100 Highlights from the Albuquerque Collection
100 Highlights from the Albuquerque Collection offers an exceptional journey through one of the world’s most important private collections of Chinese export porcelain and cross-cultural works of art from Africa and Asia, assembled by the collector Renato de Albuquerque. Carefully curated by leading scholars, William R. Sargent and Valentina Bruccoleri, the publication presents one hundred outstanding objects selected for their artistic excellence, rarity and historical significance.
Spanning roughly a period of 1,400 years, the works featured in this first catalogue for the Albuquerque Foundation reflect the collector’s rigorous criteria in bringing together objects that not only illustrate, but also deepen our understanding of the wider field of material culture resulting from encounters between different peoples and cultures.
Each highlight is accompanied by expert commentary that situates the object within its cultural, historical, and commercial contexts. The essays explore themes such as cross-cultural exchange and global trade while examining the enduring dialogue between East and West that helped shape and circulation of shared material heritage.
