Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Rezension: This beautifully illustrated book explores the relationship between ceramics and cultural identity, especially as it relates to a family collection, and to the broader study of personal and social aspects of collecting. The book thus contributes not only to the study of Korea’s material heritage but also to KoreanAmerican or Asian-American studies, and to the history of collecting. It will be of interest to social as well as art historians, and to all who appreciate the aesthetic quality of Korea’s ceramic art. In addition, this collection has been extensively examined using thermoluminescence testing. These objects therefore also constitute an important type collection of tested pieces for this type of materials analysis, against which other ceramic works may be compared. Inhaltsverzeichnis: Symbols of identity. The Chang collection ; The practice of collecting ; Thermoluminescence testing ; The ceramics catalogue ; References -- About the catalogue -- Three kingdoms/unified Silla -- Goryeo dynasty -- Joseon dynasty. |
