Xi Zhi Tang Gallery

Founded in October 1994, Xizhitang Gallery mainly deals in paintings and calligraphies by contemporary

and modern artists. By holding major art exhibitions and fine art publication, the gallery has gradually

developed as a multifaceted unit. Xizhitang Gallery is an ideal place for those who hold strong interest in

art to gain keen insight of the current market, offering an opportunity for lovers of the Chinese art to view

many great paintings. It also provides a forum and symposium for artists to exchange ideas and opinions

in various topics. Xizhitang Gallery has been receiving appreciative criticism since the day it inaugurated.

In recent years, Xizhitang Gallery has organized several large-scale exhibitions, with the cooperation of

public or private organizations at home and from abroad, which has contributed remarkably to the

spread, exchange and communication of art and culture. The most representative exhibitions were Joint

Eastern and Western Arts Exhibition by Zhang Daqian and Picasso: The World of Zhang Daqian, at the

National Palace Museum in 1998; Century Exhibition of Li Keran at the National Museum of History and

at Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Art in 2000; Qi Baishi’s Works Exhibition at the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen

Memorial Hall in 2002; Centennial Exhibition of Fu Baoshi at the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in

National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in 2009; and last but not least The Transformation of Imagination

Brings Unexpected Acquisition –The Exhibition of Selected Contemporary Chinese Paintings and

Calligraphy at the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in 2014. These great results have proven

Xizhitang Gallery’s professional ability. The execution of such events has made it receive recognition

and admiration. Chen Hsiaochun, currently the manager of Xizhitang Gallery, is a senior staff member in

the art circle and a very experienced publisher. She has worked as the publisher and the editor-in-chief of

the magazine Art Nobility, and the vice general manager of Wenxin Artistic Salon, a weekly publication of

Central Daily, which was one of the leading newspapers in Taiwan. With rich working experiences,

dedication and a keen insight to fine art, Chen Hsiaochun is committed to providing professional service

and information-based management for Xizhitang Gallery domestically and internationally. Chen has

organized numerous large-scale exhibitions since the establishment of Xizhitang Gallery. However, with

the economic development and rapid changes of the international art market, Xizhitang Gallery is now

changing its strategies and adjusting itself from a traditional gallery to a professional agent to cope with

the transformations and new challenges. Xizhitang Gallery is dedicating its efforts to providing collectors

and art supporters much better professional counseling services through the efficient international

information connections established over the years. The services the gallery provides include:

professional art counseling; systematic planning of art collections; analysis of the investment of art

market; exhibitions and publications with various themes on a regular basis; art activities home and

abroad; and an authorized representative bidding up the international auctions. Xizhitang Gallery has

been expanding its services and anticipating a prosperous future.
