Charlotte Aguttes-Reynier, Asian painters expert
Modern Chinese art opened this auction dedicated to Asian painters, with two completely unknown oil paintings by Sanyu, acquired before 1940 by a Russian collector living in Belgium. These two paintings, because of their very early dating for Sanyu, shed a beautiful light on his work, and enrich his catalog raisonné. They now join a large collection in Taiwan.
« I am very sensitive to offer to each of my clients a tailor-made accompaniment of availability. They can contact me at any time and thus participate fully in the sale of their property. My goal is to give them access to the world's greatest collectors in a simple way »

Provenance Henri-Pierre Roché Collection, Paris Collection Alexandre Netsa - Mamonoff / Marynen (acquired before 1940) Private collection, Belgium (by transmission of the precedents in 2003)

These two paintings combine European and Asian influences in their technique: while Sanyu adopted oil painting from the West, which he discovered during his apprenticeship at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, he kept the assured gestures of his training in China. Le maître de piste, Monsieur Loyal, à cheval, 1926 (lot 203) fetched €450,200 while La théière jaune sold for €175,000. While 85% of the lots in the sale were sold, 100% of those in the section dedicated to Vietnam found buyers, and 39% of them exceeded €150,000. The collection of Mr. and Mrs. T, alone, totaled € 695 000. From this group of 5 works, comes, among others, Femme à la robe verte et enfant, sur la table un bouquet jaune de Lê Phổ (lot 243), which obtained 207,760 €.

« Mr L's collection was a real success at the Asian Art auction on May 31. There were frantic bidding battles, unprecedented results for enamelled biscuits, and the observation of a strong and diversified market for high quality pieces. The collection effect, the provenance and the rarity of certain objects presented inevitably contributed to the success of the sale.»

Lê Thị Lựu (1911-1988)
Ink and gouache on silk.
45.8 x 38.4 cm
PROVENANCE Private collection, France (acquired in 1971) Private collection, France (inherited in 1990)
437 440 €
Lê Thị Lựu a provoqué, quant à elle, une bataille d’enchères jusqu’à 437 440 € (lot 221), et ce résultat conforte une fois encore l’intérêt croissant pour cette artiste, dont la cote s’envole depuis quelques mois. Il s’agit de l’une des quelque artistes femmes diplômées de l’École des Beaux-Arts d’Indochine, et son œuvre reste rare et confidentiel.
Mai Trung Thứ (1906-1980)
En plein air, circa 1940-45
Ink and gouache on silk.
73 x 53.8 cm
794 720 €
Mai Trung Thứ, a key artist at Aguttes, once again stood out to connoisseurs with, in particular, the highest bid in this sale: €794,720, for En plein air (lot 220), closely followed by Romance au clair de lune (lot 222), which fetched €514,000.
Four of Alix Aymé's works, presented at the Paris Colonial Exhibition, were sold for a total of €797,280. In 1931, more than 60 works by this ethnographer were exhibited at the Colonial Exhibition, including 47 paintings and 8 pastels in the Laos Pavilion. At the end of the exhibition, 30 of Alix's 47 paintings were sent back to Laos, and traces of them have been lost to this day. No work by Alix Aymé was reserved for the Musée des colonies, which was then being set up. These facts make it all the more valuable for the painter's family to keep this set of four works, which were sold on June 2.
These 33rd and 34th sales dedicated to Painters of Asia totaled nearly 6.1 million euros, and the 35th sale is scheduled for October 3, 2022 in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
