The National Museum of History and Art in Luxemburg (Luxemburg) presents two paintings by Zao Wou-Ki lent by private collections, as part of the presentation of its permanent modern and contemporaneous collections. 24.05.65 (162 x 150 cm), with its raw style and 24.09.71 (130 x 97 cm) in more acid hues, evidence these years when the influence of American abstraction meets with space research revivified by his Chinese roots. Zao Wou-Ki’s paintings are surrounded by paintings by Pierre Alechinsky, Asger Jorn, Jean Dubuffet, Pierre Soulages and Hans Hartung, artists he met in post-war Paris.
