Liu; C Griffith Mann; Lawrence Nees; Stacey Pierson; Marcia Reed; Eugene Wang and Wen-Hsi Klappentext Collecting China 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 to critical reinterpretations of historical writings.
