The Douglas Latchford article I posted yesterday mentioned a sale of the Kreiling collection of Khmer

Khmer Art Sold at Sotheby's in 1988:
The Douglas Latchford article I posted yesterday mentioned a sale of the Kreiling collection of Khmer art at Sotheby's in 1989. In fact, it was in November 1988 that Sotheby’s in London, as part of an auction of Khmer, Thai, Indian & Himalayan Art, sold off Khmer antiquities that belonged to collector Randall Kreiling. I tracked down the Sotheby’s catalogue for that sale online and though Kreiling is not mentioned by name, some of the pieces at the auction ended up in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. They were bought by another wealthy collector, Enid Annenberg Haupt, who donated them to the museum. I’d love to get a copy of the Sotheby’s catalogue but until I do, here are a few pictures from the pages of the brochure showing some of the Khmer artworks up for sale. The cover image of the five-headed Shiva and the Divine Sage Agastya were in the Kreiling collection (and are now at The Met), while Douglas Latchford’s fingerprints are all over the Rup Arak Vishnu, and the Baphuon Uma, which he sold to the Lindemann family and which was repatriated to Cambodia in July 2024, and is on display at the National Museum.Credit By:andy.brouwer
