Building on a lifelong engagement with Chinese printing, Christer von der Burg began collecting 18th-century Suzhou prints in the 1990s and has since assembled and studied a major corpus.
This lecture presents new findings from his collecting and contends that Suzhou prints are a crucial, yet long-neglected, chapter in the global history of print and visual culture. The lecture accompanies the CMA’s exhibition Print Revolutions: Chinese Impressions, 1630s–1960s and celebrates the museum’s recent acquisition of over 100 prints from the Christer von der Burg collection.
