This thematic presentation of the Spencer’s permanent holdings in the arts of China, Korea, and Japan explores the idea of “antiquity” as a resonating force in the creative re-framing of art and visual culture in East Asia from the Neolithic period to the contemporary. As part of this ongoing installation, a selection of paintings, prints, screens and select objects from the collection on the theme of antiquarianism will rotate routinely to refresh and stimulate ongoing dialogues about this rich topic.
