Paul Singer (1904–1997), Summit, New Jersey, from at least 1965 [1]
From 1997
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, bequeathed by Paul Singer [2]
Notes:
[1] The object was included in an exhibition of Paul Singer’s collection and its accompanying catalogue compiled by Max Loehr, Relics of Ancient China, from the Collection of Dr. Paul Singer (New York: Asia Society, 1965), no. 34. The collection of Chinese art and antiquities assembled by Paul Singer over time was purchased by him on behalf of Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, The Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, the AMS Foundation for the Arts, Sciences and Humanities, and later transferred to the children of Dr. Arthur M. Sackler.
[2] Upon Paul Singer’s death in January 1997, his collection was transferred to the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery by order of the Executors of the Estate under a loan agreement signed on February 1997. Shortly thereafter, the Sackler Gallery was vested with full ownership and title to the collection in full agreement by the Sackler Foundations and Sackler family members. The formal accession of the Singer collection was completed in 2012.
