Gateway to Himalayan Art
Place: The Rubin Museum of Art - New York, 150 West 17th St., USA
Date: Jun 11, 2022 to Aug 03, 2025
Detail: Gateway to Himalayan Art introduces you to the main forms, concepts, meanings, and traditions of Himalayan art represented in the Rubin Museum collection.

The exhibition opens with a large map that highlights regions of the diverse Himalayan cultural sphere, including parts of present-day India, China, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia. Gateway invites you to explore exemplary objects from the Museum’s collection, organized and presented in thematic sections: Figures and Symbols, Materials and Techniques, and Purpose and Function.

In addition to sculptures and paintings, objects such as a stupa, prayer wheel, and ritual implements demonstrate how patrons sought the accumulation of merit and hoped for wealth, long life, and spiritual gains, all to be fulfilled through the ritual use of these objects and commissioning works of art.

Among the featured installations are a display that explains the process of Nepalese lost-wax metal casting and a presentation of the stages of Tibetan hanging scroll painting (thangka). You will also encounter life-size reproductions of murals from Tibet’s Lukhang Temple, photographed by Thomas Laird and Clint Clemens.

Also on view are a set of Chinese stone-working tools and illustrations of jade workshops, which will introduce the traditional method of working jade.

Embracing Color: Enamel in Chinese Decorative Arts, 1300–1900
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Jul 02, 2022 to Jan 04, 2026
Detail: Enamel decoration is a significant element of Chinese decorative arts that has long been overlooked. This exhibition reveals the aesthetic, technical, and cultural achievement of Chinese enamel wares by demonstrating the transformative role of enamel during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. The first transformational moment occurred in the late 14th to 15th century, when the introduction of cloisonné enamel from the West, along with the development of porcelain with overglaze enamels, led to a shift away from a monochromatic palette to colorful works. The second transformation occurred in the late 17th to 18th century, when European enameling materials and techniques were brought to the Qing court and more subtle and varied color tones were developed on enamels applied over porcelain, metal, glass, and other mediums. In both moments, Chinese artists did not simply adopt or copy foreign techniques; they actively created new colors and styles that reflected their own taste. The more than 100 objects on view are drawn mainly from The Met collection.

Park Chan-kyong: Gathering
Place: Arthur M. Sackler Gallery | Gallery 28 - Washington, 1050 Independence Ave. SW, USA
Date: Oct 07, 2023 to Oct 13, 2024
Detail: Seoul-based artist Park Chan-kyong has gained international recognition for his use of photography and film to examine the complex history of modern Korea.

Knotted Clay: Raku Ceramics and Tea
Place: Smithsonian Institution - Washington, 1050 Independence Ave. SW, USA
Date: Dec 09, 2023 to Dec 09, 2026
Detail: Japan’s rich history of ceramic artistry developed in large part alongside the culture of drinking tea. The practice of preparing and serving matcha, powdered green tea, was called chanoyu (literally, “hot water for tea”) and gained popularity in the sixteenth century. Japanese tea practitioners initially used Chinese and Korean antique ceramics as tea bowls but began using newly made Japanese tea bowls, such as Raku ware, in the sixteenth century. Raku ware shares its name with the family that has made these ceramics in Kyoto since the sixteenth century. Unlike most tea bowls, Raku ceramics are built by hand—a process described as “knotting clay”—as opposed to using a wheel. Sixteenth-century potters are said to have collaborated closely with their tea-practitioner patrons to create distinctive vessels best-suited for tea drinking.

Over the next four centuries, a network of Japanese potters incorporated Raku techniques into their practice; these techniques were later adopted in the 1950s by the American studio pottery movement. Raku wares are now internationally recognized as a Japanese ceramic style and continue to inspire artistic creativity worldwide. Knotted Clay: Raku Ceramics and Tea explores these distinctive, hand-molded ceramics and their close relationship to Japanese tea culture. This exhibition features tea bowls, water containers, and other vessels in the museum’s permanent collection that demonstrate the glazes and forms unique to Raku ware.

Celebrating the Year of the Dragon
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Feb 03, 2024 to Jan 31, 2025
Detail: February 10, 2024, marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Dragon, the most celebrated animal in Chinese culture. This exhibition assembles a remarkable selection of more than twenty works from the Museum’s permanent collection that depict this imaginary animal in various media, including ceramic, jade, lacquer, metalwork, and textile. Together they illustrate the significant role that the dragon plays as a symbol of imperial authority, a dynamic force to dispel evil influences, and a benevolent deity that brings auspicious rain to all life on earth. Most notable are a third-century BCE jade pendant of a spirited dragon with a sinuous body, a recent acquisition of a seventh-century bronze mirror with symbols of the four cardinal directions, and a massive sixteenth-century jar of blue and white porcelain with vigorous dragons writhing through clouds and waves.

Striking Objects: Contemporary Japanese Metalwork
Place: Arthur M. Sackler Gallery | Gallery 22 - Washington, 1050 Independence Ave. SW, USA
Date: Mar 02, 2024 to Jan 02, 2026
Detail: Metalworking is at once powerful and delicate. Immense labor and heat are required to extract pure metals from ore to form alloys that are then made into flat metal sheets. The technique of hammering introduces powerful blows to create a shape, yet it can also soften and refine metal through the gentle warmth of rhythmic strikes. Traditional Japanese metalworking evolved to produce functional items, such as vessels and tools. Hammering was primarily applied to create water containers for making tea, gongs for both religious and secular use, bells, swords, and armor. Over time, the development of alloys, patination methods, and the infusion of foreign decorative techniques, such as chasing and inlay, expanded the visual and aesthetic potential of hammered metalwork.

Contemporary Japanese metalworking breathes life into traditional methods that have been passed down and practiced over generations. The artists featured in Striking Objects create masterpieces that combine tradition with creativity and innovation. The exhibition highlights works from the collection of Shirley Z. Johnson (1940–2021), distinguished lawyer, philanthropist, and former board member of the National Museum of Asian Art. Her passion for contemporary Japanese metalwork and her visionary gift have made the National Museum of Asian Art home to the largest collection of such works in the United States.

Imagined Neighbors: Japanese Visions of China, 1680–1980
Place: Freer Gallery of Art | Galleries 5, 6, 6a, 7, 8 - Washington, 1050 Independence Ave. SW, USA
Date: Mar 16, 2024 to Sep 15, 2024
Detail: During the Edo period (1603–1868), feudal Japan was largely closed off from the outside world. For three hundred years, a loose movement of Japanese artists, often referred to as literati, turned to neighboring China—variably a source for emulation and a source of rivalry—for inspiration. Through painting and calligraphy, they created immersive environments in which artists and viewers alike could mentally withdraw from worldly affairs. As disparate and diverse as the literati movement was, its members were united by a common language that embraced diverse notions of “China”—a place both familiar and foreign, as much imagined as it was known. Throughout a period of modernization during the Meiji era (1868–1912) and after, when all facets of life in Japan were radically changing, China’s historic role in helping shape the fabric of Japanese history and culture remained a touchstone for Japanese artists, even in the context of imperialism and war.

Imagined Neighbors presents Japanese artworks from the Mary and Cheney Cowles Collection, given to the National Museum of Asian Art between 2018 and 2022. The Cowles Collection is arguably the largest and most comprehensive group of Japanese literati works outside of Japan. The paintings and calligraphy in this exhibition fuse reality with imagination and remain important to understanding the continuing, complex engagement of Japanese artists with China, to them both a real and an imagined place.

Staging the Supernatural: Ghosts and the Theater in Japanese Prints
Place: Smithsonian Institution - Washington, 1050 Independence Ave. SW, USA
Date: Mar 23, 2024 to Oct 06, 2024
Detail: Throughout Japanese cultural history, the boundary between the real world and the world of supernatural beings has been remarkably porous. Certain sites, states of mind, or periods in the lunar cycle made humans particularly vulnerable to ghostly intervention. The Edo period (1603–1868) was a crucial stage in the development and solidification of ideas about the supernatural. Many of the beliefs that gained currency at this time are still held as conventional wisdom in Japan today.

Supernatural entities came to life especially during noh and kabuki theater performances. Explore—if you dare—the roles that ghosts and spirits play in the retelling of Japanese legends and real events. Staging the Supernatural brings together a collection of vibrant, colorful woodblock prints and illustrated books depicting the specters that haunt these two theatrical traditions.

Hazara dress and embroidery from Afghanistan
Place: V&A South Kensington - London, Cromwell Road, United Kingdom
Date: Apr 14, 2024 to Apr 14, 2025
Detail: Afghanistan has always been home to many peoples and cultures. The Hazara people speak Hazaragi, a language related to Persian, and make up the third largest ethnic group in the country. In the past, they lived in many areas of Afghanistan. But today, many have been displaced and they continue to face persecution. In the face of hostility, embroidery and dress help to maintain a sense of communal identity for the Hazara people, both in Afghanistan and among diaspora communities. The vibrant examples in this display reveal the technical and design skills of the Hazara dressmakers and embroiderers.

Silk Roads
Place: British Museum - London, Great Russell Street, United Kingdom
Date: Sep 26, 2024 to Feb 23, 2025
Detail: Camel caravans crossing desert dunes, merchants trading silks and spices at bazaars – these are the images that come to mind when we think of the Silk Roads. But the reality goes far beyond this.

Rather than a single trade route from East to West, the Silk Roads were made up of overlapping networks linking communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, from Japan to Britain, and from Scandinavia to Madagascar. This major exhibition unravels how the journeys of people, objects and ideas that formed the Silk Roads shaped cultures and histories.

The Silk Roads were in use for millennia, but this visually stunning show focuses on a defining period in their history, from about AD 500 to 1000. This time witnessed significant leaps in connectivity and the rise of universal religions that linked communities across continents.

Working with 29 national and international partners to present objects from many regions and cultures alongside those from the British Museum collection, the exhibition offers a unique chance to see objects from the length and breadth of the Silk Roads. From Indian garnets found in Suffolk to Iranian glass unearthed in Japan, they reveal the astonishing reach of these networks.

Fukusa: Japanese Gift Covers from the Chris Hall Collection

Detail: Daily, 10am–7pm | Fridays, 10am–9pm

$6 for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents; $16 for Foreigners

Why and how do we give gifts? The act of gifting is deeply ingrained and takes many forms across histories and cultures. In Japan, the practice of formally presenting gifts with silk covers called fukusa began in the Edo period (1603–1868). These covers were draped or folded over gifts for a variety of occasions, from seasonal festivities to important personal events, and are some of the finest examples of Japanese textile artistry.

Fukusa: Japanese Gift Covers from the Chris Hall Collection celebrates a major gift of Japanese art from the renowned collector Chris Hall. With over 80 fukusa, kimonos, and related textiles displayed, the exhibition explores craft; trade and exchange between Japan, China, and the West; and the act of gifting across cultures, as seen through a presentation of Peranakan textiles from the National Collection. Visitors are invited to draw connections between gift customs of the past and present through an interactive digital programme, and to participate in hands-on workshops, performances, and tours.

Extraordinary days were those of festivals, auspicious events and ceremonies; ordinary days were for mundane work. Many of the objects in this exhibition are pieces that were created for extraordinary days, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary through design. A number celebrate food – an aspect of Japanese society that has come to epitomise our view of the singular Japanese devotion to raising everyday events to a level of an artform, in harmony with the seasons. Some pieces give a sense of occasion to the act of writing and artistic creativity.

A Glimpse of Vietnam
Place: Thang Long Art @ Bonhams - London, 101 New Bond Street, Mayfair, United Kingdom
Date: Oct 31, 2024 to Nov 11, 2024
Detail: As part of Asian Art in London 2024, we will be holding a group exhibition at Bonhams Mayfair.
“A Glimpse of Vietnam” – “Một Thoáng Việt Nam”

“A Glimpse of Vietnam” consists of human stories painted by four notable Vietnamese artists, each with their own distinctive and unique point of view and rich with character. The exhibition will showcase a diverse collection of artworks by Master artist Phùng Phẩm (b.1932), artist Lê Thiết Cương (b.1962), women artist Lý Trần Quỳnh Giang (b.1978), and artist Ngô Văn Sắc (b.1980).

The four artists, each hailing from different art generations – from the post-French-colonial era (Hậu Đông Dương) to post-1986 Vietnam’s Renovation (Đổi Mới), through to Contemporary, each with their distinct signature styles and techniques: Phùng Phẩm’s mastery of cubism on traditional Vietnamese lacquer, Lê Thiết Cương’s minimalism with gouache on cheesecloth, Quỳnh Giang’s intense expressions through oil on canvas, and Ngô Văn Sắc’s unique wood-burn and mixed media portraits.

Four artists, four unique styles, and four different perspectives, join together in a symphony to take the viewers on a journey about the culture and the people of Vietnam.
