This year's Jiade Autumn Auction exhibition arranged a rare Guangzhou station, the time is two days today and tomorrow, because there are many ancient calligraphy and paintings collected by Xie Zhiliu Chen Peiqiu, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and naturally I went to see it for the first time.
Five Dynasties - Northern Song Dynasty, Guo Zhongshu (biography) "Summer Palace Map"
One of the special works of "Gao Hua Ge Jian Cun - Xie Zhiliu Chen Peiqiu And His Wife Commemorative Album", this special session has a total of 7 Song and Yuan works, and 5 pieces have come. This work was collected by Chen Peiqiu during the Republic of China, and after liberation, it was deposited in the Shanghai Museum and returned in the 1980s. Originally named "View of Xishan Lou" by a famous painter of the Song Dynasty, Xie Zhiliu later changed it to Guo Zhongshu. Guo Zhongshu was a master from the fifth dynasty to the early Northern Song Dynasty, known for his boundary paintings, and the more accurate works at present are the "Xueji River Travel Scroll" of the National Palace in Taipei, leaving only two large ships. In addition, the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art in Japan has "Ming Emperor Summer Palace Map", which has similarities with this work, all of which are magnificent pavilions, but the pen and ink are not the same.
The actual object of the work is actually very dull, there are many damages, it is difficult for the naked eye to see the picture clearly, and the distant view is indeed a Northern Song-style high-headed mountain, and the overall composition is a bit like a part of Yan Wengui's "Xishan Louguan", but the pavilion is too much. The pavilions in the painting are remarkable, very meticulous, and are the best in the boundary paintings. However, the mountain stone part is slightly inferior, and it is difficult to match Li Guo. The scale of this painting is huge, and it is said that in the Song Dynasty, it should be double spelled silk to do it, but it is difficult to identify the parts of the pieced silk, compared with the Mayuan piece silk of the same size in the same field.
Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Yuan (biography) "Panasonic Playing the Piano"
It is indeed very similar to Ma Yuan, the scale is very large, much larger than the "Song Shou Tu", and the characters do not feel particularly good when they open their faces.
Yuan, Wang Meng, "Boiling Tea Diagram"
This is not a special item of The High Flower Pavilion. In the newly published "Records of Wang Jiqian's Calligraphy and Paintings", Mr. Wang claims that it is a Wang Meng style that Shi Tao learned, and according to the brushwork in the painting, it is indeed very similar to Shi Tao, especially the dot moss. In my opinion, the most credible is the Forbidden City "Ge Zhichuan Migration Map" kind of Wang Meng, as well as the "Taibai Mountain Map", although dense, but the painting is very meticulous, "Boiling Tea Map" this kind of painting is a bit rough, but the cow hair is still very good, its pen and ink and Poly shot more than 400 million yuan of the version of the "Zhichuan Migration Map" ten years ago is the same category, since that piece can sell for 400 million, this piece should not be a problem.
Southern song dynasty? Anon. "Autumn Forest Shepherd Boy Diagram"
The leaves of this piece are probably xiao zhao, but the figures and sheep are not very well drawn. According to Chen Peiqiu's side trek, it is said that Fu Shen "opened the axis to call the Southern Song Dynasty", which is a bit of a mutual praise. This piece participated in the 2016 Long Museum's private collection of Song and Yuan calligraphy and painting exhibition, but it was seen in a hurry and did not leave an impression.
Yuan, Zhao Mengfu,"Bamboo Stone Diagram"
This piece is an impression, and also participated in the 2016 Dragon Art Museum's private collection of Song and Yuan calligraphy and painting exhibition, but this time I saw it again, I felt that it was not Zhao Zhen's pen, the bamboo was not well painted (not as good as Xia Chang in the same scene), one of the bird heads was painted particularly strangely, and Deng Wenyuan's characters did not seem to be true.
Yuan, Zhao Yong,"Cold Forest Diagram"
The style is unique, like Chen Laolian, did anyone in the Yuan Dynasty paint like this? If it is a money choice, it is reasonable, Zhao Yong seems to have not seen this style of painting, and the inscription is not good, Zhao Mengfu's son if the word is written like this, he is going to spank.
In addition to Wang Meng, all of the above were taken out by Chen Peiqiu's descendants, and there was another piece of Ma Yuan and a piece of Wang Tian who did not come to Guangzhou, regrettably.
Southern Song Dynasty, anon.
Along the way of Ma Xia, there is the Ming Dynasty Anguo Tibetan Seal.
Song, anon. "Dragonfly Poppy Diagram"
Dragonflies are well drawn and have a strong sense of transparency on their wings.
Yuan, anon. "Bamboo Bird Diagram"
This painting gave me a strange feeling, like it was painted by modern people, it was so new, and the earliest publication was only in 1929. It can be compared with the "Bamboo Stone Chicken and Bird Diagram" of Huang Banruo and Lu Zhenhuan imitating the Song people at the Guangzhou Art Museum.
Ming, Zhou Zhimian "Hundred Flowers Picture Scroll"
Guardian's key lot this time, because it is a thing written in "Shiqu Baodi", the price is certainly not low, but it is not particularly amazing in the Hundred Flowers Chart I have seen.
Qing, Wang Yuanqi,"Pinggang Qujian Tu"
Very good Wang Lutai, photographed in 2015.
Qing, Wang Yi, "Imitation of Ni Zhan Landscape"
Made at the age of 70.
Qing, Wang Shimin, "Imitation of The Great Idiot Brush Landscape"
In addition, the albums of Dong Qichang and Yun Shouping were all reproductions, so I did not read them.
Ming, Xia Chang,"Qingfeng Map of The Valley of Ridges"
Qing, Cha Shibiao", "Five Words and Poems of xingshu"
Qing, Jiang ShiJie "Autumn Rain Empty Mountain Map"
Even the words are learned quite like Ni Zhan.
Qing, Cha Shibiao "Cloud Mountain Map"
Qing, Hua Zhao, "Talking about Autumn Diagram"
Qing, Li Fangyi,"Book of Calligraphy and Painting"
A total of 12 open, just look at two open.
Ming, Zodiac Zhou "Book of Filial Piety"
A total of 18 open, only look at the beginning and end.
Qing, Hongsheng "Songgui Changchun Map"
This is another important lot of the "Stone Canal Baodi" bibliography. Other Chinese paintings and calligraphy are not read.
Tang, "Taihe Ding Wei" Phoenix-style guqin
Liao, bronze gilded Buddha statue
Wang Shixiang's old collection. Other utensils and porcelain are not looked at either.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Golden Suzang Sutra "The Great Prajnaparamita Sutra" volume 351
Claude Monet, The Water Lily Pond and the Rose, 1913
This time, Jiade Qiupai photographed several works of Western art masters in the local area for the first time, which can be regarded as the "rise of a great power" to some extent, after all, the last batch of "new money" that had money to buy Western art was still Japanese. This piece of Monet is large, it was made in the garden in his later years, and I estimate it will exceed 100 million.
Claude Monet, The Steps, 1878
This one was seen at Christie's in Hong Kong in autumn 2018.
Portrait of Paul Cézanne, 1866-1867
Camille Pissarro, Bazinkur Laundry Pool, 1884
Pablo Picasso, The Woman in the Hat, 1965
Probably because of Monet and Picasso, this tour is crowded, when I left the scene in the afternoon, I saw a long queue downstairs, all turned to the K11 door, which shows how difficult it is for Guangzhou people to see these master works. As far as the Song and Yuan calligraphy and paintings are concerned, Guangzhou's cultural institutions rarely have such a collection, so this should be the only opportunity to see ancient calligraphy and paintings in Guangzhou in a year, I call it "New Year" is actually not an exaggeration, tomorrow there is a day to see, if you want to go, please go as soon as possible. Of course, friends in Beijing can wait for the preview before the official auction.
