Sun Ten Museum (Watercolor by Li Tse-fan)The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York is pleased to announce that artworks by pioneering Taiwanese artists will be on view from May 24 to June 2, 2019 at TECO in New York.
The artworks are from the private collection of the late Dr. Hong-yen Hsu, whose family founded the Sun Ten Museum in Irvine, California in 1993 according to his last wishes and will now donate the collection of over 600 pieces of Taiwanese artworks spanning the 20th century to Taiwan's Ministry of Culture. Before his death, Dr. Hsu repeatedly expressed that these artworks belong not to him, but to the people of Taiwan, and should eventually return home.

These include works by Ishikawa Kinichiro(石川欽一郎), Chu Ming(朱銘), Chen Cheng-po(陳澄波), Li Shih-chiao(李石樵), Li Mei-shu(李梅樹), Liao Chi-chun(廖繼春), Hung Jui-lin(洪瑞麟), Kuo Shue-whu(郭雪湖), Lin Tzu-chu(林之助), Lin Yu-shan(林玉山), Chen Tsin(陳進), Li Tse-fan(李澤藩), Yen Shui-lung(顏水龍), Kuo Po-chuan(郭柏川), Yang San-lang(楊三郎), Yao Ching-chang(姚慶章), Liao Shiou-ping(廖修平), Chen Chao-hung(陳昭宏), Chen Tsin-fang(陳錦芳), Chin Sung(秦松), Chang Wan-chuan(張萬傳), Liu Chi-hsian (劉啟祥), Ran In-ting(藍蔭鼎) and Hsiao Ju-sung(蕭如松).
