He was born in the city of Augsburg in 1914 and after a long life spent travelling across the globe, passed away in Adelaide in 2007. In his early twenties, Walter Hochstadter journeyed to China, where he studied at the College of Chinese studies in Beijing, beginning in the summer of 1935. While in China, he visited kiln sites and pottery centers, beginning his life long interest in Chinese ceramics, while also initiating his career as an art dealer.
In 1938 he established an address in New York, which he maintained for decades. This home served primarily as a base from where he travelled widely and frequently throughout Asia and Europe, until his late Eighties. During World war II he primarily commuted between Hong Kong and the United States as his parents lived in New York. After China was liberated in World War II, he returned permanently to Hong Kong, where he resided until he retired to Adelaide in 1997.
Although a very private individual, Walter Hochstadter was well known among connoisseurs scholars and collectors of Chinese art. Among the clients to whom he sold ceramics, bronze vessels, jades, and paintings, were many of the most active American collectors of their day including Avery
Brundage,C.C.Wang, Senator Theodore Francis Green, Eli Lily, J.T. Tai, and Richard Hobart.
Walter sold to venerable institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, The Toledo Museum of Art, The Freer Gallery, Cleveland Museum of Art and the Nelson Atkins Museum. His interest in promoting the appreciation of Chinese art in the West inspired him to donate especially interesting objects to the Yale Art Gallery, the Harvard Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The National Palace Museum, Taipei and the University of Hong Kong, where he was named an Honorary fellow in the late 1950s.
His dedication to the study of Chinese art resulted in the authorship of several highly regarded scholarly texts: Early Chinese Ceramics in the Buffalo Museum of Science (1946) “Pottery and stoneware’s of Shang Chou and Han” (BMFEA, No 24 1952) and “ The real Shen Chou” (Journal of Oriental Studies. 1959/60)
His later years were spent conducting research and collecting photographs for a magnum opus. “A Compendium of Chinese paintings”, in which he sought to present a canon of reliably authentic paintings by China’s great masters. This final project synthesized Walter Hochstadter’s life’s work of encouraging and deepening interest in and love of Chinese art.

A VERY RARE CHINESE YELLOW-GLAZED POTTERY 'DRAGON AND PHOENIX' 'PILGRIM' FLASK, NORTHERN QI DYNASTY (550–577)
北齊 黃釉高浮雕龙鳳紋扁壺
23.3cm high
Pilgrim flasks like the present example are known as bianhu which translates to a ‘flattened jar’. Travellers preferred these types of vessels as drinking containers for longer journeys because of the lug handles. The shape of this vessel shows strong influence from West and Central Asia. A design of a phoenix on these flasks is a typical motif of the 5th and 6th Centuries, but designs of dragons are exceptionally rare. The combination of dragon and phoenix design in this period represents strength, fortune and perseverance rather than the Emperor and Empress in the later periods (Song-Qing period). The presence of large bunches of grapes and sinuous vines is an additional highlight to this flask. They show “much of the Hellenistic tradition which was present specially in Khotan, Miran and Loulan, the cities of the southern Silk Road through Central Asia”. (Watson, 1984)
Flasks decorated with a dragon are extremely rare while phoenix decoration is more common. A flask with almost identical decoration, has been discussed in Mr. Wu's essay, which is currently in a private collection in Toronto, sold at Sotheby's London, 18/06/1985, lot 29. For similar flasks with both sides decorated with a dancing phoenix flanked by grape vines, see Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 29/11/2019, lot 394; and Sotheby's London, June 10 1986, lot 112. Also see, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (26.292.44), illustrated at R.D. Mowry, Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers: Chinese Brown and Black Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400, p. 83. In addition, see, The Meiyintang Collection, PX . Furthermore, see British Museum (1936.1012. 253), formally in the collection of George Eumorfopoulos.
For similar flasks decorated with central Asian dancers amidst grape vines, see, Metropolitan Museum (A2001.629) and the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Lucy Maud Buckingham Collection, (1924.270). Also compare to a smaller flask with dancing monkey decoration covered with a green glaze, and dated to the Tang dynasty, see Christie's New York, 14/09/2018, lot 1278.

CE
The figure is carved standing with the right hand raised, possibly in abhaya mudra, the left arm lowered along the side of the body, possibly in varada mudra. He is wearing an Indian style uttarasanga and antaravasaka, the intermediary shawl secured with a tied cable was first introduced in 489 CE after a decree which attempted to curb the growing Indian cultural influence on Northern China and promote the sinofication of the nomadic Xianbei society.
北魏 青石雕释迦牟尼佛身立像
65.5cm high; 73cm with mount
The asymmetrical execution of the uttarasanga dates to the Eastern Wei. Medieval iconoclastic persecutions of Buddhism, first taking place in 845 AD, are the likely explanation for damage inflicted upon this image. It would have likely been richly decorated with pigments and gilding. This lot was officially exported from Hong Kong by shippers and handlers recommended and approved by Mass Transit Railway Corporation of Hong Kong on the 10th May 2003, with documentation.

STUDIO OF NGUYEN PHAN CHANH (VIETNAMESE, 1892-1984)
Lên Dong or ‘Une Expérience Mediumique’ (‘A temple medium offering incense’)
signed in Chinese and stamped with the artist’s seal (centre/upper left) ink and gouache on silk painted circa 1960 following the 1931 original version
越南 阮潘正 （1892-1984）
水墨水粉絹本 題款，簽名，鈐印
46.0 x 65.2 cm – image size
47.5 x 66.0 cm - folio size
68.8 x 87.7 cm – frame size
Having graduated in 1930 from the first course of the École des Beaux Arts de L’Indochine in Hanoi, this image is among the artist’s best known works and considered an icon of Vietnamese art, originally painted in 1931 and exhibited at the International/Colonial Exhibition in Paris in 1931, where it was acquired by a French collector. As far as is known that first painting is still held by descendants of that collector.
It is known that the artist repainted this picture in 1972 for the collection of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi. The Fine Arts Museum also requested Nguyen Phan Chanh to reproduce some of his own paintings from the 1930s during the 1960s when American bombing of North Vietnam started. The museum was concerned that national treasures might be lost forever if the museum storage was destroyed. The most
important thirty or so national treasure paintings were evacuated into caves in the countryside.
Also, when loaning out paintings for international exhibitions, the culture ministry (and its museums) often followed the practice of making reproductions for the loans, either by the original artists during their lifetime or by other artists employed by the government.
During the last twenty-six years only two other versions of the Lendong painting are known to have come on the market: at Christie’s Hong Kong ‘Asian 20th Century Art Sale’ on 25 November 2018, lot 341, catalogued as ‘ink and gouache on silk, 46 x 62.5 cm , signed and inscribed in Chinese (middle left), one seal of the artist, painted circa 1960 following the 1931 original version’. The painting sold for HK$225,000 (approx.US$26,500). A similar version of Lên Dong was sold in Paris on 14 March 2022 at Aguttes Auctions’ sale “Painters of Asia – Major Works”, lot 43, catalogued as “La Sorcière, Follower of Nguyen Phan Chanh” which sold for Euro136,500 (approx. US$149,000).
This work is accompanied by the catalogue raisonné of the artist’s work, a limited edition published in 1992 by the National Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi to commemorate the centennial anniversary of his birth, titled Tranh Lua {Silk Paintings} – Nguyen Phan Chanh.

Terms and Conditions of Sale
The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Artvisory Pty Ltd. They are the terms on which Artvisory Pty Ltd and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions
The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows:
“the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer
“the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue.
“the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot
“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price.
“the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Artvisory has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.
“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting).
“the insured value” means the amount that Artvisory in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Artvisory.)
All values expressed in Artvisory Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in Australian Dollars (AU$) unless otherwise specified.
2. Artvisory Auctions as Agent
Except as otherwise stated Artvisory Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.
The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.
3. Before the Sale
a) Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Artvisory nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below.
The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”
b) Catalogue and other Descriptions
All statements by Artvisory in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Artvisory of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Artvisory nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.
Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in Australian dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.
c) Buyers Responsibility
All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Artvisory or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report
No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.
4. At the Sale
a) Refusal of Admission
Artvisory reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.
b) Registration before Bidding
Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo-identification before bidding. Artvisory may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.
c) Bidding as a Principal
When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Artvisory before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Artvisory and that Artvisory will only look to the principal for payment.
d) International Registrations
All International clients not known to Artvisory will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Artvisory’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Artvisory also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 can not be charged to this card without prior arrangement.
This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase.
e) Absentee bids
Artvisory will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Artvisory after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.
f) Telephone bids
Priority will be given to overseas and interstate bidders. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Artvisory accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Artvisory cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Artvisory of the lots in question and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (ie. reserve) for all such lots. Artvisory will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices.
92
G) Online Bidding
Artvisory offers an online bidding service via Invaluable.com. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Artvisory and agrees to pay any fees charged in regard to any purchases made via Invaluable.com. Artvisory accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details.
H) Reserves
Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
I) Auctioneers Discretion
The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Artvisory’s sale record is conclusive.
J) Successful bid and passing of risk
Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.
K) Indicative Bidding steps, etc.
Artvisory reserves the right to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot from sale, to place a reserve on any lot and to advance the bidding according to the following, at the auctioneers discretion:
Increment Amount Dollar Range

Payments can also be made by credit card in person with a 1.43% (inc GST) merchant fee for Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

All packing, shipping, insurance, postage & associated charges will be borne by the purchaser.
e) Cultural heritage Export Licences

It is the Buyer’s responsibility to check Australia’s Protection of Moveable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 before purchase. If the Buyer requests Artvisory to apply
for an export licence then we shall be entitled to charge a fee for this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the Buyer where payment is made by the Buyer in circumstances where an export licence is not granted.
f) Remedies for non-payment
If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, Artvisory is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available under the law)
i) to charge interest at such a rate as we shall reasonably decide
ii) to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for it’s recovery along with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law
iii) to cancel the sale
iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we see fit
v) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon Artvisory in the event that the item(s) are sold for an amount greater than the original invoiced amount.
vi) to set off against any amounts which Artvisory may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer.
vii) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to us, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs.
viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids.
ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to us.
x) to take such other action as Artvisory deem necessary or appropriate
If we do sell the property under paragraph (iv), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon reselling as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kinds associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (v) the Buyer acknowledges that Artvisory shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount.
93
g) Failure to collect purchases
Where purchases are not collected within 3 days from the sale date, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage handling, insurance and any other costs incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.
6. Extent of Artvisory Liability
Artvisory agrees to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 7 below. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lots. Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller ourselves, our officers, agents or employees give any representation warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph.
7. Limited Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of thirty days from the date of the sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue.
The warranty is subject to the following:
i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property.
ii) the benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Artvisory when the lot was sold at Auction.
iii) the Original Buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party
iv) The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot less the buyers premium which is non refundable. Neither the Seller nor Artvisory will be liable for
any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits not for interest.
v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within thirty days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Artvisory to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty.
vi) the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.
8. Severability
If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
9. Copyright
The copyright of all images, illustrations and written material produced by Artvisory relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain the property at all times of Artvisory and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our prior written consent. Artvisory and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.
10. Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions and any matters concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the auction is held.
11. Pre-Sale Estimates
Artvisory publishes with each catalogue our opinion as to the estimated price range for each lot. These estimates are approximate prices only and are not intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in advance of the sale and may be subject to revision. Interested parties should contact Artvisory prior to auction for updated pre-sale estimates and starting prices.
12. Sale results
Artvisory will provide auction results, which will be available as soon as possible after the sale. Results will include buyer’s premium. These results will be posted at www.artvisory.com.au.
13. Goods and Service Tax
In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 Artvisory Auctions will collect on behalf of the Australian tax office (ATO) a Goods and Service Tax (GST) of 10% on all applicable transactions. GST is applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is selling property that is owned by an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is not an Australian resident. These lots are denoted by a dagger symbol † placed next to the estimate.
GST is also applicable on the buyer’s premium.
Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in Australia will not be charged GST on both hammer price and premiums under the following conditions:
1. The items are exported through a Artvisory approved freight company including Australia Post
2. The items are exported within 60 days of the date of the sale
The invoice supplied by Artvisory for purchases will be regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes.
14. Resale Royalty Scheme

• is the sale/reserve price (including GST) $1,000 or more?
• is the artist from Australia or a country listed in the Regulations to the Act?
• is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70 years?
The seller:
i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty for Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act);
ii) undertakes to comply with all requirements of the Act, including by providing its agent, the company, with accurate information sufficient for compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the Act;
iii) undertakes to indemnify the company for any loss incurred by the company as a result of the vendor’s failure to comply with any of the vendor’s legal obligations under the Act; and
