Dup\u0103 ce a abandonat liceul, Liu Yiqian a profitat de valul de deschidere \u015fi de reforme adoptate de China, f\u0103c\u00e2nd avere cu ajutorul comer\u0163ului cu ac\u0163iuni de burs\u0103, afacerilor imobiliare \u015fi comer\u0163ului cu medicamente, \u00een anii ’80 \u015fi ’90. Potrivit edi\u0163iei din 2015 a Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Liu Yiqian are o avere ce a fost estimat\u0103 la cel pu\u0163in 1,5 miliarde de dolari.<\/p>\n
\n“Pentru mine, colec\u0163ionarea de opere de art\u0103 reprezint\u0103 \u00een principal un proces de \u00eenv\u0103\u0163are despre art\u0103”, spunea Liu Yiqian \u00eentr-un interviu acordat pentru The New York Times \u00een 2013. “Mai \u00eent\u00e2i, trebuie s\u0103 te sim\u0163i ata\u015fat de art\u0103. Apoi, trebuie s\u0103 po\u0163i s\u0103 o \u00een\u0163elegi”, mai spunea acesta.<\/p>\n
\nLiu Yiqian \u015fi so\u0163ia sa, Wang Wei, sunt unii dintre cei mai cunoscu\u0163i – sau “striden\u0163i”, potrivit altora – colec\u0163ionari de art\u0103 din China. De-a lungul anilor, ei au str\u00e2ns o colec\u0163ie vast\u0103 de art\u0103 chinez\u0103 tradi\u0163ional\u0103 \u015fi contemporan\u0103, iar mare parte din aceasta este expus\u0103 \u00een cele dou\u0103 muzee ale lor din Shanghai: Long Museum Pudong, inaugurat \u00een 2012, \u015fi Long Museum West Bund, inaugurat \u00een 2014. Wang Wei, \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 de 52 de ani, este directoarea ambelor muzee.<\/p>\n
\n“Ideea ca Long Museum s\u0103 \u00eenceap\u0103 s\u0103 colec\u0163ioneze \u015fi opere de art\u0103 interna\u0163ionale mi-a venit abia \u00een urm\u0103 cu doi ani”, spune Wang Wei, ad\u0103ug\u00e2nd c\u0103 so\u0163ul ei a sprijinit-o foarte mult \u00een activit\u0103\u0163ile sale.<\/p>\n
\nColec\u0163ia acestui cuplu chinez include \u015fi o “thangka” – pictur\u0103 pe m\u0103tase – din secolul al XV-lea, cump\u0103rat\u0103 de Liu Yiqian cu 45 de milioane de dolari la o licita\u0163ie organizat\u0103 de casa Christie’s la Hong Kong. Acea achizi\u0163ie a \u0163inut prima pagin\u0103 a ziarelor, deoarece tranzac\u0163ia respectiv\u0103 a stabilit un nou record mondial de pre\u0163 pentru o oper\u0103 de art\u0103 chinez\u0103 ce a fost v\u00e2ndut\u0103 la o licita\u0163ie interna\u0163ional\u0103.<\/p>\n
\nPrin acea achizi\u0163ie, Liu Yiqian \u015fi-a dobor\u00e2t propriul record, stabilit cu doar c\u00e2teva luni mai \u00eenainte, c\u00e2nd a pl\u0103tit 36,3 milioane de dolari, la o licita\u0163ie organizat\u0103 de casa Sotheby’s, pentru o cea\u015fc\u0103 din por\u0163elan dat\u00e2nd din vremea dinastiei Ming, cunoscut\u0103 sub numele “chicken cup”. La pu\u0163in timp dup\u0103 aceea, miliardarul chinez a generat un veritabil scandal \u00een opinia public\u0103, dup\u0103 ce o fotografie care \u00eel \u00eenf\u0103\u0163i\u015fa sorbind ceai din acea ce\u015fcu\u0163\u0103 antic\u0103 a devenit viral\u0103 pe internet.<\/p>\n
\nPentru ambele achizi\u0163ii generatoare de recorduri, Liu Yiquin ar fi pl\u0103tit – potrivit unor informa\u0163ii deocamdat\u0103 neconfirmate – cu o carte de credit American Express, fapt care \u00eei va aduce multe milioane de puncte de fidelitate.<\/p>\n
\nStrategiile de autopromovare utilizate de cuplul chinez au generat \u00een anumite cercuri ale iubitorilor de art\u0103 din China o serie de compara\u0163ii cu “magnatul taxiurilor” Robert Scull. Acesta din urm\u0103 \u015fi so\u0163ia sa, Ethel, au fost colec\u0163ionari avizi, achizi\u0163ion\u00e2nd \u00een special de opere apar\u0163in\u00e2nd curentului “pop-art” din anii ’60, dar au fost adeseori ironiza\u0163i de colec\u0163ionarii de art\u0103 clasici, care spuneau c\u0103 Robert \u015fi Ethel Scull f\u0103ceau parte din categoria “noilor \u00eembog\u0103\u0163i\u0163i de o prostie cras\u0103”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
