History

Established in 1992.

From its inception White Lotus Gallery has focused on art from Asia. Initially, the inventory was dominated by the contemporary Japanese print collection of founding partner Dick Easley.

The prints of Japan’s leading 20^th century artists remain an important facet of our collection, but from the beginning the dream of gallery director Dr. Hue-​ping Lin was to provide a venue in the U.S. for China’s contemporary artists, particularly printmakers. Her appreciation of the arts and contacts within Chinese art academies has permitted White Lotus Gallery to assemble one of the largest collections of contemporary Chinese prints in the US.

Although under represented and often unknown in the U.S., the work of many of the artists in the collection have been awarded prizes in national and international competitions, and have been collected by leading museums.

Our interest in Japanese prints is still very active. The collection includes the works of Jun’ichiro Sekino and Tanaka Ryohei.
