【台灣畫快報2009/3/3】許多人從南畫廊線上的"新作介紹"，了解作品背後的故事或技巧。不過，也有收藏家獨具慧眼，早一步看出當代作品中的隱喻，或是進入一件作品的生活故事裡，有一位收藏家看了林欽賢所畫海邊的辯論（上圖左），有了以下的看法：

"I guessed the woman sit at the right hand side is mainland China and she is arguing and interrogate the other two girls, Taiwan is the girl sit at the left side and she looks frustration and sad, she even don't want to say any more, the girl at the middle is our aboriginal who doesn't know how to deal with the debates between the other two. I have seen a similar painting few years ago, but the roles are USA, Mainland China, Japan and Taiwan. anyway, it is a sad sight with black-interesting topic. Sad, sad, asd. "

他看了另一件林復南的瓶花（上圖右），則寫信給故事作者表示：" I like this one, and thought Mr Lin truly have somthing. I have read the background for this painting, and love the true story. You looks extremely young and pretty from the attached photo It is life. "

把大到時代樣貌的隱喻、小至個人生活的描寫等，拿來作為欣賞畫作的途徑，與惟利是圖的市場炒作，導致完全不同的結果。收藏家眼中的一幅畫到底是什麼？是一個有趣的問題。
