Zustand: Sehr gut. Bound photocopy in 2 bindings with softcover binding, xxxi, 261 pages, some illustrations, last two (blank pages) slightly damaged, otherwise very good condition. To our knowledge the earliest sales catalogue devoted exclusively to Tibetan art. The collection was assembled in China, so most of the Tibetan-style statues on offer were made in China. The fact that the auction took place in 1904 must have been no coincidence, as Tibet was featured in all the newspapers that year due to the Younghusband mission. The 'G' in the collection title has been identified in various ways, including as Charles Firmin Gillot, a French printmaker (compare Souren Melikian, From gems to duds, New York Times, 7 March 2008, who speaks however only of Japanese art). Another guess is the Gumpel or Gurdjieff Collection, but we can`t attribute those either with any certainity, but the auction houses seem to favour Gumpel. Joseph Deniker worked for the Musée Guimet and came into contact with Agvan Dorjiev, the Russian Buddhist who visited Paris as well as Lhasa, among others. The catalogue shows some of the most impressive imperial sculptures in the Tibetan style that have ever reached the West. Lot 464, for example, is a 98.8 cm portrait of Vajrabhairava Ekavira, which was to be offered at Christie`s in New York on 16 March 2015 with an estimate of USD 4 - 6 million, but was withdrawn and instead offered by Christie`s at auction in Hong Kong on 30 November 2016, where it realised HKD 36,380,000 (= USD 4.6 million). There were also two other monumental Vajrabhairava statues in the collection, including one marked to the reign of the Chenghua Emperor, which was subsequently offered by Rare Art Inc. in 1975 and then again on 23 June 2021 by Nagel, Stuttgart, where it achieved the highest price at auction in Germany at the time at EUR 14.07 (92 cm high, no. 468 in the present catalogue, but incorrectly titled lot 469 in the illustration on p. 117). Other large gilt bronze sculptures from the collection include a figure of Mahachakravajrapani now in the Linden-Museum, Stuttgart, a figure of Guhyasamaja in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, a standing Bodhisattva now in the Musée Cernuschi, Paris, and a figure of Nilamahakala whose whereabouts are now unknown (see U. von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p. 530, nos. 151B, 151D, 151E and 151A). The third Vajrabhairava in this collection, 80 cm, early 15th century, lot 469, was later owned by Claude de Marteau and was sold by Sotheby`s London, 10 July 1973, no. 151, and again by Sotheby`s New York 25 March 1999, lot 122, for USD 745,000.
