QIU YING (ATTRIBUTED TO, 1495-1552)
PROPERTY OF THE PING Y. TAI FOUNDATION Ping Y. Tai (1915-1998) was the wife of the legendary connoisseur, collector, and dealer Jun Tsei Tai (1911-1992), fondly known in international art circles as J.T. Tai. These Chinese paintings were acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Tai without commercial intent and were kept at home for their personal enjoyment. Mrs. Tai was born Chang Ping Ying in Suzhou in 1915. In 1932 in Shanghai, she married Jun Tsei Tai, who was already a highly respected connoisseur and dealer of Chinese ceramics, ancient bronze vessels and carved jades. Like many of their compatriots, Mr. and Mrs. Tai moved to Hong Kong in 1949, a year of great political and social upheaval in China. In 1950 Mr. Tai settled in New York and was joined by Mrs. Tai in 1953. Working first with the leading Paris-based dealer C.T. Loo, Mr. Tai soon established his own gallery, J.T. Tai and Co., on Madison Avenue in New York City's elite district of museums and galleries. Many masterpieces in major American museums and collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Freer Gallery of Art, the Avery Brundage collection and the Arthur M. Sackler collections were acquired from Mr. Tai. In this way, he was a primary force that profoundly influenced the appreciation of Chinese art in America and Europe. Ping Y. and J.T. Tai were a central part of the cultural elite in New York's Chinese community, which included such renowned artistic and literary figures as C.C. Wang, Lin Yutang, Wan-go Weng, and Wang Fang-yu. In the time-honored tradition of Chinese collectors, they would study and enjoy each painting or object during private moment together or at gatherings with their connoisseur friends. In addition to good food and art, there were also frequent mah-jong games and Mrs. Tai was an especially enthusiastic participant.

戴張萍英女士(1915-1998)生於蘇州,1932年下嫁當時已是著名鑑賞家、收藏家及古董商戴潤齋(戴福保,1911-1992),即中國藝術鑑藏界舉世聞名的「J.T. Tai」是也。戴萍英基金會珍藏囊括了許多重要的古代繪畫、陶瓷、青銅期等,俱由戴福保先生遺贈,鮮為人知。戴氏伉儷珍藏的名畫,僅供到其家中作客的友儕清賞雅鑑,而非營商牟利之物。1949年,時局不穩,戴氏伉儷遷居香港,后又于1950年先後赴紐約定居。戴先生在紐約著名畫廊及博物館雲集之地開設了「J.T. Tai and Co.」經營古董,美國不少博物館和私人珍藏,均曾向戴先生購入稀世珍奇。 戴氏伉儷在精英雲集的紐約華人社區亦扮演了舉足輕重的角色,與之往來著盡皆文藝泰斗。遙想當年,戴氏伉儷家居閒坐,想必常以賞析仇英(1495-1552)這幅《採蓮圖卷》的絕妙畫境為樂。畫中高仕安坐於蘇州河畔的小亭,身旁置各式珍玩。戴氏伉儷觀畫之際,不免憶起在家鄉度過的青蔥歲月:夏日炎炎,湖光山色,眼前畫境依稀正是舊時情景。仇英是著名的蘇州畫家,以精雅卓絕的畫工而聞名于世。此幅《採蓮圖卷》亦有同時代人俞允文、張鳳翼題跋。
