Hong Kong art lovers are in for a rare treat later this week when

a comprehensive selection of works by the renowned Chinese artist, Ch'i

It will be opened by Dr. Reyson Lisung Huang, Vice-Chancellor of

the University of Hong Kong, and will be open to public viewing thereafter.

The exhibits will include the paintings executed in the various

stages of Ch'i-Pai-shih's life- from his thirties to his nineties, with examples

of the different styles of his calligraphy, his seals and scal prints.

Most of the oxhibits are selected from the various collections of

local collectors to present a comprehensive survey of the artistic achievement

of the artist.
