Calligraphie japonaise ou chinoise antique signée... Lot n° 24 Antique Japanese or Chinese Calligraphy Signed with Seals

Small creases, some thin spots 23 1/2" x 10 1/4" (59.6 x 26 cm) unidentified author. Provenance: from the Former Richard Lane Collection. Richard Lane (1926–2002) was an American scholar, author, collector, and dealer of Japanese art. After his passing in 2003, The Tokyo Museum and the Hawaiian Museum purchased and split his former collection in half. In 2009, the Hawaiian Museum hired some experts from Japan, Korea and China in order to sort and organize the acquisition. For a period of time, they separated the master pieces and high quality material for them to keep, from the scholars and less "Museum worthy" material. Because of the large amount of material, they never took the time to accession it. These calligraphy are from the former Richard Lane collection, and were sold on auction by the Hawaiian Museum in the 2010's
