Religious Art of China's NAXI Opens Today at Rubin Museum of Art
Posted on 23:16 by cena mical
AOA TODAY
NEW YORK – This first-ever exhibition of the collection of Naxi art gathered by art history student Quentin Roosevelt in 1939 will open at the Rubin Museum of Art today. Quentin Roosevelt’s China: Ancestral Realms of the Naxi, which will remain on view through September 19, 2011, will unite the Roosevelt collection with that of legendary botanist-explorer Joseph Rock, the first Western explorer to extensively study the complex religious and linguistic traditions of the Naxi, and whose collection has also never been publicly displayed.
