About the Publication

Cheung Yee (1936–2019) stands as the definitive vanguard of modernist sculpture and printmaking in Hong Kong. Rising to prominence across Asia in the 1960s, Cheung staged over twenty solo exhibitions globally and completed more than fifty major art commissions before relocating to California in 1998. His mastery earned him prestigious accolades, including an MBE from Queen Elizabeth II in 1979. Today, his body of work remains a foundational milestone in the trajectory of Hong Kong’s modern art landscape and his legacy persists in the Sinophone world.

This publication merges rigorous art historical research with field research studies to deliver an exhaustive exploration of Cheung’s life and creative output. Kathy Mak conducted historical research to examine archival documents, photography, and original works, mapping Cheung’s trajectory against international aesthetic movements while decoding the dual modern-contemporary spirit within his oeuvre. Complementing this, Kurt Chan—a longtime peer of the artist—provides a practitioner’s perspective through intimate interviews with the artist’s family, peers, and students, tracing his post-war education and interpreting his artistic philosophy. For the first time, this volume synchronises life photos and rare sketches with distinct creative periods, framing a vivid portrait of Cheung’s work methodology and life environment. Concluding with interviews from his closest disciples, this book invites readers into the profound interior world of a master who reshaped the soul of Hong Kong sculpture.
