Asian | American | Modern Art: Shifting Currents, 1900-1970 presents the work of artists of Asian ancestry who lived and worked in the United States. This exhibition represents the first comprehensive survey of these artists, and seeks to advance awareness of this under-represented group in American art history. Their art reflects the currents of identity and style that shift between aesthetics of diverse international geographies. This exhibition is rich in variety and demonstrates the wealth of Asian American art using masterpieces spanning seventy years. Nearly 100 works by 60 artists, many of whom had their work exhibited at the de Young or Legion of Honor in earlier decades, are included.
An audio tour for both Asian / American / Modern Art: Shifting Currents, 1900–1970 and Maya Lin: Systematic Landscapes is available at the museum. The tour, produced by Discovery Audio, features commentary by Maya Lin and numerous Asian America artists featured in the exhibition. Cost for the audio tour is $6 general, $5 members.
