FURTHER DETAILS
Pok Shau-fu (Bu Shaofu, 1909-2000), a native of Jiangsu Province, was a prominent figure in journalism. After graduating from Meiji University in Japan in 1937, Pok served as an editor for numerous newspapers and magazines throughout his career. In 1945, he founded News World, the highest-selling and longest-running modern magazine. Following 1949, Pok resided in Hong Kong for many years. He transitioned into journalism education in 1969 and later served in the Taiwan Legislative Yuan from 1981 to 1986. Due to his active roles in journalism and politics across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, Pok cultivated a broad network of friends and received artworks from renowned artists. A portion of Pok Shau-fu’s collection (lot 664-666) will be presented in the "Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings" auction on 28 November 2024.
