Provenance
Provenance: 這是我行第三次推出日裔古董商永谷寿三之遺產。永谷系山中商會芝加哥分店店长,關西人,父早逝,寡母撫育成人。中學畢業入山中商會,17嵗派駐北京,經手高古造像陶瓷無數。旋赴波士頓,再遷紐約。三十年代山中商會在芝加哥開分店,初由紐約店下間豊吉兼管,后為永谷全權負責。選址密歇根大街北段“華麗一英里”,豪客雲集。 太平洋戰爭爆發後,山中商會美國三店慘遭查封,永谷因博學強識且爲人和善,被敵產管理局委任清倉芝加哥分店。期間各大博物館、古董商紛至沓來,以至需屢屢閉店控制人數。山中商會結業后,永谷寿三創設永谷商會,時為1944年秋。 芝埠老錢新貴如布倫戴齊(前奧組委主席、舊金山亞洲藝術博物館主捐贈人)、近年叱吒拍場的瓊肯三世、喜馬拉雅藝術收藏巨擘阿兹多夫家族等皆是永谷商會常客。這份成功離不開其賢内助山田千夏。山田原係賓州最高法院首席法官秘書,英文流利,長袖善舞。1979年下世,永谷寿三無限傷痛,生意大受衝擊,不久閉門結業。經營所得贈與伊利諾伊州立大學開設獎學金悼念亡妻。 永谷的兄弟皆死於二戰,唯小妹相依爲命;山田的長姊同樣早逝,留下一雙子女由夫婦倆撫養成人。永谷夫妻僅有一子,子又生孫,均無從業古董行者,兩年前委托我司釋出碩果僅存的青銅與玉器精品,分2022年春秋两场上拍,買家珍重,成績斐然。本次上拍若干書畫玩器,靜待有緣人。
