The 900 sq m de Sarthe Gallery takes up the 20th floor of a new office block. The French gallery has exhibited an array of Western and Asia artists, from French impressionists, and post-war artists, to contemporary and emerging talent. At the time of research, painter Lu Xinjian was presenting his paintings of metropolises in an exhibition entitled 'Boogie Woogie'.
