Artist: Zao Wou-Ki

(Chinese/French, 1921-2013)

In 2005 Zao took several trips to Limoges, France, to work with the Bernardaud atelier to create these three limited-edition porcelain plates—Pierre de Feu, Pierre de Sable, and Pierre de Ciel. Each features a unique watercolor drawing transposed onto the plate.

About the artist :

“As a very popular artist in the Asian market, Zao Wou-Ki holds three records of “Zao Wou-Ki World Auction Record”, “Asian Oil Painting World Auction Record”, and “Top Sale Painting in Hong Kong Auction History” at the price of HK $510 million. He is an important figure in the art history in the middle of the 20th century for his profound understanding of both Eastern and Western artistic traditions and fusion of them in his works. He was born in 1920 into a scholarly family in Beijing, as a son of a banker. Good family environment has contributed to his exposure to painting and calligraphy. Skillful brush and ink techniques are there throughout his entire art care”
