LOTS 808-812PROPERTY FROM AN AMERICAN COLLECTIONFollowing Lui Shou Kwan’s solo exhibition at the City Hall Museum and Art Gallery (now Hong Kong Museum of Art) in 1964, the artist was propelled onto a new international stage as his abstract Zen paintings captured the imagination of audiences worldwide. In November 1965, the Terrain Gallery held a solo exhibition for the artist in New York. Founded by artist Dorothy Koppelman, Terrain Gallery is an exhibition space and cultural centre dedicated to contemporary art and cultural exchange. It was from this exhibition that the present collection of Lui Shou Kwan paintings was acquired. The paintings have remained in the collector's family since.
