Description
I Gusti Nyoman Lempad (Taman, Ubud, ca. 1862-1978)
Sang Hyang Dedari dan Sang Hyang Jaran: Dance of the Heavenly Nymphs and Dance of the Horse
Wash technique on paper, framed and glazed.
27.5 x 37 cm.
Lempad is indisputably the greatest artist of the modern Balinese age. Around 1900 he came to Ubud and left there an important legacy as undagi (architect) and sculptor. It is his work on paper that earned Lempad the largest part of his current reputation. Originally working in the traditional wayang style, Lempad's art evolved towards an increased stylisation with a remarkable 'clarity of line'. Although Lempad was the first teacher of the academy at Ubud, his very individual style never found any followers. Lempad was one of the co-founders of Pits Maha.
Inscribed by Rudolf Bonnet on the reverse: 'Sang Jaran en S. H. Dedari'. The subject is about trance performers dancing over burning coal. A giant woman, possibly a female Barang Landung or a temple priest, holds a holy-water beaker made of a hollowed-out coconut.

Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2001 Christies in Singapore held the auction PRE-WAR BALINESE MODERNISTS: 1928-1942, which included the work Sang Hyang Dedari dan Sang Hyang Jaran: Dance of the Heavenly Nymphs and Dance of the Horse by I Gusti Nyoman Sudara Lempad. The price achieved of SGD 7,050.00 (€ 4,384.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as SGD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by I Gusti Nyoman Sudara Lempad have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ramayana Story in April 2015 with an auction result of HKD 200,000.00 (€ 23,114.14).
