Comprising of more than 5,800 items, these gifts form nearly half of the permanent collection of the Art Museum. They are both the core and the highlight of the Museum's collection. This exhibition of The Bei Shan Tang Legacy - Gifts of Chinese Art is a selection of the most important items of the gifts from J. S. They include paintings, calligraphy, calligraphic rubbings, ceramics, jade and hard stone carvings to bronzes, seals, and carvings in bamboo, wood, ivory and bone, inksticks, items for the scholars' studio and furniture. The exhibition, to be installed in all the four galleries of the Art Museum, is a tribute to J. S. for his generosity and lifelong support to the Museum. It is also an unprecedented comprehensive display of the collection which is well known to many by its reputation. But because of the modesty and low profile of J. S. few actually have had a first-hand knowledge of it." excerpt from the introductory text by Peter Y. K. Lam Director, Art Museum, 2009.

Hard bound. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: new. First Edition. The present catalogue brings together important material for the understanding of one of China's most brilliant innovations -- that of porcelain with cobalt underglaze decoration, otherwise known as 'blue & white' china. In recent years there have been major advances in this field of study, both as a result of archaeological work undertaken in and around Jingdezen, the center of production of such wares for over 600 years, and also the recovery of large hoards of ancient Chinese ceramics from trade vessels sunken in past dynasties. The present catalogue illustrates and describes some 140 vessels, dating from the Yuan to late Ming periods, originating both from Imprerial ateliiers and folk & trade productions. Based on recently recovered material and stylistic analysis, the authors, renowned scholars in the field, update the chronology of these wares. Includes a lengthy appendix listing dated blue & white wares in museums in China and worldwide. An essential reference.
