Arts of Pacific Asia Show
I have the wonderful opportunity to assist Rudloph Smend in presenting a beautiful collection of museum quality batik sarongs and kain panjang in the San Francisco Arts of Pacific Asia Exhibition. He is a very gracious and knowledgeable man who is as passionate as I am about batik. He has been collecting for 38 yerars. Here are a few examples from the pieces in the show:

What a joy to find your blog post, with such a wonderful portrait of you together with Rudolf! His batik collection is truly dazzling, and I was so happy to find him at Arts of Pacific Asia . . . and again this weekend at San Francisco’s Tribal and Textile Arts show, also at Fort Mason. See you there!
