The MKL Collection History

A significant basket, pottery, jewelry and Inuit collection was recently purchased from the Margaret Kung-Ting Liu estate. Here is an edited Obituary written by her brothers.  Items will be listed within the next 2 weeks.

"Our sister, Margaret Kung-Ting Liu, the third child among fivesiblings, was born in Berlin, on December 17, 1932. As with our entire family, the Sino-Japanese war which spread worldwide into World War II and the following Communist Revolution in China deeply affected us. As a consequence, these wars split the family and resulted in my Mother and the children becoming immigrants in the United States in 1946.

Margaret graduated in 1954 from Bryn Mawr College with a BA in chemistry and worked in medical research, including at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), until 1972 on various projects, including ape viruses, co-authoring a number of papers on this topic and Vitamin  B12 uptake. In 1972, she received her M.A. in English Literature from George Washington University, in Washington, D.C.

Margaret Liu was a Native speaker in Chinese and English, proficient in German and French, somewhat in Latin, due to the
various schools she attended during the war years, including the Kaiser Wilhem schools in China.

Margaret and her partner Timmy Marx, also a Bryn Mawr graduate and professor, collected Native American art, and enjoyed music, Western art, cooking, good food and traveling. A portion of their Inuit collection was donated to Bryn Mawr College. 

During the 1960s, possibly earlier, Margaret and many of the Liu family would travel to the Southwest each summer, stopping off in
Gallup, Santa Fe and other Southwest cities, visiting trading posts and galleries carrying Native American art. During her long career
as a professor, she and Marx would continue collectiing, often from prominent dealers, amassing a large collection of baskets, pots,
sculpture (including Inuit carvings), jewelry and books on Native American art."
