Collecting China: The World, China, and A Short History of
Collecting is a unique collection of essays that brings together
theories of materiality and what collecting has meant to various
peoples over time. Collecting China grew out of a simple question:
how does a thing become Chinese? Fifteen essays explore this
question from different angles, ranging from close examination of
world-renowned private collections (the Rockefellers, the
Goncourts, the Walters, the du Ponts, the Yeh family, and the Getty
Research Institute, among others) to critical reinterpretations of
historical writings that continue from records of Emperor Wu Di of
the Han Dynasty to the story of Robinson Crusoe and the first
international exhibition of Chinese art. With accounts that
incorporate records normally unavailable to the public, the authors
map the vast network of collecting practices in different periods,
and demonstrate the ways in which material things produced in China
acquire new cultural identities through collecting practices.
