NYT: Asia Society's New Exhibition is 'Suffused with Great Intensity'
On Thursday, the New York Times published a glowing review of No Limits: Zao Wou-Ki, Asia Society Museum's new exhibition.
“Zao Wou-Ki: No Limits at Asia Society is the first comprehensive show of the artist’s work in the United States," wrote art critic Roberta Smith in her review. "It is an intriguing, peripatetic, at times beautiful affair of 60 works from 1945 to 2003, with paintings on canvas and paper, watercolors, and several kinds of prints."
"The show is divided into two galleries. Zao's earlier representational works are isolated in a small gallery suffused with great intensity of feeling," Smith continued, adding that it "has a sprightly energy and a hypnotic power that exceeds its size and effortlessly synthesizes East and West."
