The Durwin Tang Collection of Chinese Jades:
Passion, Knowledge and Connoisseurship
Lots 72-96

Durwin Tang (1955-2018), was exposed to ancient Chinese jades
in the 1970s. This gradually led him to develop a great interest in
Chinese antiques and jade carvings in particular. As an avid lover
of ancient jades, Mr Tang had sharp eyes and unique insights. He
was an honourable and highly respected man who never went with
the flow. In his own words: "What began as a professional work
related interest blossomed into an engrossing personal pursuit and
eventually a career, requiring much time and devotion. I derived
indescribable unsurpassable satisfaction and inner tranquillity from
this hobby/passion, which I am sure my fellow antique enthusiasts
can relate to." In the 1990s, Hall of Precious was founded by Mr
Tang as a platform to meet friends who shared the same interest
in jades and to promote the cognition and market position of
ancient jades.

Mr Tang attended countless auctions of Chinese art, visited
numerous museums worldwide and perused innumerable
reference books to develop his personal knowledge on ancient
jade and his connoisseurship, clearly evident in the rare and
remarkable collection he assembled over many years.

Knowledge and connoisseurship are key in the Chinese art world
for all participants, be they curators, collectors, dealers or auction
specialists. Durwin Tang was remarkably generous in sharing his
time and knowledge in an enjoyable discussion on the dating and
merits of jade carvings. This is a gift for which those of us who
shared in it would always remain immensely grateful.
