SUMMARY:The Albuquerque Foundation: From Private Collection to Dynamic Public Institution for the Study of Chinese Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Dr H. Y. Mok Charitable Foundation Lecture\nSpeaker: Becky MacGuire\nBrazilian Renato de Albuquerque spent almost 50 years carefully building a vast collection focused on the cultural interchange embodied in Chinese ceramics and other Asian export arts. Now that collection has come to life as a dynamic institution that will study, preserve and interpret the collection, transforming it into a resource for scholars and the public alike.\nAn 18th century quinta just outside Sintra, Portugal that had been an Albuquerque family retreat has been completely renovated to anchor the Foundation’s campus, which now includes a soaring-roofed glass pavilion housing the museum galleries and state-of-the-art storage facilities. A new stand-alone gallery is dedicated to contemporary ceramics, highlighting the evolving nature of the art form.\nAt the heart of the Foundation’s programming will be revolving exhibitions of the historic collection. Rich in early Portuguese orders and other significant examples of Chinese export ceramics, the collection also explores the many other categories of ceramics–from Tang dynasty to late Qing–that reflect the artistic exchange of global trading networks. This talk will introduce the Foundation and its collection and tour its inaugural exhibition.\nMembers do not need to book to attend this lecture.\n5:30 pm – Society of Antiquaries opens for members’ refreshments\n6:15 pm – Lecture begins\nThis lecture is sponsored by Dr H. Y. Mok Charitable Foundation and the Albuquerque Foundation\nVenue Accessibility Information\nThe Society of Antiquaries welcomes wheelchairs and mobility vehicles however since the main entrance consists of steps they will provide a ramp.
