中贸圣佳影像艺术部备感荣幸将在今年春拍呈现「又见：亚洲重要私
人收藏——香港沙龙摄影专场」。
在过去的两百年光景里，香港作为中国最早的通商口岸之一，在摄影
术诞生之初活动就十分活跃。此外，沙龙摄影的繁荣与香港的摄影文
化乃至整个中国的摄影发展有着千丝万缕的联系，这使得香港沙龙摄
影成为一种独特的文化现象。受到“海派”与“岭南文化”的影响，
光影、构图、影调等构成沙龙摄影的重要标志。摄影家们充满现代主
义精神的影像探索，对现实题材的关注视角，以及与国际摄影文化接
轨的态度，时至今日都深刻影响着中国摄影的发展。
去年十月，我们有幸征集到来自亚洲重要藏家提供的 20 世纪五、六十
年代香港沙龙摄影作品近 900 幅。回望中国影像市场发展历程，这批
作品的体量及重要性都堪称罕见，令人震撼。经过长达四个月的考证
和梳理，今年二月，我们在上海圣佳艺术空间策划了「人生舞台·何
藩和他的朋友们」展览，受到了业界的高度关注，获得了良好反响。
四月，中贸圣佳影像艺术部与《中国摄影》杂志共同推出“风起湘江”
专题月刊。本次春拍，我们从中精选了 150 幅极具代表性的原作，多
维度、全方位地展现了香港摄影人的创作方式、风格流变，以及沙龙
摄影的评选机制，唤醒了我们关于香港沙龙摄影黄金年代的记忆，勾
连起 20 世纪中后期香港与内地摄影文化交织融汇的历史，映射出 20
世纪中叶新中国构建本土摄影文化的尝试与努力。
在此，我要感谢藏家选择中贸圣佳作为合作伙伴，感谢中贸圣佳总经
理薛世清的支持，影像艺术部刘申飞、樊航利、张蓝冰为此次专场所
做的长期准备工作，感谢《中国摄影》杂志副主编李波和编辑王江，
感谢香港蓝莲画廊（Blue Lotus Gallery）创办人、何藩代理人 Sarah
Greene，业内专家伍小仪、刘鼎为本专场提供的学术建议。我热情地
邀请您同我们一道，见证中国摄影重要的里程碑。

It is a great honour to present “Resee: Hong Kong Salon Original
Photography-Important Private Asian Collections” in this spring
auctions.
For the past 200 years, Hong Kong, one of China's earliest trading
ports, has been active in the early days of photography. In addition,
the prosperity of Salon photography is inextricably linked to the
photographic culture of Hong Kong and the development of Chinese
photography as a whole, which makes salon's photography in Hong
Kong a unique cultural phenomenon. Influenced by“Shanghai style”
and“Lingnan culture”, light and shadow, composition, tone and other
important signs of salon photography. The image exploration full of
modernism spirit, the attention angle of view to the realistic subject
matter and the attitude of keeping in line with the international
photography culture have influenced the development of Chinese
photography to this day.
Last October, we were lucky to collect nearly 900 photographs of salon
from important Asian collectors in the 1950s and 1960s. Looking
back at the development of the Chinese photography market, the size
and importance of these works are rare and shocking. In February,
we curated the exhibition of “On the stage of life: Ho Fan and his
friends” at Sungari art space in Shanghai. The exhibition attracted
great attention from the industry, received a good response. In April,
Sungari Photography Department and Chinese photography magazine
jointly launched the “Iinspiration and Inheritence” monthly issue.
In this spring auction, we have selected 150 representative original
works from the collection, which offer a multi-dimensional and
comprehensive view of the Hong Kong photographers' creative style
and the evolution of their styles, as well as the selection mechanism of
Salon's photographs, it evokes the memories of the golden age of Salon's
photography in Hong Kong and brings together the photographic
culture of Hong Kong and the mainland in the mid-to-late 20th
century, it reflects the attempt and effort of New China in the middle
of the 20th century to construct the local photography culture.
Here, I would like to thank the collectors for choosing Sungari as
a partner, and thank the general manager of Sungari Photography
Department, Xue Shiqing, for his support, liu Shenfei, Fan Hangli and
Zhang Lanbing of the Sungari Photography Department have made
long-term preparations for this special event. Then thank Li Bo, deputy
editor of China Photography Magazine, and Wang Jiang, editor of
China Photography Magazine, i would like to thank Sarah Greene,
founder of Blue Lotus Gallery in Hong Kong and Ho Fan's agent, and
industry experts Wu Xiaoyi and Liu Ding for their academic advice. I
warmly invite you to join us in witnessing the important milestone of
Chinese photography.
