Straits Chinese Silver. A Collector's Guide.
MENG, HO WING. Stock ID: 100998 Colour photographic illustrations, 191pp, glossary, bibliography, index, dustjacket. Hindu-Islamic in shape and function, yet strangely characteristic of the Chinese in emblem and decorative design, Straits Chinese silver is an unusual product of two cultural traditions. Though having none of the quiet elegance of old Malay silver, the ornamental beauty of Straits silverworks is particularly striking and has an appeal of its own. To highlight this collector's volume are over 130 illustrations, captioned in refreshing detail, about 90 of which have been reproduced in full colour. The stunning collection shown here is representative of the finest Straits Chinese silver to be seen anywhere in present-day Malaysia and Singapore, and covers the entire inventory of Strait silverwork.

Re - Connecting. Selected Writings on Singapore Art and Art Criticism.
SABAPATHY, T.K., AND CHEO CHAI-HIANG. Stock ID: 127606 Black and white photographic illustrations, 127pp, index, paperback. Liu Kang (1911-2004) and Ho Ho Ying (1936-) are important painters in Singapore's art history. But along with their creative practices, they also played key roles as art writers and critics. Their opposing positions on modernism and abstraction, and the debate and discussion generated between them, both shaped and reflected Singapore's art scene through the 1950s, 60s and 70s and well into the 1980s. These selected writings, mostly drawn from the Chinese-language press, and now translated into English, vividly document important phases in Singapore's art history. The editorial team of T. K. Sabapathy, and Cheo Chai-Hiang has an unparalleled understanding of the critical landscape in which Singapore's art has developed over the years. Cheo's introduction of Liu Kang and Ho Ho Ying as writers establishes certain key themes in the relationship between art and criticism in Singapore and Southeast Asia, with its many artist-writers and artist-critics. Those in Singapore's art world often assume that they work, write and read in a critical vacuum, but as this book shows, this conclusion is far from the truth.

| Cultural Relations. The Other Side of the Diplomatic Coin. Australia's cultural engagement with Asia in the visual arts since 1948.
MANTON, NEIL. Stock ID: 66474 Colour plates, 180pp, signed by the author, index, paperback. "Australia has had a long and dynamic cultural relationship with the area broadly known as 'Asia'. In this fascinating book, Neil Manton considers the development of Australia's cultural relations policy for the region, drawing on archival material from key public service Departments. Concentrating on the visual arts, Neil follows the course of six major art exhibitions ? five sent from Australia to various countries in South East Asia, and one which came to Australia from Malaysia ? all of which drew favourable responses from viewers and host Governments. Australia's modest but well?directed cultural programs were seen by many as sympathetic to the times and to the aspirations of then emerging nations. Neil finishes with an assessment of where Australia is today in relations with neighbouring countries in South East Asia, and the growth of the Asian communities in Australia."
