Painting conservation materializes 'warming ties' between China and Taiwan

A report on The Independent shows how conservation may mean much more than the mere physical reintegration of a painting. 
Two pieces of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", a 660-year-old painting  by Huang Gongwang have been held by separate institutions since1949 - one piece in Taipei, another in the Zhejiang province of China. They are about to be reunited for a 40-day exhibit in Taiwan, as a signal of warming ties between the governments of China and Taiwan.
