For thousands of years, the many countries of Asia were connected with each other through trade, immigration, religion, and culture. This generously illustrated book, the companion to an exhibition on view at the Denver Art Museum from December 17, 2017, through April 1, 2018, shows the myriad ways in which interactions among cultures inspired new forms and created artwork that continues to reach new audiences. Drawn largely from the Denver Art Museum’s collection, with some loans from local collectors, the artworks span some 2,400 years (400s BCE through the 1800s) and include everything from porcelains and textiles made for export to religious objects and ink paintings.
