【蓋德爾博士母親 Justine Keidel 藏書】1964年精裝首版 遠東藝術史 含发票A History of Far Eastern Art — Sherman E. Lee (First Edition, 1964)

本書由前克里夫蘭藝術博物館館長、東亞藝術泰斗謝爾曼·李（Sherman E. Lee）撰寫，是二十世紀西方學術界研究亞洲藝術最具影響力的通史巨著。全書架構宏大、圖實並茂，從新石器時代的印度河流域與前商代中國，一路延伸至中國、日本、韓國及東南亞的佛教藝術、印度教雕塑、以及明清與江戶時期的書畫陶瓷藝術。作者以卓越的策展人視角與敏銳的審美，將各地區的藝術風格置於歷史變遷與跨文化交流的脈絡中，至今仍是全球各大院校東亞美術史的必讀聖經。

Authored by Dr. Sherman E. Lee, the legendary director and curator of the Cleveland Museum of Art, this monumental work remains the definitive text on the history of Asian art in the Western academic canon. Sweeping in scope and richly illustrated, the volume seamlessly charts the artistic evolution of East, South, and Southeast Asia—ranging from the Indus Valley and pre-Shang China to the grand traditions of Buddhist and Hindu sculpture, and the masterworks of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean painting and ceramics. Written with a curator's eye and profound historical synthesis, this landmark study contextualizes the regional styles within the broader fabric of cross-cultural exchange.

🏛️ 歷史背景與重要性 / HISTORICAL BACKGROUND & SIGNIFICANCE

本書初版於1964年，正值二戰後歐美對東亞文明研究迎來黃金發展的關鍵期。本書不僅是一部學術經典，更是 Keidel 家族跨代東亞情緣的實物見證。

極其珍貴的名家傳承與家族故事（Provenance）：

如書中所附 1969 年 7 月 22 日的約翰霍普金斯大學書店原始訂單所示，本書最初由著名的日本浮世繪與美術收藏家 Justine L. Keidel 女士 親自特訂購買，扉頁亦留有醒目的 "KEIDEL" 家族簽名。Justine 女士一生熱愛日本藝術，曾向多家頂尖博物館捐贈大量珍貴的江戶明治版畫。這本書隨後傳承給了子嗣——著名東亞發展經濟學家、前世界銀行駐華首席經濟學家、喬治華盛頓大學教授 艾伯特·蓋德爾博士（Dr. Albert Keidel）。這本融合了母親的藝術審美啟蒙與兒子數十年漢學、東亞治學歷程的典藏，承載了兩代精英學者家族對亞洲文化的至高致敬，在稀見書市場上具有無可比擬的人文與學術履歷價值。

 Background & Significance:

First published in 1964, this masterpiece emerged during the golden post-war era of East Asian studies in the West. Beyond its immense historiographical value, this specific copy stands as a poignant artifact of multi-generational intellectual legacy.

Distinguished Two-Generation Provenance:

As permanently documented by the original Johns Hopkins University Book Center special order form dated July 22, 1969 tucked inside, this volume was custom-ordered by Mrs. Justine L. Keidel, a prominent and dedicated American collector of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints who later gifted significant artworks to elite museums. The bold "KEIDEL" ownership inscription on the flyleaf mirrors this family lineage. The book was subsequently passed down to her son, Dr. Albert Keidel, the celebrated development economist, former Senior Economist at the World Bank's Beijing office, and GWU professor. Combining a mother’s artistic connoisseurship with a son’s decades of macro-East Asian scholarship, this copy bridges art history and intellectual history, offering an unparalleled provenance pedigree for serious collectors.
