Sculpture is just a word, an English word, which elicits an image in the minds eye. Sculpture is a European idea. In China, on the other hand, statues, stele, and other figural objects were made for millennia without being thought of as Sculpture. There was no Sculpture in China. Imagining Sculpture" is the story of this something that did not exist." Imagining Sculpture" is a series of short vignettes, historical and fictional. Travellers, scholars, collectors and antiquarians encounter statues, figures and effigies in China, Japan, England, Germany, France, Italy and the United States from the fourteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century. The book is visual, cinematic and sumptuous told with rare photographs, paintings, sketches, letters and ephemera. It offers a new kind of visual narrative and a different way of seeing and knowing."
