This month, Richard Koh Fine Art commemorates its 15th year in Malaysia, something that gallerist Richard Koh himself probably never imagined when he set up the gallery all those years ago.

He had been an art advisor and consultant since the early 1990s, but never had the intention to run an art gallery. That is, until serendipity struck in the form of disgruntled artists.
