In Conversation: Uli Sigg and Wen-hsin Yeh

Uli Sigg, Former Swiss Ambassador to China, Art Collector
Wen-hsin Yeh, UCB Professor, History

Uli Sigg, whose collection is to be on display in the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive exhibition "Mahjong," witnessed much of China's evolution from the Cultural revolution to the dynamic culture of today.  In conversation with UCB History Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Director of the Institute of East Asian Studies and a specialist in Modern Chinese History, Sigg will discuss not only his own collecting in China, but the history that unfolded before him.
