Gallery Tour and Lecture at New York HK Auctions
CAAA, and the Cornell Club-NY, co-sponsored a standing-room-only event on Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Sixty people braved the heat, to visit the New York HK Auctions Gallery. They got a tour the showrooms; and a lecture from owner, Kwong Lum. The subject of a recent four-part series by China Central Television, Mr. Lum is one of the world's foremost experts on Asian Art. In fact, a new art museum is being built in China to house some of his collection. Mr. Lum brought priceless pieces from his collection to the podium, and showed us why they are priceless: the techniques; colors; glazing; imperial markings; etc.
Mr. Lum, and four other members of his staff, circulated among both showrooms before and after the lecture. They made sure to answer personally all questions. Attendees were thrilled by items ranging from pre-dynastic jade pieces circa 6500 B.C., to paintings from modern, post-Mao China. Whether Shang Dynasty Bronzes from 1500 BC, or personal items, from several Emperors and Sun Yat Sen, were asked about by the guests, Mr. Lum and his staff were able to put each item into historic and artistic context; and explain the estimated value of each piece.
Guests were the first to be told about the CAAA 20th annual banquet on Sat., Jan. 22, 2011. Several people signed up for the mailing list, just to get more information on the dinner. The Cornell Club-NY supplied drinks, a bartender, and snacks. The Hong Kong gallery also had sandwiches waiting for us.
The Cornell Club-NY, CAAA, and Mr. Lum were all thrilled by the number of guests on a hot August day; and their high engagement level with the subject matter. Mr. Lum would welcome a return engagement; and wants to know what we'd like to hear about next. Would we like an art discussion about a particular dynasty; or would we prefer to concentrate on a particular art form such as: jade; porcelain; bronze; or ink? Please email us, and let us know what you think.

In China, porcelain enjoys a long history, which could be considered as a representative symbol of Chinese traditional culture. In the history of Chinese porcelain, the porcelain wares from the Ming and Qing Dynasties royal kilns can be classified as the most valuable and classic examples of porcelain art in the entire world. In the past, porcelain wares from loyal kilns were owned by the imperial family; later, those porcelain wares became the dream want of every famous antique collector in history. When it comes to recent art market, once Chinese porcelain wares from loyal kilns appear at auction, not only the domestic and foreign individual collectors purchase them, but also a large variety of international institutions and consortia would flock to compete.
Mr. Kwong Lum (Lin Ji-guang) , a legendary art collector, who is also a New York-based Chinese-American artist, calligrapher, poet, art and literary critic, and connoisseur of classical Chinese art, gave a comprehensive lecture at China Institute to the public to help them implement their understanding of Chinese porcelain wares. In the lecture, Mr. Lum firstly illustrated the main characteristics of Chinese porcelain wares from loyal kilns and interpreted their popularity at auction recently. In addition, he introduced the most distinguishing processes of technical innovation the loyal kilns had gone through in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including the skills of pot making, firing techniques and glaze making. Lastly, he highlighted several practical knacks for amateurs to teach them how they could quickly and effectively identify the counterfeit and the genuine among the Ming and Qing porcelain wares.
