"Circles of Reflection:
The Carter Collection of Chinese Bronze Mirrors"
2000-09-17 until 2000-11-26
Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, OH,
USA
The exhibition comprises more than 90 bronze mirrors, dating from the 4th or 5th century bc to the 19th century. The scope is
comprehensive, as the exhibition not only places emphasis upon major epochs such as the Han (206 BC-AD 220) and the Tang
(AD 618-907), but also gives an unprecedented degree of exposure for mirrors that were produced in the Song (AD 960-1279)
and post-Song periods (1279-1800). In that respect, the Carters are singularly bold and venturesome collectors and have formed a
collection that is unique in the West.
