拍品描述 翻译
A GUERE WOOD WARRIOR MASK, 19TH-20TH CENTURY This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve Boldly carved with a rounded face, high domed forehead, heavy arched brows, narrow slit eyes, broad nose, and large open mouth with full lips, the face is animated by applied rounded cheek projections and long downward curving tusk-like elements flanking the mouth, while two upright horn-like projections rise from the top. 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: Good condition with expected wear and manufacturing irregularities. Tiny nicks, flaking, small age cracks. A repair to one horn. Weight: 894 g Dimensions: Height 27.7 cm This Guere mask belongs to the forceful warrior-mask tradition of southwestern C?te d’Ivoire, in which individual features are enlarged and layered to convey concentrated spiritual power. Warrior masks were used among the Guere and other peoples of the region, forming part of precolonial warfare and its wider ceremonial culture of epic narrative, music, and dance (Dozon, La societe bete, 1985, p. 172). Although several communities claim their invention, the tee gla masks of the We/Guere are often regarded as archetypal (Gnonsoa in Feau, Sculpted Bodies, Adorned Bodies, Masked Bodies, 1989, p. 112). Such masks could intervene in internal conflicts to enforce peace or accompany warriors into battle, directing their power less against human adversaries than against the spirits believed to support them (Verger-Fevre, “Cote d’Ivoire: Masks of the We Country,” Tribal Art, Spring 2005, no. 9, p. 108). On the present mask , sweeping brow arches, projecting eyelids, a broad nose, and tiered cheek elements form a compact, carefully balanced composition. This accumulation of projecting planes also helps explain the appeal of such sculpture to early modernists. Werner Spies, drawing on Kahnweiler, discussed Picasso’s study of a Wobe mask in connection with his development of “superimposed planes” between 1911 and 1913 (Picasso the Sculptor, 2000, p. 66). In broader terms, the dark patina and architectural arrangement of the features recall the celebrated Oubi mask from southern Guere country, collected by Georges Couturier in 1933 and now on loan to the Musee du Quai Branly (inv. no. D 67-1-7; see Rubin, Primitivism in 20th-Century Art, vol. II, p. 591). Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby’s Paris, 28 November 2023, lot 53 Price: EUR 9,525 or approx.
