The catalogue is richly illustrated with more than 200 full-color images, with many print impressions and other works of art that are being published for the first time.

Although a sales exhibition, an attempt was made in a number of catalogue entries to go somewhat beyond the piece at hand to explore larger questions suggested by the iconography, the shape or form of some objects, the dating, or the lives of individual artists. It is hoped that a proper emphasis remains on the works themselves and that the additional material will prove of further use to students or collectors." excerpt from the preface by Howard Rogers, January 1996, Kamakura.…

The exterior shows edge wear, scuffs and scratches. Edges slightly bumped. A few bumps on the spine. The outside text block shows some wear. Interior with minor signs of wear.; Catalogue from an exhibition held at Asia Society and Museum, New York, New York from October 6 through December 31, 2006; and Museum fur Ostasiatische Kunst, Cologne, Germany, from January 26 through April 22, 2007; and at the Museum Rietberg Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland from May 13 through July 15, 2007.; More than 200 stunning objects recently excavated from Inner Mongolia have been brought together in the landmark exhibition, Gilded Splendor: Treasures of China's Liao Empire (907-1125). The first major presentation of Liao artifacts outside of China, the exhibition reveals the complex cultural and religious legacy of the Liao dynasty, the most powerful in East Asia at the turn of the first millennium. The excavated objects in Gilded Splendor shed new light on Liao-dynasty culture which, until recently, had generally been considered less sophisticated than the preceding Tang (618-907) and parallel Song (960-1279) dynasties. Archaeology in China over the last few decades has proven this characterization to be inaccurate as sites of Liao-period temples, tombs and city fortifications reveal spectacular objects that testify to a highly refined and culturally unique empire. Established with astonishing speed in the beginning of the tenth century by the Khitan, a confederation of nomads whose homeland was the eastern end of the Eurasian steppes, the Liao empire eventually comprised the greater part of Manchuria, eastern Mongolia and north China. In geographic extent, it rivaled the other great powers of Asia such as the Khmer Empire of Cambodia and the Abbasid Empire of Iraq and Iran. The exhibition was organized by Asia Society and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Historic Relics Archaeological Studies Research Institute and curated by Dr. Hsueh-man Shen, University of Edinburgh, in conjunction with Dr. Adriana Proser, John H. Foster Curator of Traditional Asian Art at Asia Society. "Gilded Splendor brings together a selection of magnificent objects that have changed people's ideas of China in this period," says Asia Society Museum Director Melissa Chiu. "Through this exhibition, major catalogue and symposium, Asia Society aims to provide new scholarship around archaeological finds in recent decades that reveal the significant role of the Liao dynasty.". "Earlier official Chinese histories treat the Liao as uncivilized nomads, even 'barbarians,'" says Adriana Proser, John H. Foster Curator of Traditional Asian Art at Asia Society. "These objects tell a different story. They illuminate the lives and practices of a nomadic people who settled and maintained distinct cultural traditions, while developing rich and complex social, political and trade relationships across Asia, including Persia, Korea, Japan and Song China.". This exhibition catalogue includes essays by Nicola Di Cosmo, Dieter Kuhn, Hsueh-man Shen, Nancy Shatzman Steinhardt, Sun Jianhua, Ta La and Zhang Yaqiang. Catalogue entries are authored by Emma C. Bunker, Lynette Sue-ling Gremli, Marilyn Leidig Gridley, Hiromi Kinoshita, François Louis and Hsueh-man Shen. …
