Construction, 1957 by Fan Ho. 

 

Greetings friends,   
 
Currently, Fan Ho has an exhibition at San Francisco International Airport in conjunction with SFO Museum. The exhibition is in Terminal 2, Level 2, pre-security

Please join us tomorrow at SFO, Friday, August 1, from 2-4pm, to meet Mr. Ho and see a selection of images from his first book, Hong Kong Yesterday. If you have any of his books, this will be a great time to have him sign them. In addition to the photographs on the walls, Mr. Ho will also have a mock up of his upcoming book, Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir!  More information below.

Also, please mark your calender for the First Thursday Art Walk, taking place August 7, 5:30-7:30pm. In addition to the art walk at 49 Geary, Union Square is hosting Food + Art event. Click here for details and prizes!

We look forward to your next visit!

Kind regards,  
 
Mark, Bryan, Danny, & Clara 
 
 
Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir
New Book by Modernbook Editions

Modernbook Editions is pleased to announce our next publication,  Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir.

This new book completes the trilogy Fan Ho began with Hong Kong Yesterday and The Living Theatre. In his previous monographs, viewers were introduced to Hong Kong during the 1950s and 1960s.

Through his brilliant eye for light, composition, and his patience for the 'decisive moment,' Mr. Ho created striking images that continue to resonate through the decades. Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir revisits this lost era with a combination of never before seen images and introduces new-montaged photographs.
