From the 1980s, many Chinese artists have experimented with a range
of unconventional materials. Their works-in plastic, paper, silk,
ash, and tobacco-form a major trend in Chinese art. The Allure of
Matter offers the first serious consideration of these
ground-breaking material explorations, coining the term Material
Art to describe works that place "matter" itself as the primary
vehicle of investigation and expression. The book contains four
ground-breaking essays, profiles of twenty-five artists, and
corresponding color images.
