ESKENAZI,意大利藉犹太人,伦敦古董商,世界最大的古董商号,经营东方古董的世界级泰斗,世界上最大的中国古玩商人。从八国联军开始,他家就是欧洲最大的中国古玩商、走私商。古玩商ESKENAZI的主顾都是一些大的博物馆和收藏家, 他最讨厌收藏中国艺术品是为了谋利的"收藏家"。但其实,他什么赚钱买什么,什么赚钱卖什么,什么人都卖,前提是在正确的时间点。

 

作为古玩爱好者,你可以不知道ESKENAZI,但绝不会不知道元青花鬼谷子下山”大罐。ESKENAZI就是当年15688000英镑(约合人民币两亿元)元青花鬼谷子下山”大罐天价记录的创造者。

 

The Eskenazi family business was founded in Milan in 1925 and today the company enjoys a distinguished international reputation as one of the leading names in the field of Oriental art. Giuseppe Eskenazi, born 1939, first expressed an interest in this field at the age of seventeen, encouraged by his uncle Vittorio who had joined the Milan firm shortly after its inception and had acquired an invaluable wealth of knowledge and experience. In 1952 Giuseppe Eskenazi came to school in England, moving to London in 1958 where he continued his studies at University College and also sought fine examples of Chinese and Japanese art for the Milan gallery.

In 1960, together with his father, Giuseppe Eskenazi opened a London office on the sixth floor of Foxglove House in Piccadilly, primarily to organise the supply of works of art to the gallery in Milan. After the death of his father in 1967, Giuseppe took sole charge of the London office which now equalled the Milan company in importance. Two years later he was joined by Luigi Bandini, who already had spent a year working with the gallery in Milan. Luigi was specifically interested in Japanese art, in particular netsuke and inro, and by 1976 he had taken over the running of the Japanese department and was recognised as one of the foremost specialists in this field. Following the death of Luigi in 1996, the Japanese department was reorganised in 1999 and now only deals in important screens and porcelain.

In 1972, the success of Eskenazi Limited prompted a move to the first floor of Foxglove House and this elegant new gallery was designed by John Prizeman, a past president of the Architectural Association. The same year, Philip Constantinidi joined the company as assistant to Giuseppe Eskenazi. His invaluable expertise has proved vital to the development of the Chinese Department.

By the mid-1970s Eskenazi Limited had become a leading force in its field and in 1975 the London gallery expanded again, taking over the first floor of the adjacent building to create a gallery space of some 3,000 square feet. In 1993 the firm moved to magnificent premises at 10 Clifford Street, just off Bond Street, now considered to be one of the finest gallery spaces in London. The interior of this attractive six-storey redbrick building in the late 19th century Flemish Rennaissance style has been redesigned by Jon Bannenberg in association with the architects M.R. Partnership. This prestigious gallery has two floors of exhibition space as well as offices and a reference library.

Over the years, clients have included over seventy museums and institutions from all over the world. In America alone, such distinguished museums as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Kimbell Museum of Art, Fort Worth, the Los Angeles County Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington D.C., have all acquired works of art from Eskenazi. Other institutions include the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, the Musée Guimet in Paris, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the National Museum in Tokyo. The list of internationally important private collectors who have made acquisitions through Eskenazi is equally impressive.

Eskenazi’s exhibitions are renowned and have included Chinese ceramics from the Cottle collection, Ancient Chinese Bronzes from the Stoclet and Wessén collections, Chinese works of art from the J.M.A.J. Dawson collection, Chinese and Korean art from the collections of Dr. Franco Vannotti, Hans Popper and others, Chinese art from the Reach family collection and ancient Chinese sculpture from the Alsdorf collection. In 1995 the gallery hosted the loan exhibition Adornment for Eternity from the Denver Art Museum, a particular honour since this was the only European venue for this internationally touring exhibition. Notable collections of Japanese art which have been handled by Eskenazi include Japanese netsuke and inro from the collection of Professor and Mrs. John Hull Grundy, Japanese lacquer-ware from the Verbrugge collection and Japanese lacquer from the famous Charles A. Greenfield collection. Eskenazi is well known for the scholarly publications that accompany the exhibitions and many of these are now collectors’ items in their own right.

In March 1997 Eskenazi held an exhibition in New York, the first ever to be staged by the gallery outside the London premises. This was largely due to the prompting of Giuseppe’s son, Daniel, who joined the company in 1993. The positive response from so many museums and collectors has ensured that this is now an annual Spring event. In millennium year the gallery celebrated, not only the new century but also the 40th anniversary of the opening of the gallery in London, with a remarkable exhibition entitled Masterpieces from ancient China which focused on just ten superb bronze works of art. This landmark exhibition, which was shown in both New York and London, met with resounding success confirming that the name of Eskenazi has become synonymous with the most prestigious Oriental works of art.
