Enduring Legacy of Japanese Art: The Mary Griggs Burke Collection
Wednesday, March 15 to Sunday, June 11, 2006

This exhibition introduces Mrs. Mary Burke, a resident of New York, who with her late husband Jackson Burke spent nearly half a century acquiring Japanese art and presents their amazing collection. We hope that our museum visitors will discover the beauty of Japanese art through the Burke Collection and through Mrs. Burke's aesthetic choices. The present exhibition comprises one-hundred sixteen masterpieces drawn from the collection of Mary Griggs Burke and the Burke Foundation. The objects range in terms of period from Jōmon through the Edo period, and in medium from sculpture to Buddhist art, paintings, calligraphy, ceramics, and lacquer ware, covering the entire gamut of Japanese art history.
