PROVENANCE
Acquired in Hong Kong between 1949-1970s and thence by
descent within the family
The Rende Zhai Collection was assembled between 1949-
1970s in Hong Kong by Dr. Olaf K. Skinsnes (1917-1997), who
was born in Henan in 1917 to medical missionaries. He had a
distinguished career as a medical doctor and a professor at
the Universities of Hong Kong, Chicago, Hawaii, and the Sun
Yat Sen University of Medical Sciences in Guangzhou. His
wife, Elizabeth Anderson Skinsnes, shared his love of Chinese
art and culture, and they viewed the collection as a teaching
instrument to spread the richness of Chinese culture and
history through art. Dr. and Mrs. Skinsnes lived much of their
life in China, and in 1992, the Chinese government awarded
Dr. Skinsnes the Friendship Medal in recognition of his
contributions.
