The Asia Society
Texas offers collectors and antique enthusiasts
a unique opportunity to have treasures appraised by Mr.
Lark E. Mason, Sotheby’s curator and an
appraiser on the PBS television show “Antiques
Roadshow.” He has written numerous
articles on Asian art and evaluated many pre-eminent collections |
| WHAT: |
The evening begins
with a reception at 6:00 p.m. and a speech
by Mason beginning at 6:30 p.m. on the Study
of Asian Art, which he says can be daunting even for experts.
The fee for this event is $10 for members; $15
for nonmembers. The Appraisal Fair/Book Signing starts
at 7:30 and ends at 9:30 p.m.
After the talk, participants can attend the “Appraisal
Fair/Book Signing” where Mason will appraise
personal antiques, including non-Asian objects (except
for weapons) and sign his latest book, “Asian
Art.” The charge for a verbal appraisal
of one (1) item (two (2) for Asia Society members) and
a copy of “Asian Art”
is $65 (the price of the book alone). Each additional appraisal is $10,
with a maximum of three (3) items per person. Mr. Mason
will also make limited in-home evaluations during the
day. |
