Hefner Collection of East Asian Art
December 10, 2011 - April 7, 2012
With his wife Leona, the late Harry Hefner (1911-2006), who was a prominent artist and professor of art at Western Michigan University, formed a distinguished collection of East Asian art – Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ceramics, metal objects, prints, and paintings. Featured in the Joy Light Gallery of Asian Art, selections from the Hefner Collection have been generously loaned by members of the Hefner family.
Celebrate a century of art as the KIA turns 100! General admission to the museum is FREE throughout July, thanks to the generous support of Jim and Carol Carter, the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, PNC Bank, The Santreece Foundation, and Warner Norcross + Judd LLP.
