注意事項
On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is such a lot. Where Christie’s has provided a Minimum Price Guarantee it is at risk of making a loss, which can be significant, if the lot fails to sell. Christie’s therefore sometimes chooses to share that risk with a third party who agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot. If there are no other higher bids, the third party commits to buy the lot at the level of their irrevocable written bid. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. Christie's compensates the third party in exchange for accepting this risk provided that the third party is not the successful bidder. The remuneration to the third party may either be based on a fixed fee or an amount calculated against the final hammer price. The third party may also bid for the lot above the irrevocable written bid. Where the third party is the successful bidder, the third party is required to pay the hammer price and the buyer's premium in full. Third party guarantors are required by us to disclose to anyone they are advising their financial interest in any lots they are guaranteeing. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you are advised by or bidding through an agent on a lot identified as being subject to a third party guarantee you should always ask your agent to confirm whether or not he or she has a financial interest in relation to the lot.

拍品專文

「寧靜之感在自然元素的生命中,從樹上緩緩流淌,穿過樹葉、水和岩石,最終在人物身上靜止停留。」
——陳莉玲博士論鍾泗賓主題為峇里女人的近作

本次為《峇里生活》這幅精湛傑作首次現身拍賣。這幅作品完美呈現了鍾泗賓眼中的峇里——一座貫穿其藝術生涯的繆思之島。《峇里生活》不僅描繪了當地生活,更以極精煉的細節、形式與技法,揭示出該島寧靜的內核。

鍾泗賓是南洋畫派的先鋒人物。就像張荔英、陳宗瑞、陳文希與劉抗等其他幾位藝術同僚一樣,鐘泗賓將傳統中國書畫與西方現代技藝結合,不斷對南洋藝術作出革新。遊歷歐洲期間,鍾泗賓受到多媒介畫作與西方抽象派的啟發,開始探索更為豐富的畫作質感。《峇里生活》中豐富的點、線、紋樣就保留了這段時期的印記。畫面大膽地展現了藝術家對他在巴厘島旅行期間對當地絢麗的植物、手工藝品和材料的深入觀察和寫生。

鍾泗賓的峇里畫作是新加坡藝術史上的重要經典。2010年,新加坡國立畫廊舉辦鍾泗賓回顧展,展出其300餘幅傳世傑作,其中的諸多作品都是以峇里為主題的素描和繪畫。除了這些國寶收藏,其他作品也令藏家們趨之若鶩。《峇里一景》就曾以996,039美元的高價拍賣成交。

人物塑造是《峇里生活》中最為經典的元素。雖然鍾泗賓最為人所道的峇里之旅是在1952年,但其峇里人物風格卻成型於1977年——他的第二次峇里之旅。其1950年代的作品多以衝突爾醒目的紅色和黑色為主體,自1970年代起,他開始有意選用更為和諧的大地色系描畫人物。赭色系畫作中央,一抹綠與橙凸顯出精緻的紗籠——一種峇里傳統服飾——那是鍾泗賓多次描繪的題材。其早期畫作中的女性人物稜角分明,在此畫中,她們安靜地休憩,肢體細長,面部特徵高度風格化。女人的目光朝下,像是進入冥想狀態般,與周身天人合一——「如今,有這些元素的畫被很多人認為是泗賓更具有代表性的作品。」(引自陳莉玲,《泗賓》,新加坡,2013年,第29頁)。女人立於畫布中央,然而仔細觀察,就會發現泗賓在此畫中加入了獨特的背景——沐浴的女人。畫作不加掩飾地呈現私密的沐浴場景,展示了最為平實的峇里日常,畫家對旅途所見的描繪仿佛讓觀眾身臨其境。

正如該畫所表現的,峇里島深遠地影響著鍾泗賓的藝術。通過描繪島上生活的形形色色,藝術家達到了他藝術創作晚期最爐火純青的高潮。
