康熙玉璽在法國五千多萬元拍出 創世界紀錄


法國拍賣商人查薩英今天表示，一枚清朝康熙皇帝的玉璽在法國拍賣，以四百七十萬歐元
（五千多萬元人民幣）的高天價賣出，創下此類古董賣价的世界紀錄。

法新社報道，查薩英在這枚康熙玉璽于法國南部土魯斯售出后說：“對一枚玉璽而言，這是世界紀錄，也寫下中國古董在歐洲拍賣的天價紀錄。”

這枚以淺褐色滑石雕就的三公斤重玉璽，是清朝初期皇帝康熙御用的一百三十枚個人玉璽之一。玉璽上刻有六個字，以及兩條騰云駕霧的龍。
　　
買下這枚玉璽的是經由電話出價的一位或多位中國買家，身分沒有公開。拍賣價格從三十萬歐元起跳，最後轉手價格包括手續費在內，高達五百六十萬歐元。

查薩英在土魯斯一戶富有人家的壁櫥中發現這枚玉璽，這家人并不知道這枚玉璽的用處與價值。

Lampo Leong 梁藍波

Lampo Leong is an internationally renowned painter, calligrapher and multimedia artist, who received his BFA in brush painting from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in China in 1983, an MFA in painting with High Distinction from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco/Oakland in 1988, and is now a Ph.D.-ABD in Art Theory at the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Leong is currently a tenured Associate Professor of Art and the Art Department Chair at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He has also influenced thousands of students through more than 100 lectures across the United States, China and Taiwan at institutions such as the University of California at Berkeley, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Stanford University, the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities, Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, San Antonio College in Texas, Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in China, National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, and Tainan National University of the Arts in Taiwan. Leong has served as juror for many art competitions, including public art projects for San Francisco Art Commission, Visual Arts Panel for Missouri Arts Council, Missouri State Fair Art Exhibition, Art Saint Louis juried exhibition, Figuratively Speaking juried exhibition, and the Best of America national juried exhibition.

In his latest series, Contemplation · Forces, Lampo Leong has created a new visual language that incorporates the rhythm of cursive Chinese calligraphy with an approach to color reminiscent of the symphonic effects achieved by Abstract Expressionism. Departing from its literal meaning, and set against meditative hues or fiery colors, calligraphy is shattered and layered to generate depth and dynamic tension. Energies shift and explode to create serenity in an electric manner. Light emanates from darkness, symbolizing spiritual rebirth. Leong's works celebrate the dynamic energies that give birth to new life, new planets, and new stars.

Professor Leong's work has been featured in more than 55 solo and 250 group exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide in national and international juried/curated exhibitions. He has also collaborated with dancers, musicians and composers such as Lily Cai, Chanticleer, Gang Situ, Yi Chen and Thomas McKenney for multimedia performances and digital film premiered in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the St. Louis International Film Festival. His painting and calligraphy are widely collected by museums and corporations internationally, including The Cantor Center for the Visual Art at Stanford University, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Saint Louis University Museum of Art, Macao Museum of Art in Macao, and Guangdong Museum of Art in China; as well as Disney World in Florida, The Westin Surabaya in Indonesia and The Tokyo Westin in Japan.

Commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission, Leong's 26-foot-diameter granite inset calligraphic medallion is permanently installed in a city park. His artistic contributions have earned him more than 35 awards and much recognition internationally, such as Gold Medal at the XV Exposicao Coltctiva dos Artistas de Macau, Best of Show at the 42nd Sumi-e Society of America Anniversary Juried Exhibition, Third Place Award, Girardot National Juried Exhibition, Bronze Medal, 20th Century Asian Pacific Art Competition, and most recently, Faculty Award from the University of Missouri-Columbia. He is included in over 74 biographical references, for example, Who's Who in American, Who's Who in American Art, Marquis’ Who's Who in the World, International Directory of Distinguished Leadership, UK’s One Thousand Great Intellectuals, The International Who's Who, India’s Asian/American Who's Who, Malaysia’s Asia – Men & Women of Achievement, China’s Lexicon of Notable Chinese and The World Famous Chinese Artists Almanac. His art and teaching achievements have been featured in more than 800 reviews and publications in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, and on television internationally, including a PBS documentary. He has been recognized in the US Congressional Record, and in 1999, the Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, proclaimed November 19th to be Lampo Leong Day. Most recently, in 2007, Professor Leong is the recipient of the 40th Annual Faculty-Alumni Award by the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Abby Chen 陳暢

An immigrant from China since 1997, Abby stumbled into photography by acquiring her first camera. It was an opportunity that did not exist while growing up in the impoverished and male dominated areas of China. Her experience, although somewhat similar to her peer photographers, is disparate from most due to the significant barriers and boundaries she has faced as a Chinese, woman photographer. By taking a more active role in mainstream activities, Abby intends to provide popular culture with greater visibility of emerging, Asian artists and their many difficulties of adjusting to a new land with new demands.

大凡對藝術市場稍有注意的人都知道, 近幾年來中國藝術市場異常熱鬧, 交易景象一片火紅。到底中國的藝術市場有多紅呢? 在中國境內擁有廣大讀者群的《三聯生活周刊》曾在2006年做過一個專題報導, 報導中指出,中國各地拍賣行業協會的交易統計顯示：2001年全中國藝術品成交額為6.36億人民幣；2002年為11.39億人民幣；2003年為35.00億人民幣；2004年為59.90億人民幣；2005年為134.08億人民幣。在2005年裡，全國五大拍賣油畫的公司就推出了九個油畫拍賣專場，成交油畫作品1260件，成交總額達5.52億人民幣。

到底這是一個什麼現象? 為何中國藝術市場會在短短數年間如此快速成長? 投資藝術品真的能巨幅獲利? 該如何判斷出藝術家的好壞和他的作品價值，挑選出物超所值的藝術品? 當代華人藝術產業的發展現況及未來趨勢究竟如何? 若您有意對這些問題做進一步的了解，那您必不能錯過此次由舊金山中華文化基金會陳暢主任 (Abby Chen, Program Director of Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco)所主講的“淺談當代藝術市場現況-華人藝術家的處境”，她將從創作者的角度出發，針對以上問題提出個人看法，內容平實具體，極富實用價值，值得一聽究竟。

"Acclamation: Affinity of Four Realms - Solo Exhibition by Jeff Lu 2008 ”

Time: Saturday, March 22 to Saturday, March 29, 2008
Location: Nan-Hai Arts Center
Address: 510 Broadway, #300, Millbrae, CA 94030
Opening Ceremony: Saturday, March 22, 2:00 - 4:00 pm

Millbrae, CA – With months of preparation, support of friends and a critically acclaimed exhibition in Tokyo last November on his resume, Bay Area, California resident, Chinese artist Jeff Lu will be holding another 8-day solo exhibition in Nan-Hai Art Center on March 22. Lu will be delivering masterpieces of arts, ushering in a new year, as a gift to those residing in Bay Area who have great ardor for arts.

There will be a total of 40 works presented in this upcoming exhibition, all of which will come from the recent creation titled “Acclamation • Affinity of Four Realms.” The inspiration for creating this series of works derives from Lu’s passion for the natural landscape. Despite centering on natural wonders as the main theme of delineation, some works portray Lu’s tacit “inner world,” thus presenting a sense of profoundness for this spectacular exhibition. The exhibition theme of “Acclamation ˙ Affinity of Four Realms” aims to show the abundance and wonders of nature which Lu hoped to share with the audience.

Making a commitment to give back to communities, Lu will offer one symbolic work “Midnight Forest,” among the series of “Acclamation ˙ Affinity of Four Realms” to the Fremont Union High Schools Foundation, Cupertino, for its 2008 fund-raising activities. With its distinctive compositional sketch and profound conception, “Midnight Forest” earned high praise during the solo exhibition held in Tokyo last November, making it a meaningful work for collection. For more information about this exhibition, please contact Mrs. Wei Hung, committee member and director of Fremont Union High School District, at 408-605-6959.

The opening ceremony of this exhibition will start at 2:00 PM on March 22 with Mr. Henry Yin, who has long been hosting charitable events in Bay Area. Millbrae Mayor Gina Papan will also deliver a welcome address. We cordially welcome your visit.

美國南海藝術中心、紅泥土愛藝者俱樂部、陸源藝術工作室 聯合獻禮

《頌讚:四境情緣》-2008 陸源新春畫展

展期: 二○○八年三月二十二日(週六)至三月二十九日(週六)
地點: 美國南海藝術中心
地址: 510 Broadway, #300, Millbrae, CA 94030
開幕式: 二○○八年三月二十二日下午二時至四時

自去年十一月在日本東京取得成功的展出後，定居於灣區的華裔畫家陸源(Jeff Lu)在眾多好友的熱情支持下，經過數月的整理和籌畫，謹定于3月22日在 “美國南海藝術中心(Nan-Han Art Center)”舉辦為期八天的個人畫展，除以饗長期支持他的老朋友外，更以這些精美的傑作，做為獻給灣區喜愛繪畫藝術朋友的一份迎新禮物。

目前定居舊金山灣區的陸源，祖籍江蘇省太倉市，早年在國內接受嚴格的系統藝術訓練，具有扎實的傳統繪畫根底。20年前赴美負薪留學，不僅研習了西方繪畫教育的理論，讓他在浩大的藝術殿堂中不斷地吸收養分充實自己，也讓他有機會在兩個不同文化藝術領域去比較、解讀和研究，累積了深厚的個人心得；此外，因著長久從事新聞工作的緣故，同樣也讓他有機會深度接觸美國社會的各個層面，舉凡政治、經濟、科技、文化、藝術到生活，他無一不涉入，累積了大量的人生智慧。

正是有了如此丰富的經歷和廣闊的視野，陸源無疑具備了與眾不同的敏銳的觀察力、深刻的理解力以及精确的表達力。在陸源筆下的“物象”﹐無論是具象或是抽象，總是流露出一種對人生哲理更深層面的解釋和看法。通過中國繪畫筆墨和色彩的運用，並借助東西文化撞擊產生的創作激情和靈感，來凸現個人對於人生“酸、甜、苦、辣”的深刻體驗，充分展現出“心手合一、兼收並蓄、學貫中西”的個人風采，凡是親眼觀賞過陸源作品的朋友都可看出他的與眾不同之處。

此次展出的作品總數約為30幅，全數取自於陸源近年來的精心創作《四境情緣》系列。此系列的創作靈感主要來自於他一向熱愛的大自然景觀。但雖然描繪的內容以大自然景觀為主，其中更多的是傳達出陸源不常外顯的“內心世界”。因此，展品可謂張張精采，饒富深度。展覽取名《頌讚‧四境情緣》，主要因為陸源希望透過這些作品的呈現，一方面彰顯出大自然的豐富和奇妙，另一方面希望能與灣區的朋友在新春之際共享這份豐富和奇妙，以為新的一年揭開美麗的序幕。

除作品展示外，為讓灣區喜愛繪畫藝術的朋友能從此次畫展中獲得最大的樂趣，對中國水墨畫的創作過程有更具體的了解，展期中還安排了一個與陸源面對面的溫馨小聚。聚會中，與會嘉賓除能在陸源的親自導覽下觀賞作品外，更重要的是，還將在陸源的示範下，一探中國畫完成手續─托畫─的奧秘，並親身實際參與托畫手續，把一張畫在皺皺的、薄薄的宣紙上的作品，托成一件平整的作品，親眼見識宣紙的變化，體驗中國老祖宗的偉大智慧。

另為回饋社區，陸源應南灣庫柏蒂諾佛利蒙聯合高中基金會(Fremont Union High Schools Foundation) 及美國防癌協會華人分會(American Cancer Society - Chinese Unit)之邀，自《四境情緣》系列中提供出二幅極具代表性的作品，做為此二基金會2008年度募款之用。此二幅作品構圖獨特，立意深遠，皆是值得珍藏的佳作。欲知詳情請與佛利蒙聯合高中基金會董事、Fremont Union High School District學區委員魏虹女士408-605-6959，或美國防癌協會華人分會林文釗會長510-797-0600聯絡。

此次展覽的開幕儀式定於三月二十二日下午2時舉行，將由灣區僑界熱心公益的尹集憲先生Henry Yin擔任主持人，Millbrae市長Gina Papan致歡迎詞，並備有豐富的茶點招待各界嘉賓。對於熱愛繪畫藝術的朋友來說，這不僅是一個徜徉在藝術氣息的展覽，也是一個家庭合樂的活動，更是一個深度認識陸源和他作品的絕佳時機，請千萬不要錯過。誠摯的邀請各界朋友蒞臨觀賞賜教。
