For the first time, a collection of Chinese art from Taipei's National Palace Museum is travelling to the southern hemisphere for an exclusive showing at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which is a rare opportunity to see some of the highest artistic achievements across 5000 years of Chinese history.
The National Palace Museum, Taipei, holds one of the finest collections of Chinese art in the world. Accumulated by emperors over centuries, this collection was, for hundreds of years, accessible only to the imperial elite. It is now rarely seen outside Taipei.
Celebrating the rich heritage of Chinese civilisation through the ancient concept of tian ren he yi — unity or harmony between heaven, nature and humanity – Heaven and earth in Chinese art presents a series of 87 artworks including paintings, calligraphy, illustrated books, bronzes, ceramics, jade and wood carvings, dating from the Neolithic period to the 19th century.
Mandarin Producer Alan Qu reports from the exhibition at The Art Gallery of NSW.
