Hardcover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. English text; Hardcover in slipcase; 256 pages with 309 colour illustrations.; 26 x 35.5 cm; 2.9 kg; Limited edition of 400 numbered copies from I to XX and from 21 to 400.; The fifth volume of The RA Collection is the first in the series to depart from ceramic to other fields of…cross-cultural art. The RA Collection of Chinese Enamelled Copper. A Collector's Vision focuses on pieces made of enamelled copper which were produced in parallel with Chinese porcelain during the 18th and early 19th centuries. As its predecessors, this book illustrates highlights from the collection, works of art representative of the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures in the modern era. Each piece has been carefully selected by the collector, Renato de Albuquerque, ensuring that the overall collection can serve as a source for the study and furthering of knowledge in the field. Following in the tradition of the previous volumes of The RA Collection of Chinese Ceramics. A Collector's Vision, the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2016, Global by Design Chinese Ceramics from the R. Albuquerque Collection, loans to other temporary exhibitions and conferences based on the collection, this volume is the result of Renato de Albuquerque's quest to continue to share his collection and the research undertaken on it with the wider public. Comprising a selection of 55 pieces or groups of pieces, this boxed, hardcover book brings to light new research on the inter-cultural connections that are central to the collection. The book draws on the combined expertise of Maria Antonia Pinto de Matos, Ana Moas and Ching-Fei Shih, to shed light on the collector's choices and the complex intersections between enamelled copper and porcelain production in 18th century China. Published in a limited edition of 400 numbered copies, this work is a further supplement to what has been described as 'the best work yet written on Chinese export porcelain' (The Economist, November/December 2011).
