For love, for art

Arguably the most famous art-collecting couple in China, Liu Yiqian and his wife Wang Wei have continued their prolific streak with the opening of the new Long Museumin Chongqing

While artists, officials and guests gathered in the banquet hall to celebrate the opening of the Long Museum in Chongqing, a man was fast asleep in the hallway with his feet, clad in purple socks, propped on the coffee table.

Oddly enough, it was the founder of the Long Museum himself, Liu Yiqian, who was on the side-lines of the celebrations. Given his hectic schedule ahead of this much-anticipated opening of the museum, hardly anyone would fault him for his faux pas.
