PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE UK COLLECTIONThe Wang Zuo Collection of Chinese Paintings Wang Zuo (1921-2010), pictured here, was a highly cultured man and a respected, influential Chinese economist. He had been a speechwriter for Mao Tse Tung’s cabinet and later worked on many of the economic reforms that swept through China in the decades following Mao’s death. He was an honorary research professor at several leading Chinese universities and authored numerous books on economics. He collected Chinese paintings and calligraphy and knew many of the country’s greatest 20th century artists, including Li Keran on whom he wrote a book. He had six children and spent his later years living in the family home in Guangzhou. Christie’s is honoured to present these five paintings from his collection, gifted to one of his children. Part Two of the collection will follow in June 2023.
