Feng-Chun Ma - Book Launch - Asian Art in London 2024

About

The book launch includes a lecture by the author, Drs. Feng-Chun Ma. This richly illustrated bilingual volume (English and Chinese) includes one hundred items of Chinese ceramics, works of art, textiles, and paintings, all featuring boys, which reflect the importance of having male children in traditional China. Each item is extensively researched and described within its historical, cultural, and religious context, with an emphasis on the rich symbolic meanings behind each object. With this publication, Feng-Chun Ma celebrates her fortieth year in the East Asian antiques trade.

To be published in mid-October 2024. A sale exhibition is scheduled for 2025.

The richly illustrated book includes 100 items of Chinese ceramics
and works of art, snuff bottles, textiles and paintings, relating to boys engaged in all sorts of activities. Each item is extensively described and researched against its historical, religious and cultural background, and at the same time explores the hidden symbolic meanings behind the images. Many objects have never been on the market before and have excellent provenances from old Dutch private collections, renowned dealers and auction houses.
