A Tribute to My Godfather Robert Hatfield Ellsworth (1929-2014)
“I deal only to collect.”
By Wang Shaofang, August 10, 2014
Robert Hatfield Ellsworth will be broadly remembered as the single most prominent dealer of Asian antiquities in the 20th century. His range of expertise, foresight, and business acumen were exceeded only by his eye for beauty and the generosity of his soul. He influenced every major collection of Asian Art in the United States (both museums and private collections). He instigated the return of artifacts back to China and his primary charitable cause (which he helped establish) was the Chinese Heritage Art Foundation, based in Hong Kong and dedicated to restoring Ming and Qing dynasty structures in Huangshan, a city in central China with a trove of neglected architectural masterworks.
