北山汲古 The Bei Shan Tang Legacy

香港中文大學中國文化研究所文物館受惠於北山堂的慷慨捐贈，建立了館藏文物的廣博範疇及學術研究取向。幾近一半的文物館藏品，來自北山堂的歷年捐贈。北山堂是已故利榮森博士（1915-2007）的堂名。利博士是香港中文大學終身校董，又是文物館的創辦人、贊助人及文物捐贈者。自1971年文物館成立至2004年，利博士出任該館管理委員會主席，擘劃文物館發展。是書為配合文物館策劃之大型展覽《北山汲古：利氏北山堂捐贈中國文物》而出版之同名圖錄，取材自原北山堂藏品，亦是文物館之典藏精髓。書前有文物館館長林業強撰寫專文介紹利榮森博士。精選介紹之文物分七大類：銘刻、碑帖、書法、繪畫、銅器及玉器、陶瓷、雅製；共113項，各附詳盡中英文解說文字，彩版精印。
The Art Museum, Institute of Chinese Studies, The Chinese University of Hong Kong has benefited greatly from the Bei Shan Tang in establishing a comprehensive collection, which forms the basis for its academic researches. Almost half of the Art Museum collection comes from the Bei Shan Tang gifts. Bei Shan Tang was the private studio name of the late Dr. LEE Jung Sen (1915-2007), a life member of the University Council, the founder and major benefactor of the Art Museum. Dr. Lee served as the Chairman of the Art Museum Management Committee since the inception of the Art Museum in 1971until 2004, lending his vision and guidance to every stage of its development. This catalogue is published to accompany the large scale tribute exhibition "Bei Shan Tang Legacy: Gifts of Chinese Art" organized by the Art Museum, introducing the creams of the Bei Shan Tang gifts to the Museum over the years. It is prefaced with a retrospective essay in memory of Dr. J. S. Lee by Peter Y. K. Lam, Director of the Art Museum. The 113 selected gifts of Chinese art are sorted by categories: epigraphy, rubbings, calligraphy, painting, bronze and jade, ceramics, and others; with detailed descriptions in Chinese and English, and illustrated in colour plates.
