Now in its sixth year, Asia Week New York continues its tradition of unveiling a spectacular trove of superlative Asian works of art – all making their debut at exhibitions which open simultaneously at galleries throughout Manhattan, commencing Friday, March 14 and running through Saturday, March 22, 2014.

Asia Week New York brings together a top-tier roster of 47 international Asian art specialists-the largest number to date-from Australia, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, and the United States. Joining them are five major auction houses as well as 19 world-renowned museums and Asian cultural institutions. All work together towards a shared goal to weave Asian art into the cultural fabric of New York and to broadcast its unique appeal worldwide.

Says Carol Conover, Chairman of Asia Week New York 2014: “This year represents a landmark occasion for Asia Week New York. Never in its history has it experienced such a high level of participation from galleries in the United States and abroad. We are thrilled to welcome the outpouring of collectors, curators and lovers of Asian art to our city – all in celebration of this shared passion.”

Asia Week New York exhibitions are open and free to the public, and each reveals the rarest and finest Asian examples of ceramics, jewelry, textiles, paintings, sculpture, bronzes, prints, photographs and jades, representing artistry, ingenuity and imagination from every corner and time period of Asia.

To help visitors easily navigate the Asia Week New York’s activities, a comprehensive guide with maps will be available at all participating galleries and auction houses, along with select museums and cultural institutions, beginning February 2014 and online at www.AsiaWeekNY.com. ‘)}
