The splendid architectural features of the renovated Asia Society and Museum building, as shown in this catalog, are enlivened by the striking new works of art that inhabit its public spaces. While some of these works are readily visible,others are found in unexpected spaces. Together, they manifest the Asia Society’s strong commitment to new art and artists as the Society enters the twenty-first century. Author: Vishakha N. Desai (Asia Society, 2002, Pbk, 80pp)
