it's 19th run will present 75 major U.S. and international galleries and dealers
specializing in antique works from all over Asia.

Major auctions are scheduled at Sotheby`s, Christie's, Bonhams and Doyle`s,
with Asian themed shows at Galleries such as Pace Wildenstein around the city.

1996, established as Asia Week's most important fair which was meant to have

alternative, Asian Art Dealers of The Upper East Side is organizing their
