Hugo Weihe, International Director, International Specialist, Head of Indian and Southeast Asian Art, comments: The sale of The Doris Wiener Collection marked a milestone for the field. Realizing nearly $12.8 million, this is the highest total ever achieved for a single owner collection of classical Indian and Southeast Asian Art at Christies. The collection included an outstanding group of exceptionally rare and beautiful works- a testament to Ms. Wieners discerning eye as a doyen in the field. Many star lots of the sale performed significantly above their pre-sale estimates, especially the important gilt bronze figure of Padmapani and the important bronze group of Somaskanda, reflecting a market that honors quality and provenance. We were delighted to see wide international participation by buyers in the room, on the phone, and on Christie's LIVE. We look forward to continuing our sales of Indian and Southeast Asian Art tomorrow.
