Asia Week New York, the Asian art extravaganza, which blew into town over the weekend, hosted an elegant reception at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which opened its spectacular Asian art galleries to over 600 international collectors, curators, gallery owners, and scholars who are in New York for the non-stop 9-day extravaganza of exhibitions, auctions, and museum shows. 42 of the top Asian art specalists representing Belgium, England, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Switzerland, and the U.S. -- have set up shop all over town offering an astonishing array of the rarest and finest examples of porcelain, jewelry, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, bronzes, prints, photographs, and jades from China, Japan, Korea, India, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia. This combined this with the 25 auctions, numerous museum shows and cultural events and it’s apparent why Asia Week New York has become such an important destination for the international art set.
The Met opened all of its Asian art galleries so that guests could avail themselves of the curatorial tours through the breath-taking exhibitions which include: The Art of the Chinese Album; Painting with Threads: Chinese Tapestry and Embroidery, 12th – 19th Century; Sumptuous: East Asian Lacquer, 14th-20th Century; Sacred Traditions of the Himalayas; Celebration of the Year of the Ram; Inventing Korea: 100 Years of Collecting at the Met; Discovering Japanese Art: American Collectors and the Met; and the reinstallation of the Galleries for Nepal and Tibet.
Among those seen in the crowd were:
Tom Campbell, Mike and Vera Hearn, Carol Conover, Oscar Tang and Agnes Hsu, Michael Cherney, Mansheng Wang, Mary Ann Rogers, Gisèle Croës, Peggy and Richard Danziger, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blumenfeld, Mr and Mrs. Michael Cohen, Richard Pegg, John Carpenter, Donald and Shelley Rubin, Mary Wallach, Joan Mirviss, Jiyoung Koo, Catherine and Louis Burger, James Lally, Bernard and Christine Jeanquier, Chantal and Rene de Laigue, Diane Dubler, John Bigelow Taylor, Dr. and Mrs. Ronald Crystal, Alka and Suneet Kapoor, John Carpenter, Beatrice Chang, Mary and Selby Kiffer, Carlo Cristi, Katherine Martin, Rene Scholten, Karen and Leon Wender, Kathleen Doyle, Keum Ja Kang, Joe Scheier-Dolberg, Erik and Cornelia Thomsen, Xiangzhou Tai, Ann and Gilbert Kinney, Jane Portal, Dr. Young Yang Chung, Francesca Galloway, Henry Howard-Sneyd, Christina Prescott-Walker, Margi Gristina, John Guy, Yukiko Kubo, Anu Ghosh-Mazumdar, Mee-Seen Loong, Xian Fang, Bruce MacLaren, Jeff Olson, Christophe Olivro, Sven Van den Broeck, Tapa Tibble, Christina Deeny, Kevin Brooke, Sally Baughen, John Reed, Fred Varnier, Jessica Rizzolo, Mark Swinton, Vaipanya Kongkwanyuen, Karime Buraye, Marco Franck, Hideo Morito Edward Wilkinson, Claire and Michael Chu, Michael and Lisa Hughes, Helen Dennis, Eric Zetterquist, Nana Onishi, Soyoung Lee, Denise Leidy, Oliver Forge, Brendan Lynch, Prahlad Bubbar, Thomas Pritzker, David Pritzker, John Weber, Elinor Pearlstein, Kurt Gitter, Ashley Hill, Louis Webre, Marley Rabstenek, Sue Ollemans, Walter Arader, Nicholas Grindley, Mr. and Mr. Norman Indictor, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Zimmermann, Michael Feng, Michael McCormick, Diane Schafer, Mr. and Mrs. Halsey North, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Cohen, Patricia Tang, Ann Ziff, Jerry Yang and Akiko Yamazaki, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Feinberg, Karsten Tietz, Giuseppe Piva, Navin Kumar, Shalini Ganendra, Marina Killery, Carole Davenport, Erik Schiess, Dr. Alvin Friedman Kien, Tu Qiang, Andrew and Daphna Kahane, Christophe Hioco, Shawn Ghassemi, Hiroshi Yanagi, Nayef Homsi, Robert Levine, Vijay Anand, Leonardo and Tomaso Vigorelli, David Joralemon, Howard Wei, Ed Nagel, Thomas Bachmann, Gabriel Eckenstein, John Guy, Joe Earle, Erica and Lark Mason, Wendy Moonan and Duncan Darrow, Conor Mahony, Alice Chin, Shawn Eichman, Edmond and Julie Lewis, Vyna St. Phard, Shao Wang, Carlton Rochell and Kathleen Kalista, Noémie Bonnet, Margaret Tao, and Marilyn White.
