Collectors, Collections and Collecting the Arts of China: Histories and Challenges
February 20-21, 2009
The Auditorium of the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art
The University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
This symposium will bring together a distinguished group of eminent scholars and curators from universities and Asian art museums in North America and the United Kingdom to discuss the topics of collectors, collections and collecting of Chinese art in the West. The collection of Chinese art in the West gained momentum in the 19th century and has been changing with the growth and the decline of colonialism in Asia and the wax and wane of the international relationship between China and the West. Because of economic development in recent years, auction houses and private collecting flourished in China. At the same, the Chinese government increased its effort to safeguard the country’s cultural heritage, and it formally requested that the U.S. State Department’s Cultural Property Advisory Committee place an embargo on all exported archaeological and cultural heritage properties. In many respects, these new developments along with the changes in the academic and museum professional worlds challenge the western modes of collecting and exhibiting Chinese art.
