    USD 3.5 Million Tang Dynasty Silver Bowl and Other Highlights from September Asia Week New York!

    Hope everyone is enjoying the autumn season! I've been traveling a lot the past few weeks so have been a little late in posting my trip to the September 2019 edition of Asia Week New York. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen some of the highlight objects I was examining during my auction house visits. I wasn't even CLOSE to posting everything I saw, so this blog features more examples of the Asian Art items I really liked. As many of you know, Asia Week New Yor

    Late Spring Chinese Art Highlights in Hong Kong - Porcelain, Buddhas and Jades

    I finally made it back to Toronto! If you have been following my Instagram, you probably saw that I was in Hong Kong for two weeks. In addition to eating some amazing food, I also checked out the numerous Chinese Art events taking place at the end of May. Not only was there the large International Antiques Fair, but there were also auction previews at Bonhams, Sotheby's and Christie's. Christie's occupied the largest venue at the Hong Kong Convention Centre so most the photos

    Asian Art in London – Museum Treasures, Yongzheng Porcelain and Sumo Cats

    It’s been a crazy 2.5 weeks, but I finally made it back to Toronto! I was on the road for the last while - consisting of an 8-day stop in London followed by 6 days in New York City. In London, I attended the Asian Art in London festivities. Just like Asia Week NYC, the London events featured previews at multiple auction houses on the international and regional level. In addition were new Asian-themed museum exhibitions, gallery and dealer shows, and various Asian Art lectures

    Strong Start to the Fall Asian Art Auction Season - Featuring Bronzes, Porcelain and Monkeys

    I'm back from another whirlwind visit to New York City! This time it was for the Fall Asia Week festivities from September 8th until September 16th. I ended up staying for five days in the midtown area. The September auctions at the big three international auction houses - Bonhams, Christie's and Sotheby's - are typically a little bit more low key than the March editions, but there was still so many places to visit with over 2000 Asian Art objects to preview. After seeing and

    April Bishop White Committee Newsletter from the Royal Ontario Museum

    My latest article can be found in the Spring 2017 issue of the Royal Ontario Museum's 'Newsletter of the Bishop White Committee'. Published twice a year (Fall and Spring) by the ROM, the BWC Newsletter reports on current departmental news, upcoming events, and commentaries that deal with the museum's East Asian department. The Bishop White Committee was founded in 1960 by a group of museum volunteers led by Louise Hawley Stone (1904-1997) to promote the ROM's Far Eastern depa

    Happy Year of the Rooster!

    Happy belated Chinese New Year! January 28, 2017 marks the beginning of the rooster year and the end of the monkey year (my Chinese zodiac sign). I'm definitely no Chinese zodiac master, and through my 'scientific' online searches, I realized there are probably dozens of conflicting characteristics for people born under this sign (take 2017 and keep subtracting multiples of 12 to see if you are born in the year of the rooster, i.e. 2005, 1993, 1981, etc). People born in the y

    Chinese Imperial Porcelain at the Boston MFA - Including the Paul and Helen Bernat Collection

    Boston remains one of my favourite cities along the East Coast and I was fortunate enough to visit for a few days in late August. With the feel of a smaller version of Toronto, the majority of the city is easily walkable. There are famous landmarks, amazing restaurants and some of the best museums in North America. It has been a couple of years since I last visited so I did make a point to visit the newly renovated Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Harvard Art Museums (they
