With a spotlight on Vietnamese art, the auction also features more than 100 Japanese prints in the Ukiyo-e style
Fine Wind, Clear Weather from the series of 36 views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai at Dublin Castle, which has one of the world’s most famous collections of Asian art, few people in Ireland know a lot about Asian art.
This topic was chosen to coincide with the sale of the Vietnamese 19th century ceremonial imperial sword for €100,000-€200,000 at auction. Owned by Emperor Minh Mang, the second ruler in the Nguyễn Dynasty, Wang says this “supreme royal symbol” has already attracted a lot of interest from Chinese and Vietnamese experts during viewing of the items in Paris, before the Dublin viewing next weekend.
These Ukiyo-e prints influenced many early French impressionists , post-impressionists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Art Nouveau artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
