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。

This artwork by Zhao Shuru achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in June this year. In the Fine Chinese Paintings auction, the work Two Geese By The Spring River sold for HKD 179,200.00 (€ 20,939.49) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhao Shuru - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cranes At Sunrise, which sold at auction in October 2018 for HKD 475,000.00 (€ 53,485.70).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhao Shuru erzielte im Juni diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings wurde die Arbeit Two Geese By The Spring River für HKD 179.200,00 (€ 20.939,49) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 80.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhao Shuru mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cranes At Sunrise beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für HKD 475.000,00 (€ 53.485,70) versteigert wurde.
