Exhibition

This interpretive show, the twenty-fifth annual Graduate Student exhibition, presents in its entirety the collection of Chinese objects acquired by the Museum of Art through the bequest of collector John M. Crawford, Jr. Particulary rich in decorative arts of the late imperial period, the collection includes Buddhist sculptures, jade mountains, and carved figures in jade and semi-precious stones, as well as porcelains and scholar's implements of imperial manufacture.

Curated by Maggie Bickford, Mark A. Abdoo, Barbara Apelian Beall, Marcia Gagliardi Brennan, Shelley Drake Hawks, Estelle O'Neill, Traci L. Paul, and Sarah Rehm Roberts
