in mountain walking , exploration and business ventures including the first ever balloon flight over which had come to

Mt Everest. In

those far - off days there were many fine pieces

Kathmandu with Tibetan refugees and what made Gerry different

from many other collectors was that he bought only the pieces which spoke to him directly no matter its age or condition .

In 1976 we collaborated on an exhibition of Tibetan art, both religious and

secular , at the

Seymour Centre

in

Sydney,

held to coincide with the first visit to

Australia of the Lhamo Tibetan Folk Dance Company. During that time I discovered pieces of great interest in

His

He

loved and treasured each piece and rejoiced in their

I

recall

looking at several pieces in sunlight , oblique lamplight and in a muted low - level light to see differing aspects of the piece .

And

so because of this broad view which motivated his putting together a

collection, we find some relatively recent images (but of the highest quality), unusual folkish pieces and various images which spoke to him with a directness and immediacy which he could not resist . home in

前言

我和霍崔家族相識於1974年。從開始他們的收藏品已深深吸引我。霍崔

先生(謝利)於1959年已踏足尼泊爾,足跡遍佈喜馬拉雅地區。亦是最早乘坐 熱氣球跨越額菲爾士峯(中譯珠穆朗瑪峰)。當時衆多喜馬拉雅地區藝術品由 西藏流向尼泊爾以至世界各地,謝利挑選合他眼緣的藝術品,藝術品的製作年 代和品相是次要。

1976年我們首次合作在澳洲雪尼西摩中心舉辦「西藏宗教和民俗藝術

展」,同期西藏民俗舞蹈團亦初次在澳洲表演。當時我已察覺謝利獨特的品味 和鋭利的收藏眼光。年輕的我學習到他們收藏的態度和方向,令我受益良多。 那時我已留意到今次展覽「融和」中的十七世紀尼泊爾歡喜佛,其中歡喜佛特 別修長的四肢令我印象深刻難忘。

1982年謝利慷慨地借出多件喜馬拉雅地區藝術品讓我們在澳洲墨爾本大

學舉辦「雪地的西藏藝術」展覽,那是紀念尊貴的十四世達賴喇嘛上師初次蒞 臨澳洲。自此我和霍崔家族的友誼日益鞏固,讓我更加認識霍崔家族的珍藏。

謝利不僅是收藏家,他更是深受十九世紀歐洲文藝復興時期影響的學

者。他熱愛家庭,喜愛喜馬拉雅地區藝術,多次翻山越嶺遍踏喀喇崑崙山脈, 醉心於尼泊爾文化和藝術。2012年發表了兩冊「加德滿都小説」。他的博學多

才,令人敬佩。我們更從他2013年出版的自傳「1959年嬉皮士熾烈之路:花10 英鎊由加爾各答旅行到倫敦」認識到謝利不可思議的旅行經驗和夢想。

謝利收藏之路全賴背後的夫人:彭美拉。霍崔夫人同樣具有感性和鋭利

的審美觀眼光。每件收藏品都反映他們獨特的品味,必須得到他們的鍾愛。這 些收藏品可以讓他們隨時隨刻欣賞,由此可見他們挑選藝術品的嚴格要求。

故此我們會察覺霍崔夫婦收藏品有一些是年代較近(但質素高)和民

俗性強的藝術品。有些雕塑和畫像令霍崔夫婦產生特殊的感受。歷年的拜訪離 不開霍崔夫婦傾談他們收藏之路、旅程奇遇和新增藏品的故事。夫婦二人都可 以如數家珍,讓我知道他們收藏品的精彩典故。有一次他們將拉發李亞女士 (1890-1972)在1925年西藏時繪畫的人像素描拿給我們欣賞。繪畫顏色鮮明, 線條精細準確,人物生物,更難得的是保存良好,實在令人讚嘆。霍崔家族收 藏品範圍廣泛,絕非是順應潮流,而是跟隨他們獨特的眼光和喜好。

霍崔夫人彭美拉認為謝利不單是藝術收藏家,他的一生是絕對完美的。

謝利曾説過:「生命是不斷的探索歷程,日日如新。選擇藝術品正是反映每個 收藏家對生命的體會和思考。」這正是霍崔夫婦收藏的寫照。

1960’s.

The compilation in this exhibition, to some extent, conveys the appreciation of both

Buddhist and Hindu art in perfect harmony. It also applies to the core teachings

of the two where

Buddha’s Path

crosses the

Hindu Cosmos. With

both origins in

India and the common belief on reincarnation, a harmonious virtue between the two should be attained and cultivated .

It

is our great honor to include the special collection from

G erry

Pamela Virtue. We are grateful for their trust and confidence in us. The exhibition will not be possible without the help of between the

Virtue

family and us .

We

Dr. David Templeman who creates the bridge

「融和」代表佛教和印度教藝術的融洽,亦是我們的期望。這次展覽特

別展出澳洲霍崔先生夫人的收藏。

霍崔夫婦收藏包括印度教和佛教雕塑造像、唐卡和法器。他們的收藏最早追 溯至上世紀六十年代。

這次展覽表現霍崔夫婦的審美眼光不會局限於單純的宗教藝術。從他們的 收藏反映出佛教和印度教藝術的融合。我們見到佛陀的步伐與印度教的宇宙互 相交融,和平共處的現實。兩個不同的宗教,都是源於印度,思想上亦有相似 的地方—例如輪迴。自然融合是理想和目標。

我們非常榮幸展出霍崔夫婦的藏品。感謝他們對我們的信任。能夠得

到他們的信任,居功至偉的絕對是澳洲墨爾本大學的譚保文教授,我們衷心感 激。我們更要謝謝他的協調、協助、顧問和翻譯。霍崔收藏中最重要一組五張 經文彩繪—曾經在派爾博士1988年出版的「佛教經文繪畫」封面出現—藏文翻 譯,讓我們瞭解到這些經文追溯至十二至十三世紀,因為經文上的藏文已經在 十三世紀之後停用。

至於我們的工作團隊,每次編寫新的圖錄,我們都希望加倍努力,讓我
