LU ZISHU (1900-1978)
CHINESE PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY FROM THE DR. S. Y. YIP COLLECTION (LOTS 1218-1231)Renowned Hong Kong collector Dr. S. Y. Yip began collecting in 1969 under the guidance of his fifth uncle Mr. H. G. Yip and Mr. C. T. Chiu. Through his affiliation with the Min Chiu Society and his acquaintance with Mr. Low Chuck Tiew (1911-1993), owner of the Xubaizhai, Dr. Yip further acquired paintings and expanded his collection. Amongst his friends of collectors and connoisseurs, Dr. Yip has the fondest memories of the late Mr. Liu Jiu’an (1915-1999), a member of the State Committee on Authentication at the Palace Museum of Beijing, whom he treated as mentor and a bosom friend. Thanks to this relationship Dr. Yip further acquired Children at Play by Wang Su (Lot 943) and Drinking Cards with Illustrations of Daoist Immortals by Ren Xiong (Lot 940) amongst other great works of Classical paintings. The Drinking Cards with Illustrations of Daoist Immortals is particularly rare and precious in terms of its stance in the history of Chinese woodblock prints. Christie’s is honoured to be entrusted by Dr. S.Y. Yip to present his collection of Chinese paintings and calligraphy. Of the collection 12 works will be offered in the current sale, highlights including The Album of Jin Xi An by Ju Chao and Ju Lian (Lot 1225) and the calligraphy couplet by Kang Youwei (Lot 1231). Twenty-six classical works will be offered in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction on 25 November 2019 (Lots 927-952). While Dr. Yip has later shifted his collection towards Ming furniture, his passion and quest for the knowledge in Chinese painting and calligraphy continues, making him a very serious and highly respected collector.
