Biography
Stacey Pierson is Reader in the History of Chinese Ceramics at SOAS, University of London. In addition to teaching and supervising research students in the School of Arts, she is President of the Oriental Ceramic Society (London) and series editor for the Routledge series Histories of Material Culture and Collecting, 1550-1950. Previously, from 1995 – 2007, she was Curator of the Percival David Foundation of Chinese art, also at the University of London, which housed the world-renowned David collection of Chinese ceramics. She has published widely on aspects of Chinese ceramics and the history of collecting and exhibitions. In 2007 she published Collectors, Collections and Museums: the Field of Chinese Ceramics in Britain: 1560-1960 (Peter Lang), followed by Chinese Ceramics: a Design History (V&A Publications) in 2009 and ‘The Movement of Chinese Ceramics: Appropriation in Global History’, Journal of World History 23, no. 1, (2012). In 2013 she published From Object to Concept: Global Consumption and the Transformation of Ming Porcelain (Hong Kong University Press) and her most recent book is Private Collecting, Exhibitions and the Shaping of Art History in London: the Burlington Fine Arts Club, 1866-1950 (Routledge, 2017) which examines an influential art collecting group in London that played a key role in the intellectual development of Chinese ceramics and other collecting fields through display. She is currently preparing a monograph on the archaeology of porcelain.
