Provenance:
The Tien Yin Tang Collection
The Tien Yin Tang collection was founded by a prominent diplomat, educator and collector from Xingtang, Hebei Province. He acquired his Ph. D degree from the Cornell University, then taught at the Yenching University as a professor, and served as an official at the Education Department of the Nationalist government. In 1946, he was appointed the acting mayor of Beijing and in 1949 relocated to Taiwan. From 1950 to 1964, he spent the majority of his time in Japan, representing the government of Taiwan as a diplomat. Upon his return to Taiwan, he served as the Secretary General of the Asian-Pacific Parliamentarians' Union.
The owner of the Tien Yin Tang Collection was a discerning connoisseur with a deep and abiding passion for painting and calligraphy. He maintained close friendships with such towering figures of twentieth-century Chinese painting as Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) and Pu Ru (1896-1963). Many of the classical and modern paintings and calligraphy in his collection were inscribed or dedicated to him by leading artists of the day, with works bearing personal dedications from his contemporaries forming a particularly treasured part of the collection. His collection of classical works was often examined and advised upon by knowledgeable friends and fellow connoisseurs. A carefully selected group was subsequently published in .
Bonhams New York has offered works from the Tien Yin Tang Collection on several occasions, each time to an enthusiastic reception. Distinguished by their well-documented provenance, exceptional quality, and fine state of preservation, works from the collection have long been highly regarded among collectors.
