強尼·福科（Johnny Myron S. Falk, Jr., 1906–1992）與波琳·福科（Pauline Falk，原姓 Baerwald，1910–2000）是美國知名的收藏家與慈善家，以其對亞洲藝術，特別是中國陶瓷的精緻收藏而聞名。他們的收藏風格兼具審美品味與學術眼光，充分體現了對東亞藝術與文化的深切關懷與理解。

除了私人收藏外，福科伉儷亦是美國推廣亞洲藝術的重要贊助人與倡導者，長期支持博物館、研究計畫與展覽活動。波琳·福科同時積極投身社會工作與難民援助，而強尼·福科則曾任紐約基金會（New York Foundation）與希伯來工藝學院（Hebrew Technical Institute）等多個機構的理事。今日，他們的學術與收藏遺產保存於美國華盛頓史密森學會國家亞洲藝術博物館（Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art）的《Pauline B. and Myron S. Falk, Jr. Papers》中，記錄了他們的收藏實踐、慈善事業，以及對亞洲藝術在美國推廣與研究的貢獻。

A Small Xingyao White-Glazed Lion-Handled Ewer

Late Tang Dynasty

Johnny (Myron S.) Falk, Jr. (1906–1992) and Pauline Falk (née Baerwald, 1910–2000) were distinguished American collectors and philanthropists, renowned for their sophisticated collection of Asian art, particularly Chinese ceramics. Their collecting was characterised by both aesthetic refinement and scholarly discernment, reflecting a deep engagement with the art and culture of East Asia. Beyond their personal collection, the Falks were active patrons and advocates for Asian art in the United States, supporting museums, research, and exhibitions. Pauline Falk was also deeply involved in social work and refugee support, while Johnny Falk served on numerous boards, including the New York Foundation and the Hebrew Technical Institute. Their legacy is preserved in the Pauline B. and Myron S. Falk, Jr. Papers at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, Washington, D.C., which document their collecting practices, philanthropy, and contributions to the appreciation and study of Asian art in America.
