Property from the Collection of Quek Kiok Lee (1921-2018)郭克禮珍藏 Two rectangular 'Elegant Gathering' ink-cakes Qianlong eight-character marks dated and possibly of the period One red, the other dark grey, both finely moulded on one side with a scene of an elegant gathering of scholars engaged in various pursuits including painting, calligraphy, playing the qin and looking at antiques, the reverse sides with long essays beside two scholars engaged in conversation by water. The larger, 28.7cm (11 1/4in) wide (2). 注脚 清乾隆 西園雅集圖貢墨兩錠「大清乾隆御覽之寶」陽文楷書款Provenance: Quek Kiok Lee Collection (1921 – 2018), Singapore, and thence by descent來源：新加坡郭克禮（1921 – 2018）舊藏，並由後人保存迄今The sides are also inscribed '臣汪近聖呈按易水法虔製', which may be translated as 'Minister Wang Jinsheng presents this [ink-cake] made according to the methods of Yi [County]'. Yi refers to the Yizhou, a centre for ink-cake production. The motif and essay on these pair of ink-cakes refer to the 'Elegant Gathering in the Western Garden', a famous gathering that took place during the Northern Song dynasty. According to tradition, in 1087 sixteen famous statesmen, literati, and artists gathered in the capital Kaifeng at the Western Garden of Wang Shen (1036-after 1089), who was the son-in-law of the Yingzong emperor (reigned 1064-1067). Important guests included the poet and calligrapher Su Shi (1037-1101), the eccentric Mi Fu (1051-1107) and the famous painter Li Gonglin (1049-1106), all of whom have long been considered cultural heroes and models of scholarly virtue. Li Gonglin was believed to have recorded the gathering in a painting. The subject of the 'Elegant Gathering in the Western Garden' has been interpreted as an ideal or imaginary meeting that celebrates the cultural heroes of the Song dynasty, rather than as an actual event. Featuring the leading figures of poetry, calligraphy, and painting, as well as Confucians, a Daoist, and a Buddhist, the group represents the highest philosophical and artistic achievements during a period perceived as a high point in Chinese civilisation. Over the centuries, this legendary gathering became a frequent theme in Chinese art.Compare with an imperial circular ink-cake, Qianlong mark and of the period, also inscribed by Wang Jingsheng, which was sold at Sotheby's New York, 22 March 2000, lot 42.About the CollectorQuek Kiok Lee (1921-2018) - who always asserted that he was 'born to collect' - arrived in Singapore as an impoverished 17 year old non English-speaker from Swatow (Shantung) in 1938. Over the next two years, this young man topped his school at both the Junior and Senior Cambridge exams with grades 1 and A, respectively. He was then appointed Assistant Secretary by the Chinese Chambers of Commerce, which was 'home' to the leaders of Singapore's Chinese community, including preeminent business luminaries such as Lee Kong Chian, Lien Ying Chow, Tan Chin Tuan, Tan Kah Kee, Quek Bak Song and Tan Siak Kew. Mr Quek's impressive performance in his role included successfully persuading the British post-war administration to treat - and compensate accordingly - the time served during the Japanese occupation by Singapore civil servants (who had till then worked for the British) as continuous British service. Such accomplishments favourably brought him to the attention of the aforementioned tycoons. Consequently, a few approached him to join their businesses – and their families. This began Mr Quek's rapid ascension in business and in society. Inspired by the remarkable art collections that some of these eminent persons possessed, he embarked on what was to become his lifelong passion for Chinese works of art. Whilst establishing himself as highly successful businessman, banker, entrepreneur and investor, Mr Quek voraciously spent much of his free time meeting with (and poring over the artefacts of) collectors and dealers; visiting museums; attending auctions and exhibitions around the globe; and studying whatever he could get his hands on to build up his expertise on a subject that quickly grew to become his pleasurable obsession. Besides acquiring property in Asia and the UK as well as building a multi-million-dollar investment company, Mr Quek enthusiastically invested in building up his collection of Chinese antiques. In due course, he became well known to the premier auction houses and leading authorities on Chinese art for both his expansive knowledge of the subject and his collection, which was to grow for over 70 years. He also served as Acquisitions Advisor on Chinese antiquities to the Singapore University Museum for six years (three terms) until 2000. Even to the very end of his very rich and colourful life, he loved spending time admiring and handling his beloved collection.
