This volume brings together a series of essays about art in Hong Kong written from mid 1980s to mid 1990s, with the intention of offering a chronicle of the Hong Kong art world during a time of immense changes. Most of the essays concern themselves with the work of local artists , but Western artists whose works have been exhibited in the territory are also discussed. Particular artists and works of art are the focus, while debates over issues regarding curatorship and arts policy are also examined.
