Join us for a Stop &amp; Chat in &#8220;<a href="https://new.artsmia.org/exhibition/maria-berrio-songlines">María Berrío: Songlines</a>,&#8221; exploring the Colombian artist’s intricate, hand-cut paper works and the stories, music, literature, and histories woven into her monumental compositions. Drop in for a brief, informal conversation with a Mia guide and discover the many narratives hidden within Berrío’s layered scenes.

Join Mia and Revere Auctions to celebrate the storied legacy of Leo and Doris Hodroff’s Chinese Export and Asian Art Collection. This collection is widely regarded as a scholarly landmark and is perhaps the finest collection of export porcelain in private hands. Its journey to the Midwest is just one port of call on its transcontinental voyage and mirrors the fascinating crossroads of cultures that these objects represent.
To bring the collection&#8217;s narrative to life, we&#8217;re honored to welcome renowned ceramics scholar Ron Fuchs II as our guest lecturer. As a leading national authority on Asian export ceramics, Fuchs brings unmatched expertise and personal insight to the Hodroff’s collection. In this exclusive talk, Fuchs will illuminate the fascinating 17th- and 18th-century porcelain trade, revealing how Chinese master artisans brilliantly adapted centuries of ceramic tradition to satisfy the opulent social rituals, heraldic demands, and aesthetic tastes of European and American elites.
Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and tea following the presentation.
Free tickets available September 25.
