Pearls on a String

Asian Art Museum
200 Larkin St,
San Francisco, California, USA
Feb 26, 2016 To May 08, 2016


Detail: Pearls on a String takes viewers to the Islamic world in the 16th through 18th centuries to consider the question “Who’s behind the art?” The answer comes in the form of three stories, each centered on a protagonist from a different century and empire: the writer in 16th-century Mughal India, the painter in 17th-century Safavid Iran and the patron in 18th-century Ottoman Turkey.
