Property of an American collector

Lot 815 & 875 come from the private collection of an American businessman and philanthropist. He became interested in Chinese paintings while traveling to Hong Kong between the 1960-80s. During this time, he came to know several important artists, such as Lin Fengmian and Luis Chan, and actively supported their work. The collector was also instrumental in charitable projects devoted to helping children.
