martin wong painting unseen art basel miami beach ppow

A long-unseen 12-foot-wide painting by Martin Wong, titled *Tai Ping Tien Kuo (Tai Ping Kuo)* (1982), will be exhibited at Art Basel Miami Beach next month courtesy of New York gallery P.P.O.W. The work, which features a rare nude portrait of the artist’s mother and stepfather, was last shown publicly in 1987 at the Asian Arts Institute in New York. It was kept in storage for decades because Wong’s mother, Florence Wong Fie, objected to its display out of modesty. The painting adopts a classical three-panel altarpiece format, blending Chinese American history with references to Western art, the Taiping Rebellion, and Wong’s own Lower East Side influences.

Enter the unsettled space of Asian American abstraction

The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation in New York is hosting the exhibition "How Asian Is It?", featuring 12 pioneering East Asian American abstractionists born between 1928 and 1955. Curated by Lilly Wei, the show includes works by Barbara Takenaga, Emily Cheng, Charles Yuen, and David Diao, among others. These artists navigated an art world where downplaying their Asian identities often felt necessary for survival, especially after the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act reshaped US immigration policy. The exhibition explores how their abstraction—marked by attention to interval, pause, and what remains unsaid—reflects a disciplined negotiation with space rather than a shared style or manifesto.

One Fine Show: “Beyond Mysticism, The Modern Northwest” at the Seattle Art Museum

A new exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum, “Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest,” reexamines the legacy of a 1953 LIFE magazine feature that anointed four Seattle artists—Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan, and Guy Anderson—as the faces of a distinct regional Modernism. The show expands the original narrative by including Asian artists like Kamekichi Tokita, whose work challenges the magazine's oversimplified framing, and features 150 works across painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture. It also connects the movement to Abstract Expressionism and contemporary environmental concerns, pairing pieces by artists such as Malcolm Roberts with works by Salvador Dalí and Georgia O'Keeffe.
