DALLAS, TX.- The Crow Collection of Asian Art is presenting Earthly Splendor: Korean Ceramics from the Collection in its Gallery I exhibition space in the Dallas Arts District. The Museum is located at 2010 Flora St., Dallas, Texas 75201.

This exhibition pairs outstanding examples of contemporary and historical Korean ceramics from the museum’s permanent collection to highlight the material, aesthetic, stylistic and technical developments of them throughout history.

“Today, American life is deeply interwoven with Asia,” says Dr. Jacqueline Chao, curator of the exhibition and the Crow Collection’s curator of Asian art. “The need to understand the diverse arts, cultures, histories and contemporary cultures of Asia is more essential now than ever. By juxtaposing works of Korean art of the past with the present, we situate timeless works of art within a global context, to offer viewers fresh and meaningful perspectives on Korean art, culture and history.”

The museum’s Korean art collection consists of works ranging from stone sculptures to a small selection of paintings, furniture, chests, boxes, bronze mirrors and other examples of decorative art. The majority, however, are ceramics. Of these ceramics, the museum is fortunate to have a rich variety of stoneware from the early Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE-935 CE), celadon wares from the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392), porcelains from the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), as well as works by contemporary ceramicists.

The breadth of the museum’s permanent collection allows for direct comparison of these aesthetic transformations across time.

Earthly Splendor: Korean Ceramics from the Collection is curated by Dr. Jacqueline Chao, curator of Asian Art at the Crow Collection of Asian Art.
