<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="color:black">It is with great pleasure to present to you our latest netsuke catalogue, the second of this year, after a long break from our involvement in the netsuke world. As some of you may know Galerie Zacke was very active in the 1980s-1990s and our archive shows some of the very best netsuke sold during this time, like an example of a magnificent dutchman which sold for a record of three million Austrian schillings. The archive will be opened again and will be fully searchable next year. </span></span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="color:black">Since those times the netsuke art market has changed and is looking to change even more in the coming years, due to increasingly tighter regulations of the ivory trade. One thing that has not changed though, is the appreciation of netsuke as an important Japanese art form, that our Galerie, now celebrating its 50<sup>th</sup> year, enthusiastically shares. Coming back to regulations of the ivory trade, there is no doubt that illegal trade must be undermined, however important historical and cultural artefacts, such as the ivory netsuke in this catalogue should remain legal to distribute amongst collectors around the world. Luckily this is still the case, but is a purposefully painstaking process, that most auction houses will simply not touch. We have gone through the process of importing 50 ivory netsuke from the Sam Felton collection from Florida in the past year.</span></span></p>

<p><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="color:black">The Sam Felton collection </span></span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="color:black">is noted in the catalogue under the provenance with the CITES permit number, which will certainly prove invaluable, if any of the netsuke will be re-exported outside of the European Union. When I first handled the netsuke on my visit to Naples, Florida roughly one year ago I was immediately taken aback by the stack of cue cards and invoices that have been precisely recorded by Mr. Felton. Each netsuke had a tidily written cue card with photographs and explanation of the signature/depiction including references and publication. Furthermore, the netsuke themselves were not only all very good netsuke, but they told a story. Studying the netsuke and the cue cards, indeed was like reliving the process of collecting myself and could at times provide an intimate insight into the collection. If I would be asked to summarize this collection in a sentence, I would say he had a progressive and modern view on netsuke and was not afraid of signatures, as unfortunately so many of us are. Fifty pieces in this catalogue come from this collection.</span></span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="color:black">The remaining netsuke in this catalogue come from various private collections, a large part is interestingly from a British collection, and they complement the Sam Felton collection so well, that we have decided not to separate them. Instead we have chosen to present to you a story – a glimpse into the netsuke world Galerie Zacke - VIENNA
