Sue Ollemans, a recognised specialist in Asian art for over forty years, trained at the Percival David Foundation (SOAS, London). Initially focused on Song-period works and the exchanges linked to the Dutch East India Company, her research has, for nearly two decades, turned towards Asian jewellery and gem-set precious objects.
Her expertise spans a vast geographical and historical range, from imperial China to the kingdoms of Southeast Asia, from Indonesia to the Indian subcontinent, with particular attention to rare works from the Liao, Song, Ming, and Qing periods, as well as Khmer, Cham, Thai, and Mughal productions.
Active on the international stage — including Asia Week New York, Fine Art Asia, and Asian Art London — as well as through private exhibitions in Paris and Brussels, Sue Ollemans has seen works she has handled enter major public collections such as the Smithsonian Institution, the Brooklyn Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
On the occasion of the 9th edition of Printemps Asiatique Paris, Ollemans Oriental Art will participate in the Asian Art Fair at Galerie Charpentier and present the exhibition:
