Including Items from the Following Collections:
Property from the Estate of the Late Walter Hochstadter (1914 – 2007)
Walter Hochstadter was born in the city of Augsburg, Germany and after a long life spent travelling across the globe, passed away in 2007 in Adelaide, Australia. In his early twenties, Mr. Hochstadter journeyed to China, where he studied at the College of Chinese Studies in Beijing beginning in the summer of 1935. While in China, he visited kiln sites and pottery centres, beginning his life-long interest in Chinese ceramics, while also initiating his career as an art dealer. In 1938 he established an address in New York, which he maintained for decades. This home served primarily as a base from where he travelled widely and frequently throughout Asia and Europe until his late eighties. During World War II, he primarily commuted between Hong Kong and the United States. After China was liberated, he returned permanently to Hong Kong where he resided until he retired to Adelaide in 1997.
He was well known among connoisseurs, scholars and collectors of Chinese art. Among his clients to whom he sold ceramics, bronze vessels, jades and paintings included Avery Brundage, C.C. Wang, Senator Theodore Francis Green, Eli Lilly, J.T. Tai and Richard Hobart. He also sold art to such institutions as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Toledo Museum of Art, and Freer Gallery, Cleveland Museum of Art and the Nelson-Atkins Museum. He also donated especially interesting objects to the Yale Art Gallery, the Harvard Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Palace Museum, Taipei and the University of Hong Kong, where he was named an Honorary Fellow in the late 1950’s.
His dedication to the study of Chinese art resulted in the authorship of several highly regarded scholarly texts including Early Chinese Ceramics in the Buffalo Museum of Science (1946); ‘Pottery and Stonewares of Shang, Chou and Han” (BMFEA, No.24, 1952); and ‘The Real Shen Chou’ (Journal of Oriental Studies, 1959/60)
