de Young exhibition closes
The Asian/American/Modern Art: Shifting Currents, 1900–1970 exhibition closed today at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. This exhibition presented the work of artists of Asian ancestry who lived and worked in the United States and many of whom had their works exhibited at the de Young in the past. One of the goals of the exhibition was to create awareness of this under-represented group in American art history. Two of my favorite artists (Chiura Obata and Ruth Asawa) were included in the exhibition.
The exhibition store was curated and had items created by and about artists of Asian descent. Aiko Designs jewelry was selected to be sold at the special exhibition store — it was a wonderful experience to be a part of something so amazing. You can still find my jewelry at the de Young, and if you can’t make it there in person, check out their online store.
