The Met Adds a Major Chang Dai-Chien Collection to Its Walls

· 1 min read

New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has brought a substantial group of paintings by Chang Dai-Chien into its holdings. The acquisition is described as part of the museum's effort to present a fuller, more inclusive account of twentieth-century art. Chang, celebrated for his luminous, ink-based compositions, now finds a deeper home within one of the country's leading collecting institutions. The move signals continued expansion of the Met's holdings beyond the traditional Western canon.

With reporting from Artnet News.
