摘要

Michael St. Clair's The Great Chinese Art Transfer: How So Much of China's Art Came to America documents the unprecedented removal of art and antiquities from China in the late 19th to early 20th century, and the flow of this material to dealers, collectors and museums in the US. With China's economic, political and social upheaval at the end of the Qing dynasty, huge quantities of artefacts were transferred to richer countries in the West. Indeed, the Chinese Culture Relics Society estimates that more than ten million objects have left China since the middle of the 19th century. This vast removal was made possible both by the obvious huge differential in wealth between China and the US and the relative ease with which Westerners could acquire such material at this time. When China dissolved into chaos at the end of the Qing period, many impoverished elite families, desperate for cash, were forced to sell works of art. As St. Clair argues, such an enormous exodus of a country's art is never likely to be repeated. In the US, art collections proliferated in the late 19th century, reflecting the new wealth, especially in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston. The book identifies the networks of (mainly Western) collectors, dealers and scholars in China, as well as the curators in US museums, and explains how these institutions acquired their considerable Chinese collections.
机译：迈克尔·圣克莱尔（Michael St. Clair）的《伟大的中国艺术转移：中国有多少艺术品流向了美国》记录了19世纪末至20世纪初空前的艺术品和古物从中国的撤离，以及这种材料向经销商，收藏家和博物馆的流动在美国。随着清朝末期中国经济，政治和社会的动荡，大量的手工艺品被转移到西方较富裕的国家。实际上，据中国文物学会估计，自19世纪中叶以来，已经有超过一千万件物品离开了中国。中美两国之间明显的巨大贫富差距以及西方人此时相对容易获得这种物质的能力，使得这种大规模的撤离成为可能。当中国在清朝末期陷入混乱时，许多穷困的，急需现金的精英家庭被迫出售艺术品。正如圣克莱尔（St. Clair）所说，一国艺术如此庞大的外流绝不可能再发生。在美国，艺术品收藏在19世纪后期激增，反映了新的财富，特别是在纽约，费城，巴尔的摩和波士顿。该书确定了中国（主要是西方）的收藏家，商人和学者的网络，以及美国博物馆的策展人的网络，并解释了这些机构如何获取其可观的中国藏品。
