The four exhibitions over two years involve about 200 artists from across the world: Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.

And when all the four shows are put together, it will cover the entire contemporary art world, says the curator.

Some of the works on show were provided by artists after discussions with the curator, and some are from Parkview Museum's own collection, a huge private art trove owned by Hong Kong collector George Wong, who passed away in December.

It's believed that Wong's collection includes 45 of Salvador Dali's works, dozens of Buddha statues and thousands of contemporary art pieces.

The idea of the exhibition was brought up by Wong four years ago with Hegyi. And the works will be displayed both at the Parkview Museum in Beijing and its branch in Singapore.

The second show will be about artists' manuscripts, for which the curator has spent the past four years visiting artists.

"It's a huge project, but it is worth it," Hegyi says.
