Founded in New York City in 1926, China Institute of America is an internationally renowned U. S. nonprofit organization dedicated to deepening the world’s understanding of China through programs in art, business, cuisine, culture, and education. The Institute’s gallery, opened in 1966, has presented more than 120 exhibitions showcasing both historical and contemporary works across a wide range of media and art forms.
Celebrating the Institute’s 100 years anniversary and the Gallery’s 60 years anniversary, the exhibition features 90 works including fine jades, rare bronze vessels, paintings, calligraphy, Buddhist sculpture, ceramics, auspicious symbols, and scholars’ objects dating from as early as 3000 BCE to the 21st century on loan from more than 30 institutions and private collectors that demonstrate how the Gallery’s presentations have illuminated pathways to a deeper understanding of the arts of China.
The exhibition also features artworks by FQM artists C. C. Wang (1907 - 2003), Wang Fangyu (1913 - 1997), and Wang Mansheng (b. 1962) to showcase Chinese art’s contemporary inheritance and metamorphosis in the Chinese diaspora community in New York.
The exhibition is co-curated by Annette Juliano, Alfreda Murck, and David Ake Sensabaugh.
