ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The Olympic Suite consists of 50 lithographs and silkscreen prints chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of the modern Olympic Games. The selected artists work in a wide variety of movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by critics.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chu Ko, pseudonym Yuan Te-Hsing, was born in Hunan, China. Chu was a central figure in the Taiwanese modern art movement as a poet, art critic, painter and sculptor. As a young man he was already known in the Taiwanese art community, mainly for his intelligence and self-taught talent. He often published his literary works in newspapers, magazines and art criticism magazines. When Chu turned 35 years old he began working at the National Palace Museum. He spent thirty years researching bronzes, through which he published important studies of ancient art. Chu Ko became interested in painting and calligraphy, and became a devotee of fine art from the age of 50. His works are abundant and stunning in style, which has made him one of the most important modern Taiwanese artists.
