“Asia Week New York provides an astonishing showcase for the strength and breath of material that this city offers in all disciplines of Asian art” said Howard-Sneyd, Sotherby’s Vice-Chairman Asian Art, Americas. “In a few short years, New York has become an essential destination for international collectors, curators, scholars, and Asian art enthusiasts alike.”

Judging from the impressive list of dealers, I was delighted to see that this year show promises to reach even greater heights. The week-long celebration will be filled with non-stop schedule of simultaneous gallery open houses, Asian art auctions, as well as myriads of museums and galleries exhibitions, lectures, and my personal favorite: special events. Right now, you can visit, www.AsiaWeekNewYork.com, in order to navigate through a detailed, 88-page guide, complete with maps. This guide is also available at the participating galleries, and auction houses (Christie’s, Doyle, iGavel, and Sotherby’s).

A couple of prominent players will be entering the scene, this year. They include Chambers Fine Art, Erik Thomsen, Littleton & Hennessy Aisan Art, and Pace Prints, from New York; Francesca Galloway, Jonathan Tucker Antonia Tozer Asian Art, both from London, and Michael Woerner Oriental Art, from Bangkok.
