The MA in Modern and Contemporary Asian Art provides students with the critical tools for understanding the growing field of Asian art by bridging rigorous intellectual input, in the form of lectures and seminars, and real-world experience of art in situ at exhibitions, installations, auction previews, art fairs and specialist showcases. It enables students to appreciate Asian art market development in the modern and contemporary periods, in relation to its complex history and to the artistic sensibilities that are driving its extension throughout the international art world today.
