Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong contemporaries
30 November 2024 to 09 November 2025
About Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong Contemporaries
This exhibition showcases newly-acquired works for the Ashmolean by the Hong Kong artist Cheung Yee (1936–2019). It will be the first substantial display of his work outside Hong Kong, including sculpture and works on paper.
Cheung Yee was a leading figure of innovation in the Hong Kong art scene, especially during the 1960s, when the city established its own identity as an artistic centre.
His work will be shown alongside those by Lui Shou-Kwan (1919–75), Wucius Wong (b.1936), Liu Kuo-sung (b.1932) and others from the avant-garde Circle Art Group.
Displayed with his peers, the works highlight Cheung Yee’s connection with a generation of modern art pioneers from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the latter 20th century.
Although Cheung Yee is mainly known as a sculptor, the Ashmolean exhibition will include some outstanding examples of his experiments with works on paper.
