This book was published in conjunction with a group exhibition of American Asian artists organised by the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, at the State University of the New Jersey. It is considered the first in-depth look by a Westerner at how, during the period of the American abstract movement (1945-1970), a number of Asian American artists combined Eastern traditions with the Modern techniques to create unique and meaningful works of art. The exhibition travelled to Taiwan, where a separate catalogue was published.
Includes artists' and authors' biographies.
