In this first major introduction to the topic, Wu Hung provides an accessible, focused, and much-needed narrative of the development of Chinese art across all media from the 1970s to the 2000s, a time span characterized by radical social, political, and economic change in China. The book is a richly illustrated and easy-to-navigate chronological survey that considers contemporary Chinese art both in the context of China's history and in a global arena. Wu Hung explores the emergence of contemporary art--as opposed to officially sanctioned art--in the public sphere after the Cultural Revolution; the mobilization by young artists and critics of a nationwide avant-garde movement in the mid-1980s; the re-emphasis on individual creativity in the late 1980s and the heightened spirit of experimentation of the 1990s; and the more recent identification of Chinese artists, such as Ai Weiwei, as global citizens who create works for an international audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wu Hung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500239207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500239209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.90h x 9.30w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 790","brand":"Wu Hung","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980982812927,"sku":"9780500239209","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9c16d1f-811e-47de-95f1-fd5625520409.jpg?v=1683253020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-chinese-art-wu-hung-9780500239209","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
