Return of the Grice Ivories

Art
12/04/2008 - 04/10/2008

This exhibition will feature the stunning Grice Chinese Ivories collection, which comprises over 150 antique carved pieces dating from the 18th to 20th centuries and is one of the few collections of Eastern art in the North of England. It is one of only two important and internationally known collections of Chinese ivories in the UK and was last on display at the Graves Art Gallery in the 1990s.



In this new exhibition, local Chinese community groups will play a key role in co-curating the show, providing personal meanings and interpretation. This approach will help to provide the cultural context of ivory works of art in Chinese society, as well as the religious, social and historical background against which they were made and collected both at home and abroad.

For further information, please contact Graves Art Gallery on 0114 278 2600 or by email.
