Always eager to share the joy of experiencing his treasures, Dr Perino exhibited his lacquer, prints and paintings at the MAO - Museum of Oriental Art in Turin between 2008 - 2023.?The twenty-four paintings featured in the current sale were a part of a large exhibition?curated by Prof Matthi Forrer at?the Museo delle Culture in Lugano and later the Torinian MAO between 2020 - 2022. Among the sixty-seven lots presented here, there are a few pieces of Korean ceramics. Chinese art is represented among others by a porcelain plaque by Wang Qi, an early Qingbai ewer and two important Qing Dynasty embroidered silk robes.
