Wai-kam Ho
Art in America, March, 2005 by Stephanie Cash, David Ebony
Wai-kam Ho, 80, art historian and curator, died Dec. 28 in Shanghai of complications of diabetes. Following undergraduate work in China, he received a double master's degree from Harvard in Chinese history and Asian art in 1953. He was a pioneer in the Western study of Chinese art, widely respected for his exhaustive research; his accomplishments included correctly redating works that were once thought to be 15th-and 16th-century copies of works from the 10th and 11th centuries.
He was curator of Oriental and Chinese art at the Cleveland Museum from 1959 to '83 and curator of Chinese art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City from 1984 to '94. At the time of his death, he was a guest curator at the Shanghai Museum. Among his publications are Chinese Art Under the Mongols: The Yuan Dynasty, 1279-1368 (with the late scholar Sherman E. Lee) and The Century of Tung Chi-chang, 1555-1636.
