Lot Essay

This painting was a gift to Mr. Robert Gallo, who was connected to the Babcock Gallery and was a colleague of the owners of Michou Gallery. Both galleries were situated on Madison Avenue in New York City. Chen Qikuan, who emigrated from Taiwan to the United States initially in 1948, had a very close relationship with the Michou Gallery, which launched his painting career.
