About This Item
Jorge Welsh Research and Publishing, 2017 Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Edition. English text; Paperback; 360 pages, 280 colour illustrations and 5 black & white illustrations; 23.5 x 29.7 cm; 2.3 kg; LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES.; Exhibition catalogue; This exhibition catalogue illustrates objects from the 16th to the 19th century that not only resulted from, but also contributed to the creation of global connections in the modern era. This catalogue includes works of art from Africa, India, Sri Lanka, China, and Japan, which travelled to the West via maritime trade routes opened and operated by Europeans, and focuses on the quintessential examples of their time. Totalling 69 entries, this selection ranges from brass works from the Kingdom of Benin to Indian silver filigree, Sinhalese ivory furniture, Chinese porcelain, and Japanese lacquer, among other pieces. By encompassing new symbols, decorative patterns, shapes, functions, materials, and techniques, these works of art were originally intended to fulfil different needs throughout the world and help to document the social transformations that arose from the opening of direct channels of trade. At the same time, all of these works of art embody the theme of intercultural exchange, which led to the creation of new traditions and forms of art that resonate in our ever-more international cultures of today..
