Description
Fine Chinese Paintings Formerly in the Collection of Mingzhai 南洋明齋舊藏古代及近現代中國書畫 Lots 801-839 楊作明（1925-1984），廣東潮州澄海人，後移居馬來西亞從商。雖是僑胞身份，卻對中國書畫十分著迷，自行鑽研書畫收藏。約六十年代末期，經由楊之光先生推薦而個別造訪北京榮寶齋、天津藝苑及上海畫苑等地，收購許多該地區著名書畫家之作。據藏家後人講述，家中與楊之光弟子單伯欽先生亦有深交，其中兩件帶其上款的作品分別為關良〈武劇人物〉（拍賣編號826）及關山月〈灕江山水〉（拍賣編號827）。因南洋地區專業裝裱行當較不風行，楊先生還曾特地在香港逗留多時，就教於裝池能手，返家後自行裱畫，其專注與投入，絕非一般收藏家可與比肩。

Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy In Running Script by Shen Zengzhi was worth HKD 384,000.00 (€ 44,870.33) to a buyer in June this year. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shen Zengzhi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poem In Xingshu, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 1,500,000.00 (€ 173,356.03).
