Chinese art. This dissertation sheds light not only on the historical formation of Chinese
art collections in America, but also on the circulation and reception of Chinese art
objects. It is true that Loo, as a crucial agent in the international transfer of cultural
properties, had created many complicated political, ethical, and legal issues. It is also true
that research on him affords a significant opportunity to promote international
cooperation and exchanges in the field Chinese art. I hope this dissertation will serve as a
springboard to broaden our understanding of Chinese art globally.
