    Julie Chun David Chau: In Defiance of Conventions n just the past year, a formerly David Chau, President of Cc Foundation, Shanghai. Photo: unnoticed group within China’s art Mobe Ban Whu. Icommunity has achieved meteoric attention and media coverage. They are not artists or curators or even high profile museum directors. They are the new faction of a young (thirty-five and under) and affluently divested “artrepreneur,” a term applied to differentiate them from the older generation of discreet art collectors and to highlight the effects of their dramatic buying power for purchasing art in bulk.1 It’s almost impossible for these handful numbers of men to escape anyone’s attention as fodders for online and WeChat attention. They include the founders Adrian Cheng of chi K11 art museums in Hong Kong and mainland China, Lu Xun of Sifeng Art Museum in Nanjing, Lin Han of M Woods Museum in Beijing, and Chong Zhou of the Shanghai restaurant Le Petit Cochon Vert. They have been educated abroad and command full confidence to grant interviews in Mandarin and perfect English. They also possess a no-nonsense ability to put down significant sums of money with relative ease where no older collectors had usually dared. David Chau belongs to this category of China’s new artrepreneurs. Helming disparate businesses such as a fleet company and modeling agency as well as diverse contemporary art projects, David Chau is widely known for his support of Shanghai’s galleries and launching the annual Art 021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair (begun 2013). His Cc Foundation is the sponsor of the 2016 Yishu Awards for writing and curating on contemporary Chinese art.

  • Press Release Collector Awards 2016 by LARRYS LIST
    Press Release Hong Kong, November 24, 2016 LARRY'S LIST Is Granting the COLLECTOR AWARDS 2016 Since 2012, LARRY’S LIST has been following and analyzing the global scene of private art collectors and private museums, documenting the developments through reports, interviews, and listings. To further highlight the activities and happenings in this field, LARRY’S LIST is excited to launch the LARRY’S LIST COLLECTOR AWARDS. The awards are dedicated to acknowledging outstanding achievements, as well as contributions and commitment to the arts. Private art collectors and privately founded art museums will receive awards in six different categories. LARRY’S LIST is greatly excited that more and more private collectors are using their collections as a platform for interaction and education, making them accessible to a broader public audience, either by opening privately owned spaces or by lending and do- nating their collections to public institutions. “There are a number of great examples to mention, and indeed it is a difficult selection process among such amazing examples. However, we see that some collectors even go beyond the expected, mastering originali- ty and bringing new ideas to the scene,” states Christoph Noe, co-founder of LARRY’S LIST. The selection process is premised on LARRY’S LIST’s own exhaustive in-house research. Based on a shortlist, a winner for each of the six categories is declared. The relevant pe- riod for this year’s award was December 2015 to November 2016. Private collectors, pri- vate museums, and corresponding activities in each region of the globe were considered. Consistent with the nature of LARRY’S LIST, the focus is on the wider contemporary art landscape.

  • Prospects Not So Bright for Hong Kong Jewelry Mogul's Successors
    BUSINESS Prospects not so bright for Hong Kong jewelry mogul's successors JENNIFER LO, Nikkei staff writer October 16, 2016 07:00 JST HONG KONG -- When the powerful and wealthy flocked to the Hong Kong Funeral Home on Oct. 12 and 13 to pay respect to Cheng Yu-tung, who had died aged 91, they were marking the loss of the first of a generation of rags-to-riches businessmen whose acumen and diplomatic savviness is almost unrivalled by their successors. As the founder of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, the world's largest jeweler by market capitalization with the exception of Tiffany & Co., Cheng earned a reputation for tact in forging ties with heavyweights in Hong Kong and beyond. His investment in a diamond business backed by Wen Jiabao's wife brought him close to the family of the former Chinese premier, the New York Times reported. Cheng's funeral was a rare gathering of the business elite and Hong Kong dignitaries. His poker partner, billionaire Lee Shau-kee of Henderson Land Development, and Hong Kong's richest man, Li Ka-shing of CK Hutchison Holdings, were among the pallbearers. The funeral hall, decorated with white orchids, was filled with bouquets from mourners such as Zhang Dejiang, chairman of the standing committee of the Chinese National People's Congress, and Pony Ma Huateng, founder and chairman of Chinese internet giant Tencent Holdings. Cheng Yu-tong's funeral was a rare gathering of Hong Kong dignitaries. Tycoons Li Ka-shing of CK Hutchison Holdings and Lee Shau-kee of Henderson Land Development carried the coffin, along with Leung Chun-ying and Tung Chee-hwa, the territory's current and former heads of government.
