Westneuguinea / Westpapua (Irian Jaya), Asmatcollected in situ (1970) by Jac Hoogerbrugge (1923 - 2014) serving as a transport agent of the Royal Dutch Shipping Company and subsequently, as a UNESCO official in Indonesia and New Guinea allowed him to probe deeply into the ritual art of the Batak (north Sumatra), Lake Sentani, the Humboldt Bay, the Asmat (New Guinea), and the Dayak (Borneo). Later in life, having returned to the Netherlands, he continued to hunt out items of ethnographic interest - at auctions, but also by means of his excellent connections in missionary circles and with former colonials. At the same time he explored colonial and missionary archives in order to contextualize and document the objects he found.sold EUR 2,600
