| Ming and Qing Chinese Arts from the C. P. Lin Collection Post-war Hong Kong was fortunate to become a repository for important antiques within the South China region. From 1949, prominent collectors from mainland China moved to Hong Kong with a dazzling number of Chinese antiques, giving rise to a rare opportunity for collecting exquisite artworks. Veteran local collector Mr Peter C. P. Lin had pursued his studies in the United Kingdom during his early years, and was influenced there by the trend for collecting Chinese antiques, cultivating in him a passion for collecting. Lin refers to it as "bonds between people" and "bonds between objects", which are indeed the maxim of a dedicated art collector. This exhibition showcases 270 Ming and Qing dynasty artworks from the C. P. Lin Collection, featuring precious objects made exclusively for the imperial court - exquisite porcelains, rare jades, intricately carved rhinoceros horns, ivories and bamboo objets d'art, iridescent painted enamels and glass. Through the materials, colours, craftsmanship, forms, and images of Chinese antiquities, the exhibition focuses on historical Chinese artistic pursuits, drawing viewers to a feast of beauty, and demonstrating a perfect coherence of craftsmanship and aesthetics reflecting the splendour of China. |
