至少成交七、八百件以上,總成交額約兩億美元,名列全球十大暢銷藝 術家排行,且成交率高達九成,穩坐無數收藏家心中夢幻名單地位。 本人曾於《Ravenel》新季刊 2012 年春季創刊號「藝術與投資」專 欄中力推草間彌生,發表一篇〈圓點女王—草間彌生:無限延伸的藝術 行情〉文章,介紹其藝術與市場概況。十年光陰匆匆流逝,年歲已高的 藝術大師儘管行動不便,仍勤於創作,別無他求,滿懷愛與和平的赤子 之心,打動了全球的草間迷。回顧過去十年的市場行情,除了 2019 年 受新冠疫情影響有所修正之外,草間彌生的行情幾乎一路看漲。根據 Artprice.com 統計數據,過往十年她的價格指數 price index 從 239.96 成長至 851.34 成長有 255% 之多,平均漲幅 2.5 倍。回顧 2021 年草間 作品的全球拍賣交易,版畫作品幾乎佔去一半的份額(398/841),足 見版畫作品市場的規模。 2022 年 新 春 開 始, 讓 我 們 來 談 談 草 間 彌 生 的 複 數 藝 術, 版 畫 以 及限量雕塑,合計絕對超過她個人半數的市場規模。複數藝術原本是 小 資 收 藏 家 入 門 的 好 方 法, 版 畫 收 藏 頗 有 歷 史, 提 供 預 算 有 限 的 藏 家 有 利 的 機 會, 保 存 與 維 護 成 本 相 對 輕 鬆 許 多。 蝕 刻 版 畫 etching、 石 版 畫 lithograph、 木 刻 版 畫 wood cut、 絲 網 版 畫 screenprint、 壓 花 embossing,為藝術家與專業版畫工作室密切合作而成。隨著藝術家市 場行情增長,版畫價值也隨之增加。而如今,草間彌生的版畫價格已非 小資藏家足以負擔,動則數萬美元起跳,全球限量 60 件的《永遠的愛》 (Amour pour Toujours)一套 10 幅圖樣的版畫集,2021 年 10 月 19 日 在紐約拍出 46 萬 6200 美元(約 1300 萬台幣)的新高價。最貴的草間 彌生單幅版畫《南瓜黑色》發行 ed. 8+AP4+HC4),價值 2299 萬日幣(20 萬 1208 美元或 563 萬台幣),也是在 2021 年 11 月 18 日由東京伊斯 特拍賣 New Art Est-Ouest 拍出。

草間彌生《穿鞋去田野》1979 第一張版畫作品 The first print work of Yayoi Kusama, Going to the Field with Shoes on, 1979
1979-2004)(341 張圖版)首版發行,日英雙語編年目錄,非常受 歡迎,2011 年、2013 與 2017 年又增補作品重新發行,現今最完整的 內容為 2017 年版本。在《草間彌生全版畫》(Yayoi Kusama Prints 1979-2017)一(457 張圖版)的前言中,她曾經寫下「自從我被版畫 的魅力所吸引,我一直在製作版畫,不斷地被製作過程中所產生的光 彩所震撼。」的字句。因此,可以在三、四十年間不斷投身版畫創作, 華美精緻的版畫主題豐富,本身就是藝術品的化身。 她的理念是:「在藝術創作裡,每天從人們日常活動中發現生命, 人們的存在是短暫的。我不斷地回首過去的日子,提醒自己,版畫是 生命無盡的足跡。帶著這樣的想法,我不斷地藉由版畫將我對萬物無 盡的、強烈的情感傳遞給許多人,大量地複製它們。我全心全意地為 愛它們的人創作版畫。每當我從事版畫工作時,都滿懷著希望,能以 深刻、直接、純粹的方式,將我的思想清朗地傳達給人們。這是何以 我能持續創作版畫。我希望製作無數複數的相同視野,擴展至全世界, 正是我對造形藝術的追求。」 基於追尋造形之美的熱誠,樂於與他人分享,1979 年她發行了第 一幅版畫作品《穿鞋去田野》絲網版畫。從 1979-2017 年間一共發行 了 457 件版畫,創造力豐沛。其中含有以「南瓜」為主題共計有 99 幅, 足見南瓜在她心中的分量。花田蔬果苗圃,都來自於她的童年家庭記 憶。少女時期她曾在京都學習日本畫,描繪過幾個橫列的南瓜,獲得 讚美。造型圓胖可愛的南瓜,帶給草間彌生溫暖與安定救贖的感覺, 詩意的平靜,轉化為神聖的精神寄託,給予受盡精神疾病折磨的她繼 續前進的動力,而南瓜終其一生都是她創作的主題。

其 實 在 紐 約 時 期, 草 間 彌 生 曾 在 她 1963 年 裝 置 作 品《 千 船 會 》 (Aggregation: One Thousand Boats Show)中加入版畫元素,999 張印 著船隻圖樣的石版畫貼滿畫廊牆面,裝載銀色陽具般軟雕塑的船隻,組 成視覺張力強大的場景。1982 年草間彌生在日本舉辦的回顧展,儘管 曾在紐約擁有極高知名度,但她的藝術尚未獲得認可,版畫在當時也只 作為展覽佈景,一直到她認識版畫師岡部 Tokuzo Okabe 之後,才將版 畫視為獨立的藝術作品,與岡部版畫工作室合作多年。期間也曾與版畫 師木村希八 Kihachi Kimura 合作蝕刻銅版畫,還有石田 Ishida Ryoichi 和下岡 Shimooka Yoshiaki 合作絲網版畫與石版畫等。 除此之外,1998 年草間彌生認識了原本在法國從事傳統版畫的弗 蘭克.里瓦 Frank Riva,他娶了大阪女子 Misa 為妻,以夫妻名字縮寫 成立公司—FMR Trading Limited(Les Editions d'FMR)。草間與里瓦 彼此理念契合,後來展開多次合作計畫,特別是草間期待能與巴黎藝壇 交流:如與巴黎鑄幣廠(La Monnaie de Paris)打造知名桌上型銅雕南 瓜,利摩日 Limoges 五色陶瓷南瓜組之外。特別一提,草間彌生目前 最貴的版畫集《永遠的愛》,也由 FMR 發行。草間彌生的版畫從數十 萬台幣至數百萬元不等,南瓜題材永遠最受歡迎。
限量雕塑美感延伸 草間彌生是一位多元發展型的藝術家,除了繪畫、立體作品亦頗為 出色。由於雕塑與裝置類作品需要較大空間,多屬於為展覽或特定計畫 所作,早期結合行為表演,她創作過無數精彩的裝置作品,名留美術史 頁。後期與主力代理畫廊大田秀則畫廊(Ota Fine Arts,1995 年合作至 今),以及海外代理如維多利亞.米羅畫廊(Victoria Miro Gallery, 1998 年合作至今)、高古軒畫廊(Gagosian Gallery,合作期間 20092012)、卓納畫廊(David Zwiner Gallery,2013 年合作至今)協力合作, 因應博物館機構、雙年展、藝博會與特定藏家的需求,創作如大南瓜雕 塑、結合壓克力油畫與人像如維納斯雕塑、花卉雕塑、小狗雕塑、圓球、 家具等等。而與 2012 年草間與時尚品牌 Louis Vuitton 合作,結合大型 展覽,推出點點包、服飾商品與版畫套書的發行,蔚為風行。 13

她的一生自戀 • 你我的永恆敬意 回顧草間彌生的一生,痛苦的時刻多過歡樂。她曾說每天都有想死 的念頭,但是勇敢地靠藝術活到現在,九十三年的奮鬥時光,多麼令人 感動。1929 年出生於日本長野縣松本市,一富裕之家,童年深受父母 失和的創傷折磨,很早患有偏執的強迫症,總感受異於常人的幻境與視 野。1957 年飛往美國展開藝術冒險,參與 1950-1970 年代蓬勃的美國 當代美術運動,嶄露其自由創新精神。1973 年才返回日本。 草間彌生從 1977 年自願住進療養院,至今仍以療養院為家。雖是 病人,平日通勤到療養院附近的三層樓小屋畫畫,從早上九點半到下午 六點,除用餐和少數必要的交談,都坐在二樓工作室畫桌前。周末助手 們休假,或者天候不佳時,她則留在小病房內繼續畫畫。 創作使她能延續生命,一輩子過得比誰都精彩,除了繪畫、素描、 雕塑、電影、行為表演、沉靜式裝置,還擅長寫作小說、時尚設計等。 她無比的自信自戀,在她的世界裡沒有人比她美麗。 ▲

她的藝術成就在晚年時期益加輝煌! 1993 年終於代表日本參加威 尼斯雙年展,成為全屆最火紅的藝術家。2011 年起,歐洲大規模的回 顧展於此展開:馬德里索菲亞皇后美術館、巴黎龐畢度中心;2012 年 在倫敦泰特美術館、紐約惠特尼美術館。且在亞洲和中南美洲的主要博 物館有全面性的回顧展;挪威、瑞典、華盛頓特區、西雅圖、多倫多、 台灣、新加坡、雅加達、澳洲昆士蘭、韓國與日本等。 《時代雜誌》在 2016 年評選草間彌生為百位影響人物之一。2017 年東京建立了草間彌生美術館,表彰其藝術成就與貢獻;近期如 2018

Kusama. Along with stories about the typhoon and her retrospective exhibition at a museum, the news reported that the value of Kusama has been called the "most expensive female artist alive." In autumn 2008, collections compiled over half a century by artist Donald Judd (1928–1994), Kusama's long-deceased good friend, went on the market. Kusama's white Infinity Nets oil painting series "No. 2" sold at auction for a record-setting US$5.792 million. Even though this occurred during the financial crisis, Kusama still holds that record today. Polka dots are Kusama's obsession, and pumpkins are her representative symbols. In recent years, the new art market economy has grown. Kusama's arts, both antiquated and fashionable, continue to attract new generations of collectors. On December 1, 2021, two polka-dot pumpkin pieces consecutively set record highs
for Kusama's paintings and sculptures: HK$62.54 million (US$8,058,937 or NT$224 million) and HK$55.45 million (US$7,145,314 or NT$200 million), respectively. According to a report by Artprice.com, In 2021, over 700 or 800 of Kusama's works are sold at auction, with sales totaling approximately US$200 million. This figure makes her one of the ten bestselling artists worldwide, with a transaction rate of 90%. Kusama has a stable spot on the wish lists of numerous collectors. I strongly promoted Kusama's works in the Arts and Investment column in the first issue of Ravenel , a quarterly first published in spring 2012, in an article titled "Bullish Outlook for Works by Yayoi Kusama ‘The Queen of Polka Dots'". In that article, I introduced her works and the market view. Ten years have passed since then. Although Kusama is advanced in age and mobility-challenged, she still diligently creates new artworks, not to meet any particular goal but to satisfy her child-like heart, which seeks love and peace. Her diligence has moved Kusama fans worldwide. In the last decade, except for in 2019, when the market price was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of Kusama's works has been constantly rising. According to Artprice.com, in the last decade, the price index of her work increased from 239.96 to 851.34, which is a growth of 255%, or an average increase of over 2.5 times. In the global auctions of Kusama's work in 2021, prints accounted for nearly half of the works (398/841), reflecting the scale of the print market.

[ ART & INVESTMENT ] English chronologies and became extremely popular. In 2011, 2013, and 2017, more works were included, and new editions were printed. The most comprehensive edition to date is the 2017 edition. In the preface of Yayoi Kusama Prints 1979-2017 (457 prints), Kusama stated, "I have been making prints ever since I was captivated by their allure, and am constantly overwhelmed by the brilliance arising from within the process of making them." Thus, her continuous devotion to creating prints with splendid and intricate topics for 30 or 40 years is in itself an art. Her ideal is, "In creating art, every day is a discovery of life amidst the daily activity of people whose existence is ephemeral. I keep looking back on my bygone days, reminding myself that prints are the endless footsteps of life. With this thought, I keep on sending to many people my inexhaustible, intense feelings toward all things through prints, duplicating them in large numbers. I create prints with all my heart for the people who love them. Whenever I work on prints, I am filled with a wish to convey to the people my thought in a deep, straight and pure way with clear brightness. This is why I can keep creating prints. I wish to make countless duplicates of the same visual field and spread them across the world. This is my longing for formative arts." As spring 2022 begins, we should discuss Kusama's multiples,

prints and editioned sculptures, which together account for over half of her personal works on the market. Multiples used to be a good method through which collectors of limited means could start building their collections. The collection of prints has a long history, offering collectors with budget limitations favorable opportunities because preserving and maintaining them have relatively low costs. Etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, silkscreens, and embossing are the results of close collaboration between artists and professional print studios. As the market value of an artist grows, the value of the prints also increases. Today, Kusama's prints are no longer affordable to collectors of limited means—they begin at tens of thousands of US dollars. For example, "Amour pour Toujours", a limited edition print with only edition of 60 worldwide, sold at auction for a new high of US$466,200 (approximately NT$13 million) on October 19, 2021. The most expensive print, Kusama's single-print Pumpkin Black (ed. 8+AP4+HC4), sold for JPY22.99 million (US$201,208 or NT$5.63 million) on November 18, 2021, at the New Art Est-Ouest in Tokyo.
Prints are the endless footsteps of life Kusama has preserved a comprehensive collection of files and photos, and she greatly values where her creations end up. Even for multiples, she records in detail the number of each piece produced and its details, assembling them into a book. In 2005, "All Prints of Yayoi
Kusama 1979-2004 " (341 prints) was first issued with both Japanese and

In 1998, Kusama met Frank Riva, who was making traditional prints in France. He was married to Misa, a woman from Osaka, and he founded a company using their initials as the name: FMR Trading Limited (Les Editions d'FMR). Kusama and Riva had matching ideals, and they collaborated several times. Specifically, Kusama wished to engage in exchanges with the Paris art scene. For example, she collaborated with La Monnaie de Paris and created the famous desk-top version of the bronze pumpkin sculptures. She also created the Limoges five-color ceramic pumpkin sets. Notably, the most expensive printing collection of Kusama to date, "Amour pour Toujours," was also issued by FMR. Kusama's prints are worth hundreds of thousands to millions of Taiwan dollars. Those featuring pumpkins are always the most popular ones. With a passion to seek beauty in form and a willingness to share, in 1979, Kusama issued her first print work, "Going to the Field with Shoes on", a silkscreen. Between 1979 and 2017, she released 457 prints, reflecting her ample creativity. Among them, 99 featured pumpkins, clearly reflecting the importance of pumpkins in her mind. She derived the flower beds and vegetable gardens from her childhood memories of her family. As a teenager, she studied Japanese painting in Kyoto. She once earned praise for depicting several pumpkins in a row. The round, fat, cute little pumpkins brought Kusama a feeling of warmth, stability, and redemption. That poetic tranquility was transformed into holy spiritual sustenance, offering Kusama, who was tortured by mental illness, the motivation she needed to keep moving forward. Throughout her life, pumpkins have been a constant focus of her creations.
Editioned Sculptures Kusama is an artist with diverse developments. In addition to her paintings, her three-dimensional works are also outstanding. Because sculptures and art installations take up a large amount of space, they are mostly produced for exhibitions or special projects. In her early years, she integrated performance arts and created countless art installations, cementing her place in art history. In her later years, she has mainly collaborated with her primary agency, Ota Fine Arts (who has represented her since 1995), and overseas agencies such as the Victoria Miro Gallery (since 1998), the Gagosian Gallery (2009 to 2012), and the David Zwiner Gallery (since 2013). Through these collaborations, she has created works to meet the demands of museums, biennales, art exhibitions, and the demands of certain collectors. These works have included gigantic

New York, her art was not approved, and her prints were only used as the setting for the exhibition. Only when she met the print artist Tokuzo Okabe did she consider her prints as independent artworks, and she worked with Okabe's print studio for many years. During this period, she also collaborated with print artist Kihachi Kimura to produce copper plate etchings and with Ishida Ryoichi and Shimooka Yoshiaki to produce silkscreens and lithographs.

[ ART & INVESTMENT ]
Her life-long narcissism, and our eternal respect Kusama's life has been filled with more pain than pleasure. She has said that she feels like ending her life every day. However, she bravely clings to life through her art. She has been fighting for 93 years—a thought that gives one pause. Born in 1929 to a rich family in Matsumoto in the Nagano prefecture of Japan, she had a childhood filled with trauma and torture due to her parents' marital discord. She developed paranoid obsessive-compulsive disorder early on, and she constantly experienced abnormal illusions and visions. In 1957, she flew to the United States to start her art adventure. She was a member of the contemporary art movement in the United States from the 1950s to the 1970s, revealing her free innovative spirit. She returned to Japan in 1973. In 1977, Kusama volunteered to move into an extended care facility, and she remains in such care to this day. Despite being a patient, she commutes every weekday to a three-story building near the nursing home to paint from 9:30 am to 6 pm. Except for dining and handling a few necessary conversations, she remains in front of her painting table in her studio on the second floor. On weekends, when her assistants are on leave or the weather is inclement, she stays in her small room in the nursing home and keeps painting. The creative process allows her to continue her life. She has had a life more splendid than anyone else's. In addition to creating paintings, sketches, sculptures, movies, performing arts, and immersive installations, she is also a skilled author of fiction and fashion designer. In her world, her incomparable self-confidence and narcissism make her more beautiful than anyone else. Her artistic achievements were even more glorious in her later years. In 1993, she represented Japan at the Venice Biennale, where she was the most popular artist of the exhibition. In 2011, her large-scale retrospective exhibition was featured in Europe at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid and the Centre Pompidou in Paris; in 2012, at Tate Modern in London, and at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Moreover, she also had comprehensive retrospective exhibitions in Asia and in Central and South America, as well as in Norway, Sweden, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Toronto, Taiwan, Singapore, Jakarta, Australia, South Korea, and Japan.

Times Magazine listed Kusama as one of the most influential people of 2016. In 2017, the Yayoi Kusama Museum was founded in Tokyo to foreground her artistic achievements and contributions. In more recent years, such as 2018, her works were included in the New York MoMA PS1. In 2021, her works were exhibited in Berlin. In 2022, large-scale exhibitions are to be held in Tel Aviv-Yafo in Israel and in Tate Modern in London. Kusama, who has long been considered one of the best female artists in the world, has long fulfilled the dream she pursued as a young woman.

[ THE ARTIST ]
Bernhardt's creative and personal charisma have injected new energy into American contemporary art. Featuring flowing, vibrant paints, her flexible pen strokes and bold candid themes, such as toilet paper, Scotch Tape, running shoes, watermelons, aliens, toucans, cigarettes, and coronavirus are truly impressive. The sense of delight in her work is a common language in this era of globalization. Bernhardt's artistic aesthetics is unrestrained, chaotic, yet glamorous like a bowl of lavish fruit salad. Her Brooklyn apartment is filled with the works of her artist friends, while her Missouri studio has also hosted craft fairs for handwoven products. Bernhardt holds a passionate, open attitude towards both art and life. She has traveled across Morocco, Vienna, Greece, Puerto Rico, as well as created ceramics in Mexico before returning to St. Louis to upgrade exhibition spaces and paint large murals. "I'm satisfied and yet never satisfied," she says. "I don't like to waste time. Life is short, so I always try to do as much as possible." Bernhardt's works are in the possession of public organizations, such as the Carnegie Museum, High Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Rubell Collection, Portland Museum of Art, and San Antonio Museum of Art. In 2017, she completed a 18-meter long super mural titled XXL Superflat
Pancake for a public art project at the Contemporary Art Museum, St Louis. While Bernhardt has returned to Missouri under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in these two years, she has launched solo and joint exhibitions across Europe and America, remaining highly active on social media.

在十七世紀,歐洲的探險家與投資者在此地立足,並開發印度知名 的可拉 (Kollur) 礦場前,戈爾康達 (Golconda) 地區已經是世界最重要 的鑽石生產地與交易中心。根據文獻記載,直到當時,此地區的數十個 礦場是全球兩千年來絕大多數的鑽石來源,最早的紀錄甚至可追溯至西 元前 4 世紀。 在引入勞力密集的工業開採後,Kollur 礦場開啟了鑽石大規模生 產的先河。當時 Kollur 地區的人口數約有十萬,而礦場在全盛時期的 僱 員 就 達 三 萬 至 六 萬 人 之 譜。Kollur 礦 場, 乃 至 於 Golconda 全 區 的 榮景一直持續到十九世紀中期,將近兩個世紀,直到礦脈幾乎耗竭為 止, 估 計 在 生 產 高 峰 期 間,Golconda 礦 區 的 產 量 達 到 一 千 兩 百 萬 克

然而,就在礦區舉辦最後一場展售會的同時,世界同時見證了彩鑽 在市場上的地位不斷躍升。2020 年全球受到 COVID-19 疫情的影響, 普遍不振的寶石市場上,彩鑽表現依舊亮眼;而 2021 年的 Q1 已見漲幅, 至 Q3 為止,全年漲幅達 1.1%。其中來自 Argyle 礦區的表現更為優秀。 著名產區的歷史無疑讓這些鑽石更受注目,2021 年中,一場 Argyle 粉 紅鑽私人收藏的展售會便吸引了無數買家,33 顆鑽石的總售價預計將 達到一千八百萬美元。鑽石專業顧問 Anna Cisecki 在會中接受訪問表 示,自己的投顧公司在 Argyle 礦場關閉後,光是上半年收到的相關需 求數量,與以往相比就增加近 50%;另一位珠寶師 David Fardon 則表示, 過去 20 年間,Argyle 的標售價格漲幅高達 500%。整體而言,在過往 10-15 年間,粉紅鑽的價格平穩增漲了至少 10%,已可作為相當好的投 資標的。在傳奇礦場減產甚至停產的影響下,帶著閃耀名號的寶石自然 更為珍貴。 經過時間淬煉,在歷史上留下痕跡的傳奇礦場,在每一顆珍稀的 寶石上都留下了一點古老的靈魂。羅芙奧精品部認為,礦脈耗竭終有 時,但寶石流傳久遠的特性,使得逝去的礦區在市場上獲得新生,反而 成為足以提升價值的象徵。例如上文提到的兩個歷史著名礦區、停產百 年的喀什米爾藍寶石,以及受現實條件影響,隨時可能停產的哥倫比亞 Muzo 產區祖母綠等,都以出產極高品質的寶石而知名,也因此而成為 相當值得注意的投資標的。

Before the adventurers and the investors stepped on this land and develop the famous Kollur mine of India in the 17th century, the region of Golconda would have already been the most important production and trading center of diamonds in the whole world. According to the archives, until that date, almost all diamonds in the world have been produced by several dozens of mines in this region for more than 2000 years. The earliest record is up to the 4th century B. C. After introducing the labor-intensive measure of industrial mining, the Kollur mine had a head start on the route of largescale diamond production. The population of the Kollur region was around a hundred thousand at the time, the number of employees of the mines among them was up at 30 to 60 thousand strong. The golden era of the Kollur mine and Golconda region continued to the mid-19th century for nearly two centuries. The Golconda region produced, at its peak, to the scale of 12 million carats of highquality diamonds. The Hope Diamond, which is among the most

For the three major wine producing countries including Italy, Spain, and France, the total wine production in 2021 had dropped 22 million hectoliter compared to 2020.
In the past decade, however, grape growers are forced to deal with more and more extreme weather situations than that in the past two centuries.

history. To experienced grape growers, they have mastered solutions in response to various natural disasters. For example, to deal with spring frost that occurs when grape vines are sprouting as winter turns into spring, some grape growers would burn braziers to increase the ground temperature in the vineyard, or dispatch helicopters to create convection currents. In an extremely rainy year, extra workers would be hired to increase the rate of leaf trimming to prevent molds and mildews due to excessive moisture, or to prevent rapid accumulation of sugar inside the fruit due to too much moisture facilitating the fast
At the same time, even if grapes are harvested earlier, the acidity has decreased gradually every year. Thus, several major champagne wineries have made strategic plans to produce Coteaux Champenois (still wine). Grape growers in the Bordeaux region have also become aware that Merlot, the grape variety with the largest growing area in the region, is maturing earlier and earlier in the gradually warmer climate, resulting in a reduction of fresh fruit flavors and ever increasing alcohol concentration in the final product.

Besides Australia and the west coast of the U.S., extreme heat waves have also affected the rosé wine production areas in southern Italy and Provence region in southern France. In Adelaide Hills, one of the major wine production areas in Australia, heat waves resulted in massive fires and destroyed more than 1/3 of the vineyards. Furthermore, wildfires also destroyed many California old vines sought after by seasoned connoisseurs in an instant, and the remaining vineyards in the neighboring regions were also tainted by smoke. Even without wildfires, extreme high temperature would lead to temporary suppression of grape maturation in an effort for the vine to survive. Excessive sunlight could also damage or dehydrate grapes, which may adversely affect the flavor of wine.

蒔 繪 虎
自 2013 年以來,蕭邦錶為保存完好蒔繪漆藝,推出面盤飾有 十二生肖為靈感圖案的蒔繪腕錶已成為一項傳統。今年,L.U.C 系 列迎來限量發行 88 只年腕錶,雋永優雅。 蕭邦與百年歷史的日本山田平安堂工坊攜手合作,歷代傳承蒔 繪工藝;L.U.C XP 蒔繪錶面盤,由日本國寶蒔繪大師小泉三教先生 親手繪製,均需耗費至少 160 小時的細緻工序。 遵循蒔繪工藝,L.U.C XP 蒔繪以產自日本漆樹(Toxicodendron vernicifluum)生漆原料製作的漆層之間,灑入金箔,作為熠熠生輝 的襯景。繁星下,老虎揮舞虎爪,轉身一嘯,顯露力量與威嚴,彰 顯寫實與詩意之美。 錶殼以符合倫理道德標的 18K 玫瑰金製成。錶直徑為 39.5 毫米, 厚度僅為 6.8 毫米;如此纖薄精巧的厚度,有賴於腕錶所搭載的 L.U.C 96.17-L 型錶廠自製 3.30 毫米機機芯。儘管尺寸極小,機芯仍具備 自動上鏈功能。由 22K 金質製成的偏心微型擺陀,擺陀具有強力慣 性,提升雙發條盒的高效上鏈效能,使腕錶具備有 65 小時的動力儲 存。即使兩天半不佩戴,腕錶依舊能精準運行,不必掛心上鏈。
典 藏 虎 Gucci 端出 1960 年代末典藏設計;開創品牌經 典 Flora 圖 案 的 藝 術 家 兼 插 畫 家 Vittorio Accornero 以粉嫩繽紛的嬌花嫩草作為映襯的老虎圖騰,反映 對大自然嚮往。但這種充滿玩味的手法連繫過去與 未來,也標誌著時尚與時代的對話,「時間」才是 永不枯竭的靈感。
