The Asia Society in New York has unveiled a major exhibition drawn from the Rockefeller family's extensive collection of Asian devotional sculptures. The show, curated by the institution's own critic, spans 70 years of acquisitions and features works the critic was personally involved in installing decades ago.
The exhibition highlights the enduring significance of the Rockefeller collection as a cornerstone of Asian art in the United States. It provides a rare public viewing of these privately held masterpieces, offering insight into both the artistic traditions of Asia and the influential collecting practices of one of America's most prominent philanthropic families.
