We are celebrating our 10th Anniversary this year and putting together the works of 33 China's leading artists in this special exhibition.

Schoeni Art Gallery was founded in Hong Kong in 1992. A decade has passed, from doing pioneer work to growing into one of the leaders in contemporary Chinese art, Schoeni Art Gallery has successfully represented and supported various artists from the mainland China, whose works range from Neo-Realism to Post-Modernism. We have placed over 2,000 paintings into private collections worldwide and have prepared the grounds for many young artists to prosper internationally by being their springboard, including Liu Dahong, Yue Minjun, Yang Shaobin and Qi Zhilong. Schoeni Art Gallery has vigorously taken part in the Chinese art scene on a global scale in order to expand China's art audience; taking part in more than 100 exhibitions, including Art Miami, Art Chicago, Art Hong Kong, Art Singapore and Art Basel. Other exhibitions locations include Berlin, Basel, Brussels, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo and Yokohama. In 1995, having borrowed 25 works, Schoeni Art Gallery took part in the "China!" museum exhibition in Bonn, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna and Singapore. With over 30 publications and award winning books to date, Schoeni Art Gallery has also played an important role in introducing and documenting the works of Contemporary Chinese artists.
