FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION
東岸私人收藏 (LOTS 77-88)
This collection began with the establishment
of the L&F Gallery in Hong Kong in the early
1980s. This gallery sold the paintings of many
contemporary artists of the day and provided
the owners with opportunities to meet many
of them. At the end of the decade, the gallery
was closed and the owner of these paintings
moved to the United States. As in classical
times, he enjoyed his collection of paintings
and calligraphy in his leisure time away from
his medical career.
此收藏始於L&F畫廊於香港立成之
時。L&F畫廊出售藝術家的畫作，並且提
供給畫廊主人結識其中一部分畫家的機
會。1980年代末期，畫廊關閉，畫廊主人也
移居美國。他仍舊保持著在休閒時間，欣
賞私藏的畫作與書法作品，陶冶情操，作
為從醫學事業中的暫歇小憩。

王子武 鍾馗 設色紙本 立軸
一九八六年作
題識：鍾馗大師乃唐終南秀才，字正南。
豹頭環眼，鐵面虯鬚，外貌不足而内才有
餘。且生性正直，不畏邪祟。其時德宗登
基，年當大比，馗別親應試，為貢生之
首。德宗殿試傳臚，觀馗容而不悅，兼有
奸相，討悔，馗大怒，擧笏便打，繼而
自刎。張贄不平，以理奏明德宗，方回過
味來。遂發配盧犯於嶺外。知鍾馗為驅魔
大神，遍行天下，斬妖除邪。丙寅（1986
年）大年初，子武畫於鵬城之城下廟無
冬書屋。
鈐印：王子武印
