LEVI夫妻珍藏
Ryda Hecht Levi (1915-2008), a native of Baltimore, Maryland,
along with her husband Robert, was an active and generous
philanthropist and art collector. While Western 20th century
art was their primary area of collecting activity, Mrs. Levi
was also drawn to Asian art, particularly classical and
contemporary Chinese paintings with bold lines and strong
visual impact.
Ryda Hecht Levi （1915-2008）與她的丈夫Robert都是土生土長於
馬里蘭州巴爾地摩市。她是一位活躍且慷慨的慈善家，也是一位藝
術品收藏家。二十世紀西方藝術品是他們收藏的主要領域。Levi女
士同時也被亞洲藝術吸引，特別是有大膽的綫條以及強烈的視覺衝
擊的古典與當代中國國畫。
