FROM A DISTINGUISHED PRIVATE EUROPEAN COLLECTOR
The collection was lovingly amassed in
a relatively short time, between 1956
and 1959. The collectors, who were
diplomats stationed in Beijing, recall
fondly their nearly daily trips to antique
markets and dealers in Beijing, which led
to a long-lasting and reliable cooperation.
The collectors, who were drawn by
every aspect of Chinese culture, spent
all their free time learning about China,
collecting art and also learning to paint
in Chinese tradition.
