Artistic Work
Wong's interested and talent in pottery took off after she was grateful enough to have a merchant on Grant Avenue in San Francisco put her work in their store front. Her pottery was later displayed in art museums across the United States, including a 2002 exhibition at the Chinese Historical Society of America. They were also displayed at The M.H. de Young Museum (Memorial Museum), the museum of Modern Art (San Francisco), Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Modern Art (New York City), The National Collection of Fine Arts at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington D.C.) and the Cincinnati Art Museum. In addition to her displays across the country, Wong also had permanent collections at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Detroit Institute of Arts and the International Ceramic Museum in Faenza, Italy. The popularity of pottery and enamelware lead to Wong having one-women shows at the Art Institute of Chicago and later to museums in Detroit, Omaha, Nebraska and Portland, Oregon.
