In \u003ci\u003eNew Export China, \u003c\/i\u003e Alex Burchmore presents a deep dive into a unique genre of ceramic art to describe a framework for a broader art practice. Focusing on the work of four artists from the 1990s through the 2010s--Liu Jianhua, Ai Weiwei, Ah Xian, and Sin-ying Ho--Burchmore reveals how the materiality of ceramics has been used to highlight China's role in global trade and to explore the function of this medium as a vessel for the transmission of Chinese art, culture, and ideas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From its historical pedigree and transcultural relevance to its material allure and anthropomorphic resonance, porcelain offers artists a unique way to move between the global and the intimate, the mass produced and the handmade, and the foreign and the domestic. By dissecting both the legacy of porcelain export and current networks of exchange, Burchmore ultimately demonstrates why this ceramic practice is crucial to understanding the development of Chinese contemporary art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Burchmore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520390016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520390010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.24h x 7.32w x 0.87d","brand":"Alex Burchmore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079165505791,"sku":"9780520390010","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c0a97ba-0e2f-464c-a88a-e552fa449ed0.jpg?v=1685479672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-export-china-alex-burchmore-9780520390010","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
