The exhibition illustrated the life of the Chinese scholar as seen through their arts, and, through the medium of certain objects, to demonstrate their attitude to life and connoisseurship.; "Over the twenty-five years since the publications of Arts from the Scholar's Studio, there have been a number of notable publications and exhibitions that have furthered knowledge of this unique and broad field of study. Yet demand for this ambitious landmark publication, formed around the collections of members of The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong and Hong Kong's museums has long outstripped its availability. Benefiting from the scholarship and enthusiasm of Mr. Gerald Tsang and Mr. Hugh Moss, its findings remain as relevant today as they were when they first appeared." excerpt from the introductory text by Chris Hall, President of The Oriental Ceramic Society, October 2011..
