From the Collection of Kemin Hu


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.
