Elizabeth Wang Gallery
Traditional Contemporary Chinese Art Since 1993 in New York City
Celebrating 30 Years of Promoting Traditional Contemporary Chinese Art in New York City
and Around the World
As we celebrate our 30th years of promoting contemporary Chinese art, our tradition continues in building treasured collections for individuals, corporations and museums worldwide.
Since its founding in 1993, the Elizabeth Wang Gallery has established itself as the primary source for many of China's most celebrated contemporary artists. We pride ourselves in our exclusive relationships with many of these important artists, and to working with collectors to provide access to their unique artworks.
Our tradition of excellence includes several special exhibitions. One of particular note was the retrospective exhibition of the "Aquarelles de Chen Chi", commemorating the World Cultural Summit at the Palace of Versailles, France. This was the first exhibition of a living Chinese artist at Versailles. The collection continues to be displayed at the Chen Chi Art Museum in Shanghai.
The Elizabeth Wang Gallery also collaborates with leading museums and institutions around the world to introduce the finest contemporary Chinese artists to their patrons. Several examples were the exhibition of the "Landscape of Memory: The Art of Mu Xin" at the Yale University Art Gallery, the David Alfred Smart Museum of Art, the Honolulu Academy of Arts and the Asia Society Museum.
In 2004, the Elizabeth Wang Gallery was honored to participate at the World Economic Forum - China Business Summit in Beijing. The highlights of this event was the Mu Xin's art exhibition and the special display of 32 "Rare Birds of China" at the Gala Dinner at the Great Hall of the People in Tiananmen Square.
On the occasion of our 10th Anniversary New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg congratulated the Elizabeth Wang Gallery for its "Tremendous contribution in bringing modern Chinese art to the City and to helping make New York City the Cultural Capital of the World".
We are proud that many of our artists have gained their international recognition and fame, such as Xinle Ma who lead 16 top artists from Chinese Artists Association at the National Arts Club in New York, Zhiyuan Cong with his "Beyond East and West" exhibition at the United Nations, and Ellen Qiongzhao Schicktanz bringing American historic artworks and sculptures to the Federal Hall National Memorial in Wall Street.
The Elizabeth Wang Gallery continues its commitment to provide the finest contemporary Chinese art to the global community and thereby to contribute to a world of beauty, harmony and peace in the 21st century.
