The Effects of Imperial Collecting on the Transmission of Chinese Paintings
Throughout Chinese history the collection of art, calligraphy, and poetry was a social activity among the culturally refined, providing the framework and the pretext for yaji, the "elegant gatherings" of the literati. Collectors, such as the Yeh family, have played an important role in gathering, evaluating and disseminating Chinese art. The Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, and the Institute of East Asian Studies, UC Berkeley, jointly sponsored this conference on the collection of Chinese art, in conjunction with the exhibit The Elegant Gathering.

The Elegant Gathering: Art, Politics, and Collecting in China
Panel 2: Calligraphy and Poetry.
This panel looks at different forms of calligraphy and writing, with attention towards the revitalization of calligraphy as mode of conversation and act of performative display. We are also interested to look at the context of yaji or elegant gatherings and the ways in which aspects of writing - choice of text, inscribing and re-inscribing - intertwine with concepts of gift exchange, reciprocity and exchange of ideas.
