Asian Journeys: Collecting Art in Post-War America
Tuesday April 27, 2010 from 11:00am - 4:00pm
Boston College - McMullen Museum of Art
140 Commonwealth Ave
Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts 02467 Get Directions
Asian Journeys explores the sociopolitical context for American collecting of Asian art in the post- World War II period with focus on the collecting practice of John D. Rockefeller 3rd (1906-1978) and his wife Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller (1909-1992). Founder of Asia Society and son of collectors John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller 3rd played an instrumental role in fostering cultural understanding and cooperation between Asia and America. From 1963 to 1978, art historian and director of the Cleveland Museum, Sherman E. Lee (1918-2008), served as an advisor to the Rockefellers' collection. The relationship among them, explored in this exhibition, is an extraordinary example of the connections between art collecting and U.S.-Asia relations.
