Lastly, curator Thomas Michie will discuss the China Trade in pre- and post Revolutionary America, and its 19th century legacy through ceramics, furniture, portraits and architecture. Conversation, coffee, and pastries provided. Generous support for this program is provided in memory of Virginia Campbell Courts and Nancy Fraser Parker, longtime patrons of the High Museum of Art.
