Experts in the field of Asian Art uniformly recommend that preservation efforts be grounded in knowledge of the history and traditions embedded within the objects. This two-day conference will address the distinct historical and aesthetic differences that inform the rich artistic traditions of China, Japan, and Korea, as well as the practical concerns of handling, housing, storage, exhibition and conservation treatment of paper-based objects from this region. Program presenters will include nationally and internationally recognized art historians, curators, and conservators.
