In conjunction with the exhibitions Clouds of Ink, Pools of Colour: Paintings by Hou Beiren and Mountain Taoist, the guided tour explores the highlights of the exhibitions with UMAG Director Dr Florian Knothe. 

 

Dr Florian Knothe teaches the history of decorative arts in the 17th and 18th century with particular focus on the social and historic importance of royal French manufacture. He has long been interested in the early modern fascination with Chinoiserie and the way royal workshops and smaller private enterprises helped to create and cater to this long-lasting fashion. Florian Knothe worked at The Metropolitan Museum of Art focusing on European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, and on European and East Asian glass at The Corning Museum of Glass, before his current position as Director of the University Museum and Art Gallery at HKU.
