	The Provision and Use of Information on Chinese Art in London Libraries - 62nd IFLA General Conference
		Many major European and American collections of Chinese art were developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the flow of objects out of China was facilitated by the political turmoil of the Opium Wars, the Boxer Rebellion, and the collapse of the Qing Empire.
		London is one of the most important centres for study and research on Chinese art outside China because of its fine museums and private collections, its internationally active auction houses and art dealers, and also because of its world-acclaimed scholarship in universities and cura torial departments of museums.
		Art historians, researchers, lecturers, museum curators, auction house professionals, private art dealers and students are the main components of this community.

		Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, University of London, 1996.
		A strong body of Chinese scholarly opinion is currently of the view that the first true porcelain was made in the Chinese province of Zhejiang during the Eastern Han period, but this opinion is controversial.
		Chinese enamelled wares are also produced in this way, but the enamels are added after the first, high-temperature, firing and the pieces are sent for a second firing in a smaller, lower-temperature kiln.

		Curation of the colloquy's programme was the responsibility of Craig Clunas, Percival David Professor of Chinese Art and Archaeology, and Ming Wilson, Senior Curator in the Asian Department at the VandA.
		Clunas is known for an approach to art history that is informed by contemporary critical theory, and he and his fellow convenor's agenda for this colloquy reflected such engagements.
		The Chinese tradition in the field is sketchier and less well-defined than it is for us, more dependent on the personal authority of scholars and collectors than on attention to the material itself.

		It was rather begrudgingly that the Chinese, under domination of the Mongols during the Yuan dynasty, acculturated the style, having been ‘encouraged’ to take advantage of existing trade relationships with the Near and Middle East, thus producing blue and white to appeal to Islamic tastes.
		Its founder, Sir Percival David, had been a student of Chinese art and archaeology, and travelled extensively through China in the 1920s and 1930s, collecting and recording countless Chinese ceramics, many of which had been in the Imperial Collection.
		Much of his research was published and his efforts had and continue to greatly enhance the profile and knowledge of Chinese arts in the West.

		This work was published as a catalogue for an exhibition of Qing porcelain held by the Percival David Foundation and the American Federation of Arts and includes a thorough introduction to the collection and the porcelains it contains.
