Dear Friends,

Welcome to Asian Art in Brussels for a week of Art and Culture.Last edition we all – exhibitors, collectors, visitors – had to confront a difficult moment due to G7 meeting, virtually blocking the main access to Brussels and Sablon. Other dramatic events added difficulties. Despite all this, serious, dedicated collectors and curators visited and selected important artworks, making the Fair a success for most of the exhibitors.This year, some new exhibitors have joined our group, sharing our views. We extend to them our warm welcome.We have taken much care to create an impeccable Fair. All the exhibits have been vetted by an independent committee of international experts for the confidence and assurance of the buyers.The arts of India, Tibet, Central Asia, China, South East Asia and Japan will be on show and for sale, with several excellent artworks.

Our collaboration with IBHEC (Belgian Institute for High Chinese Studies) has extended to the RMAH (Royal Museums of Art and History - The Cinquantenaire). We are very honoured to cooperate with this famous scientific institution and wish to thank the Director, Eric Gubel, for the trust he granted to our cultural program ArtConnoisseurs.ArtConnoisseurs, two series of lectures from AAB and BAAF on asian arts and antiquities, will be held this year at the Museum premises with an extended program including special visits to the Museum collections.

The lectures will be filmed and made available online by BIAPAL (Brussels International Art Promotion and Logistics), partner in ArtConnoisseurs program.To further celebrate this edition, an exhibition of a private collection of Sikh and Moghul Arms and Armours will be on show at the Hotel Frison, Sablon, a fine Art Nouveau building by architect Victor Horta. A gallery talk will be held by a renown specialist, Robert Elgood.New media partnerships have been established and a sponsor of importance has shared and supported our project.Our media campaign developed in close collaboration with the other Fairs, BAAF and BRUNEAF, has expanded to more countries and we expect more visitors to the Fairs.The event 3 Fairs brings together over 80 exhibitors, and is a unique event in the world of Art Fairs.We gratefully thank our collaborators, and in particular the esteemed lecturers, from Belgium and abroad, the Vetting Committee, The Art Loss Register and all our media partners who have kindly supported us in their magazines and newspapers.Now it’s time to let Art inspire the collectors, curators and visitors .My best wishes for a profitable tour of the galleries.

nathalie VandeperreCurator Far-Eastern Department (China, Japan, Korea) Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH), Brussels Nathalie Vandeperre is curator of the Far-Eastern department (China, Japan, Korea) of the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH) in Brussels. She heads the Museums of the Far-East (Chinese Pavilion, Japanese Tower and Museum of Japanese Art) and their export art collections.She recently curated two important exhibitions: Utamaro: the twelve hours of the green houses, and other beauties (Museum of Japanese Art, 2012) (she also co-authored the catalogue of the exhibition); and Hokusai: views on Mount Fuji and other landscapes (Museum of Japanese Art, 2013)Recent publications:• « The King’s dream » and « Collecting the Far-East » in Arts of Asia nr.200, 2012• editor of « Hokusai, coup d’œil sur les deux rives du fleuve Sumida, suivi de Le fleuve Yodo » by M. Forrer, Editions Hazan, 2012• and of « Keisai, le maître du dessin abrégé. Tous les albums de style ryakuga » by M.Forrer, Editions Hazan, 2013

Ukiyo-e prints were among the very first objects the RMAH acquired for its Japanese section, with the purchase of 267 prints from Siegfried Bing in 1889. The most important acquisition no doubt was Edmond Michotte’s collection in 1905, that counted over 4600 prints. After the exhibition of the Michotte collection in 1911, the print collection grew but remained hidden in the storages until the 1970’s when it was rediscovered by the American specialists Roger Keyes and Jack Hillier. They identified unique Sharaku prints and found a selection of Harunobu prints in an impeccable state of conservation, among many others.With the restauration works of the Museum of Japanese Art in 2013, the prints returned to the storages. This lecture will introduce the highlights of the ukiyo-e collection, one of the treasures of the RMAH.suzuki HArunoBu,

From india to Continental southeast Asia: the diffusion of Buddhist iconography

Pierre BaptisteSenior curator - Southeast AsiaNational Museum for Asian Art – Guimet, Paris

In charge of the Southeast Asian Art Department of the Musée Guimet since 1996, Pierre Baptiste is an art historian and researcher. Teacher at the Faculty of Archaeology of the Royal University of Cambodia, Phnom Penh (1998-2002) and the Ecole du Louvre, Paris, he directed the renovation of the Southeast Asian galleries at the Guimet (1996-2001). Author of several essays, and articles devoted to the arts of Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, he participated to the scientific direction of books in this field (Missions archéologiques françaises au Vietnam – 1903-1904, 2005; Catalogue des collections khmères du musée Guimet, 2008). He curated exhibitions on several aspects of the arts of Southeast Asia, such as: Trésors d’art du Vietnam - La statuaire du Champa, 2004; Dvâravatî: Aux sources du Bouddhisme en Thaïlande, 2009. He organised an exhibition on Louis Delaporte and the so-called rediscovery of Angkor (Angkor Naissance d’un Mythe – Louis Delaporte et le Cambodge, 2013) and recently curated an exhibition with Vietnam on the iconography of the Dragon (L’Envol du Dragon – Art royal du Vietnam).

Thanks to the study of a selection of Buddhist art objects preserved in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, it is possible to explain and illustrate the close links between these images (Dvâravatî art, Preangkorian Khmer statuary, art of Champa) and the Indian prototypes that generated them. These iconographical and stylistic links will be illustrated and studied thanks to a florilege of masterpieces from Southeast Asia statuary (c. 6th to 10th century).

Crafting Chinese Buddhist sculpture:Case studies from the Metropolitan Museum of Art

denise Patry LeidyCurator (Chinese Sculpture and Decorative Arts)Department of Asian ArtThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Denise Patry Leidy has a PHD in Art History of the Columbia University of New York. Curator since 1995 in the Department of Asian Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Chinese Sculpture and Decorative Arts), she is responsible for extensive collections of sculpture, lacquer, ceramics and other decorative arts including bi-annual rotations of lacquers and textiles in The Florence and Herbert Irving Galleries for Chinese Decorative Arts. Recent projects include « Silla : Korea’s Golden Kingdom » (with Soyoung Lee) and the development of a « Treasure Room » for the third floor decorative arts galleries. Author of many books, essays, exhibition catalogues and brochures and gallery guides about Chinese, Korean and Central Asian Art, curator of major exhibitions in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other museums, she is a very active international lecturer and collaborates at research projects and scholarly activities in her speciality: the Buddhist art of Asia.

From an early Buddha cast using the distinctively Chinese piece-mold technique to a late seventh-century mandala, one of the earliest known examples of this type, to wooden bodhisattvas with hidden mirrors, scientific examination has yielded new information regarding the dating, meaning, and function of many of the Chinese Buddhist sculptures in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This presentation will both introduce new material regarding some of the most famous masterpieces in the collection and explore the ways in which this information broadens our understanding of the practice of Buddhism in China.

Participants

The exhibition: Fight – Pray – Love will focus on Moghul and Sikh arms and armours from an important private European collection. A catalogue will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition and a lecture will be held by the renown specialist Robert Elgood.

The exhibition focus on the role of weaponry in acts of workship and rituals; its sacred role in the quotidian world and in religious ceremonies and the techniques; the design and decoration symbolism intervening in its manufacture, and on the wider role this material and metaphysical phenomenon has had to play.

The exhibition will be held in an exceptional “Art Nouveau” building from the Belgian architect Victor Horta.

“north indian weapons and warriors” Lecture by robert elgoodDate: Saturday 13 JuneTime: 5 pmVenue: Hôtel Frison, Rue Lebeau 37 (1000 Bruxelles)

Muslims and Hindus had differing attitudes to arms and their place in the social structure but both delighted in producing the most magnificent arms possible. For Hindus warriors these were spiritually charged objects which the Goddess was persuaded to enter every year in the Durga Puja festival to make them efficacious. For Muslims arms were part of religious duty but also about prestige and political power which was passed from the ruler to privileged subjects in the khilat system where by accepting gifts of personal items they became ‘limbs’ of the ruler, personifying his authority. This lecture will discuss a rich and varied selection of objects chosen for their beauty and for what they tell us about the people who owned them, how they thought and behaved.

Robert Elgood has a BA in Islamic History from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London University; and a DPHIL from Oxford University in Indian Anthropology. He was consultant in Indian and Islamic arms at Sotheby’s London in the 1980’s and Research Fellow, Eastern European, Islamic and Asian Arms and Armour at the Wallace Collection 2006 - 2012.

Wang will lead the department as it aggressively seeks to expand the reach and raise the profile of the museum’s Asian collections and programmes. An expert in classical Chinese art, in particular early ritual bronzes, jades, and inscriptions, he also has a deep interest in contemporary art. Wang is currently Senior Vice President and Head of Chinese Works of Art at Sotheby’s New York, where he will remain until the end of March. Before joining Sotheby’s in 2012, he taught Chinese art and archaeology at University College London and at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

THE NEWSPAPER FOR COLLECTORS, DEALERS, MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES • FEBRUARY 2015 • £5.00/US$10/€10

100 years of Asian Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art THIS YEAR, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is celebrating the centennial of the Department of Asian Art, which was founded in June 1915. The first exhibition to open these events is an exhibition that explores American collectors and their association with the museum. Discovering Japanese Art: American Collectors and the Met, which opens on 14 February and continues until 27 September, tells the story of how the museum built its comprehensive collection of Japanese art from the early 1880s, when the institution owned just a small, eclectic array of Japanese decorative arts. The works on view include the now world-famous print, Great Wave by Hokusai, as well as iconic screen paintings such as Irises at Yatsuhashi by Ogata Korin, which was bought by the museum in 1953, and Morning Glories by Suzuki Kiitsu. For the first time in over a decade, the important sliding-door paintings, fusuma, that once belonged to the Zen temple Ryoan-ji in Kyoto

are also on display. Spanning ancient to modern times, the exhibition will explore the trends that shaped art collecting and look at how Japanese art was received in the US. It also tells the story of those key American collectors and curators whose passion for Japanese art helped the museum build its world-class collection. About 70 works will be rotated into the exhibition in June. Monika Bincsik, Andrew W Mellon Curatorial Fellow of the Metropolitan Museum’s Department of Asian Art said about the exhibition that the occasion allowed them to reflect on how the evolution of the collection, over the decades, relied on donations of American collectors and assiduous curators who had become enamored of Japanese art. She continued to say that the history of building the collection of Japanese art at the Met can be viewed as a mirror of collecting trends throughout America for more than a century.

The first official Asian bequest to the

museum’s Chinese galleries – China: Through the Looking Glass, which opens 7 May and looks at how Western fashion designers have been influenced by traditional Chinese costumes, with links to works of art and decorative objects, as well as a montage of short films by Wong Kar Wai on how the influence of cinema on fashion in the West.

museum, in 1881, was the collection of Stephen Whitney Phoenix (1839-1881), son of a wealthy New York merchant and political family. On view will be a handful of the finest Japanese lacquers that had already been put on loan to the museum in 1873-74, when the Met’s fledgling collections were first put on display in the Douglas Mansion at 128 West 14th Street.

Since these beginnings, the museum has devoted more than 50 galleries of varying sizes to the exploration and study of Asian art.

Throughout the year, there are 17 Asian exhibitions and installations, some of which have already opened. A major exhibition with links to Asian art is taking place in the Anna Wintour Costume Center and the

正在伦敦白教堂展出的作品《七个循环1-6》，Dóra Maurer，1979年白教堂美术馆正在展出的《黑色方块的奇遇：抽象艺术与社会，1915-2015》将对抽象艺术的回溯扩大到了全球范围内

在中国，“抽象艺术”似乎从未

成为热门话题的中心，尽管这一挪用

自西方艺术史的词汇是否适用于中

国现有的所有抽象形式的艺术一直

存在争议，但它从未远离过人们的

视线。 “抽象艺术并不是一个新的概

念，但我认为用‘抽象艺术’来形容

中国这个阶段的艺术发展也并不完

全准确。我的感觉是从2009年之前

慢慢开始形成了一种强调形式的趋向

和氛围，有一种抽象化的趋势。”对

此，佩斯北京总裁冷林说道。近期艺

术世界中，“抽象”这一关键词便显

得相当活跃。

在各自不同的语境中形成，而又

有所关联的东西方抽象艺术近来对

话频频。2014年，战后抽象绘画领

域的重要艺术家肖恩 ·斯库利首次来

到中国，于 11月在上海喜玛拉雅美

术馆举办大型个展“随心而行：肖

恩 · 斯库利艺术展，1964 -2014 伦

敦 | 纽约”，现在，展览正巡回至北

京中央美术学院美术馆，还将在此展

示至4月。与此同时，正在伦敦白教

堂美术馆举办的展览“黑色方块的奇

遇：抽象艺术与社会，1915 -2015”，

以来自不同地区的百名艺术家作品追

溯抽象几何对后世的影响，两名中国

艺术家刘韡和赵要的作品也收录在

了本次展览中。白教堂美术馆总监、

策展人伊沃娜 · 布莱兹维克（Iwona

Blazwick）介绍道：“通过展览我们

发现了来自中东、拉丁美洲、中国和

东欧的不同声音，显示了革命性的视

觉语言是如何与政治和社会紧紧联

系在一起的。”

除了西方美术馆对于抽象艺术

的回溯，抽象艺术在亚洲艺术市场上

也产生了密集的回响。由香港巴塞尔

艺术展引发的开年首轮艺术热潮中，

“抽象”艺术不容忽视。伴随香港巴

塞尔艺术展，香港艺术门画廊将举

办由批评家、策展人高名潞策划的群

展“忘言—意派系列展”，延续高

名潞以自创概念“意派”形容“不同

于西方现代抽象主义的中国当代‘抽

象’”的思路与观点。在香港巴塞尔

艺术展中，携带抽象形式的艺术作品

的画廊为数不少，如一向对此颇多关

注的北京公社和空白空间，以及艾可

画廊、德萨画廊和香港的安全口画廊

等等。而本届香港巴塞尔艺术展“沙

龙漫谈”单元，还包括了一场由不同

地区的艺术工作者带来的座谈会“抽

象空间 | 在抽象意念的平衡历史”。

与香港巴塞尔艺术展几乎同期开幕

的展览“亚洲前卫艺术—具体派

传奇”和“亚洲前卫艺术—韩国

单色美学”在香港苏富比艺术空间举

行，呈现日本及韩国战后对抽象艺术

的反思和延伸。

艺术家：以弹性的方式看待抽象

抽象艺术的涌动并非在一朝一

夕之间突然发生，中国年轻一代艺术

家投入抽象艺术的创作日渐活跃，如

李姝睿以LED为对象创造视觉空间

体验；王光乐以其描摹水磨石的代表

作开启了之后的呈现抽象视觉效果的

绘画；谢墨凛以电脑精确控制的机械

运动装置来制作平面作品；赵要则以

形式化的手法将现成图像处理为几

何图形等等。

在抽象的视觉形式背后，每个艺

术家的观念与实践倾向各不相同，而

这些艺术家的创作既有“去现实主义”的形式化倾向，也有与东方极简美学的关联
