The Huge Mountain (2011) by Lam Tung-pang and 54:10: Artist’s table (2011) by William Lim
The Lims have been fans of Hong Kong painter Lam Tung-pang for years. This piece,
The Huge Mountain, is one of the largest works in their donation to M+ it’s more than five metres long. “I’ve always liked how his work crosses between Chinese classical painting and contemporary art,” says William. “We bought this work from Hanart TZ Gallery, I think in 2012. One thing that really struck me was that there was a moon on the top of the mountain. I don’t know why, but I’ve always thought that moon was very beautiful.”
