Alex Gurevich, Montréal, acquis principalement à Hong Kong dans les années 1960
Par filiation à la collection privée actuelle, Ontario
Includes a Ming Dynasty Chinese gilt lacquer bronze figure of a Daoist guardian; a 20th Century Indian bronze figure of Vishnu’s consort Bhumi; a large Thai 20th Century bronze head; and two small Thai bronze heads from the 18th/19th Century and 16th Century respectively.
Initially based in Harbin in northeastern China during the first half of the 20th Century, the Gurevich family moved to Canada during the 1950's and opened the Gurie Gallery, a staple of Montreal’s trendy Sherbrooke street. The Gurie Gallery was one of the first to focus on Chinese ceramics, decorative arts and paintings, and was extremely popular to collectors in Montreal, Toronto and New York. The son, Alex Gurevich (1929-1990), took over the store during the 1960's and continued to source objects through frequent visits to Hong Kong.
