This landmark exhibition celebrates sixty years of China Institute Gallery through approximately eighty-five exceptional works drawn from more than thirty museums and private collections. Spanning from the 11th century BCE to the present, it brings together ritual bronze vessels, jades, Buddhist sculpture, ceramics, paintings, calligraphy, architectural drawings and early clay burial figures, alongside a contemporary ink-on-paper work by Liu Dan. Curated by Annette Juliano, Alfreda Murck and David Ake Sensabaugh, the presentation revisits defining exhibitions in the Gallery’s history while tracing the evolving study, collecting and appreciation of Chinese art in the United States. Highlights include a Tang dynasty glazed four-handle jar, a Shang dynasty bronze wine-pouring vessel and a Southern Song round fan painting of a wintry landscape.
