Lempertz Asian Art Auction to Offer 58 Works from Astamangala Gallery on June 13
On April 6, 2026, Lempertz announced its Asian art auction featuring works from the 7th to the 20th century. The sale includes the first part of the Astamangala Gallery collection from Amsterdam, with 58 items to be offered on June 13. Highlights comprise a pair of Tibetan silk brocade temple hangings estimated at €20,000 to €25,000, a pair of Tang Dynasty terracotta Lokapala figures estimated at €80,000 to €100,000, and a Song Dynasty jade pendant estimated at €15,000 to €20,000. Additional lots include an imperial Ming dragon bowl estimated at €10,000 to €15,000 and a 1964 calligraphy work by Morita Shiryū estimated at €15,000 to €20,000.
The Signal
The dispersal of the Astamangala Gallery holdings signals renewed collector interest in Himalayan material assembled through decades of direct sourcing. Offerings from the Ernst Arthur Voretzsch collection demonstrate sustained demand for authenticated archaic Chinese objects at the mid-five-figure level. The inclusion of rare netsuke and modern Japanese calligraphy broadens the sale’s appeal to both traditional and postwar Asian art buyers seeking documented provenance.
