Wow! I bet at times like that you wish you had some of Trump's or Buffet's wealth.

THANKS MUCH.

There are some better ones than that.

At one time I had a working list of Asian Art web pages, but when the old laptop died so did it.

I will keep you in mind when I find more...

I have also seen some very good Asian Art books and magazines.

I know a little about Chinese art, but some of the sites go into "Asian" art in general.

Go to your local public library. It very well might have lots of info on this stuff.

I also very much enjoy Chinese calligraphy. I am more knowlegeable on that than say some of the details of porcelain.

I can post lots more. Tommorrow...

I have to work in the morning :^)

I appreciate it, please let me know if you find others.

Chinese calligraphy... must be fascinating.

You cannot take those pieces out of China. So even if you DO have the money, unless you feel like some hard time, don't even think about it. They will also take the thing back and you'd be stuck out the money.

You can own it, just not take it out of China.

To take those kinds of things outside of China is a crime (really, not figuratively) in China.

Of course the govt often sponsors some 'tours' of art where they approve things for loan or whatever...

They can be appreciated just fine by visiting a museum. Its cheaper too.

When you get beyond the outlying stuff things start to get REALLY interesting.

I can try to get you a start if you want...

Thanks, I would appreciate it. I always had an interest, but am re-adjusting my time to take time to learn more about interesting things such as ancient art and archeology. Asian and Chinese art is very interesting -- just from this article, the craftmanship, that even today is not duplicated, as that comment about the colors indicates.
