Cheong Soo Pieng’s Blue Rhythm (1974, oil and mixed media on canvas, 119.5 x 91.5 cm)
Showcasing more than 50 works by 20 artists from Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and more, A New Dialogue marks the first comprehensive selling exhibition to recognize the important artistic achievements from Southeast Asia, highlighting the region’s abstract art from the 1960s to the 21st century.
