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.
This program is intended for cultural heritage professionals responsible for the care and handling of paper-based art and artifacts from East Asia, including executive directors, curators, collections managers, librarians, archivists and conservators, as well as collectors and others interested in the history and care of works from this region.
