		• Fire Over Earth: Ceramics from the Collection of the Asia Society March 23 - November 28, 1999
			The ceramic tradition of East and Southeast Asia, a region rich in clay and other fusible materials, is unrivalled. In China, earth (clay) was regarded, along with fire, as two of the "five elements of the cosmos." This exhibition, comprising more than 50 pieces drawn from the Asia Society's Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection, explores the artistry and technology of Chinese ceramics and those of the adjacent regions -- Japan, Korea, Thailand and Vietnam -- from the 3rd millennium B.C.E. to the 18th century.
