Post lot text

Born in Guangdong, Lu Shoucheng (ca. 1896-1968) was one of fourteen Chinese pupils selected by the Tsinghua Academy to study in the United States. After graduating from the University of Illinois, Lu returned to China and began working for the Bank of China. In 1965, he served as the acting President of the Bank’s branch in Singapore. A keen collector active in the circle of Liu Taixi (1899-1989) and Lin Qianshi (1918-1990), he acquired a notable collection of Chinese paintings and calligraphy in Singapore, spanning from the classical period to the modern artists including Qi Baishi, Fu Baoshi and Huang Binhong. The present collection of paintings has remained in the family to date.
