As a 50th anniversary gift to the museum, the Society for Asian Art
has commissioned a major work by Liu Jianhua, one of China's
best-known contemporary installation artists. The work comprises
approximately 2,500 pieces of white porcelain formed into letters
of the English alphabet and components of Chinese characters,
suspended from the ceiling of the second-floor loggia. The artist
provides only the building blocks of words, leaving it to viewers
to create meaning. The artwork's location is especially apropos:
the space offers an opportunity for dialogue with the original
engraved literary quotations on the loggia's walls, dating to the
building's previous incarnation as San Francisco's Main Library.
