11 a.m. –12 p.m. Tour

Experience art on a personal level! Join a docent-led tour of Hung Hsien: Between Worlds and experience the vivid, swirling compositions that merge the technical mastery of traditional Chinese ink painting with the expressive energy of Western abstraction — a distinct artistic language that reflects Hung Hsien’s pivotal yet often overlooked role in modern ink painting, offering a long-overdue reexamination of her enduring legacy.

About the Exhibition

Hung Hsien: Between Worlds is the first retrospective of pioneering modern ink artist Hung Hsien (洪嫻, Margaret Chang, b. 1933), surveying a career that spans more than 70 years. This solo exhibition celebrates the life and artistic legacy of one of the most important yet underrepresented contributors to the development of modern ink painting. The exhibition’s more than 50 paintings draw primarily from private collections and the artist’s personal archives.
