With Dr William Beswith, Christensen Fellow, Eastern Art Department

Join us for an introduction to a set of newly acquired works by Hong Kong artist Cheung Yee (1936-2019). We will delve into the fascinating history of how he and his contemporaries in Hong Kong and Taiwan drew on Chinese tradition to develop a thoroughly modern artistic practice within the context of the global Cold War. The tour will also look at the role that the Ashmolean played and continues to play in that story, as collector, promoter, and celebrator of modern and contemporary Chinese art.

The free exhibition Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong Contemporaries is open in Gallery 11 until 7 Sep 2025.

Tours will begin at 11am and 12pm.
