A unique and visionary generation of young Chinese artists are
coming to prominence in the art world - just as China cements its
place as the second largest art market on the planet. Building on
the new frontiers opened up by the Chinese artists of the late
1980s and 1990s, artists such as Ai Wei Wei who came to the West
and became household names, this new generation are provocative,
exciting and bold. But what does it mean to be a Chinese artist
today? And how can we better understand their work? Here, renowned
critic Barbara Pollack presents the first book to tell the story of
how these Chinese millennials, fast becoming global art superstars,
negotiate their cultural heritage, and what this means for China's
impact on the future of global culture. Many young Chinese artists
have declared they are "not Chinese, but global" - this book
investigates just what that means for China, the art market, and
the world. Brand new Art from China is the first collection to
showcase the dynamic new art coming from Chinese artists, and
features full-colour photos and video stills throughout - with many
works being published in book-form for the first time. Featuring an
in-depth interview with Zhang Xiaogang, probably the most
well-known artist in China itself, whose sombre portraits of
Chinese families during the Cultural Revolution sell for as much as
$12 million at auction, alongside unparalleled access to the
tastemakers of today's art scene, Brand New Art from China is the
essential guide to Chinese contemporary art today - its vision,
values and aesthetics.
