Property from the Collection of Leung Kum Wah, Ontario, Canada
Ex. Collection of Afonso Chen, Canada
Mr. LEUNG KIM WAH, an investment banker and avid collector, integrates his passion for art with his cultural activities. He has resided in Canada for four decades where he has held senior positions with major Canadian banks, and currently sits on the board of governors of the Chinese Culture Centre of Greater Toronto, as well as boards of Crown corporations of Canada. Mr. Leung regularly makes charitable contributions to universities, hospitals and Chinese communities.
Mr. Leung has developed close relationships with other collectors, having acquired fan paintings and many scroll paintings from the collection of the late Afonso Chen（陳毅生), a prominent attorney in Macau. Several paintings from this collection have been exhibited at the Royal Ontario Museum and illustrated in the accompanying catalogue More Than Keeping Cool: Chinese Fans and Fan Painting. Other pieces in Mr. Leung’s collection were purchased through the Chen family, well-known Southeast Asian collectors of paintings and calligraphy from the Lingnan and other schools, who also resided in Canada.
Mr. Leung’s commitment to the preservation of cultural heritage and legacy is evident in his collecting across categories; since the 1990s, Mr. Leong has developed a significant collection of Chinese painting and other arts.
