Stacey Pierson, senior lecturer in Chinese ceramics in the History of Art and Archaeology Department at the University of London, will present “Collectors, Collections and Museums: Chinese Ceramics in Britain, 1560-1960” on Wednesday, March 25, at 6:30 p.m. at the Cleveland Museum of Art Recital Hall.
In her talk, Pierson will explore the collecting, consumption and display of Chinese porcelain in Britain, which culminated in the founding of a museum of Chinese ceramics in London by one of the foremost British collectors, Sir Percival David (1892-1964).
The event—free and open to the public—is co-sponsored by the Department of Art History and the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University, with support from Pauline and Joseph Degenfelder.
