Treasure trove of Asian art to be sold by Hindman auction house
A Large and Rare Bronze Tripod Tureen and Ladle. Diameter of tureen 9 inches. Estimate: $15,000-25,000.



CHICAGO, IL.- Hindman LLC today announced the sale of Asian Works of Art, featuring property from the collections of Jane Davis Doggett and The Halim Time and Glass Museum, in addition to Chinese paintings from the estate of Mr. Julius Sih. Items from these collections, alongside numerous exceptional pieces of Chinese bronze and metalwork, will be sold at auction Monday, March 25, and will be on view in Chicago Thursday, March 21 through Monday, March 25.

Several outstanding archaic Chinese bronzes are highlights of the March sale. The oldest piece in the sale is a rare bronze ritual food vessel dating from the Late Shang Dynasty (12th – 11th Century B.C.) from the Sackler Collections. The vessel bears an inscription of two kneeling figures flanking a ritual vessel above a gui character, which is illustrated in the accompanying text Shang Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections by Robert Bagley. A second feature is a rare Tang Dynasty (618-907) bronze tripod tureen and an ladle from Tokyo’s esteemed Idemitsu Collection.

Chinese paintings from the estate of Mr. Julius Sih, a civil engineer active in Chicago in the 1960s and 70s, are included in the upcoming sale. In 2017, Hindman LLC sold a signed Qi Baishi scroll painting from this collection to an Eastern Chinese buyer for $269,000. In the March sale, highlights from the Sih Collection include calligraphies by Ye Gongchao, hanging scrolls by Wu Zheng, and a selection of fine Chinese wood block prints.

The sale also includes eleven works from the personal collection of renowned graphic designer and artist Jane Davis Doggett, a former student of Bauhaus color theorist Josef Albers. Sculptures from her collection offered in the March sale include two Angkor Wat-style stone sculptures; an 11th century torso of Vishnu; as well as a Chinese Northern Qi Dynasty limestone torso of a standing Buddha. Hindman LLC’s April 16-17 sale of Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts will feature eleven works from Doggett’s collection of Western ancient art, including a Roman marble sculpture of Heracles and the Nemean lion.
