FROM AN IMPORTANT OVERSEAS CHINESE COLLECTION (LOTS 1442-1451)This selection of rare and important works by Zhang Daqian come from passionate collectors who, over the course of more than 30 years, sought to select exceptional works of each subject matter by the artist, whilst covering his whole artistic period, from early gongbi works to late splashed-ink compositions, calligraphic pieces to figures, lotus and landscapes. Notably, Imitating Birds and Bamboo by Emperor Hui-tsun, and Lofty Scholar by Lush Trees were featured in the National Museum of History’s publication The Paintings and Calligraphy of Chang Dai-chien, as well as Fu Shen’s prominent The World of Chang Dai-chien, together with Strolling Alone in Autumn Hills and Lofty Scholars Boating. As a reflection of their rarity and importance, Fu Shen also wrote a letter of authenticity for five of these works, including a commentary describing in detail the allure of each piece.
