Searching for the Treasures My Father Left Us

Featured: Chen Lee’s daughter, Romana, serving as project lead, prepares for the day ahead.

And so it begins.

Today was Day 1 of unpacking and organizing the Chen Lok Lee collection. I felt like a treasure hunter!

Appreciation to Asian Arts Initiative for donating space to this project, Paola Morsiani of the Brodsky Center at PAFA for being my executive sponsor, and Sara Havekotte of the Brandywine Workshop for being an amazing organizer.

We’ve made so much progress so far!

今天是开箱整理李阐洛收藏品的第一天。我觉得自己像个寻宝者！

 感谢@asianartsphilly为该项目捐赠空间，感谢@brodskycenteratpafa的@paolamorsiani是我的执行赞助商，感谢@brandywine_workshop的@ sara.k.havekotte是一个了不起的组织者。

 到目前为止，我们已经取得了很大的进步！

  • Romana looks on at the work ahead of them for the day, and is grateful for the beautiful, sunlit space at the Asian Arts Initiative.
Sara, Romana’s project assistant most recently worked at the Brandywine Workshop, and is an expert in cataloguing artist collections.
As a means to get organized, Romana and Sara layed out the different lithographs and watercolors and grouped them, capturing an image, measurements, signature, title, date and edition when available.
Select Chinese watercolors that are part of the artist’s collection.
