廖繼春《運河》1974 油彩畫布 72.5 x 91 cm 羅芙奧台北2006春季拍賣會編號064 LIAO Chi-chun, "Canal", 1974, oil on canvas, 72.5 x 91 cm, Ravenel Spring Auction 2006 Taipei, lot 064

Since its inception in 1999, Ravenel Auction has had local roots and global vision. Ravenel’s professional art investment consultancy service and outstanding auction record earned it a place in the top three leading auction companies on both sides of the strait. Established in Beijing in 2006, Ravenel was awarded “Art China, Annual Influence” and named of the most influential auction houses in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Since then, Ravenel has been more active in pioneering the business landscape. Since then, Ravenel has been aggressively expanded its business, holding the first Modern and Contemporary Art Auction in Hong Kong in 2008. A Hong Kong branch was established the following year to serve as the first Chinese auction company to enter Hong Kong, and a Shanghai office was established in 2012. The year 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of Ravenel’s founding. Ravenel has always had an eye for fine art, a team of professional judges, and a commitment to introduce Chinese and Western cultural works of art to collectors. In 2002, Ravenel held the "Art in China - Impressionism and Modern Art" exhibition, which introduced originals by Monnet, Renoir, Picardo, Chagall, and other masters. It later held the 2009 "Andy Warhol Night" exhibition, which introduced originals by Western masters including Damien Hirst, Jean Dubuffet, and Anish Kapoor. In the same year, Ravenel also cooperated with the Louvre to organize the "Le Louvre – Sculpture in Movement Exhibition", which toured in Asia. In addition, by observing the trends of the global art market over the long term and interacting closely with the art industry, Ravenal Art Group keeps up-to-date on the latest art market dynamics globally. In 2002, Ravenal launched Taiwan's first professional magazine dealing with art collections from an investment perspective, Art and Investing quarterly journal. In 2012, Ravenel launched the Ravenel Enterprise Journal for global VIP customers, which featured columns by an Art & Investing senior expert analyzing art markets and future trends. With its specialization in the collecting of 20th and 21st century Chinese art, Ravenal has set the standard for auctioning in the Chinese art area. In 2004, Chu The-chun's works achieved a record high when “Temps d’hiver” sold for NT$16.45 million. In 2006, Liao Chi-chun’s “Canal” sold for NT$80.85 million, a new global record for the artist. In 2007, Wang Huaiqing’s “Gold Stone” broke global auction records for a Wang painting at a final price of NT$87.96 million. In 2010, Ju Ming’s "Taichi Series – Single Whip" sold for NT$82.24 million, setting a new auction record for the artist and also becoming the highest-auctioning individual work by a contemporary Taiwanese sculptor. In 2011, Sanyu’s “Five Nudes” set the highest auction record for Chinese oil paintings with a final price of NT$475.25 million. In 2013, Shiy De-Jinn’s “Self-Portrait” sold for NT$22.8 million, the world auction record for Shiy De-jinn’s paintings. "Special Auction of Works by Shiy De-jinn – His Close Friend's Collection of 30 Years" was a record-setting 100% “white glove” sell-out, reinforcing the value of Taiwanese artists. In the same year, Tzu-Chi Yeh’s “ Mountain by Lao River, Hualian”" sold for NT$10.2 million, breaking the artist's previous auction record. In 2014, Zao Wu-ki’s “Plantes tortillées” set the record for highest-priced oil painting in Taiwan's auction history at a price of NT$243.36 million. In 2015, Chinese-American artist Walasse Ting's “Miss World” sold for NT$56.32 million, setting records at home and abroad, as well as setting a new record for the artist. Sanyu set another record in 2017, when “Vase of Chrysanthemums with Red Ground” sold for NT$282.56 billion, the highest-priced oil painting in Taiwan’s history and a 10-year high for the artist.

Besides Chinese artworks, Ravenel stands out from Asia art market. Lots of Japanese artworks were sold more than double price at Ravenel. In Spring 2017, Yayoi KUSANA "Amour pour Toujours" was sold three times of estimate price for NTD 5,040,000; furthermore, in Autumn auction, Ravenel sold Yayoi KUSANA "Key-Chan" twice of high estimate price, NTD 10,200,000. Additionally, Yoshitomo Nara "Nara Little Pilgrim (Night Walking)" sold 1.57 times of high estimate price, achieving NTD 6,600,000. It is worth mentioning that in recent years Walasse Ting’s abstract paintings have performed well at auction houses, seeing huge increases in price. With a sharp surge in 2018, the price of his large-scale abstract works has transferred to “Miss World”. In June 2019, Ravenal’s "Modern and Contemporary Art in Asia" will feature a rare large-scale work by Walasse Ting, "Pink Roses Biggling". This abstract masterpiece from 1973 is a vivid demonstration of Ting's talent and his passion for life. Exquisitely colorful apricot flowers sway and dance in the spring breeze. The profusion and vitality of the colors treats the viewer to a visual feast of the interplay between static and dynamic. The brushwork bursts with emotion, while blank space brings forth Oriental aesthetics. The elegant green background is like the earth from which all things sprout; peach-pink dots brighten the canvas like a rouge, filling the spring breeze with color. Just like the free-spirited apricot blossom, which blooms while other spring flowers are still hiding from the frost, the artist’s freehanded brushstrokes reveal lust for life and delicate tension. With his unique feeling of life and artistry, Walasse Ting gave the viewer more room for imagination and also opened a new chapter for Walasse Ting art collection at the same time. "Pink Roses Biggling", to be auctioned in the spring of 2019, is a key indicator of this trend.

Ravenel’s department of Chinese Work of Art was established in 2013. At the first edition of “The Imperial Treasures" auction, a Large Imperial Gilt-Bronze Archaistic Ritual Chime was sold at the price of NT$45,538,462. This first auction was largely affirmed by local collectors and was successfully sold at a turnover rate of 90%. In 2015, Ravenel launched “The Literati Sale” with curatorial concepts that blended ancient and modern 4

artefacts and masterpieces. With the literati's aesthetic, the multi-item structure presents a new auction experience for the vast number of collectors. Combining the spirit of the Tang and Song dynasties, “The Literati Sale” gathers the famous kiln porcelain from the South and the North during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the autumn auction of 2017, a Southern Song Longquan Celadon Tripod Censor, as a rare treasure with outstanding background, was sold for NT$2,880,000. In additional, another representative lot of Song Ding Black-Glazed Tea Bowl

was

especially precious compared to the large number of white Ding ware, and was eventually purchased by a collector at NT$3,120,000. As a well-known Asian auction house with a history of 20 years, Ravenel is honored to bring together art lovers from all walks of life to meet in 2019 to witness the 5

past and to to march towards the future. "The Literati Sales" will adhere to the theme of beauty and precision, and hopes to continue to bring more fun and meaning to collectors.

賣，並於秋季推出兩場專屬書畫的專拍。在這短短的兩年來，書畫專場已經為羅芙奧創下1億5千多萬台幣的成交，可見羅芙奧勇於迎接新挑戰，屢創佳績。書畫部創立於書畫藝術市場裡浮沉不穩的時期。相對2017年的市場表現，2018年中國書畫整體市場的增長率明顯放慢。面對萎縮的市場環境，羅芙奧利用台灣在地優張大千《潑彩夏山》1975 設色紙本 91.5 x 208.5 cm 羅芙奧台北2017秋拍「緣來私藏III：古今人文藝術專場」台幣1億336百萬成交 ZHANG Daqian (CHANG Da-Chien), "Landscape of the Summer Hills", 1975, Ink and colour on paper, 91.5 x 208.5 cm, Ravenel Autumn Auction 2017 Literati III : Encounter with a Collector, sold for US$ 3,443,038

勢，以「重質輕量」為原則，以提高拍品的藝術性及收藏價值為軸心，迎合藏家雅賞品味與深厚的文化底蘊。搜羅的作品來自頂級國畫大師如渡海三家張大千、溥心畬、黃君璧，台灣的文人大師江兆申、于右任、臺靜農，及中外融合創新的水墨大師歐豪年、李義弘、喻仲林。書畫部陳砥翰經理表示：「羅芙奧書畫部感謝國內外藏家的支持，我們會承續首兩拍熾熱的後勁，為藏家帶來源源不絕的珍稀墨寶。」

Looking back to the past 20 years of establishment of Ravenel, one of the major milestones is undoubtedly the creation of a new category, the Fine Chinese Paintings. This category was previously included as part of the Literati Sale. In Spring 2018, the first Chinese Paintings auction was launched, followed by two curated auctions in Autumn. In the past two years, Chinese Paintings Sale has created more than NT$150 million, showing Ravenel’s keen commitment to meeting new challenges and creating new achievements. Fine Chinese Paintings Department was founded during a tumultuous period in the Chinese Paintings market. Compared with the market performance in 2017, the growth rate of China's overall calligraphy market slowed down significantly in 2018. Faced with a shrinking market, Ravenel strategically capitalized on Taiwan's geographical advantage. Based on the principle of "Quality over Quantity", the artistic and collectible value of the auctioned lots was enhanced to meet the needs of collectors and to cater to their refined taste in arts and cultural heritage. Works came from top Chinese Painting masters, including Zhang Da-Chien, Pu Hsin-Yu, Huang Chun-Pi, Taiwan's great academics Chiang Chao-Shen, Yu Youren, Tai Jingnong, and Au Ho-Nien, Lee Yih-Hong, and Yu Chung-Lin, who were well-acclaimed ink masters of combining Chinese and Western artistic styles. Fine Chinese Paintings Department manager Masa Chen expresses gratitude to our collectors for their unanimous support, “Following our previous success, we are committed to pursue greater goals in upcoming sales, bringing to collectors a continuous supply of unique ink art pieces.”

打開歷史的抽屜可以看到未來村上隆 1962 年 2 月 1 日出生於日本東京，雙親都來自九州，一家人皆具有藝術細胞，弟弟村上裕二

（Yuji）後來也是一名日本畫的畫家。父親村上福壽郎（Fukujuro Murakami），二次大戰時加入自衛隊，

戰後為了家庭到東京開計程車維生，晚年他的繪畫與雕塑作品，終於有機會展出，一償宿願。母親Itsuko是家庭主婦，

從八、九歲起，虎媽帶村上隆參觀各式畫展，並嚴格要求須寫評論心得。儘管家境清貧，但因為父母對藝術的重視，村上隆得以依靠父母和親戚的資助，畫畫創作到28歲。學畫的過程並非一路順遂，迫使他立願要做能賺錢的藝術，揚名立萬，且死後仍能贏得尊敬，如同葛飾北齋一般名留青史。然而一直到36歲時，還是經濟窘迫，得到超商乞討過期便當果腹。如同多數的孩子一樣，村上隆自幼喜愛看卡通動漫，原本夢想要當動畫師，在創作的道路上，他以導演宮崎駿為效法的主要標的，畫師田中功起的技術與動態、還有動漫宗師手塚治虫也是他學習景仰的對象。然而他深知繪畫技巧仍不夠純熟，為了精進技術，他希望能進入藝術學院學習。不料重考兩年後才考上東京藝術大學，苦學日本畫（Nihonga膠彩畫）的創作。日本畫是一種融合傳統和風主題以及歐洲風格的繪畫技法。1986年大學四年級，連續五個月每日超過15個小時日以繼夜的進行畢業作品《側面的自畫像》，右手甚至得了肌腱炎，認真如此本來預料可以第一名畢業，不幸只拿到第四名。研究所二年級時又用更複雜的畫法與畫材作畫，再度得到肌腱炎，這次仍舊無法如願，僅拿得第二名，他不甘心的咬牙切齒憤怒爆哭。28歲時為了在博士班課程中發表作品，花光三百萬獎學金只為購買昂貴的岩彩畫材，費盡心力不怕

挫折、打死不退。1993年村上隆終於取得日本畫的博士學位，成為該校第一位取得日本畫博士殊榮的藝術家。

1994年他獲得洛克菲勒基金會ACC獎學金，前往紐約PS1國際工作室駐村研習一年。一次在街上閒逛，在地鐵站看到幾隻老鼠搶食食物，原來當一隻胖老鼠，撞開大家才能搶得到食物。原本前途茫然，頓時體悟到畫家要在世界生存，必須先在紐約成名，成功才會有錢。不能以源自西畫的日本畫與世界競逐，務必拿出日本最強且最獨特的本事，他想到了御宅族最愛的卡通動漫文化。於是他將自己視作翻譯者，橋樑，把日本文化重新包裝、翻譯成世人易懂的藝術，而非刻版印象裡細膩複雜、艱澀難懂的神秘東方。從迪士尼卡通人物米老鼠造型得到靈感，創造出象徵著自我投射的可愛人物Mr. DOB（DOB君），於焉誕生，此一視覺圖案成宛如村上隆的標誌與簽

名。DOB一詞出自日文方言的「為甚麼」，藉由不斷的自我提問，開展出未來的藝術創業之路。

日本文化武器三部曲―「超扁平」、「塗畫」、「小男孩」 1996年參加第二屆昆士蘭亞太三年展，村上隆利用作品《Mr. DOB》，首度發表了他的「超扁平」宣言。他開宗明義說到：「將來的社會、

風俗、藝術、文化，都會像日本一樣，都變得極度平面（two-dimensional）…今天，日本電玩和卡通動畫最能表現這種特質，而這些又在世界文化中具有強大的力量。」村上隆深入研究日本藝術史，發現自唐朝中國、朝鮮傳入的繪畫，一律維持平面的風格，有別於中國繪畫的多點透視空間感，甚或是西方繪畫的單點透視三維空間，日本的繪畫其實非常的平面，他甚至認為整個日本即是一個「超扁平」。二次大戰以後，戰敗國社會普遍存在的自卑感，1980年代與1990年代的泡沫經濟、沙林毒氣等重大社會壓力，苦悶的人們轉向平面的可愛動漫療癒身心。村上隆的宣言挑戰了西方藝術史，卡漫藝術逐漸成為全球重要的美術運動。

2001年他在美國策畫舉辦「超扁平」博物館巡迴聯展，首站洛杉磯MOCA的開幕展吸引了八千位觀眾，打破該館成立以來的首日觀展人數。

透過文化傳播的力量，展現非常日本的吸睛魅力。重複性的微笑的小花與圖案，背後有太陽國度的文化意象，還有向普普藝術前輩安迪沃荷Andy

Warhol致敬的意味。各式媒體大幅的報導，《紐約時報》盛讚村上隆為「新普普」（Neo-Pop）的領導者。「超扁平」的概念可能取代普普藝術。

繼提出「超扁平」的概念之後，2003年村上隆透過展覽策劃提出「幼稚力」（Kawaii, 2003）以及「小男孩」（Little Boy, 2005）的概念。村上隆說：「現代日本社會流行的共同點就是『幼稚』和『可愛』。」「動漫的審美體驗是獨特的，它會打動你未泯的童心，激起你對童年的美好回憶。」戰後的創傷使日本社會普遍瀰漫長不大的心態，「小男孩」存在於他們的內心世界，不願當個大人面對殘酷世界，寧願當宅男躲藏在自己的小天地，冷眼看世界。「小男孩」也令人聯想起1945年丟擲在廣島的第一顆原子彈。原彈爆炸升起的蘑菇雲、骷顱頭，種種符號也經常出現在其作品中，可愛背後蘊藏著暗黑與死亡意涵。

情色等身大公仔、可愛妖怪風雕塑 1990 年代後期為了參加美國的展覽，村上隆有意將御宅族的文化發揮極致，找

上玩具模型公司海洋堂 Kaiyodo 合作，費盡氣力請公仔造型師依照他的設計圖製作

出性感爆乳的女僕形象《Miss Ko²》。《Miss Ko²》是村上隆第一件藝術公仔創作，

具有原創意義，此時公仔潮流隱然即將來臨。接著他繼續火力全開，製作童顏巨乳雕塑《 Hiropon 》（爆乳美少女），以及靈感源自七龍珠的《我的寂寞牛仔》（ My

Lonesome Cowboy），兩件全面展現性感的裸體等身公仔，乳汁、精液噴飛的大膽造型，簡直讓日本藝壇難以忍受，動漫界也怒批他消費御宅族文化。

不過《 Hiropon 》雕塑在美國市場受到歡迎，發表後立刻賣出。而男性公仔《我的寂寞牛仔》選擇在西岸洛杉磯發表，限量作品秒殺銷售一空。村上隆充滿鬥志，在繪畫之餘也不斷創作立體作品。包括後來的《 DOB 君》、《尖頭君與四天王》

（Mr. Pointy）、《二重螺旋逆轉》（Reversed Double Helix）、《貓熊》（Panda）、

《命》（Inochi）、雙胞胎《怪怪》（KaiKai）與《奇奇》（KiKi）、《小花瑪坦戈》

（Flower Matango）、《哆啦A夢》等充滿可愛妖怪風的公仔藝術。

想在歐美的藝術市場創作，藝術家的主體性必然是創作的動機之一。於是村上依循這樣的法則，回歸日本的文化認同。日本最具知性的藝術資源，即是「可愛」與「御宅族」，這些日本文化將透過村上隆登上西方博物館的殿堂。放眼今日拍賣市場的藝術公仔，無疑地村上隆站上了領先的地位，在1997年開始創作這個構想，也讓藝

術家與公仔模型的合作立下範例。共有三個版次的1997年原創等身大《Miss Ko²》在

2003年紐約佳士得拍出美金56.75萬元的高價，2010年紐約富藝斯拍賣拍出美金680萬的天價，2017年在香港蘇富比也有近300萬美元的行情。

而目前高居村上隆拍賣市場最高價的作品，則是1998年創作的等身公仔《我的寂

寞牛仔》則拍出美金1516萬元，將近五億台幣的天價，此紀錄仍高掛排行榜首不墜。

這件公仔由全球最有權勢的高古軒畫廊老闆Larry Gagosian買下。截至2019年3月為止，前二十大的村上隆拍賣紀錄，立體作品就將近佔了一半的比重，可見公仔藝術在其創作過程中有相當重要的角色。

江戶現代怪傑：神獸繪畫與五百羅漢圖除了可愛風之外，擅長日本畫的村上隆不斷在傳統文化中尋根，延續江戶時代藝壇怪傑怪風，融入琳派、狩野派的金漆濃彩裝飾風，甚至浮世繪都是他後來研究的養分來源。2009年，和知名的藝術歷史學家辻惟雄（Nobuo

地震造成的傷害，以及因父親逝去感嘆生命的短暫，創作一系列具有宗教救贖與浮世繪特色的繪畫。 2012 年在杜哈、 2015 年他在日本森美術館發表的「五百羅漢」展覽，大獲好評。透過狩野派大師的作品啟發，探索有限的生命、無限的宇宙。他的《五百羅漢圖》以中國神獸傳說的「青龍」、「白虎」、「朱雀」、「玄武」四象呈現，五百羅漢尊者以姿態各異的方式呈現，整件作品長達一百公尺，為目前世界繪畫史上最大幅的作品。村上隆展現出他整合藝術工作群者的領導魅力，與兩百位美術學院學生共同協力完成，他堅信越多人參與，越會成為好作品。

2019 年春在比佛利山莊高古軒畫廊展出「揭諦揭諦」 GYATEI² 展覽，引用佛教心經裡的咒語，有重生的意涵。隨著年紀漸長，村上隆的藝術

digging in his heels and running the art circuits in America and Europe for 20, 30 years, driven by the dream of letting the world see the greatness and ambition of Japan. At the same time he established the Modern Kano School and held over 20 Geisai festivals, as well as establishing the KaiKai Kiki Studio and Gallery, an art complex supporting and cooperating with young artists. “Takashi Murakami” is run as a global brand. He also pushed the concept of Superflat in the Western art world, which was a new concept that completely changed the common perception of Japanese art.

Considered one of the most active and powerful modern Japanese artists, he has held solo exhibitions at prestigious international galleries including Galerie Perrotin, Gagosian Gallery and Plum & Poe. Additionally he has exhibited in major museums around the world including a 2010 retrospective at Château de Versailles in France, “500 Arhats” at Mori Art Museum in 2015, and has collections held at MoMA and other museums around the world, a testament to his spirit and vigorous ambition.

OPENING THE DOORS ON THE PAST REVEALS THE FUTURE

Takashi Murakami was born on February 1st, 1962 in Tokyo, Japan. Both parents were from Kyushu, and all his family

members were artistically gifted. His younger brother Yuji later became a prestigious Japanese painter. His father Fukujuro Murakami joined the self-defense force during World War II. After the war, for the sake of the family, he moved to Tokyo and took on the role of taxi driver to support the family while drawing and sculpting in the evenings, finally had a chance to fulfill his wish. Itsuko, the mother, was a homemaker. Under her strict tiger parenting, from the age of 8 or 9 Murakami was brought to many art exhibitions and forced to write reviews and reflections. Despite their destitute financials, with the heavy emphasis on art placed by his father and mother, as well as support from relatives Murakami was able to exhibit and draw until the age of 28. The road of illustration tutelage was a bumpy one. Forcing himself to create art that would make money, make a name for himself and create a legacy that would last even after death, like the great artist Hokusai. Even til the age of 36, he was still economically unviable, begging for expired bento from supermarkets to get by. Like many children, Murakami loved watching cartoons as a child. Originally he dreamed of becoming an anime artist when he grew up. He held the works of director Hayao Miyazaki as his goal, and the drawings of the artist Koki Tanaka for their technique and dynamic. The animation master Tezuka Osamu was another subject of his admiration. However, Murakami knew that illustration itself was not enough. In order to improve his technique he hoped to study at art school. After 2 years of taking and retaking exams, he was accepted to Tokyo University of the Arts and studied the creation of Nihonga, Japanese painting. Nihonga is an amalgamation of traditional Japanese subjects and European style. In 1986 in his fourth year he endured 5 months of 15 hour work days working day and night on his graduation piece “Side Self Portrait” acquiring tendonitis in his right hand through his exertions. He seriously thought he would graduate in first place but unfortunately garnered only fourth. In the second year of his masters program he used an even more complicated method to create his paintings and again endured tendonitis. Still, he garnered only second place, pushing him to tears. At 28 he blew a three million yen award on supplies but was again thwarted. In 1993 he finally attained a PhD in Nihonga, becoming the student to achieve a PhD in art.

In 1994 he received the ACC scholarship from the Rockefeller foundation and went to the PS1 International Studio for one year. Once, as he was walking in the street, he saw a group of mice fighting for food -- actually, it was most advantageous to be a fat mouse in order to push aside the other mice and get the food. A previously unsure Murakami suddenly realized how to survive as an artist in this world. First, he had to make a name for himself in New York, because only by being successful could he make money. He couldn’t use the Westernderived Nihonga to compete in the world, he had to use the strongest and more unique characteristic of Japan, leading him to think of anime and manga, beloved by the culture of otaku. He viewed himself as a translator, a bridge, repackaging Japanese culture and turning it into something that people of the world could easily understand and not something loaded down with details or over complicated with nuance. Inspired by the the Disney icon Mickey Mouse, the adorable character “Mr. DOB”, who symbolizes self-projection, was born. From here this visual became Murakami’s logo and signature. DOB comes from a Japanese dialect meaning ‘why’? Through continual self-examination the road to artistic creation is discovered.

THE THREE WEAPONS OF JAPANESE CULTURE: SUPERFLAT, NURI-E, AND LITTLE BOY

In 1996, Murakami participated in the 2nd Queensland Asia-Pacific Triennial. He exhibited “Mr. DOB” for the first time,

using it as a platform to debut his “Superflat” theory. He stated “In the future, our society, style, art, and culture, will be like Japan, they will become two-dimensional [...] today, Japanese games and cartoons all exemplify this quality, and these products hold enormous weight in our global culture.” Murakami delved deep into Japanese art history, discovering that pictures from Tang Dynasty China and Korea exhibited this flat style, which is different from Chinese multi-point viewpoint style and Western onepoint perspective. He even went so far as to theorize that all of Japan was “Superflat”. After losing World War II, an inferiority complex prevailed in defeated countries. Major sources of societal pressure including the economic bubble and sarin gas incident of the 1980’s and 1990’s pushed the depressed people to turn to the cute and two dimensional cartoons to heal their hearts. Murakami’s manifesto contested Western art history; cartoon art gradually became an important art movement in the global arena. In 2001 he planned an Ultra-Flat museum tour in America. The first stop was the MoCA in Los Angeles. On the first day over 8000 people showed up, breaking the record for visitors in a day for a single exhibition. Through communicating culture, Murakami exhibited the attraction of Japan. Repetitive smiling flowers and images upon a background of the cultural image of a sun and a tribute to pop art idol Andy Warhol. The press went wild. New York Times called Murakami the Leader of Neo-Pop -“Superflat” may displace pop art.

Following “Superflat", in 2003, Murakami proposed the concept of "Kinderid" (Kawaii, 2003) and "Little Boy" (2005) through exhibition planning. Takashi Murakami stated: "The commonality of modern Japanese society is "childlike" and "cute". "The aesthetic experience of anime is unique. It will impress your unspoken childlike heart and arouse your memories of childhood." Post-war trauma has caused Japanese society to have a long-lasting mentality. “Little Boy” exists in their inner worlds, unwilling to be an adult to face the cruel outer world, instead, they would rather be otaku, hiding in their own little universe, observing the world with cold eyes. “Little Boy’ also invokes the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. The mushroom cloud from the explosion and skull appear often in his words - behind the cuteness there is darkness and death.

EROTIC LIFE-SIZE DOLLS, CUTE MONSTER STATUES

In the 90’s, in order to attend an exhibition in America Murakami collaborated with the toy company Kaiyodo and

expended quite a bit of energy to create the sexy large-breasted female figure “Miss Ko²”. “Miss Ko²” was Murakami’s first doll figure, exhibiting his originality. At the time figurines were becoming a trend as well. He continued on, following with “Hiropon”, the child-faced giant figure (huge breasted woman) and the sexy Dragonball inspired “My Lonesome Cowboy”. These two lifesized naked figurines, entwined in breast milk and seminal fluid, infuriated both the Japanese art world and the otaku who were upset at his wanton selling out of their culture. However, “Hiropon” was well received in the U.S. and sold soon after publication. “My Lonesome Cowboy” debuted in Los Angeles on the West Bank with limited editions immediately sold out. Murakami is full of vigor and continues to create three-dimensional works in addition to painting, including Mr. Pointy, Revered Double Helix, Panda, Inochi, Kaikai and Kiki, Flower Matango, Doraemon and other strange and monstrous creations. To be a creative in the Euro-American market the artist’s subjectivity must be a part of the creative process. Murakami compiled and returned to Japanese culture. The most well-known aspects of Japanese art are “cute” and “otaku”. Through Murakami these two identities found audience on the pedestals of Western museums. Considering the art figurines on modern day auction stands, Murakami is without a doubt a leader. In 1997 he planted the seeds of this concept and also created the example cooperation between toy-maker and fine artists. In 1997 there were three versions of Miss Ko² which in 2003 commanded 567,500 US dollars at Christie’s in New York. In 2010 Philips of New York auctioned a piece for 6.8 million US dollars, and in 2010 in Hong Kong brought in nearly 3 million US dollars. Furthermore, the highest priced work by Murakami is currently the lifesize “My Lonesome Cowboy” created in 1998, which sold for 15.16 million US dollars (nearly 500 million NTD), bought by Larry Gagosian, owner of the powerful Gagosian gallery. As of March 2013, 3-dimensional works comprised half of Murakami’s top 20 works, showing that doll art plays a very important role in his creative process.

MODERN EDO FREAKSHOW: THE MONSTER PAINTING AND 500 ARHATS

Aside from cute style, Murakami continually searches for

roots within traditional culture, carrying on geek style of Edo art, and integrates the decorative gold leaf of the Rinpai and Kano schools, and even later era traditional illustration

ukiyo-e as sources of inspiration. In 2009, he started a dialogue on Japanese with Nobuo Tsuji, a famous art historian on subject such as “Dragon in Clouds”. Feeling the

damage caused by the 311 earthquake as well as the shortness of life brought on by his father’s passing, Murakami created a series of paintings featuring religious redemption and ukiyo-e. His “500 Arhats” was displayed in 2012 in Duha, Qatar, and again in 2015, at the Mori Art Museum to critical acclaim. The works were inspired by the Kano Masters, exploring the limits of life and the infinity of the universe. The “500 Arhats” is presented in four parts, named in the manner of traditional Chinese mythology: Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Red Bird, and Black Turtle. The 500 Arhats are presented in different ways, and the entire painting spans 100 meters -- the longest painting in the world. Murakami exhibited his leadership and charm, working with 200 students from the Academy of Fine Arts to complete the project. He firmly believes that the more people that participates, the greater the word will be. In the spring of 2019, The GYATEI² Exhibition was held at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills, which drew from incantations used in Buddhist scripture that have the meaning of rebirth. As he has aged Murakami’s works has likewise broadened in scope. No wonder! Since meeting Emmanuel Perrotin in 1993 the two have continued to collaborate on exhibitions since 1995, including even an interdisciplinary collaboration with Louis Vuitton.

INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION WITH LV BOUTIQUE AND STAYING RELATIVE

In 2003 Murakami had a chance to attend the Venice Biennale due to Galerie Perrotin. Louis Vuitton is a sponsor of the Venice Biennale, which

in turn became an opportunity for collaboration. In 2003 despite the economic downturn throughout all of Europe, Vuitton was the only brand turning a profit. The Murakami Monogram, or Murakami Totem, replete with panda, sakura, and camouflage patterns, accounted for over 10% of sales. The decorative packaging of Murakami and designer Marc Jacob drove celebrity ladies crazy, and the cooperation between them has continued for 12 years. Aside from Louis Vuitton, the business-minded Murakami has also collaborated with Shu Uemura Cosmetics, Co. Ltd, as well as branded with Vans, Kawakubo, Visvim, Off-White, Uniqlo, and the sake label NEXT5, as well as musicians including Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Drake etc. In 2014 he co-created the film trilogy Jellyfish Eyes with Pharrell Williams, a black comedy set against the backdrop of the 311 earthquake. The film features dark cartoons, high-profile sex, and exploratory networks. Exuberant combat power, timely -- despite that he is nearing 60 years of age, the work remains very relevant.

THE COMPLICATED SLASHIE LIFE OF THE GODFATHER OF ART

Murakami’s brilliant strategy, caused great controversy regarding his unmasked capitalistic tendency, however he has spared no effort in

grooming succeeding generations. Since 2002 Geisai has been held every year, selecting the best of new blood, including Hiroyuki Matsuura and Ayako Rokkaku, both of whom came out of Geisai. In order to put on this activity Murakami has taken on a million Japanese yuan in debt. Geisai has been held 20 times, ended in 2014; in 2009 it even expanded to Taiwan. If he didn’t truly have enthusiasm and concern, then it would be unnecessary to hold such an artistic competition and establish this studio, to search for collaborators, or have representative artists for KaiKai Kiki. He hopes to create a modern Kano, to find way for Japanese contemporary art. He is an artist, and also a gallery owner; as an art dealer he is a strict boss because only with anger can good art be created. His standards for auditing are quite clear: how to create value, how to generate high prices in the resale market, only when the art inspires the wealthy who are willing to spend money on it, will it be considered successful. In the New York art market his works command millions of dollars, even tens of millions. In 2018 at least 26 million US dollars were traded, about half in New York, followed by London. He has a lot of room for growth in Asia. Over the years as he has been tirelessly promoting his ideas, Murakami and his art partners communicate, uncovering the hidden potential of artists. He has published at least 3 books, The Art Entrepreneurship Theory (2007), Art Combat Theory (2010) and Creativity (2014). These works are like personal biographies, analyzing the artistic territory he has so painfully carved out. In addition to opening art galleries, running cafes and bars, and creating and selling art wares, Murakami is also a collector. As a student he began to hoard photographs and prints. His first piece of collected art was by the German artist Horst Janssen, “Self Portrait with Skull”. He worked hard making and saving money, paying for the piece in installments. He has collected at least a thousand pieces of art so far, from Andy Warhol to David Shrigley’s “Life Model”; from the ink paintings of 18th century Japanese artist Soga Shohaku to the acclaimed “Merkaba” by German artist Anselm Kiefer, exhibiting his characteristic enthusiasm and persistence. The eccentric and multi-variant lifestyle of artist Takashi Murakami serves as an example for future generations to aspire to.

[ THE ARTIST ]

FROM HALLUCINATION TO AVANT-GARDE 從幻想到前衛―草間彌生不凡的藝術之路

YAYOI KUSAMA'S EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTIC JOURNEY

滿頭火紅鮮艷的假髮、誇張的眼影妝容、穿著自己設計的圓點服飾，日本國寶級藝術家─草間彌生，不凡的經歷造就了她獨特的藝術語言，來自傳統節制的日本，卻在美國發展出一系列看似離經叛道、極富爭議的前衛創作，1960-1970年代當時她的藝術完全不見容於日本藝壇，如今則公認為日本現存最偉大的藝術家。她具有多重身分，不僅是畫家、雕塑家、也是行為藝術家、服裝設計師和詩人、小說家，長期受幻覺、心因性精神疾病所苦，所以她也是一位精神病患者藝術家。回顧草間彌生的人生，是一段艱苦與奮鬥的歷程。1929年3月22日，她出生於日本長野縣松本市富裕政商之家，母親娘家經營育苗和採種場，屬於家境富裕的資產階級。父親是入贅的養婿，卻總是周旋在女人之間，個性剛烈的母親，儘管憤怒卻無力改變複雜的家庭問題，使得草間彌生童年與少女時代受到嚴密的管控，心靈蒙上陰影，一生深受其害。父親的花心濫情使她畏懼男人，對性極端排斥厭惡，她幾乎是無性之人，卻認同鼓勵同性戀與性愛的解放。

《無限的愛（十件一組）》草間彌生 2000 版畫 28/60 38 x 45.5 cm (每件) 羅芙奧台北2017春季拍賣會

Amour pour Toujours (a set of 10), Yayoi Kusama, 2000, Screenprint, 28/60 38 x 45.5 cm (each), Ravenel Spring Auction 2017 Taipei

她自幼有藝術天分，青年時期在故鄉學習膠彩、粉彩等傳統日本畫，受美國女藝術家歐姬芙（Georgia O'Keeffe）鼓勵，1957年至紐約發展，感受到自由創作之可貴。草間彌生作品多元，類型包括繪畫、軟雕塑、行為藝術、裝置、影片，涵蓋普普藝術、女權主義、超現實主義、原生藝術（Art Brut）、抽象表現主義、乍現藝術（Happening）等派別。她的作品呈現出個人的精神思考及自傳式內涵，當她創作時，透過偶然和無預兆的動機，與神祕的世界連結，內在身體的力量，潛意識的想法，鋪展出一個宇宙的大空間。對作畫的無限熱情和對藝術宗教般的景仰，支撐著她長期抵抗精神疾病的煎熬。「圓點」是草間彌生創作的主要元素，也是嬉皮年代的重要符號。在嬉皮、性解放、反戰的1960年代裡，草間彌生活躍於國際藝壇，人稱

「圓點女王」、「嬉皮女王」或是「前衛天后」，當時的知名度與影響力不輸普普藝術大師安迪．沃荷（Andy Warhol）。草間彌生的作品中

重複出現的「波卡圓點」圖案，啟發了後輩當代藝術家戴米恩•赫斯特（Damien Hirst）和村上隆（Takashi Murakami）。

[ THE ARTIST ]

「南瓜」與「花」是她一生鍾愛的主題，與她種植苗圃的家庭背景有關，大約十七、八歲時她曾以日本畫材料畫了幾個橫列的南瓜，獲得好評與獎項。她說南瓜的造型可愛，胖胖的大肚子帶給她強大的安定感。 1967

年至1970年代初，她成為一位環境雕塑家，結合「乍現」的行為演出，在

人體上塗畫圓點圖案，把內心畏懼的事物，化為重複的物件，不停地繪畫恐懼的東西，慢慢地將自己包圍，因此能消融自我，和環境合一，回歸宇宙的自然狀態。在紐約生活十七年後，1973年她返回日本定居。1975年開始創作拼貼

作品，1979年創作版畫，並投入文學寫作工作，1983年小說《克里斯多夫南娼窟》榮獲第十屆野性時代新人文學獎。她的一生充滿傳奇性。回到日本後數年，自願住進精神病院，但仍每日固定到醫院對面的工作室作畫，至少創作八個小時以上。直至今日國際展覽的邀約仍不間斷。

2000年起，草間彌生作品受歡迎的程度在拍賣市場中穩定成長，根據

法國藝術行情公司Artprice提供的數據，草間彌生價格指數（Price Index）

自2011年起呈現積極上揚的趨勢，一路攀升的行情，使得早年收藏草間彌生作品的藏家都能明顯感受增值之益，尤其限量版畫作品熱度正高， 2000

年至2019年共成交兩千五百餘件。今年1月在倫敦拍賣會上，版畫集《永遠的愛》10張版畫作品，甫以超出預估價格三倍多的金額，近台幣八百一十

萬元成交（約20萬英鎊），締造藝術家版畫作品拍賣最高成交紀錄。

With her fiery red wig, exaggerated eye makeup, and self-designed polkadotted clothes, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is both an unforgettable character and a national treasure. Kusama’s unique artistic language is the result of her extraordinary life. Hailing from the traditional and restrained culture of Japan, Kusama went on to live in the U.S. where she produced series of avant-garde works that appear rebellious and highly controversial. From the 1960s to the 1970s, her work was completely alien to Japanese art; nonetheless, she is now considered to be the greatest living artist in Japan. Kusama has multiple identities. She is not only a painter and sculptor, but also a performance artist, fashion designer, poet, and novelist. Suffering from hallucinations, she is also a survivor of mental illness. Kusama’s life was not easy. She was born on March 22, 1929, in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, to a wealthy merchant family with business and political backgrounds. Her mother's family was upper-class and operated a plant nursery and seed farm. Her father was a womanizer who had many affairs. Her mother, a strong character, was furious about these problems in her family, but was powerless to change them. Yayoi Kusama lived her childhood and adolescence under the shadow of her mother’s strict control - a shadow that haunted her for her entire life. Her father's philandering made her afraid of men and extremely aversive toward sex. Although virtually asexual herself, Kusama was an outspoken supporter of homosexuality and sexual liberation.

Kusama’s artistic talent was apparent from childhood. During her youth in Japan, she studied nihonga painting, pastel, and other traditional Japanese arts. Inspired by American artist Georgia O' Keeffe, Kusama went to New York in 1957 to experience creative freedom. The works she produced in the U.S. are diverse, including paintings, soft sculpture, performance art, installation, film, and other media. Her artistic styles and philosophies were similarly varied, including Popular Art, Feminism, Surrealism, Art Brut, Abstract Expressionism, and Happening, among others. Kusama’s works show personal spirituality and autobiographical elements. As she works, she connects to the mysterious world through spontaneous and unexpected urges, inner physical forces, and subconscious thoughts, creating her own expansive aesthetic universe. Her boundless passion for painting and her nearly religious reverence for art sustains her in her long battle against mental illness. Kusama’s primary artistic inspiration and aesthetic element is the polka dot, which was also an important symbol of the hippie era. Kusama was active in the international art scene in the 1960s, during the hippie era of sexual liberation and the anti-war movement. Known at the time as "Queen of the Dots", "Queen of the Hippies" or "Queen of the Avant-Garde", Kusama’s was almost as famous and influential as pop art icon Andy Warhol. The polka dot motif that appeared again and again in Kusama’s works also influenced the younger generation of contemporary artists including Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami. The pumpkin and flower motif is another life-long love of Kusama’s, hearkening back to the plants and seedlings in her family’s nursery. When she was 17 or 18, she made a Japanese traditional painting of several rows of pumpkins which won praise and awards. Explaining why she loves the pumpkin so much, she says it has a lovely shape, and its fat round belly gives her a deep sense of security. From 1967 to the early 1970s, Kusama became an environmental sculptor combining her work with "surprise" performance, creating works such as painting dots on naked human performers. To Kusama, by constantly painting the things that she feared and turning them into repetitive images that slowly envelops oneself, one can dissolve the self and the environment and return to the natural state of the universe. After living in New York for 17 years, Kusama returned to Japan in 1973 to settle down. In 1975 she began to make collages, and in 1979 began creating prints, then devoted herself to writing. In 1983, her novel The Hustler’s Grotto of Christopher Street won the Yasei Jidai Magazine 10th Literary Award for New Writers. Her life was full of incredible happenings. A few years after returning to Japan, she checked herself into a psychiatric hospital, but still maintained her routine of painting every day in the studio opposite the hospital, immersing herself in creation for at least eight hours a day. To this day, she still receives constant invitations to international exhibitions. Yayoi Kusama's popularity has steadily increased in the auction market since 2000. According to data provided by Artprice, a French art-market company, Yayoi Kusama’s Price Index has shown an upward trend since 2011. Rising prices have made it clear that collectors of Yayoi Kusama's early works can enjoy the value appreciation. In particular, limited-edition prints are highly sought-after, with over 2,500 transactions between 2000 and 2019. At an auction in London in January, the complete portfolio of ten screenprints Amour pour toujours sold for a record NT$8.1 million (about 200,000 pounds), nearly three times the estimated price, setting a record high for the artist's printwork.

五十二週的淬煉，成就歷久彌新的經典手機世代的來臨改變了攝影，智慧型手機隨拍即看、能馬上分享到社群網站的便利性，逐漸讓人們遺忘了家中傳統的相機，簡單快速的拍照方式成為大眾記錄影像的主流。然而，即便在數位化的攝影時代，依然有那麼一群人追求著極致影像的攝影態度，也依然有那麼一群人回應著這樣的期待，專注於細節，致力於提供玩家們最極致的攝影體驗—那便是被譽為相機界勞斯萊斯的「徠卡Leica」。徠卡在相機界的地位是神聖的，它不僅代表著德國精湛的機械與光學工藝，更代表著整個相機工藝的發展史。徠卡甚至改寫了攝影藝術的歷史，奠定了現今主流攝影多元題材的基礎。這樣的傳奇源自1914年，時任職於徠卡Leica的技師奧斯卡·巴納克(Oskar Barnack, 1879-1936)發明了全世界第一台使用35mm(24x36mm) 底片規格的相機，在此之前的相機由於大尺寸的底片

與容易破碎的玻璃底板底片，機身體積龐大笨重，因此攝影題材上往往侷限在靜止的景物。35mm底片規格的發明，使得相機開始可以被隨身攜帶，攝

影們更得以手持輕便的Leica 35mm相機捕捉決定性的那瞬間，全新的攝影方式自此被開創出來。被譽為二十世紀最偉大攝影家之一的亨利•卡爾布列松

(Henri Cartier-Bresson, 1908-2004)，便特別喜愛運用徠卡相機捕捉拍攝現場的自然光線之影像；二戰時期輕巧耐用的徠卡更成為軍用相機的首選，是戰地記者重要的拍攝工具。大文豪家海明威(Ernest Miller Hemingway, 1899-1961) 也是徠卡相機的愛用者。

1954年，徠卡M系列第一款機械式相機「M3」的問世再次帶來了劃時代的革命，它研發插刀式接環，使得小巧的相機能快速而便利地更換鏡頭；觀景窗與取景框線的合而為一，可進行自動視差校正；更出現了快速上片桿、新式快門轉盤、張數顯示與自動歸零、閃燈同步、和自拍裝置等設計。同時，它以超過1348個零組件高度精準地結合與表層堅固的金屬材料，使得相機即便在嚴苛的氣候中歷經數十年的使用仍能精準運作，成為攝影師們信賴的夥伴。徠卡M系列的設計讓攝影師愛不釋手，更是許多攝影人心目中的夢

幻藏品，一台最早期的M3機台曾於2012年WestLicht Photographica拍賣中，以

90萬歐元成交；而一台1956年推出，帶有快速過片裝置LEICAVIT的專業機型 MP(即M Perfect)，也在2015秋季的香港仕宏拍賣中，拍出逾港幣212萬的成績，足見徠卡M系列的經典與其在相機收藏界崇高的地位。

但是，徠卡的品牌高度並非僅來自於它的創新和技術，更源自於其精準而嚴謹的態度。每一顆徠卡鏡頭的製作耗時 52 週，從每一款鏡頭玻璃鏡片的不同配方調製、只靠經驗傳承的手工燒製與降溫，精密的玻璃切割與打磨拋光，鏡筒的製造和電鍍烤漆，再到最後堅持百年的全手工組裝，如此曠日耗時的製程為的就是打造一顆透光率、折射率近乎完美的高品質光學鏡頭，也正是因為徠卡堅持每個細節的用心，使得七八十年前出產的相機鏡頭至今依然能有出彩的表現，令人嘖嘖稱奇。 Leica M-Monochrom (TYP-246) 潛行限量版

徠卡相機的每一次革新都改變了人們對攝影的定義，許多攝影師是徠卡的愛用者，更有人認為每一部Leica都有著自己的靈魂，它會帶著它的主人去看見別人看不到的決定性瞬間，因而終其一生僅使用一部徠卡相機。對於收藏家而言，徠卡相機更有著無法被取代的時代意義，每一個型號都在攝影史上留下獨具風格的篇章，而每一台徠卡相機也都有著獨一無二的機身編號；除此之外，Leica除了會在品牌周年推出限量相機如2014年發表的Leica M Edition一百週年紀念套組，

也會與世界知名品牌跨界合作推出限量相機，像是 2012 年與

Hermès 聯名推出的 M9-P 限量版以及由紐約時尚品牌 Rag &

Bone 創始人 Marcus Wainwright 設計推出的螢光綠塗料徠卡 M Monochrom（Typ 246）「潛行」特別版(Stealth Edition)，每一

部相機都是全世界徠卡迷心目中的夢幻逸品。

威士忌時間淬鍊出的完美正如同徠卡打造鏡頭的曠日費時，每一瓶送到愛好者手中的威士忌，也都歷經了一段漫長的歲月，從發麥、烘乾、磨碎、發酵、蒸餾、橡木桶陳年，再到最後的裝瓶，最少也要歷經三年的時間，也就是一千多個日子；然而，若談到賦予威士忌風味的重要元素之一的橡木桶，那麼追溯起一瓶酒的產生，還得將時間推回到橡木桶還未成形之時。林一峰老師在《尋找屬於自己的 12 使徒》中提到，麥卡倫應該是全蘇格蘭對雪莉桶最為執著的酒廠。是的，正如同徠卡相機百年來專注於細節的工藝，麥卡倫從最一開始橡木桶的製作便花上巨大的心力，不同於大部分酒廠直接向桶商購買空桶，麥卡倫酒廠與特定的西班牙桶商合作，量身打造屬於麥卡倫的雪莉桶，組合成橡木桶的每一片橡木板都經過特殊角度的裁切與兩年以上自然環境的日曬風吹雨淋，漫長的自然風乾為的就是讓橡木中的單寧和雜味以最自然的方式柔化，爾後還要用水與火進行桶子的形塑，在桶廠工匠的揮汗如雨中，溫和的火烤彎曲了木板，同時也為木頭帶來了堅果與巧克力的迷人風味，從源頭的橡木桶品質建構起麥卡倫對風味的堅持。 The Macallan Masters of Photography Series Annie Leibovitz Edition

名於世的攝影大師Elliott Erwitt，用他敏銳的鏡頭捕捉了蘇格蘭美麗的景致與風

土民情，向世人展示了孕育著威士忌這美妙產物的這塊大地。第五、第六、第七代……，在攝影大師們的鏡頭下，綿延百年的橡木旅程仍在進行。已故的威士忌酒評家麥可•傑克森(Michael Jackson, 1942-2007)在他的著作

《麥芽威士忌指南 Malt Whisky Companion》中，將麥卡倫評為威士忌界中的勞斯萊斯，更給予所有他喝過的麥卡倫酒款極高的評分。過去幾年麥卡倫更一躍成了市場的寵兒，全球拍賣市場上無論銷售總量或銷售總金額都蟬聯多年榜首，

2018年11月在佳士德倫敦的一場拍賣會上，一瓶1926年蒸餾的麥卡倫60年更以 120萬英鎊(相當台幣4700多萬)的價格落槌，榮登全球威士忌的王座。

紀實攝影大師Bresson曾說：「攝影隨時都有一種安靜的不安…等待決定的瞬間」，徠卡相機的發明讓捕捉剎那的永恆成為可能，但攝影依然是一段孤獨而漫長的修行，一段完美一瞬到來前的等待；正如威士忌從橡木桶製作、發酵蒸餾、到橡木桶陳年，每一個環節都是一場充滿變數的等待，等待時間將一切元素凝為美妙的永恆，時間淬鍊出的完美才真正撼動人心。

FIFTY-TWO WEEKS OF TEMPERING, A CLASSIC THAT LASTS FOREVER

Mobile phones have brought the modern photo shooting to a

new era. While smart phones can take, browse and upload photos to social media at ease, it has becoming the mainstream of photography, replacing the old-fashioned cameras. However, there are still some people pursuing the ultra-image filming and, at the same time, there are another group of people responding to the needs. The Leica earns the nickname “the Rolls Royce of cameras” by its focus on the most meticulous detail to provide the ultimate photo-shooting experience for photography geeks. Leica plays a divine role in cameras. It represents not only the superb German mechanism and optics, but also the entire history of

Leica M9-P “Edition Hermès”

camera craftsmanship. Leica even changed the history of photography, and laid the foundation of current mainstream photography. The legend began in 1914, while Oskar Barnack (1879-1936), one of Leica’s technicians, invented the first ever camera that uses 35mm (24x36mm) films. Cameras before that were extremely bulky and used giant and brittle glass films, which restricted the themes of photography to stationary scenes and objects. The invention of the 35mm film makes cameras portable. Photographers can use Leica 35mm to capture the exact moments. The new era of photography thus began. . Henri Cartier-Bresson (19082004), one of the greatest photographers of 20th century, was known for using only one camera, a Leica rangefinder, and one lens, a 50mm, for almost all of his life’s work. With its lightweight and excellent durability, the Leica is used by military and war correspondents during World War II. Ernest Miller Hemingway (18991961) was also a fan of Leica cameras.

However, Leica’s sublime position comes not only from its innovation and technology, but its precision and rigorous attitude. It takes fifty-two weeks to craft a Leica lens from the making formulas of different types of lenses, firing and cooling manually with years of experience, cutting and polishing of glass, crafting and electroplating lens tube before finally assembled by hands. This manufacturing process, although time-consuming, has been followed for one hundred years and is the key to Leica’s highquality lenses with nearly perfect light transmittance and refractive index. With Leica’s dedication toward details, old lenses from seventy or even eighty years ago still perform amazingly outstanding today. Every innovation of Leica cameras redefines photography.

In 1954, the birth of Leica’s first M-series mechanical camera, M3, brought another revolution. Its bayonet mount makes it easier and more convenient to switch lenses. Its framing chart is merged into the viewing window with automatic parallax correction. New features include quick release lever, new shutter dial, film number display, auto zero, synchronized flash, and self-timer. The camera is precisely assembled with more than 1348 metallic components that makes it durable after decades of usage under harsh climates, and has become photographers’ most credible partner. The design of Leica M-series is highly admired that they soon became dream collection of photographers. One of the earliest built M3 model received a hammer price of nine-hundred thousand Euros at WestLicht Photographica auction in 2012. A 1956 LEICAVIT MP (M Perfect) with fast filming device was sold for 2.12 million HKD at L&H Autumn Auction in 2015. Leica’s M-series is an absolute classic, majestic collection among all

Photographers adore Leica, and some of them even believe that each Leica camera has its own spirit that will bring its owner to an unseen decisive moment. That is why some people use only one Leica camera for their entire professional lives. Leica has an unreplaceable historical position for camera collectors. Each Leica camera has a distinct serial number, and each model has earned themselves spectacular positions in the history of photography. Other than that, Leica also releases limited editions on brand anniversaries, such as the 100th anniversary Leica M edition in 2014. They also raise crossindustry cooperation with big brands such as Leica M9-P Hermès Edition in 2012 and the neon-green-painted Leica M-Monochrom special “Stealth Edition” designed by the co-founder of the fashion brand Rag & Bone, Marcus Wainwright. Every Leica camera is a dream collectables for Leica fans all over the world.

Then the wooden plates are taken to the factories for shaping with water and fire. The hard-working carpenters use mild fire to bend the wooden plates, and bring a charming chocolate and nutty aroma to the wood. The quality of the oak barrels is the foundation of the Macallan’s definition of whisky. In 2009, the Macallan decided to film the process for their customers, and that was the birth of the Macallan Masters of Photography series. The Macallan’s first Master of Photography was directed by Scottish photographer Rankin. He used polaroid and captured a thousand moments of the Macallan’s distillery and superb craftsmanship. The Macallan’s next Master of Photography was featured by Scottish legendary photographer Albert Watson. He used black and white photos of Oaks forest in northern Spain, the traditional barrel factory of Jerez, the hometown of Shirley, and the Macallan’s iconic Easter Elchies house to create The Macallan’s Great Adventure. The third imagery set of the series was directed by the most influential female photographer of the 21st century, Annie Leibovitz. She uses different camera angles to present the different impressions of each oak barrel. The forth photo set of the series was directed by Elliott Erwitt, who is best known for his ability of capturing “The Decisive Moment”. He used his sensitive camera to show the world the land where splendid whisky is made by capturing the stunning scenery and culture of Scotland. The fifth, the sixth, the seventh… etc. The journey of Oak goes on after hundreds of years under the lenses of photograph masters.

2016年，英國報紙Daily Mail刊出一則帶著飽滿英式嘲諷，卻仍然充滿仰慕之情的報導，記述一位強調自己名不見經傳的作者如何走進愛馬仕的店面，一開口就詢問可否購買鉑金包或凱莉包，又如何受到店員禮貌回絕的故事。文章裡還收錄了其他女性的經驗，似乎每位顧客都聽過關於秘密貴賓名冊的流言，帶著姑且嘗試的心情走進大門，儘管因為著名包款的稀缺而碰了各式各樣的釘子，卻也欣然接受這段新鮮的體驗。至於文章作者本人，一方面則驚喜於專賣店櫃員的細心服務，另一方面卻也為了店員婉拒她想預購指定包款的意願而大失所望。根據愛馬仕對外的說法，各門市部主管是每季型號訂購的決策者。在訂購之後約半年到一年才會到貨。愛馬仕至今仍保持手工師傅

In 2016, the Englandbased Daily Mail published a report, full of British-style caricature but also lingered with admiration. The narrative is about how a self-proclaimed « ordinary woman » walked somewhat blatantly into the boutique of Hermès in London, with the intention to buy a Birkin or a Kelly, and received a polite yet fully expected decline by the sales assistant. In the same article, other women with the same ambition have explained their passing to the author. It was as if every customer has heard the rumors of a secret VIP waiting list, but still budging in to try her hand; and although the rarity of these precious objets essentially made them meet with a rejection, the women are speaking of these experiences with glee. As the author, she was of course rather enjoyed the delicate reception service, but undoubtedly disapointed by the refusal of her wish to order a bag with specifications. According to Hermès toward the medias, it is the director of each boutique who makes the decision of the orders for the next season. The order would be fulfilled 6-12 months later. Hermès holds dear the tradition of the artisan making his or her’s own craft without division of work, and therefore every bag is unique or even perculiar in it’s own right. However, it’s quite a pity that the author’s passion did not support her to ask a bit further. As the matter of fact, there IS an atelier established solely for customization purposes. Just on the floors of the famous flagship boutique on the Rue Faubourg Saint Honoré. So much peculiar as these series of Hermès’ bags, ego-centric celebrities around the world can only grasp on every opportunities to eventually express themselves with these luxuries. The enthusiasts in the Kardashian family continuously exhibit their Hermès bags with all kinds of modifications or sketches; Lady Gaga invited her japanese « little monsters » to sign with her on a white Birkins; Francesca Eastwood, daughter of Clint Eastwood, even gave her crocodile skin Birkin worthy of $100,000 to be destroyed by her boyfriend in a performance of art.

Among them, a total of more than 80 pieces of modern calligraphy and paintings were produced from the “Three Crossers of the Sea” Zhang Daqian, Pu Hsinyu, and Huang Chun-Pi, as well as famous Taiwanese ink masterpieces. The highlight of this auction’s “Refined Brushwork: Fine Chinese Paintings” include Peonies – the collaborated work by Zhang Daqian and Pu Hsinyu.

作家海岩曾經說有一部讓他熱血沸騰的微電影，用他自己的話形容，到了「每一個汗毛孔都向外張開」的程度。收藏明式家具近二十年的海岩，看到鍾愛之物在大螢幕上閃耀，似乎比見證他的小說捧紅影視明星還要興奮。這部電影，沒有劇情，沒有人物，主角是椅子、案子、桌子、櫃子——十餘件黃花梨明式家具，這些與生活起居相關的器物，在瞬息萬變的自然光映照之下，吐納呼吸，彷彿有了生命一般。這部微電影叫做《嘉木萬重光》，導演是來自香港的伍嘉恩小姐，全球知名的明式家具收藏家與鑑賞家。

明式家具的收藏趨勢最近十年，隨著中國文物藝術品買家人數與購買力不斷攀升，尤其在西方的拍賣場上，風頭無二，全球明式家具的收藏版圖重心開始向中國回歸。中國客人對包括明式家具在內的古代文物、近現代書畫的熱情追逐，與日本20世紀80年代末90 年代初的藝術品購買浪潮有些類似，但勢頭更為洶湧。並且，來自上海、浙江等地的明式家具新興藏家，由最初「只買不用」的投資逐利漸漸過渡到「買了即用」的收藏理念，醞釀著質的飛躍。然而，一些認識上的誤區，導致明式家具收藏圈難以與火熱的書畫市場比肩，甚至比瓷器市場還要「曲高和寡」：首先是價格，並非所有的明式家具都是高不可攀，拍場上製造天價的那些明式家具往往都是造型獨特、雕龍刻鳳的孤品，而數量占絕大多數的標準器，比如線條簡潔、紋飾素雅的圈椅、夾頭榫平頭案、束腰馬蹄足八仙桌等，其價值仍被市場低估，其次是知識門檻，明式家具中的標準器，與世界各大博物館藏品 17世紀黃花梨拱形棖條桌 L : 105 cm W: 47 cm H : 81 cm 羅芙奧2018春「清賞—古今人文藝術專場」

喻氏在扇面的畫紙，以沒骨筆法寫繪暈染繡球花，寫繪枝葉的正反面，運用白粉或墨色勾勒葉的枝脈。在喻氏工筆畫稿中有記載，紅梅雀以洋紅或硃砂分染，再以朱標平染，最後以洋紅提鉤細毛，才能表現毛茸之感，梅花雀以其身上有斑似梅，再點以白粉而成。

工筆畫的歷史工筆畫的歷史十分悠久，在中國繪畫史中，大筆觸的寫意畫法產生和成熟得比較晚，基本上是宋以後的事，在此之前，中國繪畫基本屬於工整細緻的工筆畫。在湖南長沙的戰國楚墓帛畫《龍鳳人物圖》和《人物禦龍圖》，是迄今能見到最早的具有獨立意義的繪畫作品，可以說中國傳統工筆人物畫初步的基本面貌，工筆畫就是以「線條」與「色彩」為最主要的元素。工筆畫發展到了唐代，風格較以前更多的關注細節，注重寫實，對於筆法的細緻度與描寫性特別深刻，如周昉的《簪花仕女圖》與《揮扇仕女圖》，以及張萱的《搗練圖》與《虢國夫人游春圖》等，描繪的都是現實生活，可看出唐代使用「盡其精微」的手段，通過線條與高度的運用色彩，獲取神態形體的完美。工筆畫在唐代盛行起來，歸咎於材料的進步，工筆須畫在經過膠礬加工過的絹或宣紙上。初唐時期因絹料的改善而對工筆畫的發展，據米芾《畫史》所載：「古畫至唐初皆生絹，至吳生、周、韓斡，後來皆以熱湯半熟，入粉捶如銀板，故作人物，精彩入筆。」到了宋代，工筆花鳥畫達到極致，是因為宋代畫院的成立，集合了西蜀、南唐與吳越各地畫家之精英，畫院體制經完善的改革，也提供這些畫家良好的了創作環境；而宋徽宗本人就是一位文化涵養非常好的作畫高手，他對工筆花鳥畫的熱愛，以至將工筆畫推向高峰。到了明代，仇英的人物畫堪稱工筆畫的重要代表，在他的畫作中，人物形象精確，工細雅秀，色彩鮮艷，同時樓閣庭院嚴謹周密，刻畫入微。明末以後，隨著西洋繪畫技法傳入中國，中西繪畫開始相互借鑑，從而使工筆畫的創作在造型更加準確的同時，保持了線條的自然流動和內容的詩情畫意。

台灣工筆畫發展的情形在清時期，台灣地區的繪畫承襲清代以來的傳統風格，以閩福建與上海金石派畫風都有，甲午戰後，日本統治台灣，以日本當時的繪畫風格傳入台灣，所繪以膠敷彩的工筆畫為典型的工筆重彩畫法，雖受日本影響，但仍繼承中國傳統繪畫的本質，在重視鄉土風貌與寫生精神的主導下，融入西畫取景的構圖及表現空間的技法，畫風極為穠麗細緻，畫面氣韻的營造，擺脫傳統臨古僵化之病，深具有本土的藝術風貌，在台灣美術發展中形成一種特殊的繪畫風格。二次戰後，渡台畫家抵台，其中不乏有精於工筆畫的大家，如張大千、溥心畬、金勤伯等，來台灣後持續設帳課徒或進學校任教，推廣工筆藝術，可以說台灣工筆畫則有承襲日本膠彩工筆的繪畫風格與渡台的傳統工筆畫風共同並存又融合其中，形成有別於傳統而又具現代意味的繪畫風貌。

工筆畫的市場行情為什麼工筆畫拍賣不斷創出新高? 由於工筆畫創作周期長，實際能創作的時間受限於身體狀況，為了達到精細的效果，工筆畫畫起來也特別耗費體力，不僅要求線條極為精到，反覆渲染六七遍也是常事，因此特別能看出一個畫家的功底。所以張大千晚年有了眼疾之後，轉而去畫潑彩；齊白石晚年也不再畫精微的小蟲，因為眼神和體力都吃不消了。再者，藝術家數量不多，作品在市場上的流通也比較少。與寫意畫相比，其成交率和成交值都普遍比較高。同一位畫家，工筆畫的價格至少在寫意畫價格的數倍以上。

筆精墨妙，氣雅韻深喻仲林先生的工筆畫說到渡台的工筆畫家就不能不介紹這位工筆畫家。喻仲林生於1925年，山東人，1985年辭世。喻仲林幼年失去雙親，依附舅

暇之餘至師大藝術系當旁聽生，當時藝壇風尚偏重水墨寫意，彩墨工筆畫日趨式微。喻仲林拜金勤伯先生為師，奠定了工筆的基礎。喻仲林「苦畫」有成，他能夠從金勤伯老師習畫三年即可賣畫，可見他除天資聰穎與戮力學習之用功外，其構圖的嚴謹與色喻仲林《鳳仙雀鳥圖》水墨設色絹本 31 x 65 cm 款識：仲林。鈐印：喻（白文）羅芙奧台北2019春季拍賣會翰墨丹青—中國書畫專場

彩的渾然天成，雖重彩而不俗不艷，設色繁而能簡，艷而能清，被譽為當代的工筆大師，也將工筆畫的鮮麗細緻與文人水墨畫的意寫趣味融合，是喻先生畫面特色，也是最引人之處。
