クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「We are honoured to present a unique and extremely rare goldfish painting by Sanyu, to be offered in a dedicated single-lot evening sale on 2 December in Hong Kong.⠀ .⠀ Depicting eight goldfish – a symbol of luck and prosperity in Chinese culture – this painting is the first and only work by Sanyu to depict goldfish as the central subject of the composition, making it entirely unique in the context of the artist's oeuvre.⠀ .⠀ Sanyu only created 11 oil paintings in his lifetime that include the subject of fish. Among them, 'Goldfish' is the only work that presents the fish in a still-life format, with the cylindrical fish bowl resting upon a tabletop decorated with auspicious symbols.⠀ .⠀ Painted during the 1930s–1940s, 'Goldfish' is a magnificent example of Sanyu's avant-garde vision. His simple but refined use of colour and tactical spatial handling reflect his understanding and exploration of modern Western art, while simultaneously expressing the poetic aesthetic elements of his Chinese heritage.⠀ .⠀ Sanyu (1895-1966), 'Goldfish', Painted 1930s-40s. Estimate: HK$120,000,000-180,000,000, US$16,000,000-23,000,000.⠀ .⠀ Sanyu: Goldfish — 2 December, Hong Kong⠀ .⠀ #art #artist #sanyu #changyu #goldfish #painting #painter #hongkong #newyork #liveauction」11月4日 16時56分
