今年8月,屬於全球華人集體回憶的「老夫子」(老夫子 Old Master Q) 將於八月重臨蘇富比!香港蘇富比隆重宣佈,將於8月10至25日在「蘇富比Sl2藝術空間」舉行一場別開生面的展售會——「舊情復熾︰老夫子AND蘇富比」。四年後,老夫子重臨香港蘇富比,作第一代作者王家禧手稿最後一次大型公開展售。
今次展售會帶來兩代王澤的原稿畫作,包括已故老王澤(王家禧)早年珍貴彩色封面與黑白4格、6格漫畫作品,以及兒子王澤的壓克力彩畫作品,以當代藝術的玩味手法重新演繹老夫子人物。兩代畫筆穿越時空,共同見証老夫子傳奇。當中焦點作品——現存最早「老夫子」封面原稿《搖滾老夫子》,將於8月1至17日以網上拍賣形式,讓公眾一同參與競投,使展覽成為香港蘇富比首個結合網上拍賣與私人洽購的展售活動。
This August, Old Master Q, an enduring icon which encapsulates the collective memory of Hong Kong and the Chinese diaspora, returns once again to Sotheby’s! Entitled Old Master Q 2.0, the selling exhibition is yet another collaboration between Sotheby’s and Old Master Q, following the hugely successful 2014 exhibition of Mr. Alphonso Wong’s original works. The exhibition takes place at Sotheby’s Hong Kong Sl2 Gallery throughout 10 – 25 August 2018, and it is the final public selling exhibition of the late artist.
Old Master Q 2.0 exhibits original works by the father-and-son duo, including Mr. Alphonso Wong’s early colour covers and comic strips in four- and six-frame formats, as well as acrylic paintings by Professor Joseph Wong, whose playful and contemporary interpretation of Old Master Q characters vests a unique life energy into this quintessential cultural icon of Hong Kong. The star lot of the exhibition — the earliest existing Old Master Q cover artwork, Rock’n Roll — is offered at an online auction from 1 – 17 August. This is the first time for Sotheby’s Hong Kong to combine its online and offline platforms, offering collectors an enhanced purchasing experience.
