Fellowship Project

Mr. LEE Ho Cheung spent 4 months (March – July 2024) at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich, Switzerland, to conduct thematic research on Chinese painting, and to have field trip in other European museums with important Chinese painting collections. He focused on the Charles A. Drenowatz Collection at the Museum Rietberg in conjunction with a comparative study of the Xubaizhai Collection at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, discussing the role of 20th-century European and Hong Kong private collectors in the connoisseurship of Chinese painting and calligraphy.
