Further details
The three works by Zhang Daqian in this collection come from a private collection in Taiwan. They cover different subjects and were created between 1981 and 1982, each bearing the dedication to the members from the family. These works have been preserved by the family to this day and have never been publicly revealed before, which represents one of the examples of Zhang Daqian’s social interactions in Taiwan in his later years.
