About this Item

Language: English. Brand new Book. In this offset systematic introduction to gimmicky Chinese fine art, Wu Hung provides an attainable, focused and much-needed narrative of the development of Chinese art across all media from the 1970s to the 2000s. From its underground genesis during the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), gimmicky Chinese art has become a dynamic and hugely influential force in a globalized art world where the distinctions between Eastern and Western culture are quickly collapsing. The book is a richly illustrated and easy-to-navigate chronological survey that considers contemporary Chinese art both in the context of Cathay's specific historical experiences and in a global arena. Wu Hung explores the emergence of avant-garde or contemporary art - equally opposed to officially sanctioned fine art - in the public sphere later the Cultural Revolution; the mobilization by immature artists and critics of a nationwide avant-garde motility in the mid-1980s; the re-emphasis on private inventiveness in the late 1980s, the heightened spirit of experimentation of the 1990s; and the more than contempo identification of Chinese artists, such as Ai Weiwei, as global citizens who create works for an international audition.
