Charlotte Horstmann is considered one of the most illustrious Asian art dealers of the last century, and lived an extraordinary life in Europe, Asia and America. Born in 1908 near Berlin, Germany to a Chinese father and a German mother, Horstmann moved to China in 1912 as a young child and received German education in Beijing. Because of her father’s objection to women receiving higher education, Horstmann never went to university but with a good eye and instinct for Chinese art, she soon established herself among dealers, foreign dignitaries and collectors in Beijing in the late 1920s. It was also the age when Chinese art was formally introduced to the world. In 1947 Horstmann launched her first business in Beijing selling costume jewellery, mandarin gowns and embroideries and some paintings. As the political situation in China deteriorated, Horstmann left China for Hong Kong in 1954 where she diversified her business into furniture and clothing, and occupied shops in prestigious locations such as the Peninsula Court and the newly-built Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui. With her timeless taste and vision, Horstmann is greatly respected for her contribution to the development of the Asian art market and connoisseurship in the 20th century. less
