HONG KONG COLLECTOR DONATES WORKS TO M+ MUSEUM

The M+ Museum has received a gift of five works by South and Southeast Asian artists from Hong Kong–based collector Hallan Chow. The grandson of a Chinese antiques collector, Chow supports Asian art, exhibitions, and educational initiatives through his philanthropy.

“My donation of the selected artworks aims to help M+ build a truly diversified collection,” Chow said. “I hope to also inspire other local and regional collectors to share important works by regional artists with M+.” The donation consists of works by Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, L. N. Tallur, Sopheap Pich, Jompet Kuswidananto, and Eko Nugroho.

The twentieth- and twenty-first-century art museum located in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District is slated to open in 2019.
