Dear List members,
 
Can anyone tell me about the following book which I saw on a booksellers  
website recently?
 
 
5000  Years of Korean Arts by National Museum of Korea.  Presumed  first 
edition/first printing thus. Wraps. National Museum of Korea (1976)   
Very  good. No dust jacket as issued. Book is in a slipcase. Slipcase has 
some wear  and soiling. 339, [2] p. Includes:  illustrations, maps. Many of 
the plates are in color. Chronological Table. List  of Plates. Preface by  
Choi  Sunu, Director, National Museum of Korea. This work contains 
masterpieces from  different periods and introductions by experts.  The experts who 
authored the sectional introductions are: Yi Ki-baek; Kim  Won-yong; Han 
Byong-sam; Chin Hong-sop; Hwand  Su-yong; Ann Key-hyon; Choi Sunu; and Chong 
Yang-mo.   
Is this a common item?  Is it well  regarded?  The bookseller's website 
where I saw it is _www.groundzerobooksltd.com_ 
(http://www.groundzerobooksltd.com) .   It seems to have a lot of military and political items in English 
related to  Korea but there seemed to be relatively few items on Korean 
culture and artistic  heritage. 
Thanks in advance for any information you can  provide. 
Sincerely, 
Roger

Curator-led Tour of the Philadelphia  Museum of Art's Korean Art Collection 
and PMA Korean  Craft Fair on Friday, November  13th

The Korean Art Society and  the Philadelphia Museum of Art have planned for 
you an  exciting Korean Art Day in Philadelphia, only about a  one hour 
train ride from New York. We will begin the  day at the annual Philadelphia 
Museum Craft Fair.  Every year, this fair focuses on and invites artists  from 
one country, and this year it's Korea! We'll tour  the fair, meet the 
artists, have lunch and then be  treated to a tour of the PMA's Korean art 
galleries by  Hyunsoo Woo, Curator of Korean Art. PMA is one of only  4 American 
museums to have their important Korean  collections catalogued by the Korean 
government. This  is a very rare opportunity to see a great variety of  
antique and contemporary Korean art and artists all at  one time, and promises to 
be a lot of fun. As always,  the Korean Art Society charges no fee for its 
part in  this event. You need only pay your transportation  costs and 
admission fees.
