Public Talk Series for “The Connoisseurship and Collection of the Master of Chih Lo Lou”: Untold Stories of Collecting in Hong Kong

The talk was conducted by Mr Hui Lai-ping.
The speaker will share collecting stories in Hong Kong from the end of the 1920s through the 1960s, drawing upon letters, intelligence, diaries, newspapers pertaining to the trade of Chinese paintings and calligraphies that he has collected over the years, as well as first-hand knowledge and observations he gained over decades in the collectors’ circles. Beginning with the establishment of the Chih Lo Lou Collection, the speaker will reveal little-known anecdotes, including the return of relics that had been stranded in Hong Kong, the secret acquisition team set up by the Chinese Communist Party, its members and senior leadership, their targets, and how these people were vying to acquire artefacts. This engaging talk will be the first time many of these stories are revealed to the public.
