Four Thousand Years of Southeast Asian Art
September 9, 2010-January 9, 2011
Henry R. Luce Gallery (28)
For its major fall exhibition, the Academy highlights its important but
little seen collection of Southeast Asian Art. On view will be
approximately 150 works of art from Thailand and Cambodia, many of which
have never been displayed at the museum.
Visitors will travel through time and regions via three sections: The
Neolithic and Bronze ages in Thailand and Cambodia; the Khmer kingdom,
which dominated the central Southeast Asian peninsula from the 9th
through the 15th centuries; and the Sukhothai kingdom, generally
considered the first major Thai kingdom and the progenitor of the modern
Thai state, which flourished from the 13th through the 15th centuries.
The exhibition will cover the artistic and cultural developments of
three important Southeast Asian cultures (Ban Chiang, Khmer, and
Sukhothai) over more than 4,000 years, going from vibrantly decorated
Neolithic earthenware ceramics to a dazzling gold Buddhist sculpture.

Each section of the exhibition will include related video putting
ceramics in a contemporary context. The footage is by Louis Katz,
professor of ceramics at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

awareness and appreciation of Southeast Asian cultural and artistic
traditions in the Hawaii community.
