During the 1970s Mrs. Chou Yang ran the well-known Hunglin Art Gallery in Taipei. The climate for modern art in Taiwan was highly conservative in those days, she recalls, noting with a smile: "When Kuo Chen-chang, who was a student at the time, had a show at my gallery, his college gave him a demerit!"
楊蕙如母親周素華女士早在七○年代就在台灣經營知名的鴻霖藝廊，當時台灣現代藝術環境十分保守，「學生時代的郭振昌還因為在我這裡開展，被學校記過呢！」楊媽媽笑著回憶。
