370萬美元名畫疑被當垃圾丟棄
A 28.8 million Hong Kong dollar (US$3.7 million) Chinese ink painting sold at a Hong Kong auction is missing and may have been taken out with the trash.
在香港一個拍賣會上以2,880萬港元（合370萬美元）高價拍出的一幅中國水墨畫不翼而飛，可能和垃圾一同被收走了。The painting 'Snowy Mountain' by contemporary artist Cui Ruzhuo was sold at a Poly Auction event Monday at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. But the auction house reported the painting missing to police on Tuesday, according to local media reports.
這幅畫作是當代藝術家崔如琢創作的《山色蒼茫釀雪天》(Snowy Mountain)，週一在香港君悅酒店(Grand Hyatt Hong Kong)舉行的保利(Poly)拍賣會上拍出。但據當地媒體報道，該拍賣行週二報警稱這幅畫作丟失。
A hotel spokesperson said it allowed police officers to view video footage from its security cameras that monitored the auction area.
君悅酒店一位發言人表示，酒店已經讓警方查看了拍賣區域的監控錄像。
Local media said police officers saw video footage of a packaged painting sitting near a pile of trash that was later thrown away. (Hong Kong's Apple Daily news site has an animated version of what it believes happened.) Police were reportedly searching a landfill in Hong Kong's northern district of Tuen Mun for the missing painting Wednesday morning.
當地媒體稱，警方在一段錄像上看到包裝好的畫作被放在一堆垃圾附近，後來清潔工清理掉了這堆垃圾（香港《蘋果日報》網站製作的模擬動畫還原了當時的可能場景）。據報道，警方週三上午在位於香港北部屯門的垃圾堆填區尋找遺失畫作。Poly didn't respond to requests for comment. In a Wednesday statement, police said the painting is now considered 'lost property' and is no longer being treated as a theft.
保利沒有迴應置評請求。警方週三發表聲明稱，目前認爲畫作“遺失”，不再作爲盜竊案處理。'Snowy Mountain' was the second-priciest item sold Monday at a special event that featured 28 of Mr. Cui's ink works. His 'Landscape in Snow' sold for HK$184 million - a record auction price for the artist.
崔如琢的28幅水墨畫作品參加了此次特別拍賣活動，其中《山色蒼茫釀雪天》成交價排在第二位。他的另一幅作品《丹楓白雪》(Landscape in Snow)手卷以1.84億港元的高價成交，刷新他本人作品成交價紀錄。Poly is the largest auction house in mainland China and the world's third-largest, after international powerhouses Christie's and Sotheby's. Poly, part of the Poly Culture -2.44%, is based in Beijing and began holding Hong Kong sales in 2012.
保利是中國大陸最大的拍賣行，也是全球第三大拍賣行，僅次於佳士得(Christie's)和蘇富比(Sotheby's)這兩大國際拍賣行。保利文化集團股份有限公司(Poly Culture Group Co., , 簡稱：保利文化)旗下的保利國際拍賣有限公司總部位於北京，2012年開始啓動香港拍賣業務。Over the past week, Poly, Sotheby's and China Guardian (China's second-largest auction firm), held multi-day sale events spanning several categories including traditional Chinese paintings, contemporary Asian art, Chinese antiques, jewelry and wine. Poly said it sold about 2,000 collectibles worth HK$1.1 billion during its own two-day event at the hotel.
過去一週，保利、蘇富比和中國嘉德（中國第二大拍賣行）舉辦了數日的拍賣活動，涉及到中國傳統繪畫、當代亞洲藝術、中國古董、珠寶和酒類幾個門類。保利稱，在香港君悅酒店舉行的爲期兩天的拍賣活動中，共出售大約2,000件、總價值11億港元的收藏品。
