Amy Clague's remarkable collection, incorporating superb examples from Song through Qing, allows art historians to re-assess the textile arts of China's recent centuries, 1100-1900. Textiles were often admired on a par with painting or calligraphy and could take inspiration directly from those fine arts. Their use in tribute and trade as well as in Buddhist ritual contexts is dramatically revealed in recent studies. The present study of works in the Clague collection explores these topics further and examines the relationship of these textiles to the greater fabric of Chinese art. Amy Clague's collecting was stimulated by recent exhibitions of Chinese textiles in Hong Kong and New York. She lent several works to Heaven's Embroidered Cloths: One Thousand Years of Chinese Textiles, organized by the Hong Kong Museum of Art in 1995, the first major international exhibition to bring together textiles and costumes from collections throughout the world. The gathering of scholars and collectors at the symposium for that exhibition fueled her interests. She was inspired to continue collecting a broad range of styles and techniques within Chinese textiles and to seek works of varying function rather than concentrating on aspects of costume, an area where many significant studies have already emerged. Two years later The Metropolitan Museum in New York and The Cleveland Museum of Art held a joint showing of Central Asian and Chinese textiles in the exhibition called When Silk Was Gold, and this gave further inspiration to Amy Clague's collecting. She resolved to follow the example of James C.Y. Watt and Anne E. Wardwell, who set a high standard of scholarship in their groundbreaking study of Chinese and Central Asian textiles. She thus has allowed her textiles to be subjected to technical analysis and radiocarbon dating as well as full examination by a textiles conservator. The results of these studies appear in the catalog entries below. This is the catalogue for an exhibition in Phoenix in 2000, El Paso through 2001, and the China Institute of America in New York from January to June 2003. Arizona native Clague has assembled Chinese silk textiles ranging from the Song (960-1279) and Jin (1115-1234) to the Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. A chronology, five essays, and a bibliography accompany the color reproductions of pieces and details.…
