In 2013, President George On.
Christophides of the World Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centers, and
Associations (WFUCA) led a group of experts to visit the
International Art Museum of America. They
highly commended the seventy-seven of Dr. Yuhua Wang's artworks on view at that time, and
immediately named the artworks "2013WFUCA."
Professor Stephen Farthing, an art scholar of world
authority—Royal Academician of the Royal Academy of Arts in the
United Kingdom, and the former Rootstein Hopkins Research
Chair of Drawing at the University of the
Arts in London—commented that "Dr. Wang's paintings may draw
heavily on the traditions of Eastern art but they present
themselves as extraordinarily Western ideas and images…Dr. Wang's
paintings very elegantly bring two forces together—the force that
rejects perspective and the force of Photorealism…Professor Wang's
paintings reach across cultures to celebrate the space that exists
intellectually and emotionally between representation and
abstraction, between a fact and an idea."
In 2008, the artworks of Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang were exhibited
in the Gold Room at the United States Capitol. The United States
Congress recognized Dr. Yuhua Wang
as a "great artist and sculptor" and officially chronicled such
recognition in the Congressional Record. The same record also
mentioned that she "takes great pleasure in helping others, is a
selfless person whose moral character is noble, and has made great
contributions to the development of cultural exchange between the
East and the West."
Early 2019, the New York Academy of Art formally recognized the
outstanding talent of Dr. Yuhua Wang
and determined that she is a preeminent international artist of
first class standing. The Academy presented Dr. Wang with a
recognition certificate jointly signed by the President and the
Provost. In the same year, a small painting Pomegranates in a
Basket of the size 18 by 27 inches, was auctioned for the
highest price of US$1.27 million
during the Spring Auction of the Gianguan Auction House in
New York.
Dr. Wang's profoundly exquisite skills brought her the
preeminence status in the art world. The distinguished artworks of
international standing presented in this exhibition include a total
of seventy of Dr. Wang's ink paintings of distinguished style,
super-realistic paintings, and surrealistic paintings of abstract
colors.
