An Introduction to Treasures from the Yangzi Delta at the Cleveland Museum of Art

From a Land of Pestilential Vapors to Paradise on Earth: An Introduction to Treasures from the Yangzi Delta at the Cleveland Museum of Art A presentation in collaboration with the Cleveland Museum of Art featuring guest speaker Dr. Clarissa Von Spee, who discusses their current exhibition, China’s Southern Paradise: Treasures from the Lower Yangzi Delta on view through January 7, 2024. She explores how this region gained a leading role in China’s artistic production and how it succeeded in setting cultural standards. Curated by Dr. von Spee, this is the first exhibition in the West to focus on the artistic production and cultural impact of a region called Jiangnan, located in the coastal area south of the Yangzi River. Jiangnan has throughout large parts of its history been one of the wealthiest, most populous, and most fertile lands. For millennia, it has been an area of rich agriculture, extensive trade, and influential artistic production. Art from Jiangnan—home to such great cities as Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Nanjing, as well as to hilly picturesque landscapes interspersed with rivers and lakes—has defined the image of traditional China for the world. SPEAKER: Dr. Clarissa von Spee, the James and Donna Reid Curator of Chinese Art and Interim Curator of Islamic Art, Chair of Asian Art, Cleveland Museum of Art MODERATOR: Dessa Goddard, Vice-President, US Head of the Asian Art Group at Bonhams and former Chairman of Asia Week New York
