SUMMARY:2,000 Years of Korean Ceramics: What, When and Why
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Shang Shan Tang Lecture \n\nSpeaker: Sang-ah Kim – Curator: Korean Collection, British Museum\nFew art forms trace the arc of Korean history as vividly as ceramics. This talk explores two millennia of Korean ceramic production, from the early high-fired stoneware of the Three Kingdoms period to the refined porcelains of the Joseon dynasty, drawing on objects featured in ‘Korea: 2,000 Years of Creativity’ at the British Museum.\nThe exhibition brings together works from the Lee Kun-Hee Collection, one of the most significant collections of Korean art, donated to Korea’s national museums in 2021 by the family of the late Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-Hee (1942–2020). This unprecedented national donation of more than 23,000 works has enabled the collection to be shared more widely with audiences, and this exhibition marks its first showing in Europe, presented in partnership with the National Museum of Korea and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea.\nFrom ritual vessels and burial goods to wares made for connoisseurship and everyday use, this talk situates Korean ceramics within their broader historical, religious, and social contexts, tracing how changing techniques and forms reflected the shifting beliefs and priorities of each era.\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 Shang Shan Tang\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.
