At the heart of color – Masterpieces of Chinese monochrome porcelain (8th-18th century)
Exhibition from June 12 to September 16, 2024.
Summer event at the Guimet museum, the exhibition “At the heart of color” traces the long history of porcelain and grand feu colors in China between the 8rd and 18rd centuries. Coming from the extraordinary Zhuyuetang collection of Richard Kan (Hong Kong) and that of the Guimet museum, 250 masterpieces illustrate the Chinese taste for formal simplicity and purity of colors, resulting from centuries of perfection. The incessant quest for purity, until finding the perfect shape and color, has given birth to unique pieces of great aesthetic finesse, presented in the exhibition.
