Provenance
Mrs. Huang in Hartford, Connecticut. By descent from her father-in-law, Huang Zhongfu, to whom it was gifted. Huang Zhongfu was a native of Shuiche Town, Meixian County, China, where his father was a prominent politician. He studied geology at Tsinghua University and developed a life-long bond with sports, representing the university in football matches across the country in the 1920’s. His skill was such that he became known as the ‘king of the ball.’ After graduating from the Department of Geology at Tsinghua Unvieristy in 1934, Zhongfu continued as a teaching assistant in physical education. His sports teaching career took him to Springfield College in Massachussets, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in physical education, and then to Southwest United University in Kunming, where he was a lecturer. During the Sino-Japanese War, he served as a sports teacher to the interpreter training class hosted by the Military Commission Field Service Corps and the director of the US Army’s guest house in China. Following the war, he was appointed to the Supervisor of the Guandong Branch of the General Administration of Rehabilitation and Relief Department of the Executive Yuan while also being promoted to the post of professor of the Department of Physcal Education of Guandong Academy of Arts and Sciences. He emigrated to Hong Kong in 1947 and to the United States in 1965, during which time he transitioned into the tourism industry and helped found Junhui Freight. He remained closely tied to the international alumni community of Tsinghua University until his death in 2005 at the age of 97. Lot 493 from our Asian Art Auction on July 26, 2020 was from Mrs. Huang and was also given to Huang Zhongfu by Zhang Daqian.
