佳士得有幸獲委託拍賣貝聿銘及盧淑華(又名盧愛玲)夫婦珍藏，呈獻這位國際建築巨匠與妻子盧淑華結縭 72 載期間蒐集的臻品油畫、繪畫、紙本作品和雕塑。

Christie’s is honored to have been entrusted with The Collection of Eileen and I.M. Pei, an exceptional selection of paintings, drawings, works on paper and sculpture assembled by the celebrated international architect and his wife over the course of their 72-year marriage.

這批珍藏匯聚東西藝術大師的佳作，並將於佳士得紐約、香港和巴黎舉行的秋季印象派及現代藝術、戰後及當代藝術、亞洲二十世紀藝術和中國書畫各類拍賣中亮相。貝氏與來自故鄉中國、歐洲及世界各國的藝術同好聚成親密的僑民群組，矚目藏品包括這些與貝氏私交甚篤的藝術名家代表作，如巴內特·紐曼(Barnett Newman)、尚·杜布菲(Jean Dubuffet)和趙無極。

The collection, a sophisticated blend of artworks by Eastern and Western artists, will be offered through Christie’s major sales sites in New York, Hong Kong, and Paris this fall in the categories of Impressionist & Modern Art, Post-War & Contemporary Art, Asian 20th Century Art, and Chinese Paintings. Highlights of the collection include seminal works by Barnett Newman, Jean Dubuffet, and Zao Wou-Ki, who were personal friends of the architect and his wife for many years and formed a part of their close community of artists, architects, and intellectuals.

另外還法蘭茲·克萊因(Franz Kline)、張大千、齊白石、威廉·德·庫寧 (Willem de Kooning)、亨利·摩爾(Henry Moore)、雅克·利普茲(Jacques Lipchitz)、許士騏和野口勇。整批珍藏的總值預料超過 2,500 萬美元。

Additional works by Franz Kline, Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Willem de Kooning, Henry Moore, Jacques Lipchitz, Xu Shiqi and Isamu Noguchi highlight the diversity of the couple’s aesthetic interests and influences. The full collection of 59 works is expected to exceed $25 million.
