Asia Week (March 13 -21, 2015) is underway in New York city as dealers, museums and auction houses celebrate and promote work from across that continent. Organizers state: “The annual event fulfills the broader aim of affirming the importance of Asian art in the citywide — and nationwide— cultural scene.” The annual event first began in 2009 with a group of 16 galleries on the Upper East Side. This year 42 galleries, five auction houses and 22 museums and Asian cultural institutions are participating.
