Kemin Hu’s passionate interest in scholars’
stones came from her father, Hu Zhao-kang, a noted connoisseur of Chinese
antiquities. Kemin’s own vast collection of scholars’ rocks has been featured
in several exhibitions, including at the Staten Island Botanical Garden, and
she has been interviewed on Chinese television about her collecting career. She
has lectured widely on the subject and is the author of Spirit of Gongshi:
Chinese Scholars Rocks and Scholars Rocks in Ancient China: The Suyuan Stone
Catalogue. Museums throughout both America and China use her expertise to judge
and place their collections.
