Secretly situated in an alley by a boulevard of Taipei city, the presence of A Gallery has, among many successful commercial and financial institutions, become unique and distinguished. In the meantime, it also reveals a sense of “life for art and art for life” if we take a close look into its curator’s ideal for spatial arrangement and gallery running policy.

​

Li Tien-Ning, the curator of A Gallery, considers Taiwan a place for many potential artists but they are often neglected due to many complex factors from the market and their works are often underestimated by international community of art galleries. Such an observation has become the incentive for Lee to create a platform of A Gallery for these potential artists and introduce them to the global world.

​

Despite not exactly an artist herself, Li Tien-Ning keeps a keen eye and good taste on art and such kind of aesthetic nurturing and facilitation can be associated with her father, Lee Xiqi. When it comes to the development of the modern art in Taiwan, Lee Xiqi has played a significant role as an artist and, moreover, once as an art gallery curator, he had also improved and created more opportunities for the development of modern art in Taiwan to the international community. Many famous Chinese oversea artists such as Chu Tehchun and Chu Tehchun, also other important modern art creators from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Philippine, Thailand and Japan, were closely connected to Taiwan under the curating of Lee Xiqi. Throughout the development of modern art in Taiwan after 80’, Lee has undoubtedly provided a conspicuous trace for us to follow. Thus, Inheriting from this legacy of connoisseurship and practicality from Lee Xiqi, A Gallery will offer a free and pluralistic platform for modern art participators.

​

In a time where modern art in Asia and China have flourished in the art market of Taiwan, with its zeal and mission for the modern art in Taiwan, A Gallery wish to integrate art consultancy, organization and execution with its own faith and resources and promote potential artists in Taiwan to the international market. Also, art forums or activities will be held occasionally to engage audiences from different fields in art conversation. It is anticipated for A Gallery to become a successor of modern art in Taiwan as well as a promoter to introduce the modern art in Taiwan to the international art community. With these faith and gallery running policy, A Gallery also wishes to turn itself into one of irreplaceable professional galleries in the art community of Taiwan.
