From Shanghai to Ohio: Woo Chong Yung (1898–1989) features 88 works, including painting and calligraphy, carved seals, and a Taiji sword drawn from the collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum and The Frank Museum of Art at Otterbein University. Few of these paintings have ever been published or publicly displayed. Woo’s lifetime body of work illustrates how his remarkable experiences of emigrating from China and becoming an American utterly transformed and reshaped both his life and painting.
Members are invited to view From Shanghai to Ohio: Woo Chong Yung (1898–1989) before the exhibition opens to the public. Enjoy snacks and a cash bar in our Great Hall. When you arrive, please check-in at the Visitors Services desk.
