Quaritch is hosting a wonderful exhibition of highlights from the Terry Bennett collection until Saturday (see: http://britishphotohistory.ning.com/profiles/blogs/exhibition-early-chinese) in their former premises in Lower John Street close to Paccadilly Circus and Soho. At an informal reception last night Lindsey Stewart of Quaritch and Terry Bennett introduced the exhibition and some of the key pieces on show. The collection has been compiled by Bennett over a twenty year period and is probably the best of its type in the world. Quaritch have published the first two volumes of Bennett's history of photography in China and the next volume is due out in 2011/12.
The exhibition closes on Saturday - do take the opportunity to see an exceptional collection of historic photographs of China.
