EVENT DESCRIPTION
Liang Yi Museum and Orientations is pleased to present Jade and Wood: A Material Conversation, an exceptional exhibition pairing 25 jade masterpieces from the esteemed K Collection with 25 superlative hardwood furniture pieces from the museum’s founding collection formed by Peter Fung. This pairing demonstrates the intrinsic relationship between these materials in literati culture, where jade’s purity and wood’s warmth created aesthetic harmony in scholarly environments. This carefully curated presentation will run from 30th October 2025 to 16th April 2026, offering visitors a rare opportunity to appreciate these complementary materials within the Chinese scholarly tradition.
Yifawn Lee, the exhibition’s curator, highlights the significance of the collaboration: “I am delighted to collaborate with Liang Yi Museum to showcase this exceptional private collection of jades. The exhibition serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of two collectors who preserve and celebrate the artistry of the past.”
Nader Rasti, founder of Rasti Fine Art, underscores the uniqueness of the K Collection: “The K Collection exhibits a preference for simple forms, which are more challenging to achieve due to their reduced room for error, a rarity of objects using high-quality materials, and provenance.“
