Beyond the Legacy
Together the Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution form the national museum of Asian art for the U.S. Featuring those gift and purchases honoring the 10th anniversary of the Sackler and the 75th anniversary of the Freer, this sumptuously illustrated volume traces not only the evolution of this country's perception of Asia, but also the evolution of the museum and its role. Essays by Thomas Lawton, former director of both galleries, and Thomas W. Lentz, deputy director, detail the separate but interrelated histories and directions of the two galleries.

Korean Art in the Freer and Sackler Galleries
With more than 200 color and archival images, this handy volume presents the full scope of the museums' Korean art collections. First, it traces the formation of the Freer Gallery of Art's collection of 540 Korean objects, reversing the usual chronological order by following the path of the museum founder, Charles Lang Freer, who began in the 1890s by collecting Joseon-period ceramics. The book then describes how the Freer's Korean collection has continued to grow since the 1960s and presents the late twentieth-century Korean art that the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery has acquired as part of its commitment to representing modern and contemporary art movements in Asia.
