For the first time ever, the Asian Art Museum is presenting a large-scale exhibition of contemporary highlights from the museum’s collection. These pieces are remarkable on their own, but they also activate the rest of the museum’s collection in compelling new ways, infusing traditional themes and mediums with present-day ideas.
The exhibition features artists from Asia as well as from the United States. Yako Hodo abstracts the traditional art of basket weaving, while works by Yang Yongliang and Xu Bing push Chinese ink painting into new media. First Look also features Bay Area favorites like Hung Liu and Zheng Chongbin.
Cost:
$15 General Admission, $10 Seniors (65 and older), $10 University Students and Youths (13-17), Free for Children (12 and under) and Active members of the U.S. Armed Forces plus up to five family members
