EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY HONG KONG ART
At City Hall Art Gallery
An exhibition of contemporary Hong Kong art will be on show at
the City Hall Art Gallery as from tomorrow (Friday).
The exhibition, entitled "Art Now Hong Kong" was the first
exhibition of its kind sent abroad by the City Museum & Art Gallery and
it has recently returned to Hong Kong.
"It was first held at the Commonwealth Institute Art Gallery
IT
in London exactly a year ago, and subsequently it travelled to Edinburgh,
Manchester and Bristol, a spokesman of the City Museum & Art Gallery said.
The exhibition, he added, had proved a great success in the
United Kingdom.
About 64 paintings, prints and sculpture by Hong Kong artists
selected from the City Museum & Art Gallery's permanent collection made
up this exhibition.
"It represents a cross-section of Hong Kong art as we see it
today, but at the same time, it illustrates the evolution of a unique
'Hong Kong Style' which is the product of East-West cultural interfusion,'
the spokesman said.

at the City Museum & Art Gallery at $2.50 each.
The exhibition will remain open to the public until June 18.
