|  | Ming vases have been long regarded as the epitome of priceless beauty. Exploring the grandeur of the last native Chinese dynasty (1368-1644), Power and Glory demonstrates why not just vases but Ming art of many types has earned such acclaim. The book catalogs an exhibition to be presented at the Asian Art Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the St. Louis Museum of Art in 2008 and 2009. The exhibition gathered rare objects from China''s prestigious Palace Museum (Forbidden City) in Beijing, the Nanjing Municipal Museum and the Shanghai Museum. More than 200 objects in a variety of materials - porcelain, paintings, textiles, lacquer, jade, jewelry, architectural elements, etc. - are discussed in detailed entries. Essays by authors He Li and Michael Knight, and a special contribution on Ming painting from Richard Vinograd (Stanford University), provide background, context, and interpretation.

|  | Tadao Ando, born in Japan in 1941, trained himself as an architect, reading and traveling extensively through Africa, Europe, and the United States. In 1970 he founded Tadao Ando Architect & Associates; since then the firm has become known for buildings that express a sense of contemplation and meditation in both form and material. Many of his buildings, typically constructed from concrete, define an enclosed space in which visitors can respond to the elements of light and water. Geometrically simple yet subtly and richly articulated, Ando's works share the serenity and clarity of traditional Japanese architecture. This new monograph focuses on the effect of natural elements on architecture, one of Ando's ongoing preoccupations. More than thirty projects are presented, from early houses in Osaka and elsewhere in Japan to major current works, including the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts in St. Louis and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Also included are the Children's Museum, Hyogo, Himeji; the Church on the Water, Hokkaido; the Church of the Light, Osaka; the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum; the Nariwa Museum; the UNESCO meditation space, Paris; the Teatro Armani, Milan; and a private house in Chicago.bKenneth Frampton/bis the Ware Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University.
