Facing the recent speculation phenomenon in the contemporary
art market along with the drastic ups and downs of transaction prices,
many people are doubtful about what art is and what qualify it as a
good piece. The art of Chinese painting has a history of five thousand
years. What is its true value? What is the spirit behind? What is its
aesthetics? Which artists have sustained through the annals of history?
What is the present situation and outlook of the art market in China?
Facing these questions, Wan Fung Art Gallery has invited about sixty
established artists from Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas
to exhibit their quality works. Complemented with the educational
lecture and guided tour, we seek to enhance the understanding of Chinese
art history and to nurture aesthetic cultivation among the public,
to discuss the actualities and prospects of Chinese painting, thereby
stimulating thoughts on the eternal value underlying every art piece. |
