How was it like to walk up to the Mid-Levels, before the escalator was set in place, before the wet markets made way for bars and restaurant? And how would the story change, if we find a handwritten letter of someone recounting those experiences from so many years ago?# k4 H6 I/ f0 t" O& v

Earlier from February to April at Hong Kong University Museum and Art Gallery, a selection of archival materials was in display to complement the story which the exhibition “Encounters: Twentieth-century Chinese Art from the Khoan and Michael Sullivan Collection” tried to tell. Amongst these materials are correspondences between the collector and artists from decades ago, where artists sometimes recounted the hardships of sustaining a living, and at the same time, the jovial moments of encountering like-minded individuals to share their love of art. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb3 \.

Would players of the art field – those artists, writers, curators, gallerists, collectors alike - keep such materials? What would happen to these materials if its owner dies? Or would academics have their private collection too (they tend to accumulate an exponential amount of research materials, don’t you think so?)?
