Celebrate the opening of Hung Liu: Happy and Gay at the Arthur Ross Gallery, located in the historic Fisher Fine Arts Library at the University of Pennsylvania. This special reception invites guests to experience Liu’s vibrant, large-scale paintings that reimagine Mao-era children’s book illustrations with bold color, signature drips, and powerful reinterpretations of propaganda imagery. Enjoy light fare and refreshments while exploring the exhibition and engaging in thoughtful conversation with members of the Penn and Philadelphia arts communities. Join us for an evening of art, dialogue, and connection as we honor the legacy of one of the most significant Chinese American artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
