Christie's, sale HY866 lot 5 (with sticker).
Born in Canton, China, Dr. Wang recounted tales of his boyhood village home with earthen floors and lychee trees in the front garden. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, he and his family fled to Chongqing where he came into contact with Catholic Missionaries and secured a scholarship to the University of Portland in Oregon. In 1948 at the age of 19 and speaking little English, he arrived and completed his undergraduate degree. He then moved to Ann Arbor to complete an MBA at the University of Michigan. After a stint in management at General Motors, he changed careers to pursue a medical vocation, thence practiced at the Kalamazoo Dermatology PC for nearly 45 years.
Dr. Wang was an avid collector of Chinese art, an accomplished painter, and a calligrapher of the classical Chinese style. This Spring, we will present a curated selection of porcelains, jades, and paintings from his collection, as well as rubbings and rare books from his library.
