We are delighted to share that three of our Asia Week New York members—Ralph M. Chait Galleries, Joan B Mirviss LTD and Thomsen Gallery—will once again be featured at The Winter Show this year. On view January 23 through February 1, Ralph M. Chait Galleries, one of the event’s longest-standing exhibitors since 1960, will present an exceptional selection of Chinese porcelains and works of art at Booth E8. Joan B Mirviss LTD will showcase Reflections in Black and White: Japanese Art in Clay and Ink, a curated exhibition of modern and contemporary Japanese masterpieces that celebrates the rich tradition of black-and-white artistry and highlights the remarkable range of expression in ceramics, painting, and calligraphy at Booth E5. Thomsen Gallery will highlight the richness of Japan’s artistic heritage, featuring folding screens, medieval stoneware jars, contemporary porcelain sculptures, refined gold lacquer boxes, and ikebana bamboo baskets by celebrated masters at Booth C6. Each gallery offers a unique window into the artistry and cultural legacy of Asia—an experience not to be missed!
Additionally, AWNY is thrilled to once again partner with The Winter Show to present the panel discussion Shaping Taste: Asian Ceramics and the Making of American Art & Design, taking place on Saturday, January 24 at 2:30 pm. This engaging in-person event, moderated by Joan B. Mirviss, co-founder of Asia Week New York and long-time Winter Show exhibitor, brings together leading curators and decorative arts historians from four American museums to examine the enduring impact of Asian ceramics on American art and design from the nineteenth century to today.
The Winter Show is the première art, antiques, and design fair in America, featuring many of the world’s top experts in the fine and decorative arts. The Fair was established in the mid-1950s as a benefit for East Side House Settlement and, by the end of that decade, had firmly established itself as the leading event of its kind in the United States.
