Fifteen Asian American Artists presents the work of fifteen artists who live, work, and/or exhibit in the metropolitan New York area. These first-, second-, and third-generation Asian Americans were born in places as varied as China, India, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, New York's Greenwich Village, and North Dakota. The personal and highly individual nature of the artists' work reflects their interaction with the contemporary New York art world, their unique associations with Asia, and their experiences of being Asian American. This exhibition emphasizes both the similarities and differences among artists from vastly different backgrounds who are nonetheless collectively self-identified as Asian Americans. We are pleased to present their work in celebration of our new neighbor, the soon-to-be-opened Charles B. Wang Asian American Center.
