Modern Chinese Art : The Khoan and Michael Sullivan Collection - A New Generation

Art
01/04/2008 - 24/05/2008

This exhibition will be the first showing in London of the unique collection of modern Chinese art formed by the great scholar and connoisseur of Chinese painting in the West, Michael Sullivan, and his wife Khoan.  The collection was acquired over a period of sixty-five years, beginning with the work of artists in the province of Sichuan in Western China in the 1940s and includes paintings, prints, woodcuts and drawings by the principal artists of late twentieth century China, as well as works by a new generation. They include such major figures as Huang Binhong, Zhang Daquian and Wang Huaiqing. This is a very personal collection, witness to friendships going back over many decades with most of the works being gifts from artists whom the Sullivans came to know over the years. Curated by Professor Sullivan, the world authority on 20th century Chinese painting, the exhibition will divide into two sections, one showing highlights and the other focussing on the works of the three artists, Wang Jia'nan, Cai Xiaoli and Qu Leilei all of whom settled for some time in the West.  A total of 100 works will be presented with a change half way through.
