SPECIAL SESSION
IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF HONG KONG TOMMY LAM - ASIAN ART
1 - 100
Mr. Tommy Lam's collection is one of the most important private collections of Asian art, highlighting his unique and top quality jade pieces. For the first time, after a long career as a collector, he presents an exclusive sample of his large collection.
Mr. Tommy Lam is a successful businessman, gemologist and philanthropist specializing in jewelry and a member of the Hong Kong Jade Chamber of Commerce (香港玉器商會). His appreciation for Chinese culture has prompted him to participate since the 1980s continuously in charitable activities, highlighting donations in education with the development of schools and teaching materials. Likewise, his restless mind has led him to achieve multiple achievements and trophies in various hobbies, including sport fishing, traditional garden design, golf and as a sports racing driver.
Another of his interests is the history of China, which is why he took up collecting Chinese art in the 1980s, leading him to obtain various items of Chinese culture ranging from the Neolithic period to the end of the Qing dynasty. Over the course of these 40 years he has studied and inspired more people to share this interest as a national pride.

Jade figure "Swinging child", Qing dynasty, 19th century
Hetian green jade, carved in one piece, in the shape of a swinging child. This type of jade "青白玉", of light greenish-white hue, is a soft jade with the color widely used in the Qing dynasty. In very good condition.
It depicts a young infant, grasping the tips of his feet with his hands and extremely cheerful face, due to the fact that he is enjoying being swung. A green and beaded rope is inserted into the holes to simulate swinging (later).
This image is related to the Chinese idiom "歡天喜地" (huān tiān xi dì) which means cheerfully or being in a very happy, joyful and unrestrained state. The word is composed of "happy heaven" and "happy earth, " so heaven is so happy that the earth is also happy. The expression can be used to describe many situations, such as celebrating success or special occasions. And also, to express the mood of people engaged in entertaining activities, or children and pets conveying innate joy to others.
Provenance: Important collection of Tommy Lam, Hong Kong, since 1980.
