Auction Highlights - Autumn 2016 Chinese and Asian Modern and Contemporary Art Chinese and Asian Modern and Contemporary Art 10:30am, 3 rd October Poly Auction Hong Kong presents Pink Nude on Floral Sheet, a classic early work by Sanyu, from Robert Frank s collection in this Autumn. The painting features a rare mix of visual elements and motifs from the early years of the artist s career. A special section dedicated to Wu Guanzhong will present an array of his iconic works, including A Lotus Pond, the largest painting of Wu in the history of auction, as well as Early Spring from mid-1970s and other iconic works such as The Fisherman s Revenge, highlighting different phases and milestones of Wu Guanzhong s artistic career, as well as the transformation of his techniques and subjects, from still life to Chinese landscape. A Flute Player, a masterpiece by Fan Tchunpi, symbolises the realist artist s aesthetical fusion of Western and Chinese paintings. Lin Fengmian s cubist reinterpretation of Peking opera in The Fisherman s Revenge is also one to watch. Selected abstract pieces by Chu Tehchun chronicle the three decades of his artistic career, while Zao Wuki s represent a turning point of contemporary art in the 20 th century. The contemporary art section features Zeng Fanzhi s Mask Series and Mao Yan s early work Black Portrait, as well as a rare revolution-themed series by Ai Xuan and Li Shan s early Rogue Series. The pioneering visions of Wu Guanzhong in terms of form and color are best illustrated in A Lotus Pond (1997). The realistic motif is depicted through a pointillistic combination of dots and strokes, creating a dynamic symphony of rhythm and visual tension. This renewed technique of ink wash beacons new direction of traditional Chinese painting a veritable milestone in his 50-plus-year artistic career.
