Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £14.03
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The works of the remarkable artist, Fang Zhaoling, who died in 2006 at age 92, are found in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, which was gifted with more than 40 of her works from her family, the University of Oregon museum, where she has lectured, the V & A, the Freer, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the British Museum, and the Ashmolean of the University of Oxford, among others. The artist, who painted in Oxford, is the subject of a breathtaking centenary exhibition of her calligraphy and paintings at the Ashmolean. This catalogue documents her prodigious output -- paintings and calligraphy done in China, Hong Kong, America and the U.K.. From private collections and from the Fang family collection, many have never before been on public display. The catalogue is doubly of interest because of Zhaoling's remarkable personal story, of life's ups and downs and of endurance. The artist received many honors during her lifetime, including the Tokyo Fuji Art Award, awards from the government of Hong Kong and an honorary doctorate degree from Sokya University, Tokyo. Contents: Director's Foreword; Foreword; Fang Zhaoling in England; Catalogue; Chronology; Bibliography.
