OIN US! Sunday, May 17, for Refreshments and a Special Lecture at 1PM: “Objects in Motion: Highlights from the Chinalai Collection“


No one is more astonished at the title of this auction than we are. A 50-year collection! It all began when we were living in Thailand in the early 1970s. After having a baby and building a house designed by Vichai, a young architect with a brand-new office, we didn’t have much money left over to buy anything extra. Even so, little by little we managed to acquire pieces of antique Hill Tribe silver jewelry and Shan, Chinese and Cambodian embossed silver boxes. You will see some of them in this auction.
It didn’t take long for us to become entranced with antique tribal art. The older work was created with spontaneity and rich with stories. It contained a spirit that was individual, cultural, and communal. It had, in short, both beauty and soul.
Then, in the late 70s and early 80s, Vichai had several architectural projects in Bahrain and we moved there. He set up a branch office and, for fun, we opened the first indoor plant shop on the island. The business took off and we added gifts, crafts, and antiques, and later a restaurant (plus two more kids!). Every Friday we would drive into the island’s desert “countryside” to look for antique Persian tribal rugs, old chests, coffee pots, and other objects, or go to the souk to search for antique Bedouin jewelry. Vichai’s account of looking for old carpets in Bahrain is an entertaining read in HALI Magazine. “After the Rains” can be found on our website at https://www.chinalai.net/news-updates/ after-the-rains
After five years we left the shop and restaurant in the hands of friends and moved back to New York. Vichai continued to practice architecture in the United States and also in Nigeria. At the same time we opened a gallery. Within a few years we were participating in antique and ethnographic shows, and one or both of us traveled several times a year to Bahrain, Southeast Asia, and China. Vichai shifted his attention from architecture to the ethnographic antique business. Between doing shows and making buying trips we were away so often that we decided to close the gallery. Our collection grew, and so did our community of loyal customers. If you are one of them, we send you our heartfelt thanks.
Throughout the years it seemed that we bought almost as many books as artifacts. We wanted to know the origin of the art, how it was made and used, and what meaning it held and communicated through its patterns and iconography. We wanted to understand the people who made it, how they lived, and their history. We developed relationships with sellers, the runners, villagers, and tribal communities. We ate together, attended weddings and rituals, became close to an entire Akha village, and always, always, asked questions and did our best to expand our knowledge and understanding.
As we learned, we enthusiastically began to write. HALI Magazine was one of the first publications to include our articles. We curated numerous exhibits at tribal and Asian shows thanks to promoters Bill Caskey and Elizabeth Lees. Articles we wrote for their show catalogs, impeccably designed by graphic artist Marcia Loeb, complemented the exhibits brilliantly installed by Clare Graham and Bob Breen. We both continued to write. Lee gave talks at Textile Society of America symposiums and to museum and collectors’ groups, and Vichai wrote numerous articles and a couple of books on tribal customs and art for a well-known Thai magazine.
Our subjects included Li long bei (dragon covers), Yao priests’ robes, Cambodian silk ikats, Hua Yao embroidered skirts, Li embroidered head cloths, and more—many of which are offered in this auction. (More of our articles can be found on our website at https://www.chinalai.net/ articles.) In 2005 we applied for and were awarded a Rockefeller Foundation residency to further study yantra: talismanic drawings, engravings, or paintings executed by yantra masters to offer protection and invoke blessings from the cosmic universe. Yantra drawings and amulets are also represented in the auction.
Drawing from our own collection, we curated Deeply Yao at El Museo Cultural in Santa Fe, New Mexico, an exhibition of textiles and artifacts from one of the largest and historically creative tribal groups of China and mainland Southeast Asia. (Our thanks to John Morris and Kim Martindale for inviting us.) The Wang Center at Stony Brook University, thanks to Jinyoung Jin, Director, presented our antique tribal blankets in Auspicious Dreams — Blankets of Southern China; and the Nassau County Museum of Art brought a variety of our textiles and objects to Other Worlds Than This, an exhibition that explored the subconscious and supernatural. We wish to acknowledge the numerous tribal populations and their ancestors for bringing so many wondrous works of art into the world.
We thank George Jevremović, Matt Wilcox, Hannah Blubaugh, and all of the staff at Material Culture for recognizing the importance of this collection through a solo auction. As you look through the catalog you will see many of our most beloved textiles, jewelry, objects, paintings, and carpets. Some of these were published, by us and others, and some have never been shown before.
We hope everyone taking this journey with us—whether museum curator, scholar, artist, designer, author, or collector—will feel and share in the splendor, awe, and appreciation we have been so lucky to experience throughout the decades.

没有人比我们更惊讶于这场拍卖的标题——五十年珍藏!
这一切始于上世纪七十年代初我们在泰国的生活。那时我们刚生了孩子,又请一位名叫维猜的年 轻建筑师设计了一栋房 子,他当时刚拥有一间崭新的事务所。之后,我们手头拮据,无力再添置 其他东西。即便如此,我们还是一点一点地收集 了一些古老的山地部落银饰,以及掸族和中国风 格的浮雕银盒。您将在本次拍卖中看到其中的一些。
我们很快就被所有古老的部落艺术品深深吸引。早期的作品充满灵感,蕴含着丰富的故事。它们 既有个人特色,又有文化 底蕴,更具有社群精神。简而言之,它们兼具美感与灵魂。
七十年代末八十年代初,维猜在巴林有几个建筑项目,于是我们搬到了那里。他设立了一个分公 司,我们则出于兴趣,在 岛上开了第一家室内植物店。生意兴隆,我们又增加了礼品、工艺品和 古董,后来又开了一家餐厅(还多了两个孩子!) 。每个星期五,我们都会驱车前往岛上的沙漠 “乡村”,寻找波斯部落古董地毯、旧箱子、咖啡壶和其他古董,或者去集市 淘贝都因古董珠宝。
维猜在《哈利》志上发表了一篇关于在巴林寻找旧地毯的文章,读来妙趣横生。您可以在我们 的网站 上找到《雨后》这篇文章:https://www.chinalai.net/news-updates/after-the-rains。
五年后,我们把商店和餐厅交给朋友打理,搬回了纽约。维猜继续在美国和尼日利亚从事建筑设 计工作。与此同时,我们 也开了一家画廊。几年之内,我们便开始参加古董和民族志展览,我们 两人每年都会多次前往巴林、东南亚和中国。维猜 将注意力从建筑转向了民族志古董生意。由于 忙于参展和采购,我们经常在外奔波,最终决定关闭画廊。我们的藏品日益 丰富,忠实的客户群 体也日益壮大——如果您也是其中一员,我们衷心感谢您。
多年来,我们购买的书籍数量似乎几乎与文物数量一样多。我们渴望了解艺术品的起源、制作和 使用方式;以及它们通过 图案和图像所蕴含和传达的意义。我们想要了解制作这些艺术品的人 们,了解他们的生活方式和历史。我们与卖家、搬运 工、村民和部落社区建立了联系。我们一起 吃饭,参加婚礼和仪式,与整个阿卡族村庄建立了深厚的友谊,并且始终保持 求知欲,尽最大努 力拓展我们的知识和理解。
随着学习的深入,我们开始热情地写作。
《HALI》志是最早刊登我们文章的出版物之一。在推 广人比尔·卡斯基和伊丽莎 白·李的帮助下,我们策划了众多部落和亚洲展览。我们为他们的展览 图录撰写的文章,与克莱尔·格雷厄姆和鲍勃·布林精 心布置的展品相得益彰,这些图录由平面设 计师玛西娅·勒布精心设计。我们两人都继续写作。李在美国纺织学会研讨会以 及博物馆和收藏家 团体发表演讲,而维猜则为一家知名的泰国志撰写了大量关于部落习俗和艺术的文章。
我们的主题包括黎族龙贝(龙形衣襟)、瑶族祭司长袍、柬埔寨丝绸伊卡特、华瑶族刺绣裙、黎 族刺绣头巾等等,所有这 些藏品都将在本次拍卖中亮相。 (您可以在我们的网站 https://www.chinalai.net/articles 上找到我们的一些文章。)2005年, 我们申请并获得了洛克菲勒基金会 的驻留项目,以进一步研究曼陀罗:曼陀罗大师绘制的护身符图案、雕刻或绘画,旨在 提供保护 并祈求宇宙的祝福。曼陀罗图案和护身符也将在本次拍卖中亮相。
我们从自己的收藏中汲取灵感,在位于新墨西哥州圣达菲的埃尔文化博物馆策划了“深入瑶族”展 览——该展览展出了来自 中国和东南亚大陆最大、最具历史创造力的部落群体之一的纺织品和文 物。(感谢约翰·莫里斯和金·马丁代尔的邀请。)感 谢石溪大学王氏文化中心主任金金永 (Jinyoung Jin)的帮助,该中心在“吉祥之梦——中国南方毯子”展览中展出了我们的 古代部落毯 子;拿骚郡艺术博物馆将我们的各种纺织品和物品带到了“异世界”展览,该展览探索了潜意识和 超自然现象。
我们还要感谢众多部落及其祖先,感谢他们为世界带来了如此之多的精美艺术品。
我们感谢乔治·耶夫雷莫维奇、马特·威尔科克斯、汉娜·布鲁博以(Material Culture)所有工作人 员,感谢他们通过此次专 场拍卖,认可了这批藏品的价值。翻阅图录,您将看到我们最珍爱的纺 织品、珠宝、器物、绘画和地毯。其中一些曾发表 过,而另一些则是首次公开亮相。
我们希望所有与我们一同踏上这段旅程的人,无论他们是博物馆馆长、学者、艺术家、设计师、 作家还是收藏家,都能感 受到并分享我们数十年来有幸体验到的辉煌、敬畏和赞赏。
维猜和李

The property offered and sold through New Material Culture, Inc.’s (hereinafter MC) public auctions (hereinafter the Property) shall be offered and sold pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below (hereinafter the Agreement). This Agreement constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions pursuant to which all Property is offered for sale. By bidding at the auction,whether in person, by agent, in writing, by telephone, internet bid or any other means, the buyer of the Property (hereinafter the Buyer) agrees to be bound by this Agreement.
PROPERTY SOLD AS IS. Except as expressly stated below in the LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION, all Property is sold as is, where is, with all faults. Neither MC nor any consignor makes any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied with respect to the Property or the correctness of the catalogue or any other description of the Property. In no event shall MC or the consignor be responsible for the correctness, nor be deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin or condition of the Property. No statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation.
LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION. With regard ONLY to descriptions of fine art in which a specific artist is named as the artist, all information contained in the catalogue concerning the authenticity of said Property is guaranteed for a period of 30 days from the date of the sale. If, within that 30 day period, Buyer has complied with all Terms and Conditions of Sale regarding timely payment and collection of said Property and would like to dispute the authenticity of said Property, Buyer can submit, at his own expense, two written professional opinions regarding authenticity by recognized authenticators, jointly approved by both MC and Buyer. In the event said Property is judged inauthentic by both expert authenticators, said Property may be returned if it is in the same condition as at time of sale and the Buyer’s full purchase price will be refunded. Refunds shall not include cost of transportation, insurance or other expenses that Buyer may have incurred. This limited right of rescission is available only to the original auction Buyer and does not extend or transfer to any subsequent owner, heir, agent transferee or any other third party.
WITHDRAWAL OF PROPERTY. MC reserves the right to withdraw any Property at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute.
COPYRIGHT AND REPRODUCTION RIGHTS. MC and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the Buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any Property sold. MC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the Property sold in the catalogue. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for MC relating to Property, including the contents of the catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of MC and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else, without MCs prior written consent.
EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY. All Property is available for examination prior to bidding. The Buyers bidding signifies that the Buyer has examined the Property as fully as desired or has chosen not to examine the Property. MC recommends that prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest prior to bidding.
RESERVES. Some of the Property in the sale is offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and MC below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the low estimates listed. Bidding will begin at a price appropriate in the auctioneers discretion. The auctioneer always reserves the right to withdraw Property for any reason he deems appropriate.
ORDER OF BIDS. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. MC reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. Please be aware that MC accepts bids from various sources including online bidding platforms, phone bidders, floor bidders, and online and in-house absentee bidders. The auctioneer will accept bids in the order they are received during the course of the live auction. Absentee bidders please take note: in situations where there is more than one party bidding on a lot when the bidding stops, you risk losing the lot to another buyer, depending on the order the bids are received by the auctioneer during the course of the live auction. The safest way to ensure you win a lot is to bid live (online, in-house, or by phone).
ABSENTEE AND PHONE BIDDING. Absentee and phone bidding are permitted by prospective bidders who cannot be present at the auction. Please complete the Absentee Bid and/or Phone Reservation form. Absentee bids are executed competitively and confidentially. All reservations for phone bidding are held in the strictest confidence and must be received by 5 pm EST the day before the auction. No additional phone bids will be accepted at such time including additions when speaking with a staff person on the phone. Written absentee bids may be submitted on the Absentee Bid Form up to 30 lots before the item comes up for auction. Leaving an absentee or phone bid on a lot indicates your willingness to open the bidding at one half the printed estimate, and gives the auctioneer the authority to open the bidding at that level, or to open the bidding on a lot with a printed reserve at the reserve price. In the case of identical absentee bids, the bid received first will prevail. Bids left on internet portals are not executed until the item is offered in the live auction and the order in which they are received is not a factor.
CUT BIDS. We do not accept cut bids, (bids less than the last interval) from the floor or from absentee bidders including phone and internet bidders. Thus, it is possible that a lot could go to another bidder for less than an absentee bid. For example, if the bids are progressing in $10 dollar increments and an absentee falls at a $5 increment we will not take the bid since it is less than the $10 increment.
FOLLOWING ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR BIDDING INCREMENTS:
$0-$500 by $25 increments
$500-$1,000 by $50 increments
$1,000 $3,000 by $100 increments
$3,000-$5,000 by $250 increments
$5,000-$10,000 by $500 increments

MC reserves the right to not issue a Buyers number or to withhold merchandise if appropriate credit has not been established. Credit arrangements must be made by the Friday prior to the day of auction so bank statements can be verified.

All Property purchased must be paid for no later than 5 pm EST on the seventh business day following the sale.

Items not collected by the 30th day following the sale may be sold by MC or sent by MC to a public warehouse at the sole risk of, and charge to, the Buyer and MC may prohibit the Buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or purchaser in any future sale. No Property may be removed from MCs premises until the Buyer has paid in full the purchase price including Buyers premium. MC shall have no liability for any damage to Property left on its premises after the auction. A defaulting Buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to MC a continuing security interest of first priority in any Property or money of, or owing to such Buyer in MCs possession, and MC may retain and apply such Property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to MC. MC shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code.

Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Pennsylvania if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a Pennsylvania exemption number prior to the auction.

Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws.
