San Francisco Asian Art Museum Director Jay Xu is co-curator of an original exhibition at New York City’s China Institute, “Along the Yangzi River: Regional Culture of the Bronze Age from Hunan.” Xu, an international expert on ancient Chinese bronze culture, will give the Curator’s Lecture in conjunction with the exhibition’s opening on January 27. The exhibition was organized by the China Institute and Hunan Provincial Museum and features unusual bronze vessels produced in the south of China and rarely seen outside of the country. A prolific writer and popular speaker, Xu is co-author of a prize-winning 1996 book on a huge bronze foundry in Houma, Shanxi province.
