Benevolence and Wisdom: New Gifts from the Collection of Trammell and Margaret Crow
This exhibition features the most recent works of art donated to the Crow Collection of Asian Art at the bequest of Margaret Doggett Crow (1919-2014). Highlights of this final gift to the Museum include fine examples of Asian export porcelain, jade vessels with delicately carved auspicious imagery, and Japanese ivorynetsuke. As a collection, these works tell stories from the Neolithic period to the twentieth century, including the interweaving of Daoist, Shinto, Buddhist, and folk traditions with the worlds of Qing dynasty Confucian scholars, Edo period merchants, and the collector’s eye for quality and beauty.
