The Preservation Society of Newport County is delighted to present a captivating lecture featuring one of our own Asia Week New York members, Lark E. Mason Jr., on July 17! Part of the Society’s esteemed Lecture Series, Discovering America’s Treasures with Lark E. Mason Jr. will explore how remarkable objects journey from the forgotten corners of private homes—walls, attics, and closets—to prominent museums and auction houses.

One of the nation’s foremost experts in Asian art and antiquities, Lark will offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the rediscovery and authentication of extraordinary works of art.  Drawing on his over 30 years experience as an appraiser with Sotheby’s, New York and his involvement with PBS’s “Antiques Roadshow,” he will share the stories of discovery that delight and inform about art, history and the human tendency to collect.
