Collecting China and Chinese Collecting
This month’s China Seminar enters the fascinating world of Chinese art collecting by inviting two speakers from China to offer views and perspectives on this world-wide phenomenon.
Shiqing Xue, connoisseur-collector-authenticator-consultant, will be interpreted by David Ding Ye. Mr. Xue graduated in 1991 with a BA degree in Chinese Art from Suzhou Institute of Fine Arts. He then joined Yangzhou Branch of National Bureau of Cultural Relics as Chinese art authenticator. In 2002, he established his art gallery in Shanghai: the Jixu Caotang (集虚草堂Thatched Hut of Modesty Collection) showcasing his collections.
