200 YEARS JOURNEY THROUGH THAI MODERN ART HISTORY
Collection of Kornkamol and Piriya Vachajitpan
The National Museum of Thailand (Chao Fa Art Gallery) and The Art Auction Center invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of time through stories passed down from texts and oral traditions in the exhibition "200 YEARS JOURNEY THROUGH THAI MODERN ART HISTORY." This exhibition weaves together over two centuries of art history, from Khrua In Khong (around the reign of King Rama IV) to the present. It showcases more than 100 rare and significant artworks from the collection of Kornkamol and Piriya Vachajitpan, art collectors and founders of The Art Auction Center, Thailand's leading art auction company. Their concept of a "public art museum" opens the door for art enthusiasts to appreciate masterpieces by both master artists and emerging talents who have brought Thai art to international acclaim.
Join the journey through the history of Thai modern art, from the Siamese art during the Colonial Era to the beginnings of modern art in Thailand. Marvel at the valuable paintings of "Khrua In Khong”, the powerful brushstrokes and lines of "Thawan Duchanee," and the contemporary art of "Molly-Nisa Srikumdee" (Crybaby). This exhibition also includes exquisite paintings and sculptures by nearly all of Thailand's most renowned artists. Amid the hundred art pieces you will enjoy up close, we have selected seven rare masterpieces featured in this exhibition.
