Boston’s trend-setting art collectors of the early 20th century transformed the city into a center for collecting and preserving Asian art unequaled in Europe and the Americas.Encouraging their peers to collect and preserve Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Himalayan artworks, these influential men and women formed ideas and trends that extended beyond Boston and which would set standards in the fields of conservation and curation for decades to come.
Presented by Jacki Elgar, Pamela and Peter Voss Head of Asian Conservation at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), this lecture will pay particular attention to the preservation of Asian paintings, namely scrolls, at the MFA and will also examine the current state of Asian art conservation in the United States.
