Zao Wou-ki works donated to M+ museum in Hong Kong by the late Chinese painter’s stepdaughter
- When Zao moved to Paris he decided not to work in ink to avoid being pegged as a Chinese painter, and at the same time discovered the art of print-making
- Nine of the 12 works Sin-May Roy Zao has given to M+ are prints by Zao, for whom the medium was a ‘wonderful playground’, the museum’s curator Lesley Ma says
