The article reviews the traveling exhibition "Emperors' Treasures Chinese Art from the National Palace Museum, Taipei" showing at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, California through September 18, 2016 featuring several Chinese art objects such as a vase from Ming dynasty and a painting.

The article reports that the sale of contemporary Asian art, particularly works by Chinese artists, has boosted the sales of the auction houses in London, England in October 2007. Among the three major houses, which held their October auctions to coincide with the fifth Frieze Art Fair, sales totaled a substantial £175 million, surpassing the traditionally dominant Impressionist-and-modern sales in February and June 2007.

The article describes a porcelain architectural model called "Auspicious Reliquary," considered the most exquisite surviving example of celadon porcelain made in Longquan, China in the 13th century. The model, which is one of 17 objects on view in "Rising Dragon: Ancient Treasures From China" at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri in October 2007, is so rare there is no evidence of other models as sophisticated as the reliquary, according to archaeological records.
