Harold Wong (1943–2022) was a distinguished connoisseur, collector, advisor, gallerist and artist, influential in both Hong Kong and the international Chinese art scene. His collection, Lechangzai Xuan, was built upon his father’s esteemed Lok Tsai Hsien and expanded in the late 20th century, reflecting his education, refined taste and evolving interests. The collection focuses on key categories — each represented in this auction — including the literati tradition of the Ming and Qing dynasties, calligraphy, mid to late Qing paintings, and modern and contemporary ink art.

A luminary of Chinese art connoisseurship, Harold Wong’s legacy as a contemporary literati is celebrated through this exceptional collection and the profound influence he had on many. This auction showcases his encyclopedic approach to the art form and features works by classical masters such as Dong Qichang and Yun Shouping, modern painters like Pu Ru and Wu Hufan, and contemporary pioneers including Chen Wen Hsi and Lui Shou-Kwan.
