Chicago, Illinois, USA
Jun 19, 2016 To Aug 21, 2016


Detail: Drawn from Art Institute Trustee and accomplished photographer Barbara Levy Kipper’s sweeping collection of Asian jewelry and ritual objects, the exhibition presents 300 exquisitely crafted works of art that present a panoramic view of the nomadic peoples and ethnic minorities of Asia whose cultures, history, and artistic production deeply inspired Kipper—and will continue to inspire and educate future generations, honoring Kipper’s tremendous generosity and vision, when they join the Art Institute’s permanent collection.
