LINDA RIDDELL HOFFMAN COLLECTION
琳達.裏德爾.霍夫曼鼻煙壺珍藏
Lots 106-112
Linda Riddell Hoffman(1923-2009)是一位充滿魅力的優雅女士,不僅天姿國色,對生活更充滿積極向上的態度與冒險精神。婚後,定居於波特蘭,並投身眾多活動與團體,曾擔任波特蘭歌劇協會主席,任職於希望之城癌症中心、波特蘭房屋建造協會。在此期間,Linda 對亞洲藝術產生濃厚興趣。於眾多藝術收藏中,尤為熱愛鼻煙壺,更與 Bob C. Stevens、Russell Mullin、Lilla S. Perry 等人齊名,成為當時美國西岸藝術收藏前線的重要人物。1968年,Linda 為促使「第一屆全美鼻煙壺收藏家研討會」在波特蘭舉辦的關鍵性人物,當時組辦會議的核心成員包含 Donald Jenkins、Hugh Moss 等人,是次會議吸引歐美各地眾多鼻煙壺愛好者不遠千里前往參加,成為「美國中國鼻煙壺協會」(「國際中國鼻煙壺協會」前身)的重要奠基石。隔年,Linda 的部分重要鼻煙壺珍藏在紐約「美國中國鼻煙壺協會年會」展出。此外,Linda 亦是波特蘭亞洲藝術委員會之創辦人及董事會成員。晚年,Linda 移居至加州,度過她輝煌的中國鼻煙壺收藏生涯直至耄耋之年。豐富的鼻煙壺藏品陳列在白色櫥櫃中,每件珍品都傾注其滿腔熱情與對亞洲藝術無盡的熱愛。本次「極可愛翫」專場,便有多件鼻煙壺珍品出自 Linda 收藏,不僅令人一睹其收藏之精妙,更是專場藏家與其情誼之見證。

ROBERT HALL
Robert Hall 對中國鼻煙壺富有極大熱情,約三十五年前在一家商店櫥窗看見鼻煙壺後,瞬間陷入玲瓏袖珍的迷人魅力,從此與鼻煙壺結下不解情緣。在涉足該領域後,成為鼻煙壺的主要經銷商,無論香港、倫敦、紐約等各地知名古董博覽會總少不了其身影。且因其專業知識,陸續推出逾16種出版物和難以計數的相關文章,在鼻煙壺藝術領域有著獨特地位。
青黃玉質,選料精良,質地緻密,色澤瑩潤,局部留皮。壺直口,豐肩,扁腹,下承橢圓形圈足。壺一面從右半邊刻琢蒼龍自雲氣中竄出,雲紋卷曲繚繞,弧線流轉優美。蒼龍頭頂雙角,長鬚飄逸,張口露齒,肌肉飽滿噴張,身姿矯健,威嚴霸氣。下方留皮巧雕鯉魚,頗具巧思。鯉魚上方刻蝙蝠展翅遨遊天際,點點沁色恰為蝙蝠身軀紋理;另面光素,打磨細膩,陰刻篆書「美玉文玩」四字。壺底陰刻「行有恆堂」四字隸書款,線條勻稱,字體工整。
宋代陸佃《埤雅.釋魚》:「俗說魚躍龍門,過而為龍,唯鯉或然。」傳說每年三月冰雪消融時,黃河鯉魚逆流而上,於龍門飛瀑下聚集,競相跳躍,欲登龍門,以求幻化為龍。引伸出激勵世人矢志不渝、奮發向上之涵義。本件鼻煙壺巧將棕色處飾為力爭上游的鯉魚,遙望空中神龍,維妙維肖地演繹著「魚躍龍門」的神話故事。本品採淺浮雕、陰線刻及掏膛等技法,龍、鯉魚及蝙蝠以三分法構圖,使龍的主體凸出之餘,亦保留恰當空間感,畫面均衡穩重,富有張力。紅褐色皮巧刻鯉魚頭形,意趣鮮活,具強烈藝術感染力與想像空間。
「行有恆堂」,為第四代定親王載銓的私人專用堂號,取自「周易」:「君子以言有物,而行必有恆。」載銓(1794-1854),弘曆四代孫,封輔國公,襲定郡王,授御前大臣、工部尚書、步軍統領。是清道光時期的寵臣,聲名顯赫,權重一時。載銓雅好收藏,為當時頗負盛名的皇族收藏大家,在清代道光、咸豐二朝設計訂製大量藝術品,其製作之精、門類之廣儼然一個小型造辦處,包括陶瓷、壽山石、玉器、宣爐、鼻煙壺等多個門類,各類文房用具莫不文氣盎然,卻又不失官氣風範。
