Liuligongfang Museum by Loretta Yang
The Liuligongfang Museum showcases glassware from ancient China (dating back to 476 BC) and Europe and the personal collection of Loretta Yang.
LIULIGONGFANG in Tamshui Taiwan, was founded by Loretta Hui-shan Yang and Chang Yi. Yang was a renowned actress in the 70s, Chang Yi was considered one of Taiwan’s foremost cutting-edge directors.At the peak of their careers, Yang and Chang left the film industry and devoted themselves to the creation of contemporary glass arts. Not only was their career shift unexpected, but a shift into glass art was pretty much incomprehensible. Together, they founded the first glass arts workshop in China—Liuligongfang.
Liuli is the archaic Chinese word for glass. It was chosen in hopes that by using liuli and perfecting its craft, they could create art that embodied the beauty of Chinese culture and history.
Liuligongfang’s foremost goal is to develop the art of glass craft, especially the art of Chinese liuli. Yang and Chang felt that the presence of Chinese art and artists was missing in the world of glass—and they aimed to fill in this gap with their pieces created from the pate-de-verre(lost-wax casting) method.
