The Passionate Connoisseur

阿ḓ文g弗里德曼 基恩醫生珍藏

(Lots 1171–1178)

r. Alvin Friedman-Kien’s deep passion for collecting began as a small child, and
continues without abatement today. Starting with marbles, stamps, and then Oriental
Dcarpets (he still has the beloved Tekke Bokhar rug he bought at age 11 from a Salvation
Army shop), the breadth of his collecting vision today spans statuary, objects and textiles
of ancient civilizations to modern and contemporary fine and decorative arts, and virtually
everything in between. A visit to see his collection is an experience in the interconnected
timelessness of form and beauty - seamlessly and confidently interwoven into a holistic tableau.
A distinguished virologist and dermatologist and longtime patron of the arts, Dr. Friedman-Kien’s
always-present curiosity and razor sharp eye laid the groundwork for the cultivation of deep
relationships and friendships with a wide and international swath of dealers, artists and curators.
His love of Folk Art culminated in a single-owner 2007 Christie’s auction that raised $2.3
million for his foundation. Guided by his long friendship with the Pacific Northwest artist Morris 1172
Graves, Friedman-Kien immersed himself into studying and collecting Asian art - particularly
Japanese and Chinese furniture, painting, sculpture and ceramics. “The pleasure of collecting Property from the Collection of Dr. Alvin Friedman-Kien
and living with great art and objects is a highly satisfactory experience, it enriches our lives and 1171
appreciation of the creative spirit not only of the artist but of the viewer as well.”
