Despite The Liveliness And Creativity Of Avantgarde Chinese Art In The Postmao Era And Its Prominence In The World Of International Contemporary Art, Until Now There Has Been No Systematic Introduction To This Important Work In Any Western Language. Moreover, Most Of The Relevant Primary Documents Have Existed Only In Chinese, Scattered In Hardtofind Publications. Contemporary Chinese Art Remedies This Situation By Bringing Together Carefully Selected Primary Texts In English Translation. Arranged In Chronological Order, The Texts Guide Readers Through The Development Of Avantgarde Chinese Art From 1976 Until 2006. Because Experimental Chinese Art Emerged As A Domestic Phenomenon In The 1970S And 1980S And Its Subsequent Development Has Been Closely Related To Chinas Social And Economical Transformation, This Volume Focuses On Art From Mainland China. At The Same Time, It Encompasses The Activities Of Mainland Artists Residing Overseas, Since Artists Who Emigrated In The 1980S And 1990S Were Often Key Participants In The Early Avantgarde Movements And Have Continued To Interact With The Mainland Art World. The Primary Documents Include The Manifestos Of Avantgarde Groups, Prefaces To Important Exhibitions, Writings By Representative Artists, Important Critical And Analytical Essays, And Even Some Official Documents. Each Chapter And Section Begins With A Concise Preface Explaining The Significance Of The Texts And Providing The Necessary Historical Background; The Volume Includes A Timeline Summarizing Important Art Phenomena And Related Political Events.Publication Of The Museum Of Modern Art
