This is an exhibition catalogue devoted to the "late period" work of Wang Chi-Ch'ien, better known as C. C. Wang, for an exhibition of February 7 - July 7, 1996 at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. Wang [1907-2003] was a Chinese-born artist and art collector based in New York City. His collection of ancient Chinese paintings is consistently listed as one of the greatest collections in the world. In 1998, 25 paintings from his collection were given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Examples of his own earlier paintings are the last authentic examples of "literati art" from China. Several expatriates practiced the style after the Chinese Communist Revolution, but he was the last to die of those who practiced it, and the style was not permitted immediately after the revolution. Subsequent generations had no one to pass the style onto, and so it died out with the few expatriates practicing abroad, like Wang. Inscribed by Illustrator(s).

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Limited edition of 500 copies, signed and hand-numbered in black ink on the title page by Liao. Hardcover. Fine purple cloth-covered boards with title stamped in white on front cover, no dust jacket as issued; contained in a printed cardboard carrying case. Photographs by Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao. Essays by Anne Wilkes Tucker and Tom Finkelpearl. Unpaginated (100 pp.), with 47 four-color plates (including two 2-page spreads) exquisitely printed on heavy matte paper. 12 x 24 inches. New in publisher's packaging (opened only for signature). From the publisher: "One of the main arteries between Queens and Manhattan is the IRT 7 subway and rail line. Jeff Liao lives along this route, and takes the train every day. Over the course of many journeys, he has developed a connection with his fellow passengers, many of them fellow immigrants who, he believes, share his dream of a better life in America. Liao walked the length of the line and selected locations where there was evidence of the 7, even if there was no train in sight. These photographs show wide sweeps of the neighborhood with such an amazing depth and perspective that it is a surprise to learn that he does not use a panoramic camera. Instead, he makes several 8 x 10 negatives of the same scene and combines them digitally, taking up to 60 hours to complete one composition. His technique is as breathtaking as the pictures he produces, and is described in greater detail in the essays by Anne Wilkes Tucker and Tom Finkelpearl. Jeff Liao was born in Taiwan and moved to New York in 1999. Habitat 7 is Liao's first monograph." Signed by Author.
