What Makes Hung Hsien a Pioneer of Modern Ink Art?

As Hung Hsien: Between Worlds opens at Asia Society Hong Kong, we were honored to host a special breakfast with Hung Hsien, the pioneering 92-year-old modern ink artist returning to Hong Kong after decades abroad. This intimate gathering brought together the artist, her longtime friends, and former students for a rare reunion in celebration of her extraordinary seven decade career and her long-awaited homecoming. The conversation was moderated by Tiffany Wai-ying Beres, curator of the exhibition and feature Owen Duffy, Nancy C. Allen Curator and Exhibitions Director of Asia Society Texas, offering personal insights into Hung Hsien’s life, legacy, and lasting impact on the evolution of modern ink painting. Missed it?
