"China Today: Modern Developement of an Ancient Art"
2001-08-29 until 2001-09-24
Pretoria Art Museum
Pretoria, ,
ZA South Africa
The exhibition China Today - Modern Development of an Ancient Art comprises fifty-odd pieces of contemporary ceramic works of distinctive styles, the selection of which was commissioned by the Ministry of Culture of P. R. China, and conducted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Masterpieces were then acquired from China’s ceramic capitals as Jingdezhen, Yixing, Foshan, etc.
The collection reflects the artistic exploration by contemporary Chinese potters, and many help to illustrate, in one way or another, the current development of this age-old art form in a nation with a long past, open to the world, and towards a new millennium.
