This unique book shows why many believe China is the next "tidal wave" of opportun ty for art collector.s: the sheer creative output,the artistic variety and diversity now blooming from within a country where,only a few decades ago, such expression would be repressed.

In the West, contemporary Chinese art has become the subject of intense fascination and speculation. In this book, writer and photographer Jon Burris profiles twenty-five top contemporary Chinese painters, sculptors,photographers, and conceptual artists, taking the reader into their studios and presenting intimate glimpses into their life and work. As a result, he offers a lingering portrait of the contemporary Chinese art scene.

From the symbolist paintings of Zhang Xiaogang, to the cynical realist works of Yue Minjun and the political pop canvases of Wang Guangyi, Burris details the historical, political, and cultural mimesis shaping China's contemporary artists.A must-have book for admirers of contemporary Chinese art.
