East Is East Dept.

A piece about Asia Week in New York, courtesy of the Times:

At Nankai you can get something of a crash course in Vietnamese ceramics with several dozen vessels, mostly from the 12th to the 15th centuries. At Judith Rutherford the textiles include a bamboo vest and jacket from 19th-century China. At Joss Graham more textiles share the space with Indian paintings, including two Indian paintings of hell in which the damned, seen against a brilliant aqua background, are tormented individually in little tubs. But don’t let me tell you where to go.

Memo to self: win lottery, move back into NYC at first convenience.
