+ OVERVIEW
The bronze "Couple Walking" had been exhibited at the exhibition of "The Art of Yun Gee", organized by Taipei Fine Arts Museum in 1992. Art Historian, David Teh-yu Wang, made positive comments on its creativity and originality, "Under a stronger Cubist influence on Gee at the time is most clearly shown in one of the rare sculptures made by Gee, 'Couple Walking', from 1932, a bronze cast made from the original wood sculpture. However, I would like to reiterate the fact that Cubism was yet to be properly introduced to New Yorkers, and works in Cubist manner were regarded avant-garde by New Yorkers." (refer to 'Yun Gee Retrospective His Life and Art Before 1936' by David Teh-yu Wang, catalogue of "The Art of Yun Gee", Taipei Fine Arts Museum, 1992, p. 19)
