Contemporary Chinese Art by Wu Hung (Editor); Peggy Wang (Editor)
Call Number: Print Books N7345 .C665 2010
ISBN: 9780822349433
Publication Date: 2010-09-01
Despite the liveliness and creativity of avant-garde Chinese art in the post-Mao era and its prominence in the world of international contemporary art, until now there has been no systematic introduction to this important work in any Western language. Moreover, most of the relevant primary documents have existed only in Chinese, scattered in hard-to-find publications. Contemporary Chinese Art remedies this situation by bringing together carefully selected primary texts in English translation.
