A significant collection of Asian religious art, assembled over seven decades by the Rockefeller family, is now on public display at the Asia Society Museum in New York.
The exhibition features devotional sculptures spanning centuries, drawn from the institution’s permanent holdings. The works represent a major philanthropic legacy and a deep engagement with Asian artistic traditions.
The presentation includes pieces that were part of the original installation when the Asia Society building opened decades ago. The collection is noted for its focus on spiritual imagery, particularly Buddha figures from various regions and periods.
The show provides a comprehensive view into one of America’s most notable private collections of Asian art. It traces the evolution of sculptural form and religious expression across multiple cultures. The exhibition is now open to the public.
