We are glad to see the audience for contemporary lacquer art creations is growing. It has become a thoughtful investment that speaks of the collector’s recognition and responsibility to buy well. Lacquer is a rare art and uniquely Asian.  We hope that with our joint efforts more museums and respectable organisations over the world acquiring contemporary lacquer art as part of their permanent collection and promoting the recognition of lacquer art as it deserves.

​

We are also delighted to have supported the current display of Contemporary Chinese Studio Crafts at Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum in London.

Curated by Dr Xiaoxin Li, this is UK’s first major display focusing on Contemporary Studio Crafts in China.

“In the 1980s, Chinese artists began to reimagine craft as a medium for artistic expression. This display explores the dimensions of studio craft practice in China today, and the innovations which have grown from China’s longstanding craft tradition.” - Dr Xiaoxin Li
