Subject:Asian art apraisal online course?
Posted By: Luis Fri, Mar 28, 2014 IP: 190.136.124.165 Hi: does anybody know about any online course, or any kind of information source to learn about asian art? I should like to learn a little about distinguishing fakes from real pieces, ages, quaiities and prices. |

Posted By: rat Sun, Mar 30, 2014 I don't know of an online course, but there are a few good books depending on the material you want authenticate (paintings? calligraphy? porcelain? etc). there are also instructive exhibition catalogs that put genuine and fake works side by side. |

Posted By: rat Wed, Apr 02, 2014 I don't know of sources for most of those areas, but there are a few books that compare genuine and fake ceramic examples, and a few more on paintings. Typing "fake" into the Paragon Books website pulls up a few examples in jade, bronze, etc. There was a large exhibition of genuine and fake ceramics in China perhaps a decade or so ago now that had a good catalog; a similar exhibition of genuine and fake paintings held in 1993 or so has just been reprinted in China. You might email Paragon or even Hanshantang asking for their recommendations in each medium you are interested in. |
