This two-volume publication represents the only comprehensive
documentation of one of the finest private collections of Asian art
in the world. More than 1,000 works of art are shown in exquisite
color reproductions, along with a special reference section of
illustrated and translated texts, signatures, and seals. Since the
collection will be dispersed for public use, "Art Through a
Lifetime" provides the only opportunity for scholars, students, and
admirers of Asian art to enjoy it in its entirety.
The first volume of this boxed set, Japanese Painting, Printed
Works, Calligraphy, presents Japanese paintings, printed works, and
calligraphy that date from the Nara period to the late 20th
century. The second volume, Japanese Objects, Korean Art, Chinese
Art, presents the remainder of the Japanese works--ceramics,
lacquer, metalwork, sculpture, and textiles--along with an
extensive array of Korean and Chinese works of art.
Miyeko Murase is professor emerita of Japanese art at Columbia
University and special consultant to the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. Soyoung Lee is associate curator for Korean art at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. David Ake Sensabaugh is the Ruth and
Bruce Dayton Curator of Asian Art, Yale University Art Gallery.
Shi-yee Liu, senior research associate in the Department of Asian
Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, provided translations.
