This exhibition focuses on a group of impressive Chinese works of art from private collection across Texas. The wide range of artistic achievements from imperial China are illuminated through carefully selected jade carvings, bronze vessels, porcelains, wooden carvings, and paintings. As it was for the Crow family, Chinese art, from ancient bronzes to imperial porcelains, has been of great interest to families in Texas over the last fifty years.
