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.

Famous quotes containing the words artistic and/or work:
“The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
