Highlighting the dimensions of Central European connectedness, this volume explores how these collections evolved and changed under changing cultural and political conditions from the pre-World War I to the post-World War II periods. With a primary focus on collections of East and South Asian art in Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, Cracow, Budapest, and Ljubljana, it outlines the transregional connections and networks that gradually developed.00'Collecting Asian Art' locates Asian art across the twentieth-century in Central Europe via discourse and ideology, and discusses key collections and the way individual collectors built their networks. It thus explores transregional connections that developed through collecting activities and strategies in the prewar, interwar and postwar eras. Contributors also examine the personal connections between a group of Indologists from postwar Prague and modernist Indian artists from the early 1950s to the 1980s and also discuss the systematic archiving of East Asian art collections in Slovenia. A concluding conversation looks at colonisation and decolonisation from a broader perspective by approaching it through recent art historical discussions on the global dimensions of modernism. By defining the region through its external relationships and its entanglements with regions across Asia rather than as a self-contained unit, the contributions in this volume outline how these transregional connections and networks evolved and changed over time, thus highlighting their singularity in comparison to developments in Western Europe. Based on recent research, 'Collecting Asian Art' reveals neglected sources while reinterpreting well-known ones.Art, South AsianCollectors and collectingEurope, CentralCongressesArt, East AsianCollectors and collectingEurope, CentralCongressesArtPolitical aspectsCongressesArt, South AsianCollectors and collectingEurope, CentralCongressesArt, East AsianCollectors and collectingEurope, CentralCongressesArt sud-asiatiqueCollectionneurs et collectionsEurope centraleCongrèsArt extrême-orientalCollectionneurs et collectionsEurope centraleCongrèsArt sud-asiatiqueCollectionneurs et collectionsEurope centraleCongrèsArt extrême-orientalCollectionneurs et collectionsEurope centraleCongrèsArt, East AsianCollectors and collectingfastArt, South AsianfastArt, AsianfastArtPolitical aspectsfastImperialismfastCentral EuropefastElectronic books.
