FURTHER DETAILS
The current owner’s father is an Italian-Chinese who travelled to Italy in the 1980s to study film and theatre.

The present owner’s father met Huang Yongyu at an art exhibition, and they developed a lasting friendship, visiting each other in Italy and China. According to the present owner, the lot was a gift from the artist to his father during Huang’s solo exhibition in Rome in 1986.
