For the type see Lewerentz, A., ‘Stehende männliche Gewandstatuen im Hellenismus‘, in Antiquitates Archäologische Forschungsergebnisse, Band 5, Hamburg, 1993, pp.18ff. and pp.241ff., nos.I, 1; I, 3; I, 4; I, 9; pls.1-8; Stewart, A., Hellenistic freestanding sculpture from the Athenian Agora, part. 1, Hesperia, 81, 2012, p.267-342. On loan to the Antikenmuseum und Sammlung Ludwig, Basel, 1993-2009. Over 500 kg, 152 cm high (59 3/4 in.). Despite the damage, the statue proves itself to be a high quality of work by a virtuoso sculptor. The sparing use of strong movements and their diagonal contrast in the hand-foot ratio speaks for an early period of this type of sculpture, known from few examples from Attica and islands. Similar treatment of the representation of women with chiton and himation during the Hellenistic period are typical mainly for the Tanagra type terracottas of the 4th century BC.

Ethiopia. This item is from the New York gallery collection of Merton D. Simpson, one of the world's most respected dealers of African and tribal art. Merton D. Simpson Gallery of Tribal and Contemporary Art was established in 1954, with galleries in New York and Paris. For nearly 60 years, Merton D. Simpson has been instrumental in helping individuals and institutions worldwide to build comprehensive, culturally significant collections. At a time when African tribal and Oceanic art was a mystery to most collectors, Merton Simpson was already forging friendships with tribal leaders and establishing business relationships that allowed him access to highly important objects of unquestionable provenance. Now 83, Mr. Simpson is perhaps best known as an African art expert and gallerist, but he is also an accomplished artist in his own right. He was one of few African-American painters to receive recognition in the 1950s, and his works were included in shows at the Guggenheim and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. His prestigious list of public and private clients ranges from The United Nations (NY), The Menil Collection (Houston), Rockefeller Family Collection (NY) and Helena Rubenstein Collection (NY) to old private collections and museums in Europe. His "eye" is famous, and his expertise is highly respected, not only by numerous museum curators, but also by private collectors around the world. Merton D. Simpson is pleased to offer a selection of hand-chosen museum-quality objects of traditional African art from his gallery in the Nov. 17, 2012 auction.
