Caves Art Center

In 1983, painter Mr. Pin Tao HONG founded Cave Art Center from the perspective of an operator and promoter in order to provide a venue for young and middle-aged artists to express themselves. It has gone through the 1980s when Taiwan's economy developed and the 1990s when cultural diversity flourished. In addition to being dedicated to the management of the art industry, it also opened the Dunhuang Academy, initiated the first lectures on folk art research and appreciation, created a popular art trend, published Dunhuang Art News, and launched an online art auction. At the same time, we organize the history of Chinese oil painting and contemporary ink painting from the perspective of art history, and rediscover outstanding artists who were buried in the turmoil of the times. The older generation of painters introduced by Dunhuang and active in the Asian art market include Yu Ben, Sha Qi, Li Qingping, Hu Shanyu, Jia Youfu, etc., which have earned them their due status and evaluation in art history and academic circles. Contemporary ink writing also includes Zhang Daqian, Jiang Zhaoshen, Zhou Cheng, Li Yihong, Li Ancheng, Liu Guosong, Chu Ge, Jiang Xun, Xi Murong, Li Xiaokun, Xiao Yu, etc.

With nearly 40 years of experience in art market management, he is well aware of the differences between different cultures and the personalities and characteristics of the art market, which has shortened the distance between international cultural people. Having gained many years of experience in the art market since its operation, we hope to continue to promote Taiwan's outstanding local artists internationally and exert the interaction and influence of Eastern culture and the world in the art field.
