The Amon Carter Museum of American Art will present "East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art." The exhibition explores the continuing artistic influence of people of Asian descent and their indispensable role in shaping American art and culture. It will feature artworks by more than 32 Asian American artists.

"East of the Pacific" considers the ongoing artistic impact of the migration of people across the Pacific Ocean. The exhibition examines how the repositioning of America from west of the Atlantic to east of the Pacific reorients our perception of American art and its significant contributors. The artworks presented in the exhibition date from the mid-nineteenth century through the present day. Organized chronologically, the exhibition highlights key moments of intersection between Asia and the United States and features artists who worked both between and beyond these worlds.

Drawn from the permanent collection at the Cantor, "East of the Pacific" features 49 artworks in a wide range of mediums that span from the 1850s to today, including ceramics, drawings, paintings, photographs, and prints. Focusing on both Asian American fine art as well as visual culture, this exhibition presents artworks by a variety of contemporary artists of Asian descent, including Roger Shimomura, Takeshi Kawashima, and Livien Yin. The exhibition is divided into six thematic sections, which reveal vital moments in Asian American history and the multifaceted contributions of Asian descendants to American art.
