...stone—as well as using photography under ultraviolet light, archaeologists were able to trace the remaining pigment residues on the sculptures, and so recreate the appropriate colors that adorned these pieces of art. The exhibit is separated into three time periods: Greek sculptures from the archaic and classical period (c. 600 B.C.E — c. 330 B.C.E), sculptures from the Hellenistic period (c. 330 B.C.E — c.31 B.C.E), and sculptures from the Near East, Egypt, and the prehistoric era of the Greek Cycladic Islands.

...released a small selection of photographs in 1992, in the now unobtainable Lo Fung Stories ("Lo Fung" is the archaic literary name for Hong Kong). It was a masterpiece of editing, and a stunning publishing debut: here was a major photographic talent, arriving on the bookshelf or coffee table in a fully formed state and with images that practically hummed with love for the city and its proletariat. "I was born here, I have always lived here and all my work is here," Yau said in the foreword. In his sense of place, he was to Hong Kong what Robert...
