HONOREES

Shahzia Sikander

Shahzia Sikander is a Pakistani-born artist whose pioneering practice takes Indo-Persian miniature painting as a point of departure and experiments with scale and media, including animation, video, and mural. Recipient of the inaugural U.S. Medal of Art (2012) and the MacArthur Fellowship (2006), Sikander’s work helped launch a resurgence in the miniature painting department in the nineties at the National College of Arts in Pakistan.

 


 

Do Ho Suh

Do Ho Suh is an internationally renowned Korean artist whose site-specific installations and meticulously crafted sculptures question boundaries of identity and conventional notions of scale and space in both its physical and metaphorical manifestation. His thought-provoking works have been represented in many of the world’s leading museums. He was named Wall Street Journal Magazine’s 2013 Innovator of the Year in Art.

 


 

Wucius Wong

Hong Kong based artist Wucius Wong explores the synthesis of traditional Chinese painting and contemporary Western design, primarily through ink art. Wong has participated in numerous exhibitions worldwide, and his works have been collected by museums in America, Europe, Australia, and China. He received the John D. Rockefeller 3rd Fund Grant in 1971, and was awarded the Bronze Bauhinia Star Medal by the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2007. He is currently an adjunct professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and advisor to several Hong Kong public museums.

 


 

Xu Bing

Xu Bing is a Chinese conceptual artist whose works draw on the creative use of language, words, and text. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship in 1999, Xu’s artworks have been exhibited at museums worldwide, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum (London), and several Venice Biennales. In 2015, Xu Bing received the U.S. Department of State Medal of Arts award.
