Chinese Art Historian, Dr. Sarah Handler, is an independent scholar and has written definitive books on Chinese furniture, including Ming Furniture in the Light of Chinese Architecture, and Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture. She has taught at UCLA and the University of Michigan. Her research is especially important for the Huntington Chinese garden project because of her interpretive focus on architecture. Buildings are one of the “essentials” of a Chinese garden and distinguish the garden style from others such as Japanese, French and English.
