Stanley Abe received his Ph.D. from the University of
California, Berkeley. His field of research is Chinese
Buddhist art. He is now developing a critical study of
the construction of a history of Buddhist art in China,
Japan, Europe, and the United States during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This study
pays special attention to the collecting, sale, and
movement of objects, museum practices, aesthetic
theory, and forms of knowledge organized by the
disciplines of art history, ethnography,
and religious studies in the context of colonialism and
an international art market.
