A LARGE KANDARA DRUM, MARIND-ANIM, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, EARLY 20TH CENTURYExternal Expert Authentication: This lot was authenticated by Prof. Erwin Melchardt, who confirms the attribution and dating above. A copy of Prof. Melchardt's expertise written for Dorotheum, Vienna, 9 June 2016, lot 190, accompanies this lot. Erwin Melchardt is an Austrian journalist, art critic, and internationally recognized expert in non-European art, particularly African and Oceanic art. A passionate collector with a collection of around 4,000 objects, he became one of Austria's leading specialists in the field. His work includes sourcing, authenticating, valuing, and cataloguing objects for international auctions, as well as lecturing on non-European art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. He also compiled the catalog of the Leopold Museum's collection of African and Oceanic works, contributing to research and exhibitions exploring the relationship between European modernism and non-European artistic traditions.Finely crafted, cylindrical in form with both ends terminating in conical shapes, one end remains undecorated yet covered with reptile hide to form the drumhead, while the opposite end is carved with two encircling bands of large spiral motifs, highlighted with red ritual pigment. The central shaft fitted with a substantial handle, secured with rattan fibers for suspension, and framed by two carved bands bearing serpentine motifs.Provenance: Collection of Bill Evans, Sydney, Australia. The collection of Inge Bienenstein, Vienna, Austria, acquired from the above and thence by descent within the family. William Nathaniel Evans (b. 1944), known as Bill Evans, was a distinguished specialist in tribal art and antique rugs. Born in Minneapolis, he graduated in History from the University of Minneapolis and, exempted from military service during the Vietnam War following a polio outbreak, travelled overland in 1968 to Afghanistan, where he spent four years and developed a deep and lasting expertise in antique rugs and ancient cultures of the region. This formative period proved decisive in shaping his professional path, leading him to settle in Sydney, Australia, where he established the Caspian Gallery in the early 1980s, specializing in central Asian antique rugs and later expanding into Oceanic art. In 1995 he co-founded the Oceanic Art Society, frequently hosting its early meetings at his gallery, which became a leading center for oceanic art in Australia. Evans was an active dealer and collector, building extensive networks across the country and contributing significantly to the development of the field. Ingeborg Bienenstein (d. 2013) was the founder and director of Bienenstein Gallery, which she started in 1978 in Vienna, Austria. The gallery held several exhibitions each year, displaying fine antiques and works of art from Asia, Africa, and Oceania in context with modern art and design from Europe. This approach aimed at showcasing a universal language of art and the fact that art from all around the world can be connected in a meaningful way.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, minor age cracks, the drum skin with a small fissure, remnants of pigment. Good patina overall.Weight: 6.7 kgDimensions: Height 135.4 cmThe Marind-Anim are an indigenous people of New Guinea, residing in the province of South Papua, Indonesia. Their territory extends across a broad area on both sides of the Bian River, from approximately twenty miles east of Merauke to the mouth of the Moeli River in the west. Historically, the Marind-Anim have been noted for a highly structured social organization based on clan systems, as well as for complex ritual practices and a cosmology frequently characterized in anthropological literature as deeply animistic. Their culture was documented by several ethnologists and missionaries, primarily Dutch, who were among the first Europeans to reach this remote region in the mid-nineteenth century.Father Henricus Geurtjens, one of the early twentieth-century Missionaries of the Sacred Heart working in the remote regions of the Dutch East Indies and Dutch New Guinea, provides a detailed account of Marind-Anim drum-making techniques:'The drums are made from wood of a tree with soft heartwood. A piece of the trunk is trimmed into the rough shape of a drum. One end is hollowed out a little and the piece of wood is then stood upright, the hollowed-out end uppermost. The lower end is stuck in the ground sufficiently to prevent its falling over. The hollowed-out end is then filled with water which is constantly and carefully replenished. Under the action of the water, the soft heartwood quickly begins to rot. The softened parts are then removed. When half of the cavity has been rotted away in this manner, the piece of wood is then reversed, and the same thing is repeated at the other end. This process enables the innermost part to be pushed through with a piece of hard wood or a piece of bamboo. The result is a channel running through the length of the piece of wood. This channel is then widened by firing, the heat being regulated by bellows and the inside is scraped with shells and pig tusks. Internodes of bamboo are also made to explode in the cavity, if sound internodes of bamboo are held in a fire, they burst open with a mighty bang. This is intended as sympathetic magic, the object being that the drum will produce a loud sound. When the required internal cavity has been obtained, the outside of the drum is then worked with an adze and finished off: carving is then done with pig tusks'.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's Paris, 4 December 2008, lot 30 Price: EUR 5,250 or approx.
