Separating Sheep from Goats investigates the history of collecting
and exhibiting Chinese art through the lens of the career of
renowned American curator and museum director Sherman E. Lee
(1918-2008). Drawing upon artworks and archival materials, Noelle
Giuffrida excavates an international society of collectors,
dealers, curators, and scholars who constituted the art world in
which Lee operated. From his early training in Michigan and his
work in Occupied Japan as a monuments man to his acquisitions,
exhibitions, and publications for museums in Detroit, Seattle, and
Cleveland, this study traces how Lee shaped public and scholarly
understandings of Chinese art. By examining transnational efforts
to collect and present Chinese art and scrutinizing scholarly and
museological discourses of the postwar era, this book contributes
to the historiography of both Chinese art and American museums.
