James D. Julia, Inc. is extremely proud to present
e Personal Collection of Dr. HelgaWall-Apelt
March 23, 2015 in Faireld, Maine
Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt’s Asian Collection was approximately 60 years in the making. She is the daughter of a former
prominent German physician and she together with her father escaped the Holocaust during World War II. After
this traumatic experience, Dr.Wall-Apelt found great solace in the practice of meditation and his involvement in the
Asian culture. His admiration, love and passion for the culture and their artistic items transmitted to his daughter,
who while in medical school, began collecting Asian items. Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt eventually visited China to expand
her knowledge in the art of acupuncture and ancient herbal treatments. For many years after she had a very successful
practice utilizing Chinese healing techniques. In 1993, she moved to Sarasota, Florida and opened the Center
for Traditional Chinese Medicines. Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt now spends the majority of her time in New York City
and recently has made the very di‹cult decision to dispose of her vast collection that has meant so much to her
throughout her life.
