Returning To Paris!
I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the notion that we will be returning to Paris only a short two months from now. Back in February, when we were invited to display my father’s work at Cite de l’architecture & du patrimione in October, it seemed so far away.
Funny Thought of the Week…
We just received a book from China! It’s a large, 400 page hardcover illustrated book with captions in Chinese and English about the Westlake Expo of 1929 recently published. (Thank you to our friend Tongrun!)
Intermission…
This is just a quick intermission before the craziness starts again in the next few months… We’re excited about the Singapore Heritage Week Exhibit that is now going on and we encourage all our friends and family in Singapore to attend Dr. Julian Davison’s lecture on Art Deco Architecture in Singapore on August 3, 2013.
Handed Down from Father to Daughter
I ended the last blog by saying that searching my father’s life and work has given me the “gift of doing something with others that I most love to do – travel!” After Jenn read the blog (Jenn reads and edits all my blogs), she comments, “Mom, do you realize that you got your love…
Lost Horizons: Art Deco Architecture of Singapore
We will be participating in an exhibit in Singapore! And since Gayook lived in Singapore for over 6 months, this exhibit is doubly exciting for her. It gives her a chance to share her father’s work with her Singaporean friends and family.
LIFE AFTER CANCER…
“Life After Cancer” is in response to Jenn’s earlier “One Year Cancer Free!” First, a big thank you to my daughter for her care and for giving me the gift of my father. As if that weren’t enough, and to be alive, for my 70th birthday gift, I was given a cruise to Alaska!
Exciting News!
We have exciting news! This past week, our friend Jeff Cody returned from Paris where he picked up our first purchase of Liu’s work. We find it fitting because about a year and a half ago we met Jeff at the Getty Institute, Los Angeles.
Friends Old and New…
Thanks to friends old and new.. Just last week our friend Kenneth Klein from the USC East Asian Studies Library was visiting.
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day! For this special occasion, I think it’s time for you to get to know his progeny – what we’ve become, what we’ve done with our lives , who we are – all because of my father’s sacrifice to keep his family safe.
One Year Cancer-Free!
Last year on June 7th, 2012 my mother Gayook went in for surgery to have 5″ malignant tumor that was sitting on her stomach removed. The technical term is GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor). I am relieved and happy to report she is one year cancer free today, gaining weight and getting stronger!
