Steven Malum Erickson had a lifelong interest in Chinese culture and painting. Afforded an opportunity to visit China as a student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Mr. Erickson attended the Chinese Academy of Arts training programs for the study of Chinese landscape painting in Hangzhou, under the guidance of artists such as Lu Yanshou and Sha Menghai. At his home in Seattle, he hosted Chinese artists who visited the United States. Among his friends in the art world, Xu Bing, Gu Wenda and Wang Dongling were all welcomed to his Pacific Northwest home. Many of his items have made it into university collections and local museums. We are hoping to find homes for the balance of items in his home.
