The Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, published twice

annually, presents articles on the collections and history

of the Art Institute. This special issue is devoted to the

museum's renowned collection of Asian art. The issue begins

with an illustrated survey of the Art Institute's recent acquisitions from China, Japan,

Indonesia, Tibet, Kashmir, and Nepal.

Essays that follow examine

important areas of the museum's

Asian collection: bronze and stone

sculptures from South India; early

Chinese paintings, including scrolls,

wall fragments, and fans; and two

types of Japanese woodblock prints-

privately published works for special

occasions (surimono) and prints that

incorporated Western perspective

into their compositions (uki-e).
