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.
