Chinese Art: A Seattle Perspective July 13, 2008

Started by Dr. Richard E. Fuller, the founding director of the Seattle Art Museum, and his family from the early decades of the last century, the collection contains representative works from each dynastic period, and it is particularly strong in jades, ceramics and sculpture. Subsequent directors and curators of Chinese art have strengthened other areas of the collection, notably painting, calligraphy, bronzes, and, most recently, contemporary Chinese art.
