In 1986, to celebrate the centennial of the Statue of Liberty, T.F. Chen painted one hundred portraits of her. These works showcase the Statue of Liberty’s rich symbolism and connotations, as well as imaginative and associative elements that are both intricate and grand, drawing on extensive references and diverse styles.

Apart from featuring one hundred color artworks, the book also includes short essays and poems for each piece. Additionally, it contains articles by art critic Lawrence Jeppson and the artist himself, a preface by Congressman Stephen Solarz, and a poem by the poet laureate Honorable Sir Leonard Conner. This compilation is a rare combination of literature and art.

The book has become a textbook or reference book in many middle and elementary schools and is also a collectible for freedom lovers. It is commemorated annually on the Statue of Liberty’s birthday.
