anniversary — a milestone the Asian Art Museum reaches in 2016. To celebrate, we’re
presenting Hidden Gold, an
exploration of gold’s physical and symbolic qualities through a selection of
pieces from the museum’s magnificent collection.
Spanning 1,500 years of
history and diverse Asian cultures, Hidden
Gold investigates the universal regard for this precious metal and the many
ways it’s incorporated into art. Gold shimmers as embroidery on a Korean bridal
robe, glimmers in wisp-thin leaf on a Thai manuscript and illuminates a Qing
dynasty screen with inlayed images of quails and chrysanthemums.
There’s also a local
connection to the metal. California’s position on the world stage is inconceivable
without the quest for gold. Hidden Gold
boasts a large raw nugget, a nod to the Golden State and the legacy of its
mining history.
For a modern interpretation
of that legacy, the Asian Art Museum will also present Extracted, a contemporary exhibition that builds on Hidden Gold’s themes through an experimental
new film medium developed by local artist Ranu Mukherjee.
As we commemorate the
museum’s past and look toward the future, join us to reflect on the sparkle and
significance of this extraordinary, enduring metal.
