Kampuchea Chef To wrap-up the auction sales from the two-day auction of Asian Wednesday, April 19, 2023
Khmer Art Overseas:
To wrap-up the auction sales from the two-day auction of Asian art by Bonhams and Cornette de Saint Cyr in Paris last October, these are the remaining stone and bronze Khmer artifacts that came under the gavel, for a private collection sale that raised a total of €14.5 million. The items were all from the prestigious private collection of Robert and Jean-Pierre Rousset. The collection was begun in the 1920s by Robert Rousset, who was responsible for the high-profile gallery Compagnie de la Chine et des Indes in Paris, which was subsequently run by three generations of the Rousset family until 2021. Many of the Khmer items were bought from galleries in Bangkok, Thailand in the 1960-70s, when looting of temples across the border in Cambodia was becoming a popular past-time for thieves on the payroll of people like Douglas Latchford. Interestingly, a few of the items were acquired from Robert Dalet's collection, who was an archaeologist, photographer and explorer working in Cambodia for EFEO between the 1930-1950s. Each of the 25 pieces has the sale price in their description.
