Study on the presence of the Ton-fan Group in Barcelona from the exhibition at the Palau de la Virreina in 1958. The Ton-fan group is considered the first group of Chinese abstract art from Taipei and, therefore, dissident of the policies of the government of Chiang Kai-shek. Find out more about the presence in Barcelona of the artist Hsiao Chin, a member of the group. Analyse the works of the group's components that are preserved at Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).
