Take a train journey through the Swiss Alps and discover how master Chinese modernist Chu Teh-Chun was inspired by the enthralling wintry skies and heavy snow. A highlight of our upcoming Beyond Legends: Modern Art Evening Sale (18 April | Hong Kong), Harmonie hivernale is the artist’s first museum-grade snow scene triptych. It shows Chu’s mastery at combining Eastern and Western techniques and is a milestone masterpiece in his six decade career.
