An anonymous collector of Hong Kong art has donated a \u201ctransformative\u201d trove of 131 artworks to the Vancouver Art Gallery in Canada in a move that elevates the international profile of Hong Kong art.<\/p>\n

The collection, titled Art Continuum Hong Kong (ACHK), was assembled over three decades by a Hong Kong-based collector, the museum said on December 8. The works by 78 artists have been added to the gallery\u2019s permanent collection.<\/p>\n

Diana Freundl, the Vancouver Art Gallery\u2019s senior curator, who helped secure the donation, notes that the donor considered several institutions before choosing the gallery.<\/p>\n

Vancouver is a city with a long-established Hong Kong diaspora, the size of which has only increased since Hong Kong\u2019s political unrest of 2019 and the subsequent introduction of Canada\u2019s \u201clifeboat<\/span>\u201d immigration scheme.<\/div>\n

For the gallery, a collection of such depth and scope transforms its ability to tell a richer narrative of Hong Kong\u2019s contemporary art history, Freundl says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
