Further details
Lui Hau Kwong (1922-2012), a Hong Kong entrepreneur, was one of the earliest Hong Kong businessmen to invest in the Mainland after China’s reform and opening up. He was fond of Chinese painting and calligraphy and became acquainted with several Guangdong painters, such as Li Xiongcai, Huang Duwei, Guan Shanyue, Guan Xiaofeng and Hu Gentian. Another work from Mr. Lui’s collection, Lai Xiongcai’s Pine Trees and Waterfall was sold in Christie’s Autumn Auction 2013 (lot 1551).
