Arts from the Scholar's Studio
文玩萃珍:中國文物的絕對境界

The exhibition of "Arts from the Scholar’s Studio" in 1986 was our Society’s sixth exhibition and marked its twelfth year. In common with previous exhibitions, its success depended entirely on the dedicated commitment of its members in planning and organisation. Begun under the Presidency of Mr Angus Forsyth, it was brought to fruition under that of Dr K. S. Lo (1910–1995), who also loaned to the exhibition through his donation to the Hong Kong Museum of Art, which formed the basis for the Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware. This formula of drawing on private and public collections and resources has fostered an environment in which members of the Society can share and further knowledge of Asian art.

Over the twenty-five years since the publication of this exhibition catalogue "Arts from the Scholar’s Studio", there have been a number of notable publications and exhibitions that have furthered knowledge of this unique and broad field of study. Yet demand for this ambitious landmark publication, formed around the collections of members of the Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong and Hong Kong’s museums has long outstripped its availability as it has long been out-of-print. Benefitting from the scholarship and enthusiasm of Mr Gerard Tsang and Mr Hugh Moss, its findings remain as relevant today as they were when they first appeared.

The Society has therefore decided to publish a new limited edition (1,500 each-numbered copies only) of this book in the hope of stimulating further interest and scholarship in the field. HK$1,200 (~US$155) each copy, plus postage. To order please email our publisher at cabookclub@pacific.net.hk.


Arts from the Scholar's Studio
by Gerard Tsang and Hugh Moss

Catalogue of an exhibition presented by the Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong and the Fung Ping Shan Museum, University of Hong Kong, 24 October to 13 December 1986.

Although there has long been keen appreciation of the objects that the Chinese scholar favoured and used in his work, the study of this important aspect of Oriental Art has hitherto remained somewhat unco-ordinated. The aim in this exhibition therefore is to illustrate the life of the Chinese scholar as seen through his arts, and, through the medium of certain objects, to demonstrate his attitude to life and connoisseurship.
