拍品描述 翻译
A BAULE WOOD MATERNITY FIGURE, LATE 19TH TO MID-20TH CENTURY This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve Ivory Coast. Finely carved seated on a chair, holding a baby in her arms under her chest, the abdomen centered by a protruding navel. She displays prominent breasts and an outsized head with closed eyes set above full lips, all surmounted by neatly incised hair. The face and chest are marked with scarification patterns. Provenance: Professor Gert Chesi, acquired circa 1990-2015 for the Museum der V?lker (formerly Haus der V?lker, Museum für Kunst und Ethnographie), Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, and subsequently de-accessed. Gert Chesi (b. 1940) is an Austrian photographer, author, and art collector. In 1995, Chesi founded the Museum der V?lker (formerly Haus der V?lker, Museum für Kunst und Ethnographie), Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, a museum of art and ethnography whose collection consists mainly of objects acquired during Chesi’s travels through Africa and Asia, most of which were assembled in the 1990s and early 2000s. He also authored several books on African voodoo and magic rituals, including ‘Voodoo. Afrikas geheime Macht’ (1987) and ‘Die letzten Afrikaner’ (1977). Condition: Overall good condition with extensive wear and manufacturing irregularities. Tiny nicks, small chips, few cracks and light surface scratches. One arm with an old repair. Weight: 1,296 g Dimensions: Height 47 cm Baule figural sculpture is rooted in the close relationship between the visible world and the unseen realm of spirits, ancestors, and otherworldly beings. Among the Baule, finely carved wooden figures, known broadly as ‘waka sran’, or ‘persons of wood,’ could serve as the physical presence of a spirit spouse, ‘blolo bla’ or ‘blolo bian’, or as the resting place of an ‘asye usu’, a nature spirit consulted through divination. The maternity subject, showing a seated woman holding or nursing children, adds a powerful layer of meaning, evoking fertility, continuity, lineage, and the social importance of motherhood. In African sculptural traditions more broadly, images of women with children often refer not simply to maternal affection, but to ancestry, social completeness, and the perpetuation of the family line. With its classical designs and the great beauty of its creations, Baule art has captivated connoisseurs the world over. The Baule statuary is one of the art forms from Africa that is most highly regarded by Westerners; very early on, they started collecting remarkable exemplars. It was easily introduced on the Parisian market, due to the strong attraction it exerted on modern artists. Paul Guillaume also opted to highlight it when he showed eighteen pieces from Gabon and C?te d'Ivoire drawn from his own collection at 291 - Alfred Stieglitz' art gallery in New York. As a result, among the host of diverse productions from this, the greatest people of Cote d'Ivoire, sculptures are, by far, the most abundant in the museums. Literature comparison: Compare a related maternity Baule wood figure, 51 cm high, in the Spurlock Museum of World Cultures, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, artifact identification 2013.05.1129.
