"Artificial Rock," 2000, stainless steel
Ancient limestone from China from the Met's "Scholars' Rocks" exhibit. I love the idea of these pieces that are meant to inspire learning and also be art objects.

yet another fred comment!:
this guy makes tons of these (of course) but my favorite twist is, if i remember right, he made a model of an asteroid and wanted to launch it back it to space as a sort of exchange. Chinese people LOVE those old rocks.
Liz! I just saw a really good show of Zhan Wang's work at Long March Gallery. I took pictures for you!>.. but they somehow didn't take. Next time!
