Li Yuan-chia Retrospective, 4 October–25 November, 2016
Diana Yeh is curating the first Li Yuan-chia retrospective in the UK in fifteen years. Li Yuan-chia is an under-recognised artist, whose significance is currently being discovered, as a pioneer of ‘Chinese’ abstract and conceptual art, despite his translocal history. Diana has conducted several years of fieldwork on Li, tracing his life and artistic work from London, Cumbria, Bologna and Taipei to Guangxi, China. She contributed the lead essay for the 2015 Li Yuan-chia retrospective at Taipei Fine Arts Museum and is also writing a book arising from her research on Li and other diaspora artists in the UK. The exhibition is held at the Richard Saltoun gallery and coincides with the gallery’s Frieze Spotlight exhibition on Li.
111 Great Titchfield Street, London W1W 6RY
4 October – 25 November, 2016 (Private View 3 October 6-8pm)
