PHILADELPHIA — It was a wrap on Material Culture’s two-day sale on October 29 with ethnographic, tribal, ancient and Asian material commanding bidder attention following October 28’s presentation of the Thomas Wheelock collection of African art. In total, there were 649 lots offered with 565 sold. Leading the results over the two days was a monumental antique Chinese landscape painting from the late Seventeenth Century, which tripled its high estimate to claim $65,000 with premium. Measuring 52 by 80 inches, “Fishing Scenery,” an ink and color on silk, titled and bearing the signature of Yuan Jiang (1662-1735) and dated 1698, had provenance to the collections of Dr Mattiebelle Stimson Gittinger and Dr J. Price Gittinger. Cataloging surmised that it had probably been purchased in 1961 from Philip Chu, a noted dealer in rugs and curios in Kowloon, Hong Kong. More highlights from the sales will be discussed in a later review.
