. base) Dimensions: Height 90.5 cm (excl. base), 92 cm (incl. base)With a modern wood base. (2)Legendary accounts surrounding the life and character of Bodhidharma, the Indian founder of Chan (Zen) Buddhism in China, did not end with his death. According to a legend recorded as early as the 10th century, Bodhidharma rose after death and returned to India, where he was encountered by the Chinese monk Song Yun, who reported that Bodhidharma wore only one shoe. When Bodhidharma's tomb was later opened, only the other shoe was said to have been found.Literature comparison:Compare a related polychrome wood figure of a luohan, dated c. 1200-1400, 109 cm high, in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, object number AK-MAK-1727.
