Bemerkungen

Einband berieben. - 1966 the museum did not own more than a handful of Chinese paintings. This was a conspicuous lack in a department so well rounded in all other media. Today, after a patient and systematic search, our section of Chinese paintings counts over 150 scrolls and albums dating from the 12th to the 20th century, with strong emphasis on the Ming and Ch'ing periods. The most spectacular addition may well be a huge twelve-panel landscape by Hua Yen. Prior to 1966 our Korean department was particularly strong in celadons of the Koryo period. We did add a few items to this important group, but also diversified our efforts by acquiring ceramics of earlier and later periods, as well as early Buddhist sculptures and paintings, including a rare representation of Buddha and the Eight Great Bodhisattvas. Most of our recent Indian acquistions have been in the realm of Buddhist, Jain and Hindu stone sculptures. These statues and reliefs date from the 2nd to the 15th century A.D., with, however, a particularly strong medieval contingent. All Lamaist and Southeast Asian cultures are also well represented and following a new avenue that was opened by Avery Brundage as early as 1963 we have built up the only full-fledged collection of Khmer sculpture in the country.
