Seoul–based scholar Michael Lim, Hong Kong–based educator Lukas Tam, and Taipei–based scholar Bocheng Shen will discuss the introduction and development of Abstract Expressionism in East Asia. The event will also consider artistic, philosophical, and cultural exchanges between the east and the west from the 1950s to the 1970s. The discussion will be moderated by Andria Hickey, senior director and curator at Pace Gallery, New York.
