11th Annual Asian Art Society Lecture: Rediscovered Treasures
Sunday, September 28, 2025 from 2–4 p.m.
Free. Reservations required.
Registration will open on August 28, 2025.
Join us for an introduction to the hidden gems of East Asian art rediscovered through advanced research and conservation at the Cincinnati Art Museum (CAM). In this talk with Curator of East Asian Art Hou-mei Sung, Ph.D., we will highlight pieces that entered the museum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when CAM had no staff to identify or document Asian art. The rediscovery of these objects and their subsequent research and conservation have not only changed the identities of many individual art works, but also the overall dynamics of the entire collection. Together, they shed new light on the early and consequential cultural and artistic exchanges between Cincinnati and East Asia.
Please join us for the lecture from 2–3 p.m. in Fath Auditorium with light refreshments to follow from 3–4 p.m. in the Marek-Weaver Family Commons.
This lecture is made possible by the Cincinnati Asian Art Society Endowment Fund.
