Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition held at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco (January 17-September 6, 1998), this authoritative catalogue examines forty-four exceptional examples of Chinese furniture dating from… the sixteenth to mid-eighteenth centuries. Drawing heavily from the celebrated Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, the volume emphasizes the refined structural logic, restrained ornamentation, and material sophistication that define classical Ming and early Qing furniture. Essays and catalogue entries address form, construction, materials, function, provenance, and historical context, supported by extensive scholarly apparatus and comparative references. The catalogue is richly illustrated with high-quality color plates and detailed views. All catalogue photography is credited primarily to Shin Hada (New York), with additional images by Simon Leung (Hong Kong) and Thornton Morris Associates (London). Text contributions include a preface by Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, an introduction by Lark E. Mason, Jr., and specialized sections by Michael Knight, Nicholas Grindley, and Anita Christy. Printed and bound in Hong Kong by Magnum (Offset) Printing Company Ltd. Book is Near Fine: tight, square, and as new, with clean, bright pages and no writing, markings, or flaws observed. Binding firm and unworn. Dust jacket Near Fine, with only the lightest handling evidence; now housed in a clean, removable Plasti-Kleer-Brodart protective sleeve. No tears, chips, or price issues. First edition exhibition catalogue, published 1998. No later printings or edition statements noted. Robert Hatfield Ellsworth (1929-2014) was one of the most influential Western scholars and dealers of Chinese art in the twentieth century. Based in New York, he played a central role in shaping modern understanding of classical Chinese furniture, ceramics, and decorative arts, advising major collectors and museums worldwide. His publications remain foundational references in the field.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. ELLSWORTH, Robert Hatfield. LATER CHINESE PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY: 1800-1950, 3 VOLUMES. New York, 1986. 10.5 x 15", 3 vols, xvi; xviii; xxiii, 399; 369; 281 pp., 875 color plates, 118 text-figures, text in English with Chinese captions, index, cloth, all edges gilt in gold, brown deco…rative clamshell style box with tipped in color plates. The culmination of more than three decades of study and collecting, the three-volume Later Chinese Painting and Calligraphy: 1800-1950 is one of the most important, sumptuous publications of Asian Art. Taking a period that has been ignored and undervalued by scholars, curators, and collectors, Robert Ellsworth has produced a work that not only forces us to re-examine all previous assessments of that tumultuous era in Chinese art, but promises to launch a new wave of interest in, and appreciation for, its unique achievements. Through more than 850 superb examples from his own collection, the author shows how exposure to Western art led, in painting, to an extraordinary new diversity and vitality, and how archeological discoveries in China fueled a dazzling renaissance in calligraphy. Two of the three volumes reproduce 550 paintings and 325 calligraphies, representing the work of every major artist of the period in full color. The extensive commentaries in the third volume include biographies of each artist. Every calligraphy, inscription, and seal is transliterated into precise English. The breadth and depth of fresh scholarship, the quality of the art, and the luxurious production combine to make Later Chinese Painting and Calligraphy: 1800-1950 one of the monumental achievements in art book publishing in our century: an essential source book for anyone interested in Asian art, and an object of permanent beauty and value.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine, as new. First edition. Folio (14-1/2" x 11"). 3 volumes. Text in English and Chinese. Index. Vol. 1 is bound in blue silk, Vol. 2 in green silk, Vol. 3 in orange silk. All 3 vols. with gilt lettering on spines are housed in publisher's sturdy black cloth clamshell box with a reproduced color painting…mounted on the top lid. A fine, as new set still in the publisher's original shipping carton. Western critics and historians had long looked upon Chinese paintings of the 19th and 20th century as a "dead zone" of creativity following the "eccentric" masters of the 17th and 18th century. Maverick collector Robert H. Ellsworth here reveals the error of that assumption in this monumental work which reproduces all 471 paintings that Ellsworth donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1987, along with hundreds of images of calligraphic scrolls and fans. The index alone contains commentaries and biographies of 300 artists and calligraphers, along with transliterations into Chinese script of every inscription and seal. This work was originally published by Random House for $800.
