拍品資料及來源

不言堂珍藏十一面觀世音菩薩立像,高挑纖瘦,姿態優雅,盡展唐風美感,與中國雕塑藝術之高度成熟。菩薩腰枝柔擺,宛若舞蹈姿態,此腰臀體態之造像風格,盛行於唐玄宗年間。比較舊金山亞洲藝術館藏一件唐代立像,蓮座富麗,尺寸較大,錄於《海外遺珍.佛像》,卷2,台北,1990年,圖版119。

現存唐代銅造像,少見如此細膩精巧,且保存完整者,菩薩飄帶尤其脆弱,多見斷失,如紐約蘇富比售出一像,2004年9月22日,編號7。

紐約大都會博物館藏一件鎏金銅觀音立像,姿勢與此像略異,載於《海外遺珍.佛像》,前述出處,圖版117,同錄一件舊金山亞洲藝術館藏小型觀音像,圖版118;亦比較台北國立故宮博物院藏一例,載於《歷代金銅佛造像特展圖錄》,台北,1996年,編號8。
