About the Item
A Fuller View of China: Chinese Art in the Seattle Art Museum by Josh Yiu. Samara Museum of History Regional Studies, 2014. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Founded in 1933, the Seattle Art Museum is home to a premier collection of Chinese art. This book is the first to chronicle and analyze the growth of the collection, which was largely assembled during the first half of the 20th c. Reviewing more than 100 boxes of museum archives, annual reports, correspondences, and available records of all transactions, the author provides a nuanced account of Seattle's Chinese art collection, and reconsiders the "golden age" of collecting Chinese art in the early 20th c. He demonstrates the challenges for Westerners to acquire authentic objects of historical significance when Chinese art study in the West was in its beginnings stage. He argues that a first-rate collection is a condition that needs to be maintained through a relentless quest for superior objects. As a case in point, Seattle's collection of more than 2,500 objects was not merely accumulated over time, but improved through decades of continuing acquisitions and deaccessions. The main figure behind this story is the founding director Dr. Richard Fuller (1897-1976), who started collecting in the beginning of the 20th c. Yiu shows how Fuller's interest shifted from tourist souvenirs to high-quality objects that represent China's artistic legacy, and how he refined the collection over time. Gradually Fuller became a great collector through diligent study and earnest consultation with experts, such as Sherman Lee. The book serves as a reminder that good collections requires much more than resources and "good taste."
