National Palace Museum defends special access for arts auctioneer (2013/05/06)

The National Palace Museum is under fire for allowing an arts auctioneer access to its storerooms. In its defense, the museum says that the auctioneer is a special assistant to a convener of the museum’s advisory committee and was in the convener’s presence during the visit.

The heavily guarded storeroom of the National Palace Museum has red doors that lock securely with a blue piece of paper sealing the doors. For added protection, cameras offer a 360-degree view. Despite these strict security measures, there is speculation that an assortment of people has privileged access to enter.

PFP Legislator Liu Wen-hsiung says that on April 28 of last year, Quanta Chairman Barry Lam and members of a French arts construction team came to examine a storeroom. Lam, who is a deputy director of the museum and convener of its advisory committee, also let his friend Clara Kuo join the tour. Kuo is an arts auctioneer.

Liu says that Kuo does not represent academic institutions and is not a scholar with research needs. Therefore, the lawmaker feels she does not meet access requirements.

The only (lawmakers) who have ever gone into the storerooms are conveners of the advisory committee. What kind of pressure are the director and two deputy directors under that they feel they can let certain people enter the storerooms?

The National Palace Museum defended Kuo’s visit.

Ho Chuan-hsin
NPM Deputy Director
We don’t grant special access to our storerooms. Ms. Kuo, as far as I know, is the special assistant to Barry Lam, who is convener of the advisory committee of the National Palace Museum. She accompanied him on the visit.

The National Palace Museum says important guests who wish to visit the storerooms must receive permission from the museum director.

故宮郭倩如

門 禁森嚴的故宮國寶庫房,遭立委驚爆,居然讓不相干的人士進入。去年四月,故宮邀請羅浮宮分館建築顧問、及南院建築規劃團隊考察庫房。除了故宮指導委員召集 人林百里陪同外,林百里的好友,知名藝術品拍賣官郭倩如也隨行。故宮出面強調郭倩如是以林百里的"特別助理"身分進入,並無違規。

戒備森嚴的故宮博物院庫房,紅色大門深鎖,貼著藍色封條,牆上還有360度的監視器,如今卻傳出閒雜人等也能輕易進出!

立委指出,去年4月28日,時任正副院長,身任故宮召委的廣達董事長林百里及多位法國藝文建築人士考察庫房,卻帶進了與林百里有牽手照傳出的友人,同時也是"藝術品拍賣官"的郭倩如,引起特權爭議!

立委認為,郭倩如既不是學術機構代表,也不是學者有研究需要,不符合申請規定!

[[立委(親) 劉文雄]]
“(立院)只有召集委員曾經出入過(庫房),其他委員都沒有,請問院長和兩位副院長,在什麼樣的壓力之下,他可以讓特定的一個人進出庫房”

不過故宮出面澄清,郭倩如還有一個身份是林百里的助理。

[[故宮博物院副院長 何傳馨]]
“特權參觀庫房的這個說法,我們嚴正表示絕對沒有這個事情,郭(倩如)女士據我了解,她是我們召集人林百里先生的特別助理,所以她也跟著他一起參觀”

故宮強調,重要來賓要求參觀庫房時,只要經院長核准後,就可辦理,一切「依法有據」。
