NIAS ANCESTOR FIGURE, INDONESIAadu zatua woodHeight 60 cmProvenanceProbably Kurt Mengers (1893–1977), German art dealer, BerlinProbably Drouot, Paris, 7 November 1929, lot 92 Probably Louis Aragon (1897-1982), French poet, novelist, member of the Surrealist movementGeorge Sadoul (1904-1967), French film critic and member of the Surrealist movementCalmels Cohen, Paris, 23 June 1997, lot 87 Bruce Frank, New YorkFootnotes:Georges Sadoul (1904–1967) was a renowned French film critic, historian, and writer, celebrated for his significant contributions to the study of cinema and his active role in the Surrealist movement. Educated in philosophy and literature, he became closely associated with Surrealist circles in the 1920s, alongside notable figures such as Louis Aragon and André Breton. Like many Surrealists, Sadoul developed a fascination with non-Western art and collected African and Oceanic artworks. Part of Sadoul's collection was sold at an auction in Paris in June 1996. Among the lots was the present figure, believed to have been acquired during a sale at Drouot on November 7–9, 1929. The description of lot 92 from that sale, and its dimensions, closely match this figure, suggesting they are almost certainly the same. Records from the 1929 auction show it was a single-owner sale, the seller being Kurt Mengers (1893–1977), a German art dealer specializing in non-European art. However, the buyer of the object was not Georges Sadoul, despite his acquiring many lots during the auction, but Louis Aragon. Throughout their lives, Louis Aragon and Georges Sadoul shared a close and enduring relationship, both as members of the Surrealist movement and later through their political work in the Communist Party. Sadoul contributed film reviews to Lettres françaises, the literary journal directed by Aragon, and also wrote a study about him, Aragon (Paris, Seghers, 1967), which the poet personally reviewed and revised. Given their strong connection, it is highly likely that Louis Aragon gifted, exchanged, or sold the present lot to Georges Sadoul. We are grateful to Marina El Chalouhi for her assistance in the research for this note.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

KORWAR ANCESTOR FIGURE, CENDERAWASIH BAY, INDONESIAwoodHeight 28.5 cmProvenanceHenry Blekkink (1888-1953), The HagueLiteratureWeener, F., 'The Korwar Collection of Henry Blekkink', in Tribal Art Magazine, no.63, Spring 2012, p.92Corbey, R., Korwar: Northwest New Guinea ritual art according to missionary sources, Leiden, 2019, pp.68, 77, 111 fig.79Footnotes:Henry Blekkink (1888, Java – 1953, The Hague) was a Dutch geography teacher with early connections to the Dutch East Indies. According to Weener (op. cit.), Blekkink is believed to have acquired his korwar' collection through Frans Johannes Frederik van Hasselt (1870–1939), a protestant missionary of the Utrecht Missionary Society. Missionaries from this society were active in northern New Guinea from 1862. Van Hasselt, who arrived in the Cenderawasih Bay region in 1894, gathered a substantial number of these ancestral figures and sent them to the Netherlands, where many were displayed in exhibitions organized by the Utrecht Missionary Society from 1909. The author suggests that Blekkink likely met van Hasselt through the New Guinea study circle of the Moluccan Institute, where both were active participants in the 1930s.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
