AN IMPORTANT SINGAPOREAN AND
SYDNEY COLLECTION OF CHINESE
PAINTINGS
一重要新加坡及悉尼私人收藏的中國書畫
Lots 1 to 28
Following a highly successful sale of works from this important
private collection in Sydney last October, we are delighted to offer
further works from the family. Carefully assembled primarily during the
1960s from artists and collectors across Hong Kong and London,
this collection is a testament to the friendship between artists and
patrons, the intellectual exchange amongst a literati and aristocratic
cohort, and the respect and yearning for traditional Chinese art by
the Chinese diaspora. The collection accompanied its late owner to
different corners of the world until he finally settled in Singapore where
he remained for almost half a century. Being an extremely private man,
the collector never showed any of the works publicly, only occasionally
presenting a piece or two to family members and close friends.
In offering the collection, the family hopes that the viewer can
appreciate the love and care that was taken in assembling the works.
The family is pleased that this collection of Chinese paintings is now
finally being shared in its entirety.
幫漢斯悉尼分部去年推出該新加坡及悉尼的書畫收藏，獲得空前成
功。承去年的優異成績，我行再度推出該收藏中近三十件作品。此輯
書畫，是藏家上世紀六十年代於香港及倫敦悉心篩選，傾囊而擲的結
晶。它不僅見證了畫家及藏家之間的友誼，知識分子及社會精英之
間的思想交流，更清顯了戰後海外華人對傳統中國文化同有的懷舊及
渴望。丹青翰墨，幾經輾轉，最終跟隨藏家留駐新加坡。藏家極然內
斂，近半個世紀來從未向任何人展示該收藏全貌，只是極其偶然興至
向家人摯友呈現一二。斯人仙逝，家屬希望通過此次拍賣與廣大同好
同享先父的畢生嗜好。
