He married Julia Burke in 1949 and they moved to London. James started working for Iron and Steel Exporters and later that year, he was offered the chance to set up an office Hong Kong, so they moved there and set up home. The business was successful, they loved Hong Kong and they lived the life of ex-patriates to the full. They swam, played golf, made friends and indulged their passion for fast cars, competing in amateur road races. Julia claimed to have won at the first Macau Grand Prix. As well as enjoying the pastimes of the culture they brought with them, they developed an enduring love for China, Chinese people, Chinese food and Chinese art. With a growing family, they returned to England in 1957. They brought with them the pieces they had bought in Hong Kong and James made many trips to Hong Kong and continued to build their collection throughout the following decades mainly from dealers in London.來源：倫敦古董商William Clayton Ltd.，1977年11月1日James Basil Wilson與Julia Wilson伉儷舊藏，並由後人保存迄今James Basil Wilson二戰期間曾於廓爾喀軍團服役，1945年返回英國。 1949年與Julia Burke結婚，婚後搬至倫敦，並開始為Iron and Steel Exporters效力，同年被委任籌備香港辦事處，遂移居香港。事業發展蒸蒸日上的同時，Wilson伉儷也充分享受著外派人士的理想生活；游泳、打高爾夫、結交朋友，沉迷賽車運動甚至參加業餘車手街道賽，Julia聲稱曾完賽首屆澳門格蘭披治大賽車。在保留西方生活方式的同時，Wilson伉儷也對中國及其民眾、美食和藝術產生了長久的熱情。 1957年，隨著家庭的不斷壯大，Wilson一家回到英國，並帶回了其在香港購置的藝術品。此後，James多次前往香港，並在接下來的幾十年中持續造訪倫敦的古董商，擴充藏品。The present screen is superbly carved with eight Luohans, including Bakula, Rāhula, Cūdapanthaka, Pinola Bhāradvāja, Panthaka, Nāgasena, Gopaka, and Abheda. The screen would have been part of a pair of screens making a total of sixteen luohans. Luohans, known as 'Guardians of the Buddhist law', became popular in China in the 7th century, and their numbers varied, from sixteen to eighteen. They are extremely rare, and few published examples have been found. See one very similar example of a jade screen with luohans, 18th century, illustrated by G.Wills, Jade of the East, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, 1972, p.105.In 1757 the Qianlong emperor visited the Shengyin temple in present-day Hangzhou, to personally inspect the Luohan paintings by Guanxiu made in 891 AD. The emperor was deeply moved by the paintings and wrote a poem for each of the Luohans depicted in the paintings. He then instructed the Court artist Ding Guanpeng to create copies of Guanxiu's Luohans, which the emperor inscribed. In the following decades the Qianlong emperor had artisans reproduce the images in a variety of materials including jade, and the present screen is one such testament to the emperor's personal devotion. Luohan images appeared repeatedly through the emperor's garden in the Ningshougong in the Forbidden City and particularly in Yanghe, Jingshe and Yunguanlou, depicted in paintings, kesi screens and jade; see for example a zitan, lacquer jade and gilt-decorated sixteen-leaf screen, Qianlong, in the Yunguanglou, illustrated by N.Berliner, The emperor's Private Paradise: Treasures from the Forbidden City, New Haven, 2010, pp.164-171; see also a green jade set of the Eighteen Luohans, Qing dynasty, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum: Jade 8 Qing Dynasty, Beijing, 2011, no.266.The gilt inscriptions incised on the reverse of the screen are the poems written by the Qianlong emperor, which make it likely that this screen was specially commissioned by the emperor or presented to him as tribute. They have been translated as follows:The Ninth Reverend One, Vajraputra,I am supplied with everything; Which is dear to me and which is not?I pat the flying squirrel with my hands, Being pleased with its tame nature.Tameness gives no trouble; To be pleased implies having no worry.All living creatures and I live at leisure in the kingdom of Buddha The Tenth Reverend One, Rahula, The Buddha can transform matter; All living creatures are transformed by matter.He who knows this truth has a large eye in his forehead. The Reverend One holds the seven jewelled hat And will offer it to the Buddha What is he capable of doing? It is understood that he has done many thingsThe Eleventh Reverend One, CudapanthakaHe sits upright with the hands joining.What supernatural power does he possess?One school refers to objective existences the other to non-objective; Which of the two is the true sect?The round nimbus behind his headIs like the moon after passing through his bosom.When his peregrinations are ended,A few pairs of straw sandals will have been used.The Twelfth Reverend One, PindolabharadvajaHis left hand holds a Sanskrit book;His right one an alms bowl.Whether he journeys, stays, sits or sleeps, He never does so in excess.When the Buddha was in the world,He saved this old man.As a lion roars,So preached he sermons with vigour.The Thirteenth Reverend one, PanthakaThe books of BuddhaAre held in his hands.His face is flushed like the red clouds of sunset or sunrise, Or as if he were drunk with wine.Of the 'Four truths'He has not any dou...

He collaborated with I.M.Pei to design the Luce Memorial Chapel on the Tunghai University campus in 1963, which became a hallmark of mid-century Modernist architecture. He also often painted in watercolour and would borrow some aspects from traditional Chinese painting but apply it to modern themes or Western style line work. Many of his works were abstract or referencing small landscapes. His paintings are in the permanent collection at various museums including Smithsonian American Art Museum, Harvard Art Museums, and the British Museum, among others. To commemorate the 90th anniversary of his birth, a selection of Chen's paintings were displayed at the National Palace Museum in Taipei.See a related long hanging painted scroll of a sunrise by Chen Qikuan which was sold at Sotheby's London, 16 May 2018, lot 53.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A GROUP OF SCHOLAR'S OBJECTSQing DynastyComprising an inkstone; one soapstone seal inscribed with poetic inscription 'Duanyan' by Huang Ren; one yellow-glazed porcelain seal paste box and cover with a relief design of prunus; and a bronze seal, the seal face reading Yanggu xian zhengfu yin, meaning 'Seal of the Government of Yangu County'. The largest, 19cm (7 1/2in) long (5).Footnotes:清 文房用具 一組四件Provenance: Dr Walter Rieder (1890-1986)Dr Walter Rieder (1890-1986) served in the Swiss East Asia Mission (SOAM) in Qingdao, Shandong Province, between October 1930 and December 1951. The mission specialised in educational, literary and philanthropic work and Dr Rieder was in fact, not a theologian or missionary, but a teacher of mathematics, physics and science to high school students attached to the SOAM. His guiding principles were 'Creating understanding between different cultures' and 'Building bridges between East and West'. While in Qingdao, Dr Rieder collected a wide variety of Chinese art. The objects in the collection thus offer a unique window into the type of antiques that were on the market in Qingdao in the second quarter of the 20th century. As well as demonstrating his passion for Chinese art, his collection also reveals the personal friendships Dr Rieder forged with local artists, some of whom he knew from his teaching activities. Dr Rieder had a scholarly approach to studying his collection. Alongside many of his objects, meticulous notes can sometimes be found detailing his art historical commentaries. The collection was hence Dr Rieder's gateway to the history and culture of China. Objects from the collection were exhibited at the Kunsthaus in Interlaken, Switzerland in 2006 and 2018.來源：Walter Rieder博士（1890-1986）舊藏1930年10月至1951年12月間，Walter Rieder博士（1890-1986）於山東青島的瑞士東亞使團 (SOAM) 任職。該組織專注於教育、文學和慈善工作，但Rieder博士並非作為傳教士，而是作為一名教師，教授高中數學、物理及科學科目，並以促進'文化間交流理解'和'搭建東西方文化的橋樑'為己任。在其旅居青島期間，Rieder博士大量收藏了各類中國藝術品。通過本次拍賣所呈現的拍品，我們得以一窺二十世紀後半葉的青島古董市場。Rieder博士的藏品不僅展示了他對中國藝術的熱情，還反應了其任教期間與當地的文人逸士建立的個人友誼。 Rieder博士還對其藏品進行了學術研究，並對很多物品留下了詳細筆記。也因為此，這些藏品也成為了Rieder博士了解中國歷史和文化的門戶。本次上拍的拍品曾於2006年與2018年於瑞士因特拉肯的美術館展出。This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
