Hammersite Art Auctioneers - +972 37 44 12 72 - Email
Nos enorgullece presentar la Colección Yossef Maiman de Arte Precolombino.
Esta colección fue cuidadosamente curada durante más de 30 años por el Sr. Maiman en asociación con expertos de renombre mundial en arte peruano - Alfredo Rosenzweig, Krysztof Makowski, María Jesús Jiménez Díaz, Janusz Z. Woloszyn y Dan Eban ex conservador del Museo de Arte de Israel.
Este esfuerzo fue un homenaje a la familia del Sr. Maiman, que buscó refugio en Perú tras el Holocausto. Incluso después de establecerse en Israel, su vínculo con Perú permaneció intacto. Fue Cónsul Honorario de Perú y promovió numerosas iniciativas culturales peruanas en Israel.
La colección tiene dos procedencias principales:
Una parte significativa de la cerámica procede de la colección de los Kemper. Kate Kemper nació en Alemania en 1908 y un viaje a Perú despertó su pasión por el arte peruano. Amasó una impresionante colección, principalmente durante sus viajes por Europa para la empresa que dirigía. La importancia de su colección es evidente, con importantes exposiciones como "Arte antiguo peruano" en Londres (1962) y "Alt Peru, Die Sammlung Kemper" en Münster (1972). En la década de 1970, donó una parte sustancial al "Museo de Arte Islámico" y esa colección fue adquirida posteriormente por el Sr. Maiman. El resto se subastó en Christie's, Ámsterdam, en 1995.
La parte textil procede del "Museo de Arte de Haifa". Tras una exposición y el posterior cierre del departamento de etnología del museo, el Sr. Maiman adquirió la colección a finales de la década de 1980.
El Sr. Maiman dedicó años a catalogar meticulosamente cada pieza. Su dedicación culminó en tres exhaustivos libros, que destacan las joyas de la colección. Dos de ellos, disponibles en línea(https://issuu.com/hammersite/docs/offerings_for_the_afterlife?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ; https://issuu.com/hammersite/docs/weaving_for_the_afterlife?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ&nbs p;), sirven de referencia y lectura complementaria para posibles compradores y acompañan a nuestro catálogo en línea.
AVISO A TODOS LOS COMPRADORES En el catálogo no se indica el estado de conservación. Todos los artículos se venden en el estado en que se encuentran. La ausencia de tal referencia no implica que el lote esté en buen estado o libre de defectos o imperfecciones. Todas las dimensiones son aproximadas y tienen carácter meramente indicativo. Los posibles compradores deben cerciorarse por sí mismos del estado de cada lote. No obstante, se pueden facilitar informes sobre el estado de los objetos a petición de los interesados.
We’re proud to present the Yossef Maiman Collection of Pre-Columbian Art.
This collection was carefully curated for over 30 years by Mr. Maiman in association with world renowned experts in Peruvian art – Alfredo Rosenzweig, Krysztof Makowski, Maria Jesus Jimenez Diaz, Janusz Z. Woloszyn and Dan Eban former curator of the Israel Museum of Art.
This endeavor was a tribute to Mr. Maiman's family, who sought refuge in Peru post-Holocaust. Even after settling in Israel, his bond with Peru remained unbroken. He held the title of Honorary Consul of Peru and championed numerous Peruvian cultural initiatives in Israel.
The collection boasts two primary provenances:
A significant portion of the pottery originates from the Kemper's collection. Kate Kemper was born in Germany in 1908, and a trip to Peru ignited her passion for its art. She amassed an impressive collection, primarily during her European travels for the business she managed. Her collection's significance is evident, with major exhibitions like 'Ancient Peruvian Art' in London (1962) and 'Alt Peru, Die Sammlung Kemper' in Münster (1972). In the 1970s, she donated a substantial part to the "Museum of Islamic Art" and that collection was later purchased by Mr. Maiman. The rest was auctioned at Christie’s, Amsterdam in 1995.
The textile segment hails from the "Haifa Museum of Art." After an exhibition and the subsequent closure of the museum's ethnology department, Mr. Maiman acquired the collection in the late 1980s.
Mr. Maiman dedicated years to meticulously cataloguing each piece. His dedication culminated in three exhaustive books, highlighting the collection's gems. Two of them, available online (https://issuu.com/hammersite/docs/offerings_for_the_afterlife?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ ; https://issuu.com/hammersite/docs/weaving_for_the_afterlife?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ&nbs p;), serve as a reference and further reading for potential buyers and accompany our online catalogue.
