Sign up for the Spring 2015 Arts of Asia lecture series, and learn why certain artworks in the Asian Art Museum’s collection are considered “masterpieces” or “iconic.” The series will begin with an overview of how the museum’s collection was assembled given by instructor of record, Dany Chan. Subsequent lectures will be delivered by AAM curators and preeminent scholars including Robert Mowry, Susan Huntington, and Samuel Morse. Each speaker will focus on a single object or pair of objects which has been designated a “masterpiece” or “iconic.” In addition to aesthetic qualities, other pertinent aspects will be discussed such as context (historical, cultural, and artistic), usage, and production technique. Bearing in mind the approach of the museum’s 50th Anniversary, the Spring series will not only showcase the AAM’s most celebrated artworks but also provide opportunities to familiarize the SAA audience with the museum’s exceptionally talented and knowledgeable curators.
