A QINGBAI MOULDED EWER AND A COVER SONG DYNASTY | 宋 青白釉印花帶蓋執壺

Collection of Peter and Nancy Thompson.

Peter 及 Nancy Thompson 伉儷收藏

The 'Art of Tomorrow' CollectionWith a combination of works by Asian and Western blue-chip artists as well as emerging local talents, the Chu Foundation, founded by Hong Kong-based art patrons Natalie and Lawrence Chu, represents a distinct perspective from Hong Kong where the Chu family is rooted. Its diversity in expression reflects Natalie and Lawrence’s belief that art can spark innovation and enrich lives.

In addition to modern and contemporary works of art, the Chus, by virtue of their interests in earlier technological advances, are also passionate about Song dynasty ceramics, of which the production was undeniably unparalleled by contemporaneous global standards. The diversity in Song dynasty ceramics is also congruous with their eclectic sensibilities. The selection of ten Song - Ming dynasty ceramics offered in this sale include examples from the Northern and Southern kilns. Comparable to the sherds found in the archaeological sites on the Silk Road, the lots on offer serve as a window into the prosperous trade and cultural exchange in which they are steeped.

藝創明天

諸氏珍藏, 譽婷堂, 不但囊括東西方頂級藝術家佳作，亦涵蓋本地新起之秀的作品。多元化的收藏充分反映扎根香港的諸氏伉儷眼光獨到，並體現他們深信藝術能啟迪創作潛能及豐富人生的重要理念。

除了現當代藝術作品，諸氏亦對宋代陶瓷深感喜愛，其原因在於他們傾慕於探尋古代頂尖科技的發展，而宋代陶瓷無容置疑地是當時世界高端的科技產品。而宋瓷的多元化特質亦恰與藏家著重多元文化相合。是次諸氏共精選十件其鍾愛的宋至明瓷器，當中包括南北窰口，且部分藏品於海上絲路遺址皆可發現相關器物的碎片，冀能撫今追昔，重現中外各國貿易交往的歷史。
