Thanks for your feedback Lashwan. I’m sorry to hear that you had problems reading our blog on your iPhone. Mobile optimization is high on our list of priorities, and we hope to improve this experience later in the year.

Why is your blog not iphone compatible? Needed to go to my PC and finish reading.
Your website basically froze up my iphone… that is horrible.

Is it possible to buy the poster of Nanjing Road in 1932?

The new logo stinks. It conveys all the wrong messages: (1) It implies that “Asian” and “Asian art” are “inverted”. Has the museum administration been so busy finishing dissertations and courting South Bay donors that it forgot to read Edward Said? (2) It conveys institutional insecurity and weakness (i.e. it invites the question of, What was wrong with the old logo?). Self-confident institutions don’t change their logos. (3) It conveys the sense that “Asian” is somehow inscrutable, which is exactly opposite the AAM’s mission! (4) The upside-down image is one of the oldest clichés around–cf. dig into the ground to get to China, on the other side of the world; the “world upside down” image of Japan, etc. As someone who has actually worked with the institution and wishes only the best for it, it really saddens me to see it being cheapened and made to look so provincial, which is what the logo change ultimately accomplishes.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR COMING EXHIBIT AND MAY THE GODS LOOK KINDLY ON YOUR EFFORTS AND REWARD YOU WITH LARGE RESPONSIVE AUDIENCES…..I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF VISITING THE TERRA COTTA ARMY
IN XIAN DURING MY1980 VISIT AND WAS FASCINATED BY THE COMPLEXITY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT THE
ARTISTS BROUGHT TO THE INSTALLATION.
ISIT POSSIBLE THAT YOUR MISSING WARRIOR WENT AWOL
TO VISIT THE EAST COAST SO AS TO SEE WHAT SOME OF HIS COLLEAGUES BROUGHT EAST FOR A REUNION…

An artist from a thousand years ago sends a timeless message of condolence. Thank you, AAM. This tells us a lot about you.

Thanks for the question CK. Li says:

Chinese Ceramics – a New Comprehensive Survey, was published in 1996 by Rizzoli, and has been reprinted in 2006 by Rizzoli, and again in 2012 by Thames & Hudson. There’s no difference between these three reprints.

The recent book Chinese Ceramics from the Paleolithic Period through the Qing Dynasty, for which I was one of the three co-editors and of the 9 co-authors, was published in 2010 by Yale University Press, New Haven & London.
