“Through encounters, discoveries and discussions, we have built our collection of Vietnamese art around three main themes:
contemporary abstract painting, lacquer art and the influence of Chinese art on Vietnamese abstract art. We have focused the collection on the direct Post Doi Moi period, from the 1990s to 2010.”
“The first exhibition of abstract art in Vietnam (...) was a landmark event in the history of Vietnamese painting. Organised in
1992 in Ho Chi Minh City, the exhibition validated abstraction as an important artistic language. Participating artists included
rising talents such as Ca Le Thang, Dao Minh Tri, Nguyen Tan Cuong, Nguyen Thanh Binh, Nguyen Lam, Tran Van Thao and
established painter Nguyen Trung. With Trung as their leading figure, these artists were part of a new collective that began
exhibiting together in 1989. Throughout the group’s seven-year history, Nguyen Trung’s aesthetic and technical experiments
had a profound influence on its direction. For these artists, abstraction was a means of expressing pure values of freedom
and individualism. The collection of their works preserves a history of personal and artistic struggle against censorship and
a certain aesthetic conformism.”
