Mrs.Wong Pao Pui Li

Mr. Edwin I-Li Wong (1932-2009) was
a successful entrepreneur and a lifelong
supporter of the arts. Originally from
Shanghai, Mr. Wong had a particularly
keen eye and fondness for early 20th
century painters from the regions of
Shanghai and Jiangsu Province. He was
an avid collector starting from the 1960s
and was an accomplished calligrapher by
his own right. Some of the collection
was acquired directly from the artists
during his travels to China with his wife
Mrs. Wong Pao Pui Li (born 1944), an
acclaimed soprano and beloved voice
teacher.

Four Chinese classical paintings and
calligraphy will be sold in our saleroom
on 30 November 2015 (Lots 984-987).
