TRACES BY BAGRI FOUNDATION – GALLERY – MARCHANT

“We were approached by the Bagri Foundation and were happy to participate, as we are always interested in attracting new audiences to Chinese art, and to have a contemporary artist produce a piece inspired by our exhibition seemed like a novel way to engage and interpret both 17th century art and 21st century art.”
