As an old client of Michael I would love to have a copy of the exhibition catalogue. I hope one day to visit his beautiful Hong Kong space. How nice to have him back. Meanwhile I am enjoying the beautiful pieces my husband and I brought from him.

I thank Michael Weisbrod of New York for his boldness in acquiring masterpieces as seen in pieces like the "Huge Camel and Foreign Rider", the unique pair of "Northern Ch'i Warriors" and the "Wei Civil Official".

The Weisbrod Collection
Since 1972 the Weisbrod name has been synonymous with discerning taste and extensive scholarly knowledge.
With more than 49 years of experience dealing the best ancient Chinese art and with an extensive collection available to the market today, Michael Weisbrod is one of the world's most respected dealers in Chinese art.
In Chinese art, no symbol has been used more frequently than the dragon. In Chinese mythology, dragon is a sacred animal associated with the imperial family and the abstract deity Tian, or Heaven, on the one hand, and with clouds, rain and fertility on the other.
The shapes of the cong and bi from the Liangzhu Culture, archaic forms that are still mysterious in terms of their original significance and function, have come to represent the continuity of Chinese culture through their repetition and imitation.
