The 13th Annual San Francisco Arts of Pacific Asia Show at Fort Mason on February 6-8 presented 85 international dealers and 10 000 objects from Mainland and Pacific Asia for viewing and purchasing. Among Chinese porcelain, Korean ceramics, Tibetan and Southeast Asian textiles, ceremonial clothing, masks, jewelry, and antiques dealers there were a couple of dozens of Northern California art galleries. David Peck with Imari Gallery in Sausalito presented Japanese screens, salon furniture pieces, and wooden netsuke in a paper-walled room-like display, which attracted collectors from previous shows. Margrit Schurman, CEO of Scriptum, Inc., based in Berkeley, offered detailed information on contemporary Japanese prints and the living artists her gallery is collaborating with, like Iwao Akiyama, Tanaka Ryohei and many others. Zena Kruzick of Richmond displayed a rich collection of tribal textiles and jewelry, and Patricia Mulrooney from Harmonique in Berkeley introduced home décor pieces from China, and baby hats, elaborately made by the meticulous grandmothers in remote rural areas. Buddhist art, textiles, and oriental rugs occupied a great portion of the exhibition hall, surrounded by household items, statuettes, paintings, and adornments of all kinds.
