Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition held at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco (January 17-September 6, 1998), this authoritative catalogue examines forty-four exceptional examples of Chinese furniture dating…from the sixteenth to mid-eighteenth centuries. Drawing heavily from the celebrated Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, the volume emphasizes the refined structural logic, restrained ornamentation, and material sophistication that define classical Ming and early Qing furniture. Essays and catalogue entries address form, construction, materials, function, provenance, and historical context, supported by extensive scholarly apparatus and comparative references. The catalogue is richly illustrated with high-quality color plates and detailed views. All catalogue photography is credited primarily to Shin Hada (New York), with additional images by Simon Leung (Hong Kong) and Thornton Morris Associates (London). Text contributions include a preface by Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, an introduction by Lark E. Mason, Jr., and specialized sections by Michael Knight, Nicholas Grindley, and Anita Christy. Printed and bound in Hong Kong by Magnum (Offset) Printing Company Ltd. Book is Near Fine: tight, square, and as new, with clean, bright pages and no writing, markings, or flaws observed. Binding firm and unworn. Dust jacket Near Fine, with only the lightest handling evidence; now housed in a clean, removable Plasti-Kleer-Brodart protective sleeve. No tears, chips, or price issues. First edition exhibition catalogue, published 1998. No later printings or edition statements noted. Robert Hatfield Ellsworth (1929-2014) was one of the most influential Western scholars and dealers of Chinese art in the twentieth century. Based in New York, he played a central role in shaping modern understanding of classical Chinese furniture, ceramics, and decorative arts, advising major collectors and museums worldwide. His publications remain foundational references in the field.

"At long last the West is looking with interest and appreciation at Chinese furniture. In the past this furniture was sought out by a few pioneer collectors who lived in China during the first part of the 20th century. Fortunately many curators of the Oriental arts of American museums were well aware of the great beauty of this furniture. With knowledge and foresight they presented representative collections to the public. As a result many fine examples exist in the Nelson Gallery in Kansas City, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Honolulu Academy of Arts and the Cleveland Museum. The time is now ripe for more than a visual presentation of this important field of the Chinese decorative arts. It must be treated in the same fashion that specialists in European decorative arts have approached its Western counterparts. For this reason I have given detailed descriptions of intricate forms of joinery - so radically different from the European forms. It is the most minute of these details that places Chinese furniture in distinct and proper periods. Many conclusions are based on the change of seat styles during the Ming period. Naturally all extant examples dating from the Ming and Ch'ing periods were not produced on one locale. Therefore it will hereafter be as imporant to establish the are from which a piece came as to establish its date. Obtaining knowledge of the subtly different forms of joinery and seat construction was possible only with pieces completely under my control. Much of the pertinent information could be obtained only though the complete dismantling of many of the pieces illustrated. In many instances samples had to be taken of wood and other materials on order to arrive at the conclusions presented here. This will explain why so many pieces that I discuss are my property. It is to be hoped that in the future research and scientific excavations will further expand our knowledge of the history of Chinese furniture." introduction by Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, New Fairfield, January 1970.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. ELLSWORTH, Robert Hatfield. LATER CHINESE PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY: 1800-1950, 3 VOLUMES. New York, 1986. 10.5 x 15", 3 vols, xvi; xviii; xxiii, 399; 369; 281 pp., 875 color plates, 118 text-figures, text in English with Chinese captions, index, cloth, all edges gilt in gold, brown dec…orative clamshell style box with tipped in color plates. The culmination of more than three decades of study and collecting, the three-volume Later Chinese Painting and Calligraphy: 1800-1950 is one of the most important, sumptuous publications of Asian Art. Taking a period that has been ignored and undervalued by scholars, curators, and collectors, Robert Ellsworth has produced a work that not only forces us to re-examine all previous assessments of that tumultuous era in Chinese art, but promises to launch a new wave of interest in, and appreciation for, its unique achievements. Through more than 850 superb examples from his own collection, the author shows how exposure to Western art led, in painting, to an extraordinary new diversity and vitality, and how archeological discoveries in China fueled a dazzling renaissance in calligraphy. Two of the three volumes reproduce 550 paintings and 325 calligraphies, representing the work of every major artist of the period in full color. The extensive commentaries in the third volume include biographies of each artist. Every calligraphy, inscription, and seal is transliterated into precise English. The breadth and depth of fresh scholarship, the quality of the art, and the luxurious production combine to make Later Chinese Painting and Calligraphy: 1800-1950 one of the monumental achievements in art book publishing in our century: an essential source book for anyone interested in Asian art, and an object of permanent beauty and value.

Catalogue by Robert Hatfield Ellswor…th, Nicholas Grindley and Anita Christy, Privately Published, New York, 1996. Volume II with one hundred and three pieces, 208 pages with colour illustrations. Catalogue by Robert Hatfield Ellsworth. Privately Published, New York, 2005.; Used with signs of wear on the slipcase, which show wear signs on the spine, front and back cover, and on the bottom and top. Interior in very good condition with minor signs of wear.; "When we began to collect in 1985, we were told that there were very few books available on Chinese furniture that would help us understand and select authentic pieces. We learned that the most important work had been written by Mr. Robert Ellsworth of New York, who had formed his collection from the late 1950s though the early 1970s. His book Chinese Furniture: Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch'ing Dynasties was published in 1971. In 1982 he organized and exhibition of Chinese hardwood furrniture in Hawaiian collections for the Honolulo Academy of Arts and wrote the accompanying catalogue; he had also written occasional articles on Chinese furniture. We immediately acquired his publications and began reading them and admiring the pieces. We were delighted to find that despite the many social and dynastic changes in China's history, some of the Chinese arts were being preserved by an American collector and dealer. Our collection consists of over one hundred pieces, most of which are included in this catalogue. We find our Chinese furniture to be both functional and beautiful. Because we live with our collection in a very tactile way - our children sleep in the beds, we eat our meals on a large painting table, we sit in the chairs and ch'uangs - we have developed an intimate familiarity with the proportions of Ming and early Ch'ing furniture, with what feels and looks right and what does not. The first piece we bought, a long huang hua-li table (no. 66) is still with us; other pieces have come and gone over the years. With the help of many educated friends and dealers, we have refined our connoisseurship so that we are now more easily able to distinguish the good from the bad." excerpt from the Volume I preface by Mimi and Raymond Hung 1996.; "Many of the smaller, but no less important pieces in this volume are a tribute to Mimi and the knowledge she has accumulated over fifteenth years. Mimi is ardently committed to this field and has worked very hard to put together the group of scholar's objects and personal furnishings. Her expertise and connoisseurship has grown steadily. Both Mimi and Raymond have accomplished the building of a collection which is probably unique and, at the same time, take great pleasure in living with their treasures whether in their homes of offices." excerpt from the Volume II preface by Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, 2015.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine, as new. First edition. Folio (14-1/2" x 11"). 3 volumes. Text in English and Chinese. Index. Vol. 1 is bound in blue silk, Vol. 2 in green silk, Vol. 3 in orange silk. All 3 vols. with gilt lettering on spines are housed in publisher's sturdy black cloth clamshell box with a reproduced color painting… mounted on the top lid. A fine, as new set still in the publisher's original shipping carton. Western critics and historians had long looked upon Chinese paintings of the 19th and 20th century as a "dead zone" of creativity following the "eccentric" masters of the 17th and 18th century. Maverick collector Robert H. Ellsworth here reveals the error of that assumption in this monumental work which reproduces all 471 paintings that Ellsworth donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1987, along with hundreds of images of calligraphic scrolls and fans. The index alone contains commentaries and biographies of 300 artists and calligraphers, along with transliterations into Chinese script of every inscription and seal. This work was originally published by Random House for $800.
