Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, distributed for the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 2012. 27cm., pbk., 175pp. illus., most in color. Exhibition catalogue. Publisher's summary : In 1908, the American adventurer Robert Sterling Clark organized a scientific expedition to northern China to create a detailed geographical survey, photograph the region and its peoples, and collect samples of the flora and fauna. Inspired by this important early record of the region, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute has organized a major exhibition of Chinese archaeological treasures from the Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Gansu provinces. Ranging from gilt bronze plaques with animal imagery produced by early nomadic cultures, to tomb guardians charged with protecting the deceased, to luxury goods reflecting the lucrative "Silk Road" trade, these artifacts are helping to redefine our understanding of ancient Chinese cultures.
