China Chow is back on Bravo as a host and judge for the sophomore season of Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. Chow was born into the contemporary art world. She grew up in her father Michael’s famed Mr. Chow restaurants — where the world’s most important artists have always felt comfortable eating noodles and making doodles. Her mother, fashion icon Tina Chow, was muse to Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The daughter of a top chef and a top model, Chow now faces the difficult task of anointing top artist on what promises to be a season as exciting as she is enthusiastic. China brings this signature enthusiasm, along with her discerning eye for art and her impeccable wardrobe, into your living room this fall.
