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 dispaly of 32 "Rare Birds of China" at the Gala Dinner at the Great Hall of the People in Tiananmen Square.
