34-35 New Bond Street, W1A 2AA HOTUNG | 何東 The Personal Collection of the late Sir Joseph Hotung | Part II: Day
Mon-Fri 10am-5pm
The late Sir Joseph Hotung (1930-2021) was respected and revered in the art world for both his outstanding jade collection and his philanthropy. He embarked on a lifelong collector’s journey following the chance purchase of a pair of Qing dynasty jade bowls in the late 1970s. In the following decades, with passion and perseverance, he managed to assemble a large family of artworks from different periods and places, including a wide array of Western paintings and an exceptional ensemble of Chinese masterworks, demonstrating not only his eclectic interests but also his discerning taste.
何鴻卿爵士（1930-2021年）藏玉享負盛名，生平廣施行善，在藝術界德高望重。七十年代末，一次偶然的機遇讓他購入一對清代玉盌，自此開展了悠長的收藏旅程。爾後數十載，他憑藉熱誠與堅持，集蒐有成，所納珍藏橫跨不同年代與地域，從西方繪畫到中國雅器，盡顯何氏涉獵之廣、品味之高。
