Sotheby’s, together with HomeArt, Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC) and Hong Kong Olympic Fans Club (HKOFC), is honoured to present Olympic Dreams, a charity auction to benefit the SF&OC Sports Legacy Scheme which supports local underprivileged students, and retired or planning to retire athletes to pursue their dreams in sports. This charity auction is the brainchild of Rosaline Wong who wishes through this event to celebrate the remarkable achievements of Hong Kong’s athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. The auction will demonstrate how art can be used to promote sporting culture and values, and how art and sport can be so meaningfully intertwined.
The auction will be raising funds through the sale of wonderful art donated by artists, collectors and galleries, as well as sporting memorabilia donated by Hong Kong Olympian athletes. Works on offer include a beautiful new series of paintings by Peter McDonald commissioned for the event by HomeArt and themed around the Tokyo Olympics, as well as works by Damien Hirst, Zeng Fanzhi, Simon Birch, Mak Ying Tung2 and Cheung Tsz Hin. Additional highlights include autographed items donated by our Event Ambassadors: a signed foil from fencer Edgar Cheung Ka-Long and a signed artwork by epee fencer Vivian Kong Man-Wai. Also adding to the list is a signed T-Shirt from the Olympic China Diving Team.
蘇富比十分榮幸，與HomeArt、港協暨奧委會及香港奧林匹克之友聯合舉辦「奧夢成真」慈善拍賣會，拍賣收益將惠澤港協暨奧委會的「奧夢成真」計劃，支持本地弱勢社群學生和退役運動員，協助他們在體育界追逐夢想。「奧夢成真」慈善拍賣會由王穎妤女士領航籌劃，旨在紀念香港運動健兒在東京奧運取得驕人佳績，並藉藝術推廣體育文化和價值，從而展示藝術與體育之間的聯繫。
今場拍賣會呈獻多位藝術家、收藏家及畫廊慷慨捐贈的藝術品，亦有香港奧運代表捐出的運動紀念品。藝術品方面包括HomeArt以東京奧運為題、特意委託彼得・麥當勞為今次拍賣而創作的一系列全新畫作，以及達米恩・赫斯特、曾梵志、西蒙・伯奇、麥影彤二及張子軒等藝術家的精彩佳作；運動紀念品方面則包括劍擊選手張家朗親筆簽名的花劍、重劍選手江旻憓親筆簽名的藝術作品一幅、香港女子乒乓球代表隊親筆簽名的球拍一把，以及其他簽名紀念品和簽名照片。
While Hong Kong athletes are committed to their training, they are also dedicated and supportive to charitable endeavours. Fencer Edgar Cheung Ka-Long and Vivian Kong Man-Wai, Cycler Sarah Lee Wai-Sze, together with Table Tennis players Doo Hoi-Kem, Minnie Soo Wai-Yam and Lee Ho-Ching have generously donated signed autographs and other memorabilia for this event. Most of these items are related to this year’s Tokyo Olympic Games, all with special significance.
一眾香港運動員除了為比賽勤奮訓練外，在支持公益慈善事務上亦不遺餘力。劍擊運動員張家朗和江旻憓、單車運動員李慧詩，以及乒乓球員杜凱琹、蘇慧音與李皓晴分別為本次拍賣捐贈附簽名的照片及個人用品，大部分與今年東京奧運會有關，別具收藏意義。
Inspired by the achievements of the Hong Kong athletes at the Tokyo Olympics, Peter McDonald created a new series of nine acrylic works centred around the champions and of their winning categories including fencing, swimming, table tennis, track cycling and karate, all of which portray the energy on the playing field. Among the series there is a painting depicting the podium, capturing the celebratory moment when the winning athletes were given their medals.
彼得 · 麥當勞慷慨捐贈他以香港奧運佳績為靈感而創作的九幅水粉塑膠彩作品。畫作均以香港運動員參賽及獲獎之項目為題，包括劍擊、游泳、乒乓球、場地單車及柔道，刻劃體育場上的動力；亦有一幅描畫頒獎台的畫面，捕捉運動員領獎的感動一刻。
