Riassunto

The Saatchi Gallery’s extensive collection of contemporary Chinese art is presented here in a breathtaking collection of images. Accompanying the artwork, curator Joshua Jiang addresses the similarities between the rebellious spirit of the current generation of Chinese artists and the mood of rebellion that existed from the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in 1966 to the death of Mao and the fall of the Gang of Four in 1976. With world attention focused on the economic development and massive cultural upheavals of China―many of which are embodied in the transformation of Beijing for the 2008 Olympics―Chinese artists have emerged after years of containment by the strictures of the national ideology. Vast and awe-inspiring, this is a distinctive look into the changes, innovations, and evolutions of Chinese art.
