This year is fifth Asia Week NY for me.  I did only have little knowledge about Asia Art in the beginning, but last 5 years, my vision and knowledge has been grown with Asia Week NY dealers' art pieces.

This year, I could see lots of Tibetan and Chinese pieces which could see there are many Chinese clients, but it could be nice if we could see more South Asian and Korean Art like a couple years ago.

Here are some galleries...

Joan Mirviss Ltd.: Important and precious Japanese modern and contemporary ceramics

Onishi Gallery: Beautiful pieces of Craft art by Japanese artists

Scholten Japanese Art : Gorgeous Japanese prints.  This year, they have print with mirror subject.

Asia Week New York 2017

Fujikasa Satoko (Joan B. Mirviss LTD)

     The 8th Annual Asia Week New York Started from March, 9 2017.  There are 50 top-tier international galleries from Belgium, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, and U.S. They present millions of dollars worth of rare treasures from the far east.  

I have attended last 6 years as a press member.  Even though I have a master degree, specialized in 19c- 20c Korean, Japanese, and Chinese furniture.  It was not easy for me to appreciate some of art works quality.  But after 6 years, I have learned so much from press walk and could learn how to appreciate great works and get to know many great dealers.

I could also see more contemporary arts by asian artists this year.   

Here are a few my favorite works and Galleries...

Joan B. Mirviss LTD (39 E 78th St. Suite 401):  having a 40 years Anniversary with Joan's great fine taste.  She has gorgeous modern Japanese Ceramics.  One of my favorite Gallery.

Scholten Japanese Art (145 W 58th Street Suite 6D): They have most precious and fine quality Japanese Print collection.

DAG Modern (Fuller Bldg. 41 E 57th St. 7th Floor): Fabulous Indian 20 century Modern art.

19th Century Rare Book & Photographs Shop (24 E 64th St 3rd floor): Masterpieces of Early Chinese Photography Exhibition

Kang Collection (9 E 82nd St. 3rd Floor): Korean Folk and Contemporary Art

Pace Galley (32 E 57th St. 2nd floor): Lee, Ufan's Ceramics

Littleton & Hennessy (24 E 64th St 3rd floor): Precious Chinese Antique with a few modern paintings.

Fitz Gerald Fine Arts (40 Wooster Street): Contemporary arts by Asian Artists

Asia Week NY 2014

     I have attended the Asia Week NY for 4 years. The first year was my own and last three years with New York's Press people. Since I have a Master degree specializing in 19 -20 century Asian Antique furniture, I thought it would easier for me to understand all art works. But there are so many various art works from dealers all over the world.  It took me little while to catch up Asian art knowledge from dealers. We are facing many contemporary art in New York City everyday.   So it was a nice opportunity to learn Asian art in general...
