The exhibition Guo Pei: Chinese Art and Couture was initiated because of Guo Pei’s and ACM’s shared passion for keeping Chinese art and heritage alive and relevant to today’s society.
This conversation delves deeper into how the exhibition came about, and explores – by way of highlighting key masterworks in the exhibition – broader themes of Chinese art history, the hybrid nature of Chinese art and identity, Chinese wedding culture, and the place of fashion and couture in museums today.
