Lot 216
Su Meishuo (1900-1966)
Provenance:
Chinese Paintings from The Woo Shoppe, Vancouver (Lots 214-218)
The Woo Shoppe was located on Vancouver’s W. 10th Ave from 1977 to 1981 and moved to Gas Town from 1983 to 1986. It was one of the first dealers in the Vancouver region to import Chinese antiques through regional branches of the China National Arts & Crafts Import and Export Corporation, and made many trips to Beijing, Guangzhou and other parts of China. After the closing of their store, the owners maintained their personal collection until now. Their mandate was for “opening popular vision to the treasures of Chinese culture”.
