The treasures include Chen Yifei's The Flutist (1987), which will be exhibited in Hong Kong for the first time and was one of his last masterpieces. The painting formed a major part of Chen's solo exhibition at New York's Hammer Galleries in 1988.
The Chinese Calligraphy Pavilion will display more than 20 valuable works by such celebrated contemporary artists as Li Yansheng, Cui Ruzhuo, Xue Liang and Shi Qi.
