With a domed cover painted similarly to the vase and surmounted by a bud-shaped finial. Condition: With wear, minor firing irregularities and surface alteration consistent with objects from maritime salvage such as encrustations. The mouth rim with a forked hairline and the cover with a chip to the rim and a glaze flake to the finial. Provenance: Austrian private collection, acquired at Galerie Zacke in 2006 for 2.303 EUR at the time, copies of an old invoice as well as an old Zacke catalogue page illustrating the piece will be handed to the winning bidder. The base with a collection label reading: Christie´s, VungTao Carg, LOT 604, the underside of the lid with collections numbers: HC90-S.381 and S.381. Weight: 740 g Dimensions: Height 24 cmIn 1989, a Vietnamese fisherman discovered the 'Vung Tao Cargo' on the Southern Coast of Vietnam. The salvaged contents were sold a Christie's Amsterdam in a two-day sale of 1011 lots on 7th and 8th April 1992. There was little to date the wreck except a few coins of the reign of the emperor Kangxi (1662-1722) and an inkstick bearing the cyclical date corresponding to AD 1690. The best evidence lies in fact in the study of the porcelain itself that must have been produced within a decade of AD 1683, the year that ceramic historians regard as the official date of the re-opening of China's kilns at Jingdezhen after the Civil War that had disrupted the industry since the 1630s.

Deckeldose mit erotischer Szene. Bronze. Indochina. 1920er-JahreRechteckig, auf dem Deckel eine weibliche Figur in entspannter Haltung mit einem Schädel zu ihrer Rechten und einer Vase zu ihrer Linken. Im Inneren der Deckeldose Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi in inniger Umarmung zwischen ihren Attributen. An der Deckelinnenseite ein schreibmaschinengeschriebenes Papieretikett mit französischer Aufschrift:Cpe: Reserve´pour Mr: NGo Dinh-Bach / Entrepreneur des Traveau Public ``a HAIPHONG Luang.Prabang, le 9 Septembre 1932 / Sa Majesté SISAVANG.VONG / Roi de Luong-Prabang (Reserviert für Herrn Ngo-Dinh-Bach, Bauunternehmer in Haiphong Luang-Prabang, 9. September 1932Ihre Majestät Sisavang-Vong, König von Luang Prabang)Das vorliegende Objekt wurde in Holland gekauft, von jemandem, der es in Frankreich erworben hatte. Ein nahezu identisches vergoldetes Exemplar wurde bei Christie‘s, Amsterdam, am 14. Juni 1995, Lot 127, versteigert. Es stammte aus der Sammlung Loew und kam aus der Versteigerung im Hotel Druout in Paris am 22./23. Dezember 1958, Lot 9. Ein weiteres solches Objekt soll bei Nagel 2016 versteigert worden sein. Diese Hinweise auf Frankreich sowie die französischsprachige Notiz, dass das Objekt einem vietnamesischen Bauunternehmer in der florierenden Hafenstadt Haiphong zugedacht war, verleiten zur Annahme, dass es sich um eine Produktion aus Vietnam handelt. Diese scheint möglich, da zahlreiche stilistische Ungereimtheiten gegen eine Herkunft aus Tibet sprechen. In Indochina hingegen hatte die französischen Kolonialadministration zum Erhalt der lokalen Handwerkskünste ab 1903 an verschiedenen Orten Kunst- und Kunstgewerbehochschulen etabliert. Die École des arts appliqués de Bien Hoa nahe Saigon beispielsweise unterrichtete Bronzeguss. Hier wurden Köpfe von buddhistischen Figuren im siamesische und Khmer-Stil gefertigt, aber die überwiegende Produktion bestand aus Portraits schöner Frauen und älterer Männer. Auch an der École des Beaux-arts de Hanoï wurden Bronzegüsse hergestellt. Das Kopieren von Vorlagen war an dieses Hochschulen Gang und Gäbe.Die Akademie in Hanoi hatte Verkaufsräume für die Mitglieder der Societé coopérative des artistes indochinois. So könnte man sich vorstellen, dass der König von Luang Prabang die Hochschule in Hanoi besuchte und dort als Geschenk für den Unternehmer für öffentliche Bauarbeiten ein Werk reservieren ließ.H 17,2 cm; B 14 cm; T 8,5 cmProvenienzPrivatsammlung, Niederlande, laut Einlieferer im niederländischen Kunsthandel erworben

Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998), American journalist and novelist, considered one of the 20th century's greatest war correspondents, third wife of Ernest Hemingway. An archive of autograph letters, photographs and ephemera sent by Martha Gellhorn to Andrew Tarnowski, a captain in the Carpathian Lancers, with whom she formed a friendship in Italy while working as a war correspondent. The archive comprises four typed letters signed; five signed & inscribed postcards; four signed & inscribed Christmas cards; two U.S. War Correspondent badges; an original photograph depicting Martha Gellhorn with Andrew Tarnowski in Italy during WW2, and a Polish edition of The Carpathian Lancers, 1966, in which the photograph is published.One of the letters is critical of the Vietnam war, 'We are behaving, in Vietnam, like the Nazi army in Poland; I don't believe for a minute in this "Communist aggression" talk (I always remember how the Nazis were going to save the world from Bolshevism too); it is the ugliest power politics, as mad as it is wicked, and we are killing the Vietnamese as if they were non-people, and an enormous number of poor conscripted young Americans are pointlessly dying too in this murder operation...My one hope is that we get a decent President in 1968, but we may not even have a choice beyond the idiocy of Johnson and Nixon. Unfortunately the whole world suffers for the wicked stupidities of our government.'One of letters gives a moving insight into the difficulties of continuing work as a war correspondent while raising a precious child, 'Journalism is hell now for me, because I can't bear being away from Sandy, who grows and changes every day; and I feel cheated to miss any of his baby years. He is too beautiful and funny and charming to be described, and now he talks too, some English, more Spanish, in a sweet soft voice like a dove...I do not believe any other thing in the world matters, except to love another human being and look after that one...Here in Mexico, no one talks or seems to think about War Number Three, which is a lovely state of affairs. I don't think about it either because I refuse to. I live as if life were going to last forever and go quietly and peacefully through my days, playing with the child, managing the house and doing my writing; and I read no newspapers and never listen to the radio, since I mean to be happy as long as I can and not torment myself in advance with the thought of chaos...This trip was not for pleasure, it was only to get enough money, as fast as possible, to feed us for another year...I came back here so tired I slept for a week.'In another letter, she states, 'Year after year, men go on killing each other, fighting wars which are certainly as pointless and insane as the Wars of the Roses....Dearest Andrew, no one really wins in this life but some of us win something. You've won that lovely warm thing of loving your child and surely of being loved by her. It's a big something. The older I get, the more sure I am that love alone matters.'Provenance: By descent of Andrew Tarnowski

DIETMAR LOCHNER (1938 in Hirschberg/Schlesien, lebt in Hamburg) "1966-2011 Vielleicht wird es einmal besser" Öl auf Leinwand. 2011. 58,5 x 84,5 cm. Unten rechts mit Pinsel in Schwarz signiert "Lochner", datiert und betitelt.Ausstellung: Galerie Beim Schlump, Hamburg: Die phantastischen Welten des Dietmar Lochner, 14.10.2022 – 26.11.2022Der Titel des Werkes verweist auf die weltweiten Konflikte. 1966 war es Vietnam, 2011 der arabische Frühling, der die Welt in Atem hielt, wobei 2011 auch gleichzeitig das Jahr war, in dem laut Studienergebnissen die Zahl der Kriege auf der Welt seit 1945 am höchsten war. An Aktualität hat das Gemälde auch im Jahr 2023 nichts verloren, im Gegenteil. Es ist ein Bild, was uns auch heute noch mahnt, vor allem in Anbetracht der aktuellen Krisen- und Kriegsherde und man möchte fragen: Wird es überhaupt einmal besser? Im Jahr 2022 erhielt der damals 84jährige vielseitig begabte Dietmar Lochner seine erste Einzelausstellung. Der in Hamburg lebende Künstler wird somit jetzt erst von einem größeren Publikum entdeckt. Lochner, der vor allem die Werke Rembrandts oder El Grecos schätzt, ordnet seine Arbeit als fiktiven Realismus mit symbolistischen Elementen ein (vgl. Ausstellungskatalog Galerie Beim Schlump – Dietmar Lochner 2022, Ateliergespräch). Lochners außergewöhnliche Bilder sind nicht nur ansprechend und oftmals sehr humorvoll, sie sind vor allem immer auch aussagekräftig. Dietmar Lochner besuchte zunächst die Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg und machte sein Staatsexamen als Kunsterzieher. Anschließend besuchte er die Technische Universität in München, Fachbereich Architektur. Von 1970 bis 1973 lehrte er an Hamburger Hochschulen und seit 1971 führt er ein Büro für Architektur- und Industriegraphik. Das Schaffen des nie müde werdenden Künstlers umfasst Malerei, Graphik und Skulpturen.
