Every year, thousands of visitors flock to the Asian Art Museum of
San Francisco, the largest museum devoted exclusively to the arts
of Asia in the United States. Featuring more than 18,000 artworks,
the museum's world-class collection highlights the unique material,
aesthetic, and intellectual achievements of Asian art and culture.
This book presents two hundred and thirty exemplary works spanning
both ancient and modern times. Among its many treasures, readers
will find a Japanese clay jar from 3000-2000 BCE, a Chinese bronze
Buddha dating to 338, a seventeenth-century Indian painting from
the Shahnama (Book of Kings), a mid-twentieth-century Korean
wrapping cloth, and a new Thai work made from textile, window mesh,
safety pins, and amulets. A collaboration between museum curators,
artists, educators, and collectors, the book also takes an in-depth
look at fourteen masterpieces selected for their beauty, rarity,
and historical importance. Stunning full-color photographs and new
texts-including a foreword by museum director Ja Xu-offer fresh
perspectives on both ancient and contemporary objects. A handsome
addition to any art history collection, this volume is an essential
resource for museum visitors as well as anyone interested in Asian
art.
