Wednesday January 9, 2013 from 11:00am - 6:00pm
Museum of Arts and Design
2 Columbus Cir
New York, New York 10019 Get Directions
Exploring the dialogue between Islamic tradition and Western modernity that shaped the fabled Honolulu residence of the philanthropist Doris Duke, 'Doris Duke's Shangri La: Architecture, Landscape, and Islamic Art' features large-scale newly commissioned photos of the five-acre property by Tim Street-Porter and archival materials on the travel and research that led to the creation of Duke's home and the growth of her collection over 60 years. The exhibit also features a selection of works from her collection, never before seen outside her home, including ceramics, furniture, textiles, and jewelry inlaid with precious gems from Spain, North Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East, including objects dating from the early first millennium B.C.E., along with new works by six contemporary artists of Islamic heritage who participated in Shangri La's Contemporary Artists Residency program.
