From March 13 - 21, 2015 New York will be filled with Asian artworks in what is the seventh edition of Asia Week New York. Hundreds of collectors, curators and art enthusiasts from all over the globe come to view the myriad of artworks showcased at New York's annual event. This year's participants include more than forty dealers, five auction houses and over twenty museums and institutions.
Gallerists, from Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Switzerland, and the United States present specialized shows of Asian art from China, India, the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, Tibet, Nepal, Japan, and Korea. Lectures, symposiums, discussions, tours and even family activities round out the week-long happening.
