Further details

Professor L. Y. Chiu (Chiu Ling Yeong, 1935-2019), originally from Chenghai, Guangdong, and born in Shanghai, was a renowned scholar of Chinese literature and history, admired both in Hong Kong and abroad. He obtained his PhD in 1968 from the Department of Oriental Studies at the University of Sydney and later taught at the University of Hong Kong, where he served as Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Head of the Department of Chinese, and as chair professor. He retired in 2001 and received the title of Professor Emeritus. Professor Chiu’s academic achievements and his influence were widely praised and recognized. Through his broad scholarly connections, he acquired many works of calligraphy and painting from esteemed artists, which provided invaluable insights into his life and social circle. Other paintings and calligraphy from the collection by renowned 20th-century artists, including Qi Gong and Rao Zongyi, will be offered in Christie’s Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink sale (lots 601- 609) and Chinese Paintings Online sale.
