Item Number: 128486 Title: Contemporary Chinese Art : A Critical History Author: Gladston, Paul Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781780232690 Description: London: Reakton Books, 2014. 24cm., pbk., 256p., 150 illus., 100 in color. Summary: The market for contemporary Chinese art is one of the fastest-growing internationally, attracting buyers from all over the world, including, increasingly, from within China itself. There are thriving artistic communities in major cities throughout China, most notably Beijing's world famous 798 Art Zone. Meanwhile, the arrest and secret detention in 2011 of artist Ai Weiwei focused attention on China's politics and issues of state control. This book sheds light on the development of Chinese art since Deng Xiaoping's policy of 'Opening and Reform' was confirmed in 1978, putting the art into context within China and internationally.
