展期：2013/04/01~2013/06/25
陳列室：208
「農曆五月五，家家慶端午」的節令習俗在中國已經流傳了將近兩千年，而龍舟競
渡更是歡慶端午佳節的重頭戲，不過在北宋時期，龍舟競渡的皇家活動是在三月舉行。
「龍舟」一詞，早在戰國時期的《穆天子傳》即已出現，但「競渡」一詞，則要晚至晉
代周處《風土記》和其後的《荊楚歲時記》才可見及。直到唐代駱賓王、劉禹錫等詩人
的作品中，始有「龍舟」與「競渡」的結合，成為我們今日印象中以競速為目的之划龍
船比賽。
據載，淳化三年（992）三月，宋太宗駕幸金明池觀水嬉，命為競渡之戲，於是每歲
三月的龍舟競渡，遂成為故實。到了北宋中期，三月競渡的慶典又增加了許多水戲的活
動，如水鞦韆、水傀儡等，場面更為熱鬧。南宋紹興十七年（1147）孟元老追憶昔日東
都汴京（今河南開封）繁盛而寫的《東京夢華錄》
，對金明池三月競渡的情況記載甚詳。
本院典藏有四件與此題材相關的畫卷，皆列於元代界畫大師王振鵬（約活動於 1280
－1329 年）名下。本次選展的〈龍池競渡圖〉，雖可能為元以後的仿本，但圖中所畫的
競渡水戲場景，依舊能和《東京夢華錄》的紀載相互參照。觀眾賞覽之際，通過畫卷中
細膩精絕的演繹方式，當可一窺北宋都城三月龍舟競渡的盛況。
8）盆中清翫
展期：2013/04/01~2013/06/25
陳列室：212
盆景藝術是以植物、山石為素材，經過造型設計和園藝栽培，在有限空間的盆盎中，
呈現微縮的自然之美。盆景依取材和表現的不同，可分花木和山石盆景兩類，前者以花
葉、果實觀賞植物為主，後者則以精選石料佳器陪襯植栽。宋元時期花木栽培技術與山
石造園的基礎，促成了明清時期盆玩藝術多樣化的發展。明陸容《菽園雜記》云：「京
師人家能蓄書畫及諸玩器、盆景、花木之類，輒謂之愛清。」明代王穀祥〈盤石菖蒲〉、
陳淳〈崑璧圖〉、陳栝〈畫萬年青〉文石墨卉寫生，并作詩文詠頌，除了表現文人於庭
園或書齋「蒔花養石」的雅興，更賦予盆景審美內涵與觀賞價值。
清初為中國盆景發展的鼎盛期，花木盆栽、盆供成為宮廷不可或缺之擺設。關於苑
囿園藝，清初高士奇在《金鰲退食筆記》記載：
「本朝改為南花園，雜植花樹，凡江寧、
蘇松、杭州織造所進盆景，皆付澆灌培植。又于煖室烘出芍藥、牡丹諸花……。」展品
中，蔣廷錫〈月來香〉以竹架攀緣之藤本植物，余省〈仿御筆盆橘〉為乾隆巡幸盤山移
來之果樹盆景，鄒一桂〈畫古榦梅花〉乃乾隆南巡蘇州攜種於溫室之古梅，郎世寧〈畫
海西知時草〉青花盆植西洋傳教士進貢之含羞草，丁觀鵬〈倣仇英漢宮春曉圖〉展現出
御苑佳木異卉盆景陳設。
「盆景清供」亦可用來象徵美好祝福，譬如汪承霈〈畫萬年花甲〉、沈煥〈畫仙葩
清供〉都以各色花草、靈芝與盆缽組合，烘托出喜慶節令氣氛，具有吉祥之寓意。此次
展出明清作品計十八件，以呈現中國盆景文化的豐富內涵。

香港藝術館
1）20 / 20 ─ 虛白齋藏中國書畫館二十周年特展
展期：2012 年 9 月 26 日-2013 年 9 月 30
陳列室：虛白齋藏中國書畫館 (二樓)
1949 年前後，香港因為特殊的歷史及政治因素，成為南北文物的集散地，這是個短
暫的黃金時代，造就了香港一些獨具特色的私人典藏，其中包括劉作籌先生（1911 –
1993）的「虛白齋」收藏。
劉先生是星洲華僑，1949 年來港任職四海通銀行，適逢政局大變，書畫文物匯流香
江，遂節衣縮食，竭力蒐集收藏。經逾 3 0 年的努力，他建立起舉世知名的「虛白齋藏
品」，早在上世紀七、八十年代，國際學者、收藏家、博物館專家慕名到港拜觀者已絡
繹不絕，成為香港一道燦然的文化風景。1989 年，劉先生經多年考慮，並走訪了世界各
地的博物館取經，最後決定以取諸香港、用諸香港的心意，以化私為公的精神，將珍藏
慷慨捐贈香港藝術館，當時更成為哄動國際的藝壇大事。1992 年 9 月 26 日「虛白齋藏
中國書畫館」正式揭幕，成為虛白齋藏品的永久陳列專廳，真正落實劉先生宏願。
20 年來，香港藝術館堅守對劉先生的承諾，利用虛白齋藏品不斷舉辦專題展覽，並
出版圖錄、教育小冊子，以向公眾推介中國書畫藝術。2012 年是「虛白齋藏中國書畫館」
開館 20 周年的大日子，故特別精選虛白齋藏品中 20 位名家的經典之作，向劉先生的不
朽精神致敬。
2）館藏一百 ─ 香港藝術館藏中國繪畫特展
展期：2013.03.22 – 2013.10.30
陳列室：中國書畫展覽廳 (四樓)
「館藏一百」展覽精選一百位由明末至近代畫家的作品，百件畫作展示了香港藝術
館中國繪畫收藏的豐富內容和特色。展出作品包括早期廣東名家張穆、黎簡、梁于渭、
蘇六朋和蘇仁山等，展示了他們獨特的風格與表現手法。另「隔山畫派」的居巢、居廉
兄弟，影響日後形成的「嶺南畫派」
，成為中國繪畫史上一個舉足輕重的畫派。當中「嶺
南三傑」高劍父、高奇峰、陳樹人，以及其弟子何漆園、趙少昂、關山月和楊善深等，
力求引西潤中的理論和實踐；以及一眾「國畫研究會」的廣東畫家，包括潘龢、姚禮脩
等，均提倡改革國畫，造成了當時畫壇巨大的迴響。
踏入 2 0 世紀，尤其是隨着新中國的成立，來自五湖四海的畫家，包括：齊白石、
黃賓虹、徐悲鴻、潘天壽、林風眠、張大千、李可染、陸儼少，以至近現代吳冠中、黃
永玉等，他們在西方思潮的衝擊下，致力突破傳統；或是洋為中用、或是借古開今，形
成了畫壇百花齊放的局面。而當時的香港亦形成了一批以保持傳統國畫為本的畫家，
如：李研山、黃般若、彭襲明等，以及另一批自出新奇，突破傳統水墨規範的畫家，包
括：丁衍庸、劉國松及呂壽琨等。發展至 80 年代中後期，國內「新文人畫」在一片「理
論熱」中崛起，當中一群經歷文革的年青中國畫家，包括：石虎、胡永凱、聶鷗、盧輔
聖等，發展出一種特有的時代風格，其影響持續至今。

中國故宮博物院
1）潔白恬靜—故宮博物院藏定窯瓷器精品展
展期：2012 年 9 月 19 日--2013 年 7 月 31 日
陳列室：延禧宮古陶瓷研究展廳
定窯是宋金時代北方地區聲譽最高、影響最大的窯場，以燒造白瓷為主，兼燒黑
釉、醬釉、綠釉、黃釉瓷等。其遺址在今河北省曲陽縣，因該縣在唐、五代、北宋時
曾隸屬定州管轄，故其境內窯場被稱作定窯。明清文人將其與汝、官、哥、鈞等著名
瓷窯並稱，後來又出現宋代“五大名窯”的說法。
定窯始燒于唐代，宋金時代繁榮昌盛，元末以後逐漸停燒。該窯以燒造白瓷而名
揚天下，產品造型規整，胎質潔白，釉質溫潤，多以刻、劃、印花和描金花等技法進
行裝飾。其產品除大量行銷民間外，從晚唐到金代還曾是宮廷和官府用瓷的主要來源
之一。宋金時期，定窯產量巨大，影響深遠，不僅當時遠近瓷窯競相仿效，形成龐大
的瓷窯體系，而且後世一些窯場也常模仿。定窯瓷器也曾遠銷海外，在今天亞洲及北
非一些國家的古代遺址中，均發現過定窯瓷器標本。本展覽以展示故宮博物院藏定窯
瓷器為主，輔以定窯遺址、臨安市錢寬墓、西安市火燒壁窖藏以及湖南幾處墓葬考古
發現所得，基本上可以反映傳世和出土定窯瓷器的風貌。希望通過該展覽揭示定窯瓷
器的藝術和歷史價值，也期待借此推動定窯研究的深入開展。

名家珍品集萃——孫照子女捐贈中國古代繪畫珍品展
展期：2012 年 12 月 26 日至 2013 年 6 月 26 日
陳列室：南區三層 14 號展廳
孫照先生（1899－1966）生前係北京市第六中學語文教師。1982 年，孫照先生子女孫念
臺先生、孫念增先生以及孫念坤女士三人，將其家藏的中國古代繪畫、書法等珍貴文物，

國家博物館從此批文物中甄選出部分繪畫佳作，在國博成立百年之際，舉辦了這次展覽。
展覽囊括了元、明、清三代在中國繪畫史上具有重要地位的畫家的珍貴畫作。其中，元
朝黃公望《溪山雨意圖》卷為黃公望七十歲左右之作，早于《富春山居圖》卷十多年，
是目前所見黃公望最早的作品。元倪瓚《水竹居圖》軸為目前所見倪瓚年款的最早作品，
也是國內僅見倪瓚設色之畫品。明沈周《桃花書屋圖》軸第一次與公眾見面，是研究沈
周的重要文物資料。明文徵明《真賞齋圖》卷為文氏晚年細筆的代表之作。此外，明代
趙左、董其昌、項聖謨，清代“四王”、惲壽平、郎世寧、查士標等名家的畫品亦為首
次公開展覽，具有很高的藝術和資料價值。

展期：2013-4-23 至 2013-6-23
陳列室：三樓展廳二
中華玉文化延綿八千年，先後經歷幾個承前啟後、不可替代的重要發展階段。1368
年，朱元璋建立明王朝，恢復唐制，在冠服上用玉來體現等級貴賤，規定玉是統治階級
的專用之物，因而明代也成為我國琢玉史上一個非常繁榮的時期。明代在江西分封了甯
王、益王、淮王三蕃，經考古發掘的明藩王墓數十座，成為全國明代玉器出土最為集中
的地區。《玉葉金枝——明代江西藩王墓出土玉器精品展》展品來自明代江西寧、益兩
大封藩藩王及家族成員墓出土的玉器或金玉寶石鑲嵌的配件。展品九十二件（套），其
中國家一級文物 10 件、二級文物 27 件、三級文物 39 件。展覽分為圭見禮儀、玉帶尊貴、
玉佩玎璫、珠玉琳琅、玉具風情、金玉良緣六個部分。展覽兼具觀賞性和研究性。一方
面，玉器品類多種，質地瑩潤，雕琢細緻，紋樣精美，反映了明代諸藩王富貴堂皇、窮
奢極侈的生活場景；再者，展品的物主和時代明確，為研究明王朝中央和地方制玉的相
互關係提供了新的視角，對傳世玉器研究也具有較好的參照作用。

1. Freer Gallery of Art
1）Promise of Paradise: Early Chinese Buddhist Sculpture
Opens December 1, 2012
The Freer’s impressive collection of stone and gilt bronze Buddhist sculptures highlights two
flourishing ages, the sixth century and the High Tang (6th–8th century). The exhibition’s dramatic
focus is the monumental Cosmological Buddha: a life-size stone sculpture covered in intricate
representations of the realms of existence, ranging from hell to the abodes of the devas, or
Buddhist gods.
2）One Man’s Search for Ancient China: The Paul Singer Collection
January 18–July 7, 2013
The two-bedroom New Jersey apartment of psychiatrist-turned-collector and scholar Paul Singer
(1904–1997) was once packed with more than 5,000 objects he assembled over the course of
seventy years. Singer’s bequest to the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery created one of the largest and
most significant Chinese archaeological collections in the United States. This exhibition of Singer’s
gift not only looks at the collector’s legendary life, but also examines how landmark archaeological
discoveries have shed new light on his acquisitions and on life in ancient China. Highlights include
an early bronze plaque with exquisite turquoise inlay; jade and stone objects that closely resemble
those found in the tomb of the royal consort Fu Hao dating to the 13th century BCE;
2,000-year-old human hairpieces; and a group of rare and amusing figurines and miniature vessels.
2. Asian Art Museum, National Museums in Berlin
Elegant Gifts: Social Networking through Chinese Painting and Calligraphy
25. Sep. 2012~10. Mar. 2013
Chinese literati, painters and calligraphers have always presented their essays, poems, and paintings
as gifts to colleagues, relatives, pupils or teachers, as tokens of friendship or special attachment.
These elegant gifts often expressed gratitude for a service rendered commemorated special events such
as farewells or birthdays, or recorded bonds of friendship. Sometimes, they just resulted from a
whim. Whatever the circumstances, an inscription usually documented the circumstances of the
gift.
While European paintings are often displayed prominently in public spaces, Chinese paintings and
calligraphy tend to be viewed and enjoyed in a more private context. This is related to the format of
the works, particularly in the case of hand scrolls, but also album leaves and folding fans are better
suited to be enjoyed in a studio or a private room of the recipient. By the 15th century folding fans
had become established as a significant symbol of cultural sophistication. Exchanging fans
embellished with painting and calligraphy became a means to express a bond of friendship;
moreover, fans had the convenience of portability. Viewing gifted works can be seen as an act of
reminiscing about friendship and family bonds through the medium of painting and calligraphy.
This exhibition focuses on the special function of paintings and calligraphies as gifts, using selected
masterpieces from the collection of the Asian Art Museum as examples. It shows how Chinese
literati, painters and calligraphers used their art to build their social networks.
3. Asian Art Museum of San Francisco
1）China's Terracotta Warriors Return to San Francisco
February 22–May 26, 2013
The Asian Art Museum celebrates its 10th anniversary in its Civic Center location by presenting a
major exhibition examining the life and legacy of China's First Emperor, a complex leader whose
sheer ambition continues to fascinate.
Featuring 120 rare objects—including 10 terracotta figures—from one of the greatest archaeological
discoveries of our time, China’s Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor’s Legacy takes visitors on a
journey from the birth and rise of the Qin Empire to the life and rule of the First Emperor, his
quest for immortality, and his death, burial, and complex legacy.
The exhibition also features bronze ritual and jade artifacts, gold and silver ornaments, and palatial
architectural components—some on view for the first time in the U.S.—illustrating the emergence
of the Qin State. The objects are drawn from more than 13 institutions in China, including the
Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Institute, and the
Shaanxi History Museum.
The Asian Art Museum was among the first museums outside China to feature some of the
terracotta figures in a major exhibition held in 1994. Nearly forty years after its discovery, Chinese
archaeologists are still making discoveries around the burial mound of one of the most remarkable
figures in the history of China, the First Emperor. The exhibition focuses on this extraordinarily
influential man.
2）Pan-Asian Ceramics: Export, Import, and Influence
December 2012 – June 2013
International trade has occurred since ancient times. The exchange of ceramics, an important trade
good, influenced design styles and production techniques across vast geographic regions. Ceramics
served utilitarian purposes, were used as burial objects, decorative items, status symbols, and given as
tributary gifts. China, the country that had the largest impact on the worldwide ceramics industry,
began to export wares in large numbers during the Tang dynasty (618–906). By the eleventh and
twelfth centuries, beautifully crafted, high-fired Chinese ceramics provided examples and inspiration
to Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, Japan, and Persia.
Although China dominated the ceramics export market, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam also
exported wares in various centuries. Each ceramic center learned the preferences and tastes of
consumers in other regions and produced ceramics specifically for these foreign markets. Artisans
crafted ceramics in certain shapes and sizes with designs and colors that their customers in locations
such as Southeast Asia, Turkey, or Europe preferred.
The ceramics trade can be divided into two broad periods. The first began in approximately the
ninth century and ended in the sixteenth century. During this period, Chinese, Southeast Asian, and
Arab merchants dominated the ceramics trade. In the second period, from the sixteenth to the
eighteenth centuries, Japanese and European merchants joined the trade.
The Chinese perfected the large-scale production of porcelain more than one thousand years ago.
Shortly after its introduction, porcelain was sought after for its beauty, durability, and pure-white
color. Adding to its allure, the technique of decorating ceramics with blue pigment made from
cobalt, which originated in Persia, was incorporated by Chinese artisans during the first half of the
fourteenth century. Chinese blue-and-white porcelain soon became one of the most universally
admired and widely imitated of all ceramics.
Korea developed porcelain in the late 1300s. The Japanese followed, and by the 1640s, began to
successfully compete with Chinese porcelain exports. Other regions such as Persia lacked the
necessary raw materials to fabricate true porcelain, so instead, made a soft-paste version known as
fritware. Vietnam also crafted blue-and-white painted pieces from stoneware. Europe eventually
uncovered the secret to making porcelain in the early 1700s.
This exhibition features a fine selection of ninth- to eighteenth-century ceramics from the Asian
Art Museum, San Francisco. Persian fritware, Vietnamese stoneware excavated from a shipwreck off
the country’s central coast, blue-and-white export porcelain, as well as Korean and Thai celadon, are
some of the many objects on display.

Journey Through Mountains and Rivers: Chinese Landscapes Ancient and Modern
February 8 - April 28, 2013
For thousands of years Chinese poets and painters have revered nature as a source of spiritual and
artistic inspiration. In these ancient and modern landscape paintings, discover towering mountains
and craggy cliffs, winding rivers and joyous fishermen, scholars composing poems or dreaming of
immortals. Climb to half-hidden temples among dense forests, peer into mists and imagine infinity.
And be encircled by the largest Chinese landscape ever created, The Law of the Dao Is Its Being
What it Is.
Journey through Mountains and Rivers is a rare opportunity to view some of the Nelson-Atkins’
most celebrated Song Dynasty (960–1279) paintings, which, because of their fragility, will not be
displayed again for ten years. It is also the first showing in the United States of Xu Longsen, one
of China’s new generation of landscape painters.

Border Crossings: From Imperial to Popular Life
Through August 4, 2013
Madeleine H. Russell Gallery
How are the boundaries between social classes and identities challenged and transcended? This
exhibition explores that question by considering art production in China and Japan during the last
three hundred years. After recent research and reevaluation, two sets of 18th century Chinese
paintings from the collection have been rescued from obscurity and are now on view here for the
first time. These works demonstrate how artisans outside palace walls reproduced the subjects
and styles of imperial paintings in order to satisfy the demands of a rising social class. In addition,
the exhibition features Japanese woodblock prints of civil life, urban scenes and coveted fashions
of the “floating world”—images that existed despite the ruling shogunate’s regimentation.
Forty-fhree works on display.
7. Princessehof Museum of Ceramics in Leuwarden (Netherlands)
Mysterious Ming
24 March to 27 October 2013
Why does someone pay millions of dollars for a vase? What is it that makes Ming porcelain so
special? From 24 March 2013 visitors to the Princessehof can embark on a voyage of discovery
through the most famous dynasty in Chinese history. The museum will exhibit highlights from its
collection in an Oriental ambiance. From an emperor’s tableware to VOC shipwrecks – the
mysteries of the Ming are unravelled in Leeuwarden (the Netherlands).
The vase that sold for 21,6 million…
A new auction record was set in 2011 when Sotheby’s auctioned a Ming vase for 21,6 million
dollars. And who among us hasn’t hoped that the Chinese vase we found while rummaging at a
jumble sale might be a Ming vase. And whenever we see bunglers such as Mr Bean or Laurel &
Hardy on screen, a Ming vase is sure to take a tumble. Ming is synonymous for extremely
expensive antiques. But why is Ming so expensive anyway? What is it? And why are we so familiar
with the Ming dynasty, while the Qing is largely forgotten? Our exhibition Mysterious Ming
answers these and many more questions.
Mysterious Ming
An audio tour guides visitors on their voyage of discovery through China in the period 1368 to
1644. The story is told in its entirety: from the rise of the Ming in the 14th century to the death of
the last emperor three centuries later. Visitors can imagine themselves in the Forbidden City and
admire the same dish that Chinese Emperor Zhengde dined from 500 years ago. One of the
highlights of the exhibition is the porcelain cargo salvaged from two VOC shipwrecks, remarkable
testaments to the Dutch trade in Chinese porcelain in the early 17th century. The salvage
operations are recreated with underwater photographs taken during their recovery. Current
representations and clichés about anything and everything Ming as portrayed in TV commercials
and films are also included in the exhibition.
The Princessehof ’s Ming collection
The Princessehof ’s wide-ranging collection of Oriental objects is internationally renowned,
including as it does priceless Imperial porcelain to the world’s most important collection of trade
porcelain. Ming porcelain is characterised by its technical and aesthetic perfection and is still
regarded as the pinnacle of refined porcelain in China and the West. The exhibition Mysterious
Ming includes 250 rare vases, dishes and jugs. The collection came about primarily because of
Nanne Ottema’s (1874–1955) passion for collecting. A lawyer in Leeuwarden, Ottema also founded
the Princessehof, Museum of Ceramics in Leeuwarden (the Netherlands).

Rebirth of Canons: The Art of Copy in Chinese Painting and Calligraphy
17.03.2013-15.09.2013
Museum for Asian Art, Berlin State Museums
A "Canon" is an art work that is generally considered to be the most influential. A characteristic
phenomenon in the historical development of Chinese painting and calligraphy is that Chinese
artists constantly learn through imitation of classic works. This does not mean however that artists
lacked original ideas or creativity, what they have been doing is taking the canons from old masters
as examples, and through copying them, are able to emulate historical styles and then use that as a
basis for their own creative contributions. One can also identify rivalry between the old masters
and artists who followed them; the old masters set up the canons and later other artists
appropriated their schemas and techniques, first to imitate them, then to transcend them as they
became masters themselves. In this way the canon is repeatedly reborn and evolves in Chinese art.
This exhibition focuses on the specifics of this practice in Chinese painting and calligraphy
through selected masterpieces from the collection of the Asian Art Museum to demonstrate this
intriguing learning process.

From Object to Concept - Global Consumption and the Transformation of Ming Porcelain
Stacey Pierson: Senior Lecturer, SOAS, University of London
18:00-19:30, Thursday, 25th April 2013
Museum of East Asian Art, Bath
12 Bennett Street, Bath, BA1 2QJ
Ming porcelain is among the world’s finest cultural treasures. From ordinary household items to
refined vessels for imperial use, porcelain became a dynamic force in domestic consumption in
China and a valuable commodity in the export trade. In the modern era, it has reached
unprecedented heights in art auctions and other avenues of global commerce.
This book examines the impact of consumption on porcelain of the Ming period and its
transformation into a foreign cultural icon. The book begins with an examination of ways in
which porcelain was appreciated in Ming China, followed by a discussion of encounters with
Ming porcelain in several global regions including Europe and the Americas. The book also looks
at the invention of the phrase and concept of ‘the Ming vase’ in English-speaking cultures, and
concludes with a history of the transformation of Ming porcelain into works of art.
“The book has an impressive historical scope, from the 14th to the 21st century. Secondly, it
ranges over a variety of interesting topics relevant to the history of a famous commodity—in
addition to discussing the economic production, social use, and reception of Ming porcelain
throughout the world, it has a novel and often amusing account on the treatment of Ming
porcelain in modern popular UK and US culture. It presents an extensive coverage of recent
English-language work on Chinese porcelain, and attempts to put the study of Ming, and by
extension Chinese, porcelain in a wider conceptual framework, that of transcultural shifts in the
use and meaning of art objects.”

Send us no more dragons: Chinese Porcelains for Western Markets
William R. Sargent
Ringling Museum of Art
Florida State University
9 May 2013
Treasured for its delicate forms, translucency and durability, porcelain was first produced in China
around the 8th century. The "secret" of porcelain eluded the West for centuries where the
technology would not be fully duplicated for another thousand years. The history of the trade in
this unique material, the exportation of ceramics from 15th century to 18th century, their use in
interior design, and the influence of export ware on European ceramic technology and history is
discussed in this talk.

New Work In The Art History And Archaeology Of Asia
An Oriental Ceramic Society One-Day Conference For Early Career Scholars
London, Kensington Central Library
22 JUNE 2013
The Oriental Ceramic Society, a learned society founded in 1921, is organising a broad-based
conference on topics in Asian art, archaeology and material culture. This will be the second in a
series of study days focussing on different regions, with the aim of introducing a new generation
of scholars to Oriental Ceramic Society members, and emerging scholars to an audience that
includes yet reaches beyond the academic world. If you are in the early stages of a university or
museum career in Asian art history or are pursuing a doctoral dissertation, and would like the
opportunity to present your research to an informed general audience as well as specialists, we
would like to hear from you.
The Oriental Ceramic Society holds monthly lectures in London at the Society of Antiquaries in
Piccadilly on all aspects of Asian art, with particular emphasis on the ceramics of East Asia.
Lectures are published in the annual Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society. This new
initiative aims to provide a platform for younger researchers, curators and academics to discuss
their work before an audience of colleagues and collectors. Summaries of lectures and selected
full papers will be published in the Transactions.
In addition to the lecture programme and a regular newsletter with research updates, book
reviews and bulletins on new archaeological discoveries, OCS activities include: study days and
conferences; exhibitions drawn from members’ collections; discussion and handling groups; visits
to private and public collections; tours to kiln sites and museums
in China.
Please send an abstract of not more than 500 words to ocs.london@btinternet.com preferably
before 28 February 2013.

The Conservation of East Asian Cabinets in Imperial Residences (1700-1900)
We are pleased to announce the 1st International technical workshop within the framework of
the research project “Asian interior decoration in Schönbrunn Palace: conservation sciences for
research, amendments and new perspectives on art and cultural history, restoration history of the
Asian collection“ to be held July 4th to 5th, 2013 at the Schönbrunn Palace Conference Centre in
Vienna.
This conference brings together conservators, conservation scientists and art historians active
in the field of conservation concerns of cabinet ensembles, porcelain, lacquer ware and paper
with East Asian context.
The conference will be highly multidisciplinary, exploring various aspects of Asian interior
decoration in imperial palaces (still existent or since lost). Lectures and discussions will feature in
the workshop. The main topics are conservation strategies for historical settings with an East
Asian context. General and thematic discussions will focus on mounting and installation strategies,
optimization of exhibition procedures (embedded in the broad field of Preventive Conservation),
and historical and modern mounting concepts (especially for ceramics). Presentations will include
conservation sciences, technical and technological examination and material analyses
(cutting-edge technologies for material and structural diagnostic of porcelain, lacquerware and
paper/watercolours). Amendments to art historical research and cultural contextualization will
concern research and determination of provenance, history and dating of objects with
contributions from conservation sciences as well as the differentiation between the imported
Asian originals, European adaptations of imported goods or European works modeled on
original Asian ceramics and lacquer items. In addition, case histories will be an essential part of
the workshop – zooming in on the ensemble of collections, on their history, on the history of
individual objects, while at the same time always considering their restoration history.
Technical details:
The workshop is organised by the University for Applied Arts/ Institute of Conservation and
Restoration, and the Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H. Support is given by the
Austrian Science Fund.
The lectures planned should not exceed 20 min.
Call for Papers Papers about related topics are welcome. A 2000 character abstract should be
submitted by 28.03.2013. Full papers (10 - 15 pages including references, notes, graphs and tables)
