商品簡介
Part of a series designed to introduce new collectors to specific styles as well as provide veteran collectors with an authoritative reference, this beautifully produced volume offers a concise and thorough discussion of the collecting of Chinese art. Introductory chapters describe the history of global trade in Chinese art, with attention to Chinese law, repatriation of antiquities (including the story of the destruction and looting of the summer palace of Yuanmingyuan in 1860 and its impact today), and the art market. Subsequent chapters describe the history of the market in painting and calligraphy, ceramics, and the decorative arts, with the concluding four chapters providing detailed discussion of museums, collectors, dealers, and auctions. Co-published with Sotheby's, the volume is distributed in the U.S. by Ashgate. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
