We are delighted to present an exceptional collection of Mesoamerican and South American advanced civilizations from a Munich art collection. Assembled over decades with great expertise and completed in the 1990s, it unites outstanding works from various regions and periods. Its scope, comprising approximately 90 works, its exceptional quality, and its meticulously curated nature are already considered “culturally and historically significant” by experts. Its debut on the art market is likely to considerably increase interest.
Among the highlights of the collection is this well-preserved and frequently published pictorial inscription relief. It is now considered an important reference work and has been a component of archaeological research and Mayan epigraphy since 1973.

Further highlights await you, including Antiquities and protohistoric idols, West African works from a private Viennese collection, delicate gold jewellery of the Akan people, masks and figures from the French artist Claude Jaged‘s collection and ethnographic objects from a small colonial collection.

More details to follow soon…

The 2-volume catalogue is expected to be sent on April 8 - and is then also online available.
