Xu Bing: Book from the Sky to Book from the Ground (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781788840620)

Xu Bing has resided in the United States and China, giving him a unique insight into both Far Eastern and Western culture. His lifelong fascination with language began at primary school, when the Chinese language was simplified and complicated in quick succession. This theme of characters being abolished, modified and restored resonates in Xu Bing's artistry. Xu Bing has exhibited across the world, from the Museum of Modern Art, New York, to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, the National Art Museum of China and beyond. He is an A.D. White Professor-at-Large with Cornell University, New York.
