John Ang is a collector of Malay textiles.
He was born in Chicago and was raised in Singapore. He holds a Master's degree in the History of Chinese Art from the University of Michigan. He initially worked as an art reporter for the Japan Times and later established an art gallery in Taiwan, where he spent nearly 30 years gaining profound knowledge of Asian art. In 2013, during a visit to Bali, he first encountered Malay textiles, which sparked his curiosity and interest. He was deeply impressed by the beautiful culture associated with them. He began collecting Malay textiles the following year and has since amassed over 5,000 pieces. In July 2022, he invested 1 million Malaysian Ringgit to organize the Malay World Textile Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, showcasing over 700 valuable textiles representing 12 different techniques. This exhibition received tremendous acclaim. John Ang aims to preserve and share his discoveries, dedicating them to Malaysia, a place he has grown to deeply love since relocating.
