Southeast Asian Art • 9 September 9pm – 22 September 2024 9pm HKT|SGT

Goupil & Cie is pleased to reveal the first chapter of an unparalleled private collection of impressive Southeast Asian fine art. This collection represents a curatorial achievement in itself, celebrating a comprehensive variety of artistic influences, cultural iconographies and traditional narratives. The auction features masterful pieces entailing different periods of time, subjects and media encapsulating the rich history and distinctive experience of Southeast Asian art.

Carefully chosen and steadily acquired through encounters during international travels and driven by astute connoisseurship, these works of art illustrate a rare combination of eclectic schools, distinct artist’s personal history and outstanding individual characters of the past and current centuries.

The sale brings together artworks from internationally acclaimed artists such as Lee Man Fong whose personal path started in Guangzhou, China, in the early 20th century and spanned across Singapore and Indonesia until his passing in 1988. Lee Man Fong was recognised as one of the most prominent painters of the Nanyang School for which he contributed to its reputation and appreciation globally through exhibitions from The Hague to Paris.

Other highlights include a characteristic portrayal piece by Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès featuring his wife and lifelong muse, Ni Pollok, surrounded by immediately discernible umbrage and blooming flowers from his wondrous Balinese residence located in the seaside town of Sanur. The latter has given birth to the museum Le Mayeur, where the artist’s fascinating creations can be admired today whilst being immersed in his most inspiring scenes.

Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès (1880-1958), Ni Pollok in Sanur Garden. Mixed media on paper. Estimate: HKD 100,000 – HKD 150,000.

The present sale also contains a group of three paintings by Ida Bagus Made Nadera, broadly known as one of the most spiritual and expressive contemporary Balinese artists. These lots are genuinely representative of Ida Bagus Made Nadera’s quintessential multi-layered compositions fusing mysticism, environmental consciousness and tradition.

Ida Bagus Made Nadera (1910-1998), Tari Janger. Black ink on paper. Estimate: HKD 100,000 – HKD 150,000.

This unique collection devotedly unfolds the multi-faceted dimensions of Southeast Asian cultures and painting schools from the Kamasan style, giving testimony to classical Balinese art, to the most influential rising regional artists of the past decade, and consequently offers an extraordinary opportunity for both younger and seasoned collectors to acquire important and exceptional pieces.
