Established in 1970 in London by Angela Flowers, Flowers Gallery is one of the longest-running international contemporary art galleries, celebrating its 50th Anniversary throughout 2020. The gallery currently represents more than 50 international artists and artist's estates. The Hong Kong space will complement the global programme of exhibitions with a dedicated series of Spotlight exhibitions to introduce international gallery artists to the region.

The inaugural exhibition Spotlight on Michael Wolf will showcase examples of his extensive investigation of the lives of ordinary Hong Kong inhabitants. Wolf devoted his career to exploring the complexity of life in megacities, focusing in particular on the dense urban environment of Hong Kong. The exhibition presents examples of iconic works, including the internationally renowned series Architecture of Density, presenting an abstracted view of Hong Kong’s seemingly endless residential and industrial facades. Alongside the largescale photographs will be works from Informal Solutions, a series of photographic typologies and vernacular sculptures that show an intimate perspective of the city from within its hidden network of back alleys. The exhibition also includes Cheung Chau Sunrises, Wolf's last project before his death in 2019. Marking the end of his intensive focus on the confined metropolis, in which the sky was conspicuously absent, Wolf's discovery of the horizon in this contemplative series can be understood as a gesture of liberation from the modern city, representing the hopeful prospect of peace and renewal. Every morning over two years, Michael Wolf photographed the rising sun from his home above the Cheung Chau shore, capturing the transient daily spectacle in a state of boundless transformation.

Managing Director Matthew Flowers says: "Our expansion into a permanent location in Asia reflects the development of strong relationships with artists, collectors, curators and Museums in the region. Hong Kong is an extremely vibrant and influential global hub, connecting collectors with art from around the world. Timing this opening with the gallery's 50th anniversary demonstrates our commitment to build a new and exciting future while celebrating the achievements of the past."
