On March 11-12, China Guardian will hold its first auction of the year, the Seasons Auction No.1, at the Beijing International Hotel. It will include 2500 items of painting, calligraphy, and porcelain. The preview for this auction will be held on March 9-10 at the same venue.

The Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy Auction includes some 1800 items by 850 artists, divided into three groups, “Modern Chinese Calligraphy and Painting,” “Contemporary Ink Painting,” and “Classical Painting and Calligraphy.”  Several artists of note are included in the modern sale. A group titled “The Style of the Pu Clan” brings together over fifty exquisite works by Pu Ru, Pu Zuo, Pu Quan, Pu Jin, Pu Xian and Pu Jie, each with the characteristic flavor of this family of painters, which is easily recognizable at first glance. A gathering of works by “The Lingnan Group” includes Gao Jianfu, Zhao Shaoang and Li Xiongcai. Another grouping of artists, titled, “Delights in Ink” brings together excellent works by four deeply refined ink painters, Qian Shoutie, Ding Yanyong, Xie Zhiguang, and Chen Zizhuang. “Liu Haisu and Zhu Qizhan” combines two artists whose efforts to blend western painting with Chinese ink painting were highly influential.  Furthermore, a group of 20 republican-era works from the “Jie Xiang Lou” collection of the famous oil painter Fang Junbi and his wife are being offered at auction.

The Contemporary Painting and Calligraphy Auction includes 300 pieces, among which are numerous works by artists such as Shi Qi, Wang Mingming, Lin Yong, Fang Chuxiong and Xu Xi.

The Classical Painting and Calligraphy market has begun to heat up of late, and riding that momentum, we are offering 600 pieces this auction.  The most eye-catching of these pieces come from the “Xuan Hui Tang” collection, which concentrates on hand scrolls and album leaves. For example, a Dong Qichang calligraphy album of seven leaves on gold-flecked paper, a hand scroll by Wang Yuanqi in imitation of Cao Yunxi’s “Fishing Along on a Wintry River,” Shao Er’s hanging scroll, “Landscape in the style of Ni Zan,” and four mounted leaves of Bada Shanren’s calligraphy. Other excellent works such as figure paintings by Luo Pin and “Bird on a Branch” by Bada Shanren are also for sale.

The Porcelain and Works of Art Auction has 700 pieces to offer, including a stand out Ming dynasty Jiaqing period blue and white imperial ware jar with a “Si Ai” or “Four Affections” theme.  The clear and brilliant color, along with the exquisite painting distinguish as being Jiaqing era blue and white.  The four sides of this jar have been decorated with the “Four Affections”: “The Exhaling Crane,” “Deep and Clear Chrysanthemum,” “Rich Uncle Lotus,” and “Vast and Firm Plum.” This design began in Yuan dynasty blue and white wares, and is often meant to convey the leisurely feeling of a classical scholar’s pavilion tucked away in the forests. Also for sale is a large blue and white jar decorated with a group of immortals among eternal mountains and abundant seas, Ming dynasty, 15th C.  The jar has six partitions, the brush work is deep and steady, and it possesses the special features of the early 15th c. transitional period that saw a development from a bold and unrestrained styles to a lighter, more precise style. This is rarely seen in large jars of early to middle Ming folk kilns. Especially rare and wonderful is the “eternal mountains and abundant seas” design on the rounded and inward-leaning foot, which carries the characters for “abundance” and “longevity” in the peaks of the waves; normally large blue and white jars are adorned solely with the wave designs.

In the Works of Art Auction, a highly desirable piece is the zitan “kang” bed with dragon designs from the Qing dynasty, Longquan era. The fastidious workmanship and pure materials, as well as the lack of any repair work make this a rare and fine piece. So fine in fact that it was in the old collection of the republican-era collector Guan Zuzhang.
