PROVENANCE
Alex Gurevich, Montréal, acquis principalement à Hong Kong dans les années 1960
Par filiation à la collection privée actuelle, Ontario
Of large proportions the Buddhist deity of compassion wearing long flowing robes, the right hand holding a scroll, the other covered by her sleeve, the face with downcast eyes and a gentle expression, at her side is a small fu-lion.
Initially based in Harbin in northeastern China during the first half of the 20th Century, the Gurevich family moved to Canada during the 1950s 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 1960s and continued to source objects through frequent visits to Hong Kong.
