Lot Report

Provenance:

Chinese Scroll Paintings from the Estate of KC Tai, Part III (lots 257-274) Born in 1917 in Guandong, the late Kwok-Choi Tai took after his father, a venerated scholar from the late Qing Dynasty, and the third ranked official in Guangzhou province. Mr. Tai graduated from Sun Yatsen University during WWII and majored in Chinese literature and psychology, and taught at the College of Education for the Hong Kong government until he retired in the early 1980's. The majority of the paintings from his collection was acquired from the 1950's to 1980's and features the works of the South Chinese Lingnan School. Previous parts of this collection were sold at Waddington's in June and December of 2012.
